The intimate lives of superheroes when the masks are removed and the high-tech gear is taken off is just as important as the extensive CGI fight sequences. It’s a big part of what makes comic books fun week after week, month after month. How do the Avengers get paid? What do they do on their time off? Do they go on dates with non-Avengers? Do they pick up part-time jobs when the world doesn’t need saving? How do the Avengers live when there’s nothing to avenge? The Falcon and the Winter Soldier shines best when it’s putting forth questions people have kicked around in the back of their minds or in conversations with friends for more than a decade. Even if Sam disappeared for five years (hence, no recent income), that just makes him like half the world’s population who also disappeared. Confused, said banker repeatedly asks how Sam earned an income when he was part of the world’s most famous superhero group (“did Stark pay you when he was around?”) and how he could possibly be so broke all things considered. In between pitiful requests for selfies from an Avenger-fanboy banker, the duo are consistently told they don’t have enough income for the bank to issue a loan.
In one instance, Sam is trying to help his sister in Louisiana get a loan for the houseboat they grew up in but is now getting too expensive to keep up. Both are trying to acclimatize to their new lives, dealing with stuff they didn’t have to when the world was on the brink of extinction. Bucky Barnes (Winter Soldier) is undergoing therapy, living as a normal civilian in New York City for the first time since before he left to fight in World War II. Sam Wilson (Falcon) has rejoined the Air Force and is trying to stop terrorists from gaining power. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which debuts today, is a perfect example.Īt the outset of the show, Captain America is gone, and his two best friends are navigating a world without him.

The next big thing is around the corner - it always is - but for now, Marvel Studios is using its new television universe on Disney Plus to take a step back and let its heroes decompress as they try to figure out their place in a strange, new world.

New regulations are being drawn up in government, banks are trying to figure out how to help people with finances after five years of being away, but superheroes are stuck in a moment of suspension. The world is trying to move on from the last five years. Millions of people are back on Earth after being snapped from existence. He’s no longer a threat (in this universe, anyway). There were some hiccups along the way - Ultron nearly destroyed the world, countless other villains like Loki, Red Skull, and all of Hydra tried to kill the Avengers a few times - but everything boiled down to Thanos. The Marvel Cinematic Universe spent 11 years building up to its climactic battle between Earth’s mightiest heroes (and a couple of pals from space) and the Mad Titan, Thanos.
Now, Bucky Barnes is faced with a new reality he doesn’t know how to navigate - what happens after the knuckles are bandaged and the bad guy is dead?
For the vast majority of Bucky Barnes’ 106 years on Earth, his life has consisted of running from fight to fight without a second to sit down and simply exist.
