    I’d feel bad for Anthony Mackie that he’s inherited an almost thankless task, I say almost, because except for the millions he’s making playing a character in major motion pictures should calm his furrowed brow considerably

      For real, I think he could rise to the task if given a better character arc. He has moments of gold when the screenwriters let it happen but I think they probably wrote his character into a hole. End of falcon and the winter soldier involves him giving a speech during his final battle? Who wants that? Define the character with actions, not words, people! I think the Marvel team has a huge uphill battle because almost every new character has the same issues.

        Yeah, if anything “Falcon and the Winter Soldier” just cemented this movie as mediocre at best. Every other character in that show was more interesting than Flacon. And obviously it’s not his fault, the writing just isn’t building falcon as the next Captain America.
