Oh they turned it into a movie? I missed that that happened
- For some reason I thought it got turned back into a show after it got turned into a movie.
  
  Now it’s a novella and a series of YouTube shorts.
  
  I thought it was cancelled at this point? Crazy
Wish they had made these snap decisions in the beginning. Falcon and the Winter Soldier should have been a movie and Black Widow should have been a series.
- I don't get the Falcon & The Winter Soldier hate, honestly. It was one of my favorite MCU Disney+ series.
  
  I don’t think it was hate, just that it had obvious problems. The plot had to be gutted because it was about a global pandemic right as COVID-19 struck. They reshot stuff and reused what they could and that made the pacing and story very uneven.
  
  I liked it in general, but what was left after the rewrite would have been much better condensed into a TV movie.
  
  That and the speech at the end was weirdly out of place. The producers admitted they wrote it in one night over the phone and shoehorned it in at the last second …and it shows.
this is what iron man two and three should have been about and they should have had an avengers where rhodes was iron man because stark was on his bender.
Wanted to turn it into IOF propaganda?
