In this entry, we examine the ending of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier with a breakdown of the series finale (\u201cOne World, One People\u201d) and consider what it means for the Captain America brand. Yes, prepare for SPOILERS.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>The Falcon is no more. Sam Wilson (<strong>Anthony Mackie<\/strong>) is Captain America. <strong><em>The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em><\/strong> finale answers last week\u2019s question of what\u2019s in the big Vibranium box pretty quickly as Sam Wilson crashes into the highjacked Global Repatriation Council conference wearing a new spangly outfit. He cuts a striking figure and will make for one damn fine action figure.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong><em>Captain America<\/em>: <em>The First Avenger<\/em><\/strong>, Steve Rogers was made \u201cCaptain America\u201d for the purposes of selling war bonds and boosting homefront morale. He didn\u2019t like being a sideshow, and when he learned his friends were captured behind enemy lines, he refitted his propaganda suit into battle armor. Steve didn\u2019t ask permission; he got the job done and waited for the Government to catch up to his potential.<\/p>\n<p>Sam does the same thing. Sorta. He claims the mantle as his own. He puts faith in himself and trusts his heart and head to lead him in the right direction. We\u2019ll let him know if he\u2019s right for the job, just like we did with John Walker (<strong>Wyatt Russell<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of whom \u2014 as we saw in the previous episode\u2019s mid-credits sequence, Walker can\u2019t quit the shield even when he doesn\u2019t have it. With Karli Morgenthau (<strong>Erin Kellyman<\/strong>) using her Flag-Smashers to kidnap and ransom the high-ranking GRC members, Walker hammers together a bargain-basement frisbee and goes to war. He also claims the right to wield the shield or <em>a<\/em> shield, and for the most part, our heroes let him do so.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a weird position for them to find themselves. Sam, Bucky (<strong>Sebastian Stan<\/strong>), and Walker fighting back-to-back against the Flag-Smashers, who\u2019ve taken their justifiable rage and shaped it into murderous intent. Is all forgiven with Walker because when the time came to choose between slaughtering Karli and saving a locked caravan of politicos, he chose the rich guys in ties? Ultimately, Bucky seems incredibly chill with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/memory-alpha.fandom.com\/wiki\/Mirror_universe\">the mirror universe<\/a> Steve Rogers.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em> finale can only deal with one threat at a time. While Sam, Bucky, and Walker are chasing Flag-Smasher stragglers, Sharon Carter (<strong>Emily VanCamp<\/strong>) is the first to catch up with Karli. In their exchange, it\u2019s revealed that Agent 13 has truly fallen to the dark side, and in her time since\u00a0<strong><em>Captain America<\/em>: <em>Civil War<\/em><\/strong>, she became the Power Broker. Karli puts a bullet in her gut, but Sharon eventually returns the favor.<\/p>\n<p>Karli\u2019s death is an easy out for Sam and Bucky. Like Killmonger before her, Karli ascends to villainy because she trades lives in her pursuit to better the world. But so do Sam and Bucky. There\u2019s plenty of righteous blood on their hands (they\u2019re oddly cool with Sharon vaporizing a goon\u2019s face when they think she\u2019s on their side), but the Marvel Cinematic Universe score swells around them, whereas it gets rumbly and moody whenever Karli is around. Marvel Studios has the final say.<\/p>\n<p>At the very least, Sam knows he\u2019s not perfect. The real ending of <em>The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em> is not a final Flag-Smasher showdown. It\u2019s Sam dressing down the GRC senator in front of the cameras. He\u2019s going to do what Steve Rogers rarely did. He talks to the people through their televisions.<\/p>\n<p>Sam\u2019s Captain America sees an opportunity in the catastrophe, and it\u2019s similar to what Karli experienced during the Blip. The world united when half the planet vanished, and there is no reason why it shouldn\u2019t remain united now that everyone is back. The common struggle remains. Our sense of helplessness should strengthen our bonds, not weaken them.<\/p>\n<p>As the world watched Walker decapitate \u201ca terrorist\u201d on TV and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, they now watch Sam preach hope in humanity. When he\u2019s told he doesn\u2019t understand, he chuckles. He\u2019s a Black man wearing the stars and s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>es with no Super-Soldier serum, blonde hair, or blue eyes to protect him. Sam explains his real strength to those paying attention: \u201cThe only power I have is that I believe we can do better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The thought goes back to <strong><em>Avengers<\/em>: <em>End<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. Failure cannot be stopped. Humanity will stumble and fall, but like Steve Rogers and now Sam Wilson, they have to get back up again and declare, \u201cI can do this all day.\u201d It\u2019s not about how hard you hit but about how hard you can get hit and keep going.<\/p>\n<p>Sam and Bucky walk away from their Flag-Smasher endeavor feeling good. Sam even goes to Isaiah Bradley (<strong>Carl Lumbly<\/strong>) to get his blessing to become Captain America. Bradley doesn\u2019t quite give it, but he doesn\u2019t reject Sam either. He <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>reciates the statement and looks forward to seeing how Sam will rebuff the hatred coming his way.<\/p>\n<p>Sam tells him that their people built this country with their blood and their labor. As he claims the Captain America mantle, he will also claim the country and fight for it. His final gift to Bradley is to put his name and role as a Super-Soldier in the history books. Sam reveals to Bradley and his grandson that an Isiah Bradley addition now exists as part of the Smithsonian\u2019s Captain America exhibit. It\u2019s a little gesture, but it\u2019s a start.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em> finale tries to leave you feeling warm, but several stingers are left to agitate. One: Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine (<strong>Julia Louis-Dreyfus<\/strong>) is still up to no good, fashioning a new costume and identity for John Walker. He is no longer Captain America, but he can be <strong>U.S. Agent<\/strong>. It\u2019s a black-ops role similar to what the character took in the comics. Walker wants to do better, but he\u2019s still all-too-willing to get his hands messy.<\/p>\n<p>Two: the Contessa and whatever sinister team she\u2019s forming isn\u2019t the only threat on the board. Baron Zemo (<strong>Daniel Br\u00fchl<\/strong>) is still murderously capable from his Raft prison, thanks to his butler. He orchestrates the deaths of the remaining Flag-Smashers, leaving only Bucky and Walker to roam free as Super-Soldiers. Zemo won\u2019t let them doddle for long.<\/p>\n<p>Three: in the final post-credits stinger, Sharon is given her pardon as promised by Sam. Not only that, but she takes back her old position as CIA super-spy. The moment she\u2019s free from eavesdroppers, she gets on the phone with a mysterious individual and starts selling state secrets. Yep, Peggy Carter\u2019s niece has gone full mustache-twirling villain. What would Steve say?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, that\u2019s a good question. We have no idea. <em>The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em> chooses not to answer any inquiries regarding Steve\u2019s whereabouts. He very well could be on the Moon like random New Yorkers seem to think. Or he could be dead, as Sam and Bucky referred to him in the past tense in the previous episode. Or he could be in another time stream, living his best life. <span style=\"font-size: 1.14285rem;\">That\u2019s a problem for another series or film to solve. Or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em>\u2018s ultimate mission of putting Sam Wilson in the suit and giving a little more closure to Bucky\u2019s trauma is complete. It\u2019s not a period on a sentence but more of an ellipse. Sam may never feel comfortable as Captain America. That\u2019s the point. The suit is an excuse to do better and live up to the dream, which may only be a fantasy. And fairy tales keep us going.\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
