The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – Season 1, Episode 2
Pieces are starting to come together with The Star Spangled Man, the second episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. What kind of man is John Walker, the new Captain America? What are the Flag Smashers trying to accomplish? And how many new characters are straight from the comics? Let’s dive in and answer these questions!

Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)
The same way that Guardians of the Galaxy followed up the more somber and serious Captain America: The Winter Soldier, we needed something lighter after Avengers: Infinity War. Well, I certainly needed it the first time I saw this in theaters. Remember theaters? Those were the days… Anyway, MCU March continues with Ant-Man and the Wasp, which I definitely rewatched before Captain Marvel because I’m not an idiot and forgot that I have a list of all the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies in order, and that Disney+ also has them in order (more or less). Yup, definitely didn’t do that…

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
I think I can safely say that this is the biggest cinematic crossover ever. What even comes close? The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? The Monster Squad? Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Okay, that last one is a strong contender, but I digress. After 10 years of setting up characters and stories in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it all comes together with Avengers: Infinity War. We’re in the endgame of MCU March, so heads up: a LOT happens so the review section is going to be a bit long.

Black Panther (2018)
Black Panther was a game changer. Sure, it’s a piece of the greater tapestry that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it barely feels like it. And that’s not a bad thing! It broke free, so to speak, from the standard hero template and became its own thing. Which, as it turns out, was widely successful as it’s the top grossing movie in the MCU that doesn’t have “Avengers” in the title (as of writing). Why was it so successful? Let’s dive in with this entry of MCU March and find out.

Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
I’m kicking off this entry in MCU March with an addendum. In the Ant-Man post, I said that movie was my favorite of the “overtly comedic Marvel movies.” Clearly I had forgotten about Thor: Ragnarok and how great this movie is when I wrote that. I think it’s safe to say that this is my favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe film (and I double checked the list so I won’t have to make this addendum again). I guess after rewatching all these movies, I have a soft spot for the God of Thunder.
