Falcon & The Winter Soldier: 10 Biggest Takeaways From Episode Two

For years, everyone was led to believe that Steve Rogers was America's one and only successful super soldier experiment. Dr. Erskine was killed mere minutes after Steve's transformation, with there seemingly being no way to replicate his successful formula. Even Bruce Banner, one of the smartest men on the planet couldn't figure out how to do it properly.

However, episode two of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier saw Bucky introduce Sam Wilson to Isaiah Bradley, another super soldier who was sent to take down the Winter Soldier in 1951.

Isaiah tangled with Bucky way back when, and even took part of his metal arm, but when he returned, his reward for serving his country was 30 years in prison and even further experimentation.

Sam was rightly and understandably outraged by the cover up of America's first Black superhero, and the government's entire attitude towards, and treatment of Isaiah. This however, goes far deeper than Isaiah on an individual level, as immediately proven by the Baltimore police officers' treatment of Sam just moments later. This is an incredibly important aspect of both the series, and Sam's character, and will likely fuel him towards rethinking his stance on becoming Captain America.
