Fans needn't look further than OG Captain America (portrayed by Chris Evans) himself in 2012's The Avengers for a good example of that common MCU misstep. ![]() it doesn't quite settle into the mood of the series.īecause a direct comic to screen reference isn't always the best direction. But Sam/Captain America's ears sticking out (how fast can he fly with that upgraded wing set? Fast enough a bug might whip through his cartilage?), the snowboarder red goggles, the bright white when he and Bucky have been sneaking into situations all season, the Crest toothpaste color scheme. The look is perfect for meet and greets, press photos, to illicit the exact reaction from the public it received in real life on social media. It just sticks out dramatically in a series that has remained grounded despite the source material. It’s not absurd as Wanda’s Halloween costume in WandaVision, which was a direct reference to The Scarlet Witch’s look in the comics. It’s not watered down to dull like the black jumpsuits of 2000’s X-Men. Elizabeth Olsen aka Wanda was heavily involved in the costume design for the look of the Scarlet Witch (though her original look of corset and trench coat is loosely defined as a costume in the finale of WandaVision for that very reason). ![]() MCU properties go through a sort of “puberty” in costuming with the first generation costume evolving and developing with the real-life actor. But as illustration accurate as the costume is, there’s still something that feels just a little off, as is common with the evolution of costuming in the MCU. From the color scheme to the lines and the belt, it’s as though Sam flew right off the page and into Marvel Studios.

In the finale of The Falcon and the Winter Solider, streaming on Disney+, audiences were treated to the new highly anticipated Captain America suit, and it was worth the wait. And finally after seven years, a comic debut, a civil war, a dust-up, a temp megalomaniac Cap, and a Winter Soldier team-up, Sam Wilson is Captain America. Since 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, diehards and casual viewers have been anxiously awaiting Sam Wilson aka The Falcon to take over Cap's shield as the MCU inched his succession along. ![]() And yet, the suit translated from page to screen falls into The Avengers problem of costumes. More than reminiscent, the costume is considered a perfect adaption from the comics, possibly the first to be so close to the original comic material. On April 23rd's The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’s first season finale, Sam Wilson aka The Falcon, flew into the first five minutes sporting the long-anticipated suit of the new Captain America.
