At the risk of comparing two somewhat different stories, “WandaVision” used his time to delve into two characters reduced to supporting roles in the Avengers films. "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" almost seems to be doing the opposite, spreading his narrative instead of sinking further into the psyche of Sam Wilson or James Buchanan Barnes, which is a shame when there is so much for me. Although it is the dominant subplot, it would be nice to see more of Sam's thought process in relation to his abandoned Captain America mantle. Yes, there are racial motivations for choosing him and - as he made it clear to Bucky in Episode 2 - he doesn't need to explain himself further. But it seems that there is more going on. Is Sam afraid to follow in Steve's footsteps? Is he afraid of failure? Does he yearn for a more normal life on his family's boat?
The same goes for Bucky and his list of repairs. It can be argued that there is a fully formed show "My Name Is Earl" based exclusively on Bucky and his list, with each episode revolving around a name, crossing it out and throwing away part of The Winter Soldier's luggage.
And speaking of pre-existing programs, "Power Broker" almost seemed like an exercise in prestigious action and dramatic tributes, featuring scenarios that would not seem out of place in "Prison Break", "24", "Westworld", or any of the films "John Wick" (specifically the "excommunicated" bounty call of "John Wick 2"). The episode begins with a fake commercial for the aforementioned Global Repatriation Council before moving on to New Captain America (such as New Coke) and Battlestar appearing a few days late for the Flag Knights' last known location. The deal that followed in the hideout highlights the most striking differences between John Walker and Steve Rogers, with Walker worrying about the devil, needing a translator (remembering that Cap understood and responded to Batroc The Leaper in French in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier ”) and finally being spit on by enemies who neither fear nor respect him.
The rest of the episode follows our good titular policeman and policeman armed with vibranium on a worldwide mission that sees them help Baron Helmut Zemo (played with ease by Daniel Brühl) to escape from his German prison and head to Madripoor, a fictional city in the Southeast Asia, defined predominantly in the comics as a place for the very rich and the very poor, a point that was driven by the two neighborhoods: Lowtown, where the trio began to "climb a ladder of poor people" on their march to the serum of the super soldier and Hightown, where Sharon Carter, apparently doing very well as an enemy of the state, lives in a luxurious (and massive) apartment in a stolen art gallery that has become a dance club. There is also a Flag Smashers C conspiracy that again seeks to muddy the sympathetic waters for the revolutionary group, showing the good they are trying to do before undermining it in a grotesque and unnecessary display of violence.
If there is a "Power Broker" MVP, it has to be Brühl, playing Zemo with his tongue firmly on his cheek, chewing his scene with an aristocratic presumption hitherto invisible in the MCU. It is telling that Brühl's recent directorial debut is about an egocentric actor on the verge of a big audition for a comic book movie, perhaps allowing him to have more fun with Zemo. And how fun it is! Whether supporting Sam (albeit in a culturally insensitive way) on the unchanging truths of Marvin Gaye's "Trouble Man" soundtrack or having fun pretending to control the Winter Soldier again, Brühl was a joy whenever he stepped on the screen (though perhaps never more than in this brief photo of him dancing). Also, sporting Zemo's iconic mask and not looking ridiculous is a feat in itself. [Honorable mention goes to the similarly returning VanCamp, who plays his best personification of John Wick while dispensing with the endless attack of nameless assassins in the final set piece of the episode.] In short, there is a lot to like in “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”, but sometimes, especially in “Power Broker”, it seems more like a collection of good scenes (even great ones) or scenarios that do not arrive well add up to a all satisfactory. An extensive narrative structure works for venerated programs like "The Wire", where a) expansion is the point (a photo of a city in danger) and b) there is still time (five seasons) to dig a little here and there, but here it may seem, to use a metaphor for the show, like adding a new staircase (or two) to the side of a building instead of climbing a step.
