THE FANDOM ZONE 215: "One World, One People" Is Up!

 
"You just don't understand."
"I'm a Black man carrying the stars and stripes -- What don't I understand?  Every time I pick this thing up, I know there are millions of people out there who are gonna hate me for it.  Even now, here, I feel it.  The stares, the judgment.  And there's nothing I can do to change it. Yet, I'm still here.  No super serum, no blond hair, or blue eyes.  The only power I have is that I believe we can do better."
-- GRC Official and Captain America, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: "One World, One People"

Hello again, everyone!  It's time for another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast!  This time, my co-host DJ Nik and I discuss "One World, One People", the final episode of the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, featuring Anthony Mackie as Captain America/Sam Wilson, Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier/James "Bucky" Barnes, Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent/John Walker, and Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I talk about things like not having any new Marvel Cinematic Universe shows to talk about for the next month, my recording with a 99.7-degree fever after my second COVID vaccine shot, wanting everyone to keep our close friend Jesse Jackson in your thoughts, hoping that director Kari Skogland becomes the director of the fourth Captain America movie, wondering why some people think a superhero called Captain America wouldn't have any politics associated with him, people having a problem with "wokeness" needing to look at why they're so upset about it, the finale leaving some things hanging for future MCU projects, how Sam Wilson became Captain America in the comics, how John Walker became U.S. Agent in the comics, Shuri designing Sam's Captain America uniform, the closing title card reading "Captain America and the Winter Soldier", Sam not taking the super-soldier serum to become Captain America, Sam being aware that the world is already scrutinizing him as the new Captain America, Nik spoiling Batman: Arkham City, Bucky finally telling Yori that he murdered Yori's son as the Winter Soldier, Sam taking Isaiah and Eli to see a statue of Isaiah in the Smithsonian, Karli surprising the other Flag-Smashers that she's cool with killing hostages, Karli's passion for her cause overriding her high intelligence, the P.O.D. song "Boom", waiting for Baron Zemo to start dancing in his Raft cell, Sharon being revealed as the Power Broker, Sharon phoning up her Power Broker cronies right outside of the building where she gets her pardon and job with the CIA, why Baron Zemo and the U.S. Agent won't be working together, wondering if the upcoming Secret Invasion TV series will help set up the Dark Avengers, John Walker's surprise redemption moment, the U.S. Agent being a very shades-of-gray character, our favorite quotes of the episode, Doom Patrol casting the Sisterhood of Dada and the Dead Boy Detectives, new Fandom Zone Fanmail from Holly Mac, Dave Proctor and Rey, our plans to discuss the upcoming Netflix superhero series Jupiter's Legacy, and more!
