I think the "Black Falcon" comment was tying in to what Comics did to black characters usually have Black in their name. To signify Hey we have a black character look at this.

[@jordanreed1408]

Yeah, like blacklighting

[@ujamaa4]

That's it precisely, it was more a comic reference than a real world reference

[@tehtayziez]

I think that dialogue was quite an important thing because it was with another black person. Sam took issue with the kid referring to him as Black Falcon because the kid and his father are calling to attention the color of Sam's skin when the whole point is to stop doing that altogether. Essentially this is Sam taking issue with the idea that referring to him as 'Black Falcon', regardless of who says it and regardless of whether you say it as a point of pride or derision, you're still calling attention to his skin color as if it matters to who he is. Honestly it seems like Sam kind of shares a similar sentiment to people like Morgan Freeman who would rather that instead of racial pride be a thing, people just learn to appreciate that stuff regardless of who they, how they look are and where they come from.

[@thefearmakerlive]

Yeah, in the 60s and 70s, when they were creating black heroes, they had to unceremoniously have Black in their names. From Black Panther, to Black Lightning, to Black Goliath (Bill Foster who was played by Laurence Fishburne in the Ant-man and Wasp movie). Though Black Goliath was eventually changed to Goliath. The Falcon, who was a sidekick but did have his name on the Captain America book, and Power Man, who eventually just started going by his name, Luke Cage, were fortunate to avoid that trend.

[@devildham]

[@SinkfieldHoops]

the point of the kid scene: a black director, is still just, a director. a black CEO, is still just, a CEO. a black president, is still just, a president. a black kid, is still just, a kid. and probably what they foreshadowed is with race being an issue of the mantle of CA: a black captain america, is still just, a captain america. he may not be 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙚 captain america but he holds the title and mantle

It’s a jab at multiple black comic heroes across both dc and marvel having the “black” prefix in their names to tell people they were literally black characters, a trope that stopped during late 90s, characters like Black Goliath were then referred to as Goliath, for example

[@sjw4life546]

I find it interesting when people say they don't want to see "too much racism" on their screens. That is never applied to any other issue. Nobody said oh WandaVision is too much grief. The punisher was lauded for being a show about soldier PTSD. The only type trauma that people don't want to see is racial trauma

[@smileitsbisma]

I fully agree I found it weird when he said this but I feel what he means is he doesn’t want the show to just focus on that alone which I understand but like you said they never apply it to other issues and therefore can be shown on screen too. I think they should actually showcase more of this stuff simply because it’s real.

[@theshibu214]

20:48 jaby ... because STEVE trusted that falcon can be new cap and bucky can change himself and set free of winter soldier effect .. but now falcon dosen't trust himself he gave back steve's sheild so now bucky have thoughts that MAY BE STEVE was wrong about BUCKY ..and he can never change ..even that old super soldier said this to buck that U CAN'T WAKE UP ONE DAY AND CHANGE WHO U R .. so falcon giving up the shield is a set back for BUCKY .. bucky is trying to convience falcon to have it ...while falcon although dislikes new cap he don't want sheild

[@Vexen-A077]

I think what Sam was referring too in my opinion when they had the therapy session when he said to Buck " this is some thing you or Steve will never understand" is that perhaps also sam took into consideration how people wouldn't like the idea of a black captain america. it must've hurt and that's why he did what he did, gave up the shield.

[@Nick-kb2jc]

As a black person, I can tell you that the real world counterpart to the “black falcon” comment is something many of us have dealt with before. It’s something I definitely encountered when I was younger in middle school and high school growing up with many white friends. I was always the “token black guy” and a few people would refer to me as “black Nick”. I thought it was funny at the time and it didn’t really bother me but it definitely would now. Comments like that are actually really common among young kids these days, hence the reason they probably had a young boy make the comment in the show.

[@TerrellMcDuffie]

I agree with your statement & sentiment fully. I was upset that this guy said they should of left that out, I'm not usually one to say you have to be black to understand our plight, but in this case that's exactly the point. At least she kind of got the point.

[@ScarletW82]

How was the other Nick referred as?

[@valentinfranco6396]

We had a white boy Nick and a white boy Dave… predominantly Hispanic area. nothing but love for them though. They were definitely one of us. The white boy before their name was mainly a blood in blood out reference… and we showed us, and our culture nothing but love. They would fight anyone who put down our culture, and on our Hispanic celebration days they represented hard with the flag. No one showed them any animosity for it because we knew they did it out of love. Context is important. It wasn’t a mockery or an appropriations on their part (which I know a lot of times it is). When it came to them, despite not being Hispanic (mostly Mexicans in that area [SW Detroit] but Puerto Ricans and various others as well), everyone you this was the culture that they grew up on so it was their culture.

[@Rea3443]

Also, Steve was the only reason why they came together so without him, they're here and there with each other.

[@Anmol.singh.10]

The point and the meaning of that Black Falcon scene was to give a Sarcastic Answer to all those who give racist remarks on the Superheroes. For instance Cap has a Black Sidekick Falcon,Tony has a Black sidekick Rhodey. So they're basically trying to show us Falcon is a very vital character himself and till the end of the show we might end up being a Falcon fan. And not just him Rhodey also. We're going to see his Journey in Armor Wars. So they're trying to show the Stereotype people have for a Black Superhero. Thats why Black Panther has a big meaning. We'll get to see Kamala Khan,Iron heart,Miles Morales,Blade,Moon Knight(Oscar Isaac)

Jaby seems to overthink the whole episode and show but Achara seems to be picking up most of what is going on just fine. Sam loves to troll Bucky and Bucky is just annoyed with him. The show is not flawed, you are just not picking up on every current polictical nuance the show is dishing out! This show is not meant to be an action comedy alone. The show is going to cover trauma, PTSD, black experience in America, family and finances. The show is speaking on a few things that get overlooked or glossed over in everyday life for veterans and people of color. Nothing too preachy though!

The guy who plays the new Captain America is Wyatt Russell, son of Kurt Russel and Goldie Hawn, and you can see the Kurt Russel in him. Also, he is great in Overlord, in case you haven't seen that. He also plays a great part in one Black Mirror episode. Also, the actress with the red hair, she was in Solo.

[@jab1073]

I think a prime example in the real world to the black Falcon moment with the kid is in sports. When people talk about quarterbacks like Brady, Brees, or Rodgers it is just quarterback. But when players like Mahomes, Wilson or Jackson are brought up the term black QB is used sometimes as if to differentiate one type of QB fom another.

[@Doomer253]

This! This! Perfect explanation!

[@AmeerahMuhammad]

I think Achara gets this episode MUCH more than Jaby does...also I don’t think there needs to be a “quota” of how many times racism can brought up in a given episode.

[@CinePals]

In my humble opinion, someone's understanding of something should never be based on how much they agree with you. Alternate perspectives is important. I don't take issue with how much racism is highlighted. It's the execution. It was back to back to back. For some, they might say, "Well that's how it feels in real life." Fine, I'll grant you that. For me, I could just feel the writing because it was stacked instead of spread out. For some reason, the latter two being back to back was fine for me. When you have all three in a row, I start to notice I'm watching a show and it's got a message rather than it feeling like a story I'm absorbed in.

All of it ties back to IRL.

And my opinion and perspective is that based on your own comments is that you didn’t grasp a lot of what was going on in the spirit of why it was there. Racism isn’t “spread out”. It is STACKED. That’s the entire point. The writers and producers have stated that they will talk about race a lot in this show. Specifically what it means to be black and be a superhero in America.

[@Sykretts]

If you paid any attention while watching any of the Marvel movies that had steve + wilson + bucky in them, you'd know exactly why bucky and falcon hate each other and yet at the same time tolerate each other and also sometimes prefer the comraderies of each other - It's having Steve as their common point. They're both very good buddies of steve, but from different eras, so they both have that "he's the new friend, i'm the old friend" feeling causing the natural tension/hatred between them. Then, there's the losing a common best friend part that causes them to connect on some level as friends. So yeah, it is absolutely not a surprise why falcon and bucky can simultaneously hate and revere each other. Also, achara's clearly got a better read on the situation based on her interpretations of it all. Jaby's just being a very annoying/ignorant contrarian, kind of a let down if i'm being honest. The scene with the kid calling wilson "black falcon" is a direct setup for special treatment given to a hero based on his race/skin color - the very next set of scenes build on that by revealing the black Captain America, who, just like steve was a Captain America (google Isaiah Marvel) , but because of his skin color was treated differently by those around him. It's like the color of the skin mattered more than the role the person played. Also, the reason why falcon, bucky or even walker for that matter didn't pursue the truck any longer was that they knew they were up against something they were not equipped to deal with - a whole band of super soldiers, boosted by the same super-serum that made Steve, Bucky and Isaiah what they are. You need the entire Avengers team to tackle a team of rogue super-soldiers. I don't think this is as hard to compute as you made it out to be in the video. I mean, if you're gonna watch these shows just for the surface level stuff, you might as well not watch them anymore Jaby. You had the same issue with WandaVision with the unwarranted nitpicking.

[@mageeaaron2624]

I understand. I can see Jaby's point of few as well at the same time. I don't believe he's being ignorant, I think he just doesn't understand completely. Remember, they haven't read some of the comics and they only have a little knowledge from the movies and the some internet theories. Plus, I think Jaby is a little use to the old formula of the MCU when some things are more straight forward. However, the MCU is adapting more and changing the formula which confuses some people. However, it's awesome that you picked up on some of these things like I did 💪 But I do understand. I sometimes get a little disappointed when I pick up things and other people don't understand it. However, I have to remember that not everyone can get things right away. Which makes us special. Regardless, despite some disagreements and similarities, I still like watching these two react

If jaby can't understand why bucky and sam have the dynamic they have after watching the Winter Soldier movie, then he was probably sleeping through that movie. I'm only calling out Jaby because I've noticed a trend in his videos since about 6 months or so where he's been overly critical of almost everything he reacts to, almost to the point where you wonder if he's actively making an effort to do so on purpose, to maybe try and come off as a smart person who's asking valid questions, but in reality his comments have the exact opposite effect, where they make him come off as ignorant and as a contrarian.

Part of what Sam is afraid of is that they won't accept him as a black Captain America. Isaiah is a physical representation of that. Listening to his story on how they treated a black Cap (even though it was in the 50s/60s) might have gotten to him and let out in anger. The cops immediately stopping them and wanting to arrest Sam for harassing a white man, elevated the situation more. I see people ask why the cops were there. Black neighborhood in Baltimore... I'm thinking they patrol that neighborhood heavily. That's why that second cop car got there so fast. It even took Bucky saying something for them to really look at Sam to see who he was. And the cop apologized to Bucky for arresting him.

I feel like Bucky’s statement that everything is very overwhelming for Walker is going to be key to Walker’s character going forward. I think his desire and ego to be *awesome* is going to lead to his downfall into a straight up antagonist. Lots of people have been commenting on how he was doing cool stuff and trying so hard and putting out an olive branch to Bucky and Sam...but Steve didn’t try to be Captain America. Steve just volunteered to serve in the military- Captain America happened incidentally later, and he never really wanted that. And he couldn’t do the cool stuff, he wasn’t the star, before he was made into a super soldier. In fact, the doctor who gave him that specifically *rejected* the John Walker of the group of potentials. This guy wants to be a hero, he wants to be “Captain America,” the personality. And Cap never, never would have hacked into a colleague’s tech to spy on him and follow him. That shit was what he got mad at Black Widow for doing. In short- this whole episode didn’t show me the good parts of Walker, it showed me exactly why this is going to go to his head in a way that’s going to turn him bad.

The real-world counterpart to the "Black Falcon" conversation: Comics used to tag something onto a some character names as either a reference to their skin color or ethnicity.

I agree with Achara. The black falcon thing is not as little as people thing. Most of us see people by the color of their skin first before everything. Why can it just be a guy instead of a black guy or white guy or asian guy? Why the separation? But because we do this too often and it becomes the norm and nobody care about it anymore. But these things can really shift your assumption of a person dramatically. Like how as soon as we see a white guy, a bunch of stereotypes about white guy will pop up in our head.

[@gaurishtembhe9440]

US Agent is not a bad guy. He is just a Perfect Soldier and Huge Patriotic. And abt tone shift in between is because both of them don't want to talk abt real issues by cracking some jokes but end they end can't hide from it.

[@screenwriter7094]

Calling Falcon Black Falcon, was a way for his community to both embrace and claim him. It's a point that the story is making that there aren't a lot of Black heroes. Case and point, there was a black Super Soldier long before Steve yet no one knew about him. Want real world context? Look up the Tuskegee Airmen and the Tuskegee Experiment. That said, what show were you watching? It seems that she "gets it". Obviously you don't...

[@neginnasiri3198]

Hey so here is my thought on saying that some parts they felt like buddies bickering at each-other but other parts like therapy session there was real animosity between them: I think while they are not besties, they definitely have respect for each other and care about another, BUT they really don’t see eye to eye on the shield issue. Confrontation is always hard and definitely brings up real tensions, especially when it’s about important issues. Imagine yourself getting into fight with your wife about actual important matters, in those situations you can feel real tension and be really pissed of regardless of status of the relationship. This is the same, they put that issue on the back burner while they were on the mission and they were in their neutral state of almost-friends. But in the therapy, it started out as bickering but then the real confrontation happened and that changed the tone. Sam already feels somewhat of a regret about the whole situation and having Bucky so openly blame him and calling him out like that definitely stroke a cord. I don’t believe when he said “never see each other again” he truly meant it but I believe he was PISSED. If you remember, in the last episode Bucky’s therapist saw that Sam was trying to reach out to Bucky, so he obviously does like Bucky to wanna keep in touch. Also, when Sam refused Walker to work with him, he didn’t put it in an angry manner, but you could say he MEANT it. But with Bucky, it was a lot more from the anger of that moment and that confrontation, purposefully wanting to be hurtful about it because he felt awful himself.

[@torinojohnson4218]

[@wutdadeal3]

To help you understand the jabs, comedy and animosity...think of Eddie Murphy's and Nick Nolte's movie "48 Hours (1982)". It's the same thing.

[@el_guapo1318]

When they let the truck go, 1. they were probably already sore from getting hit repeatedly by multiple super soldiers, and then the two of them (because of how Sam saved Bucky) hit the ground at a really high speed, which in turn means they hit the ground with a whole lot of force, making their soreness worse. So they were at that point at least temporarily worn out to the point that they were no able to go after the trucks. At the same time, now knowing they have to deal with super soldiers, they more than likely decided not to follow in order to stop and plan out appropriate countermeasures against them.
