Marvel: Intel Reports on The Falcon and The Winter Soldier
Marvel.com is a great resource for watchers of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.

I have been watching Marvel’s Disney+ entries very closely, and although John Walker really peeved me, I am a loyal Friday morning Disney+ watcher.
After Lucasfilm’s The Mandalorian completed its second season, WandaVision really kept my interest through the completion of its run. And now, The Falcon and The Winter Solider is keeping things interesting.
A Little Lost?
However, I will not say that I know exactly what is going on right after the first watch. Far from it, in fact. But now, I realize we have a little more help than I thought.
Marvel.com’s Christine Dinh is typing up Intel Reports after each episode!

New World Order
For example, after Episode 1, she wrote:
We’re clearly now in Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Marvel Studios’ The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, the latest original series airing on Disney+, picks up some time following the events of Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame… Read Where We Left Off primers with each respective hero here and here. Also, don’t miss out on their Marvel Studios: Legends episodes!
In Episode 1, “New World Order,” viewers catch up with Sam and Bucky living very separate lives in Delacroix, Louisiana, and Brooklyn, NY, respectively.
See, doesn’t that help? Especially if it has been a while since your last watch of Avengers: Endgame.
And, never mind the extra content; the simple scene-setting is excellent.
The Star Spangled Man
Then after Episode 2, Dinh added:

Following the reveal that the Department of Defense has named a new Captain America in the premiere episode “New World Order,” Sam Wilson (Falcon) and Bucky Barnes (Winter Soldier) have finally come together in Marvel Studios’ The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
In Episode 2, “The Star Spangled Man,” while Bucky wants to argue about Sam’s decision to give up Cap’s shield, which has now been given to John Walker, the newly appointed Captain America, Sam makes it clear that he’s not in the mood for a reunion—he’s got bigger things to deal with at the moment.
Again, VERY helpful.
However, there’s PLENTY more goodness where those snippets came from. The Intel Reports are multi-scroll thumb killers with so many details you’ll feel very confident going forward with the intelligence.
So, be sure to check out the Intel Report each week on Marvel.com. And watch The Falcon and The Winter Soldier on Disney+.
