6 Thoughts on Captain America: Brave New World (Review)
Our year of new Marvel content has begun, with Captain America: Brave New World kicking off an entire 2025 of new movies and shows. I’m super excited! I remain a diehard Marvel fan, and there’s very little that’s going to knock me from my perch. Judge me if you will, but I really enjoyed this fourth Captain America film.
Movie Rating: 6/10 – Pretty Good
Falcon and the Winter Soldier is probably my second favorite of the Marvel Studios TV shows. I thought it was an awesome show, with great themes, characters and more. Exploring African American history through the lens of Captain America was a great idea, and I think that show pulled it off nicely. So I was very much looking forward to Sam Wilson getting his own Cap movie. And while I know a lot of people are sour on this movie for some reason, I had a blast.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the movie. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

They missed the Fourth of July by one week!
Anyway, I had no idea this “teaser” trailer was coming out today, but I’m glad for it! I remain a Marvel diehard, and have full faith in Captain America: Brave New World. I loved The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and I’m excited to see what happens next.
This trailer was awesome! It’s so well put together, and I love a trailer like that. We’ve got all the building blocks for this opening mystery, we’ve got some good stuff between Sam Wilson and the president. Then the action picks up. And the trailer doesn’t shy away from comparing Sam to Steve Rogers. That’s a plus and will hopefully help people get on board. And having Harrison Ford in your movie trailer can’t hurt.
Also, Red Hulk confirmed! Though if they were going to reveal him in this trailer, I think they could have done a better job than that glimpse.
Captain America: Brave New World comes out on Feb. 14!

6 Thoughts on the (First?) Season of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier
Six weeks of action and excitement have come and gone and I declare that the first season of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was awesome! I loved the whole darn thing, from beginning to end. A lot of chatter online has this show as flawed, but I disagree entirely. I had fun the whole way through and loved pretty much every minute of it.
TV Rating: 9/10 – Great.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was everything I wanted and more. Going into the series, I expected an action show on par with the action-heavy Marvel movies, and we got that. I expected some fun banter/butting heads between Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes. We got that. Then the show took things even further with some truly memorable side characters and a deeper exploration of race than I would have ever predicted. I thought that part was great as well!
What can I say? I love me some Marvel Cinematic Universe content!

See what I did there? I hope so, because I’m rather proud of that pun. Either way, filming is under way for Captain America 3: Civil War, and photographic sleuths have captured the first images of Falcon and Crossbones in costume — and they look pretty great!
Falcon is sporting his full costume from the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron. I like it! Falcon has had some pretty bad costumes in his comic book career, so I’m excited for this more realistic, mechanical looking suit. I’m also grateful that they did mix in some red and white.
Sadly, no Redwing…yet
Actor Anthony Mackie has been great as Sam Wilson, so I’m excited to see him return for the threequel.
Actor Frank Grillo also looks pretty intense as supervillain Crossbones, a carry over from Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Remember the semi-friendly SHIELD agent who turned out to be a bad guy, Brock Rumlow? He’s back as Crossbones in the new movie.
Though I’m a little disappointed in how suited up he is. Crossbones, especially recently, usually wears standard military-esque gear with just a skull mask. This costume is full-on super-villain.
Super-villain style
And check out those gauntlets on his hands! Probably meant for punching the super soldier Captain America.
Civil War is going to be an exciting film! Too bad we have to wait a whole year! It’s a good thing we have Ant-Man to tide us over.
