As many of you may have heard, Marvel came out with a new show recently, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, and it’s GOOD. Now I am a huge Marvel fan so I may have a tiny bit of a bias but when I say it’s good, I mean it. Not only is the cast diverse and the acting amazing, the chemistry that the two main characters have is just phenomenal. I noticed while watching the show that the writers bring up a lot of important things and injustices that are relevant even to this day. For this specifically, I want to focus on a scene in Episode 2 of the show called “The Star-Spangled Man.” In this scene, the two main characters, Bucky, a white man, and Sam, a black man, who are both considered superhero’s now, visit a black man in what seems to be a predominantly black neighborhood. They talk to this man and there ends up being an altercation between them. Sam, more-so than Bucky, leave the house emotional and upset which leads them to having a serious conversation on the street. Voices were raised a bit but there was no violence what-so-ever. All the sudden, a cop car pulls up and asks if there is a problem, then proceeds to ask for only Sam’s ID which he does not have on him at the moment. They tell him to calm down and Bucky steps in to remind them of who Sam is, the Falcon. The cops then realize this, apologize profusely and then eventually leave. This scene is so important because it shows the injustice the black community faces when it comes to the law or cops. Those cops were against/threatened by Sam before even having a conversation with him. The fact Bucky had to tell them he was a superhero in order to be treated correctly blew my mind. Having big companies like Marvel point out these flaws in our system is such a good way to show support and bring awareness to these things. This problem the black community faces with cops and being treated equally with the law is something that needs to be pointed out and talked about, Marvel did this in a very good way that I think a lot of people will appreciate.
