STEVE ROGERS MAY have retired, but the Dream never dies, not with Captain America there to defend it. After spending the entirety of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier coming to terms with the legacy, Sam has accepted the shield and dons the red, white, and blue for his first movie, Captain America: Brave New World.

This goes hand in hand with the piecemeal plot of Captain America: Brave New World. The seams are clearly visible and the story flow between the major action sequences choppy. This is most apparent in how randomly various characters dip in and out of the narrative as needed.
