THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER Social Media Reactions Promise A Solid Start And Heaps Of Action

The embargo has lifted on social media reactions for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier ahead of its premiere next week, but what are critics saying about the second Marvel Studios series to hit Disney+?

There's just one week to go until The Falcon and The Winter Soldier hits Disney+, and Marvel Studios has lifted the embargo for social media reactions. Now, we know to take these with a pinch of salt based on past experience, but we have a wide selection of opinions here, and the consensus is definitely a positive one.

While WandaVision proved to be a little divisive after not paying off some big fan theories, it was a hit for the studio and streaming service, so all eyes are now on this show to live up to its predecessor. With only one episode shared with critics, it's hard to get too much of a read on what to expect, but it sounds like a solid opener with some great action. 

Most important for many fans, however, will be the fact that The Falcon and The Winter Soldier's premiere appears to be bringing back memories of Captain America: The Winter Soldier

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier stars Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, a.k.a. The Falcon, and Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, a.k.a. The Winter Soldier. The pair, who came together in the final moments of Avengers: Endgame, team up on a global adventure that tests their abilities...and their patience.

Directed by Kari Skogland with Malcolm Spellman serving as head writer, the series also stars Daniel Brühl as Zemo, Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter, and Wyatt Russell as John Walker.

Check out the first wave of reactions - including ours - below:

Thanks, I'll wait.

@Reeds2Much - yeah. So many of the early viewers are just people who wanted to say they saw something early. Not only that but as long as you've got a decent pace, the first episode of an action series is really hard to make it not enjoyable.

@Origame - it's also all comic industry folks that get the sneak peek and they will eat up anything with superheroes in it, regardless of quality

@nibs - yeah pretty much. I got in to see batman begins early, and that was as a 14 year old. So it's really not a requirement to know what you're doing.

“A slow burn” “character study”

“Heaps of action”

Hyped for this way more than I was WandaVision.

Hopefully lots of time for Daniel Brühl & Emily VanCamp to shine over the 6 episodes as well as our leads.

Cameo & opening sound promising & intriguing.

"slow burn" "spawn big fan theories"






Maybe we can finally get Mephisto

I guess none of these shows will actually be 6 hours long after all

Not that I have an issue with that. Quality first.

@WakandanQueen - Covid kinda screwed WandaVision’s plans, I do wonder if they had any issues with episode plans because of it too.

Ah shit, here we go again.

@PsychoBatemen - It's not really a surprise...

@KingPatel - Judging by your answer they’re probably alluding to Zemo or Walker?
RohanPatel
RohanPatel - 3/12/2021, 12:17 PM
@TexasAvenger - Is everyone quoting Mike Ryan's tweet? Idk why he phrased it like that, but if he's talking about what I think he's talking about then it's not an unexpected appearance at all. We've known about it for well over a year.

There is another actual cameo in the premiere though, a really good one. Won't spoil it though.

RohanPatel - 3/12/2021, 12:25 PM
@TexasAvenger - There is one fight scene that is so [frick]ing cool, wish I could say more, but easily the highlight of the premiere.

It's either Mephisto or Reed Richards for sure
