Edit: Overall this movie was good and it's not a flop, it's the second highest grossing movie of the year so far. It's getting a lot of unfair criticizim because of :mjpls: IMO.

If I have to nit pic, This movie played it safe in every way. Sam was watered down as a hero to make white people feel safe; [no edge no love interest.] End result is a hero that No one finds compelling.

All the anti fascism themes from the first Captain America movies are gone. [Hydra hero registration act]

They don't tell Isaiah Bradley's backstory so You don't get a sense of why it's important for Sam to get him out of prison; the movie lacks stakes.

Japan as the political adversary? Lol.

They told Isaiah's Backstory in the show leading into this movie. I would rather them not rehash it all over again for the movie.

But i agree with your other points.

Not everyone saw Falcon Winter Soldier.

I think they should have shown it rather than explaining it through exposition. A WW2 flash back of Isaiah and some black soldiers could have had more impact and given this movie some historic substance.

Curious that they haven't even thought about working on a sequel to Shang Chi. Movie came out 4 years ago. Realistically they would at least be filming by now. Probably not seeing him again until 2028
They put the director on Spider-Man 4. So yeah Shang Chi isn't coming out for a while

*3rd (two Chinese films have grossed more). Anyway, the year just started, so this isn't saying much, lol. It also released when no other major blockbuster films were in theaters.

BNW is definitely going to drop down in the box office standings as the year progresses.

Yeah, I've talked about this before; Marvel have completely dropped the ball when it comes to Shang-Chi. He should've had a cameo in one of their Phase 5 films.

it still has not broken even.

this is what a full year looks like. which puts falcon as a flop (given its budget) around no. 17.

"(film) The two periods of the year, often described as January and February and mid-August through September, when new movie releases are either poor-quality, cheaply made, or intended for niche audiences, since low movie attendance limits the potential box office return."
