the falcon and the winter soldier episode 5 has just released on disney plus and i've had
a chance to watch the episode which includes the potential reveal of a new captain america a cameo
and more to break down in particular i'm going to be explaining the plot and ending for episode 5
of the new marvel show entitled truth in the aim to help you guys gather a greater sense of what
happened this analysis will also contain spoilers so if you do happen to be someone who hasn't

then don't forget to subscribe to the channel and turn on your notifications also if you
enjoy this video remember to give it a like rating but without further ado
let's dive into my breakdown and explained video for episode 5 of the falcon and the winter soldier
so who is the cameo that was rumored to be in this latest episode well episode 5 finally answers that
question for us because it turns out the cameo is none other than julia louis dreyfus introducing
another comedy actress into the marvel cinematic universe portraying a spy from the comics called
valentina it seems like the actress may have a greater role to play in the mcu with her
character attempting to recruit john walker like a sort of evil nick fury assembling the avengers
it's hard not to think of how dc was setting up an injustice league with lex luthor and it's no
surprise that they seem to be borrowing ideas especially after civil war and batman v superman
alongside the plot outlines for more justice league films in comparison to the time travel
in the last avengers film still for now her role remains a bit of a mystery just like walker's own
future because this was not a great week for the new cap after his violent murder the end
of the last episode walker is taken to task by sam and bucky with the duo forced to take him
down and take back the captain america shield in a drawn-out battle that's sure to get fans
excited with a lot of action walker shouts things like why are you making me do this with bucky
getting knocked out and sam's wings torn in the well choreographed battle but in the end sam and
bucky managed to wrestle the shield away breaking walker's arm and ending this new cap's reign
before it could truly begin soon after a quick catch up with sam's sidekick torres who might
possibly become the new falcon in the future if we base things off the comics we see that things
are getting even worse for walker who is stripped of his rank his captain america responsibilities
and eventually discharged for his actions only just escaping a court trial elsewhere sam and
bucky are picking up loose ends and despite his escape last week zemo does decide to go in quietly
when bucky tracks him down stealing one last glance at the memorial to the people of sokovia
before submitting bucky chooses not to kill him and then the wakandans turn up to take zemo back
to the raft the u.s supervillain prison from which he already escaped once it feels like bucky could
have done this himself but i guess it's always nice to see the dora milaje and we learn that
bucky still asks them for a future favor hopefully we will get an answer to this in the final episode
sam meanwhile heads back to azia bradley to find out the truth about the black super soldier anyone
who's read the classic comic book story line called truth which is the title of this episode
might know most of it but the headlines from this version are the azire and some other soldiers were
injected with different versions of the recreated super soldier serum lost in world war ii when
hydro blew it up and told it was a different vaccination following this azia and his less
stable fellow test subjects were treated as less than human sent into battle and almost murdered
to prevent the truth about the experiments getting out when azia tried to stop this he
was thrown in jail for 30 years experimented on and dead to the world while his wife lived
had a child and died without him those stars and stripes don't mean nothing good to me as i tell
sam when he tries to show him the shield and it's not hard to see his point when he tells the falcon
that no self-respecting black man would take on the captain america mantle the whole discussion
gives sam a lot to think about but fixing up his family's fishing boats gives him some distraction
especially when bucky turns up to help out in one of the few montages in this episode in between
flirting sessions with sam's sister and lots of boat fixing bucky eventually apologises for his
anger towards sam before having blamed him for giving up the shield and enabling walker's time
as captain america the legacy of that shield is complicated to say the least sam says while bucky
acknowledges that he and steve hadn't really considered the implications of what sam would
feel taking on the captain america mantle sam tells bucky that he needs to start moving forward
and properly making amends anyway bucky heads off at this point ready to answer sam's call when he
needs him and sam in turn decides it's about time for a training montage learning to use the shield
before cracking open a case bucky brought him from the wakundens that presumably carries his
new wings and we can imagine that they have a rather patriotic look it could also be a
wakandan captain america costume but we'll have to see what it looks like come the final episode
wrapping up this video episode 5 almost feels like a finale in itself tying up loose ends like zemo
and offering some satisfying emotional closure for the characters but there are still a few story
points to finish up next week walker realising he hasn't truly avenged his friend's death
decides to head after carly again fashioning a new shield himself in the series first post-credits
scene sharon also pops up briefly to hire a shady character while carly herself decides to attack
the global committee's all-important vote that will send refugees back to their home countries
from before the blip joining her is petroc last seen being beaten up by sam in the series premiere
and is now out for revenge and while some of carly's uninteresting army have their misgivings
about aligning themselves with criminals enough of them join to set up a fight in next week's finale
but that was my brief breakdown video explaining the plot and ending for episode 5 of the falcon
and the winter soldier overall episode 5 is certainly the best of the falcon and the winter
soldier so far getting to the heart of what the series is about with the mantle of captain america
the struggles of its main characters and actually moving the plotline forward
it offers a glimpse of what this series which has disappointed me for the most part could have
been and as we return to the muddled flag smasher storyline for the finale i have to be honest i'm
far less interested in how that plays out compared to this week's storyline still i will be watching
eager to find out the answers to certain questions such as whether sharon really is the power broker
and how they tackle falcon's new suit playing into the new captain america plotline
i'm giving episode 5 of the falcon and the winter soldier and 8.25 out of 10. i hope you guys
