The Falcon and the Winter Soldier — Marvel Studios' second TV series that ended its run Friday — was a high-octane offering that became too predictable at times. From the moment Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) handed over his Captain America shield to Sam Wilson/ Falcon (Anthony Mackie) at the end of Avengers: Endgame, it's been clear where the Marvel Cinematic Universe was headed.
