The beauty of having a video on The Falcon interupted by a Falcon ad.

"I guess that quote isn't so bad for the time." "This interview is from 2008." loooooooooooooooooooooooooool

Wait, he raised pigeons and the latched on to falcons. What did he feed his new falcon?! Was it the pigeons?!?!?!

Yeah, that first quote came off a little "Noble Savage-esque" as my aunts would say, "Chiiiiile". 🤣😂

Lots of Falcon’s backstory has been circling around the net with the drop of his new series. No surprise Sasha’s is the best & most complete.

We better get a "In Fact we should disband while we have the chance"

"deus ex MODOK" got me. Also, it's so interesting that Falcon didn't even have wings to start out, given that that would become his defining characteristic as a superhero.

I made the Michael Scott classic cringe wince when I heard the "I loved drawing black people" line. Sam wearing green, for his favorite bird, the Emerald Falcon. Man, that look was so 70's... Just thankful he didn't stick with Pigeons.

I had these issues when they first came out, and I dare say Gene Colan's artwork still stands as the most dynamic ever put to paper. This put me right back in time!

The whole wolverine getting coffee thrown on him cracked me up. You said it as such a throw away line but it’s one of those things that’s like WAIT NO PLEASE ELABORATE! lmao

Sasha's comments about no one noticing a character's personality changing after being mind swapped had me snickering in agreement, especially in light of the "Superior" Spider-Man a few years ago.

The way it comes across is 'interesting' that's the best way i can put it. I agree Sam is a nice guy, but i would watch him around birds.

Now I desperately want to see a comic featuring Cap (or the Red Skull) eating a flag & growling like a feral cat....

So I think we need to get Sasha her own Cosmic Cube to show the villains how to use it correctly.

“I do what he does, only slower”. -Sam Wilson on Steve Rogers

It makes me bust my gut when people complain about Marvel promoting gender and race issues today when Stan Lee outright stated his preference for trying to do that since the 60s.

"I love drawing black people" booooy lol, I appreciate the sentiment

"I loved drawing black people" I never knew that could be so funny 🤣

Just like in Civil War, the New Yorkers instantly recognize it about each other within moments of coming into contact.

Sasha's eye makeup in this video is the bomb!!

Yes,it's strange you were more worried about how Steve got away than the Red Cap. I actually got pissed too because the Cap Skull was using the cube wrong, "just give it to me"🤣

He was an older guy with his heart in the right place. Put the words into context and he’s clearly got no malice.

3:35 I loved that comic, the Exiles. It was like the tv show Sliders, but with super powers.

Goes to show that Cap's one weakness is superhero name originality! Given the name Captain America? Check. Suggests The Falcon for a newfound friend who happens to be a falconer? Check. Chance to create a new name after quitting as Captain America and goes by Nomad, because he became nomadic? Check. Chance to make a better name after quitting again as Captain America, but goes with The Captain? Check.

I think it's interesting that Sam's origin is so tied in with Steve, not just in the basically instant establishment of their bromance, but in Steve literally being the one who decides Sam should become a superhero and masterminding his costume and codename. If this came out now, I suspect we'd see some criticism about how that undermines Sam's independence as a character, but at the time I can't help but wonder if Marvel was worried about potential controversy and wanted to in a sense 'legitimize' Sam through his association with Steve. Like if Captain America not only approves of an African-American superhero but is actively making it happen, the readers might be more likely to jump on board too.

Sa-shaaaa, the Red Skull NEVER uses the cosmic cube effectively. He has way too much arrogance/hubris to formulate a coherent plan (re: time he made golden armor for himself)

Speaking of Cap taking art lessons, one day you should do a video of when he moved to Brooklyn and worked as a freelance commercial artist! I loved when they tried to give Steve a normal life, but it didn't last. He even had a Jewish girlfriend (Bernie), and I can't think of any other Jewish gfs or bfs in comics!

The "Cosmic Cube" is way to powerful. I to always thought it was weird how no one tried to do something like "Emperor Joker" like thing with it, at the very least...

Your makeup and outfit aesthetics are ✨ g o d t i e r ✨

Considering that the Cube becomes more aware over time, I'd be too afraid to use it from fear that I'd eventually create a near unstoppable monster if anything goes wrong.

Yay The Falcon comic book talk and shout out to The Exiles. Good stuff. Can you please cover The Exiles comic book in a video?

Definitely looking towards more Falcon. He kind of took over the book for awhile which wasn't necessarily a bad thing, as the stories were pretty good and gave Falcon a pretty decent character development, that awkward retcon not withstanding.

They should’ve kept the Sam Wilson: Bird Enthusiast for the movies/show. Also it seemed like Red Skull just wanted to vacation in Cap’s body rather than do anything villainous

11:20 Cap's legs in these two panels are freaking me the hell out and I truly hope I'm not alone on this.

"Deus Ex Modok" brilliant! you never fail to make me laugh, yours is one of my favorite channels! the problem with reality warping power is the lack of imagination, both on the part of the villain and of the writer, alas. see also: Doctor Doom with power cosmic, doctor Doom with Beyonder's power etc.

I like the fact that Sasha shows how much Red Skull's actions bothered her in this video

Seems like Red Skull is defeated by his own lack of imagination. Armed with a magic wishing cube that can do anything he does stuff like make Cap fall out of a tree, rather than turn him into a bug, and tries to ruin his reputation by... being a bit rude to random people.

Yes please. we definitely need “exiles” please do it!!

If I had the cube, I'm making a giant comic collection room, with every single comic to exist. It would be like a library, but people don't have to return the books because I could just make more of them. Screw it, why not just make people able to get any book they want.

Imagine how greatly more pissed MODOK was when he saw that AIM not only created a cosmic neutralizer but also only used that neutralizer to beat out the Red Skull once and never even tried to revert MODOK back to his human form

All deference to the red and white costume, I liked the green and orange! Very festive and refreshingly not all primary colors. But when he “upgraded” to the red and white, it was like going from a Chevy Impala to a Corvette. Both good, but one was a little more slick and dynamic. Another first: though he was pre-dated by Black Panther, Falc was the first black character (male) to get ther own Mego action figure! The only other (that I recall), was Lt. Uhura from Star Trek. And yes, there was another cube that was way more cosmic! But what I really want to know is whatever happened to Redwing? Also, while talking debuts, when did Robbie Robertson first appear? While not a superhero, he was a quiet uncommon depiction of an educated black man in respected position of prominence. Running a newsroom, calming Jonah’s irrational (undiagnosed?) outbursts, and keeping Peter on the responsible straight and narrow. In any case, so much history! As it happens, tonight I’m viewing the latest version Falcon, & the Winter Soldier. Though equal, look who gets first billing now!

Red Skull with the cosmic cube is the explanation for every confusing Captain America thing. Falcons origins? Red Skull with the cosmic cube. Cap's an agent of H.Y.D.R.A? Red Skull with the cosmic cube. Thanos, of all people has had less interaction with a cube. Ps. I know this is off topic but I ship Thanos Warlock

I remember this kids show I watched as a kid called “The Super Hero Squad” where Falcon was sort of the main character. I think he also had a romance with the Scarlett Witch.

7:41 I had to ask the same thing during "Superior"(inferior) Spider-Man when Ock was controlling Peter's body.

Sasha, oh dear! The "slightly uncomfortable, let's read it together" had me rolling. I love the way you revel in the cringe like it a fine wine to be savored an experienced, then mocked.

The big issue in the story is that the cube should have had to be removed from Skulls hand to neutralize it as a threat. And you have a creature in the story that could swoop in and do that. Just have San single the bird to grab the cube and then have Sam realize what it can do and then have AIM destroy the cube. Then you have the “secret” of who made the cube at the end and the new hero using powers (aka a bird) Cap does not have forms a lancer role for the new hero. Set up a non-sidekick but friendship dynamic.

I hope someday we go back to that unfortunate hal Jordan thing you mentioned, I really want to know about the MANY mistakes they retconned out of memory (even when they will make me really upset)

You have got to do a video on The Exiles. That book was so underrated and so amazing! AoA Blink is one of my favorite characters.

Honestly, it would've been more realistic if The Cube couldn't be utilized properly by the Red Skull, either as a safety-feature that was added because the other guy couldn't trust him, or because he was in some way incompatible. And the reason for him quitting the, "let's give Captain America a bad name plan" could have been because people were suspicious of him when he acted out of character. Also, the green outfit was a nice one, but they needed a slightly different shade of orange.

Linkara: THE COSMIC CUBE CAN DO ANYTHING

I thought i would get a cool origin story about Sam Wilson, but instead, got a book about Red Skull being incompetent

Thanks for the breakdown Sasha. Loving the eyeshadow ( now that I know to look for it).

I love the Daily Bugle joke

Maybe they didn't think twice about Red-Cap not being Steve because Commie Smasher Cap was still in their memories. I'm curious if the people who operated as Cap while Steve was on ice will ever be brought up in the MCU. I think it would be a natural story to do.

Why is Sasha so adorable? Great video!

The Bugle blaming Spider-Man for everything. We have discovered the seed of modern reporting.

Sascha, you're missing the obvious explanation for why Skull gets it wrong so often: Because reasons!

3:22 I love the Exiles!!!

I already used the cube. I made these issues much better. IF you thought these had problems you should have seen the original issues. Even the cosmic cube can only do so much. You are welcome. :) lol

I like how flamboyant Sam’s poses are

Another great vid. I love the voices lol.

Remember that scen from Spider Man 2 where JJJJr wears the Spider-Man costume pretending to be him? Red Skull is actually jealous of Captain America... this proves it

"People don't even notice you are different!" They probably put it up to delayed or secondary puberty.

I just love your videos, always good for a laugh.

8:05 finally, somebody who gets me

I don't know, but "Deus ex Modok-y" was my favorite line this video. Your analysis and coverage of comics themes are incomparable. Ach do leiber!

I get why what the artist said could be seen as "othering" but at the same time I understand that artists see the world a bit differently then the rest of us do. He was also born in a different era, and his perspective is tied to that. I think that if asked he'd have interesting or positive things to say about various ethnic groups, races and peoples.

I love Exiles! Morph is my favorite!

Can you do a Blue Beetle origin. He's always been confusing for me and I like the way you word stuff.

I guess Stan would give you a No-Prize for noticing the plot holes.

If you told me you were going to do two colors of eye shadow on each eye i would have tried to talk you out of it, but Sasha makes it work. I am not a big fan of any of the Captain America characters. I just like to support this channel. Favorite Sasha quote: "Just give me the cube. You are doing it wrong!"

Will Tony disband while they have the chance today? I can't wait to find out!

MODOCK " I am science I am glorious!"

That Daily Bugle headline! They always know what's really up!

As a matter of fact that green costume was quite the shock. Just....wow XDXDXDXD

"No! No, man! It's not Snap Wilson! My name is "A Pimp Named Snap Wilson!" What is yo' problem sucka?!" - Sam Wilson, circa 1970 something. Probably.

7:55 the body swap (or possession) and no one notices thing... they did this so many times in Smallville.

I love the Exiles! The Blink & Nocturne ones, I don't know who these guys in the video are...

Cap: "You're the Falcon now. You're gonna live and breath Falcon! You're gonna catch fish with your claws and party with hawks. You're gonna date lady falcons and lose to the Patriots at the Super Bowl. You're gonna..."

Had to finally subscribe✊🏿

How does the quote go? "The past is a foreign country. They do things differently there." That out-of-touch comment from the artist, Gene Colan, reads just like something you would see from, say, a Japanese manga creator. The dude was born in 1926, so it's not too surprising, I guess. Like you said, Sasha, his intent was great. You know one of the things that I have always appreciated about the character though? He's not called *Black* *Falcon,* he's just *The* *Falcon.* That's noteworthy given the era in which he was created.

Don't think I missed that Futurama reference "Eat a flag" lol

Love all your research

Nice video Sasha.

Hi Sasha. Been a fan since top ten need. I would love to hear you talk about the Exiles. One of my faves!

"Politely attacking one at a time" is there any other way 😁

I just love watching her talk goth/nerd vibe

The Cosmic Cube can do anything! The Cosmic Cube can do anything! The Cosmic Cube can do anything!

The best thing about the exiles is Cadavus, Monarch of the Murder chair! Seriously, it's a Murder Chair! You can't beat that.

According to TV Tropes, Falcon was modeled on then-star college football player OJ Simpson.

I first heard of falcon on "the superhero squad show" im like, yo his costume is dope!... but who tf is this dude?? Haha

OMG watching this again I just noticed the EXILES mention, I love EXILES

Aw, I was sad to see we couldn't squeeze Iron Man's disband the avengers line. I also was hoping we could get to Falcon supposedly aborted mutant origin story. I remember reading that some years ago but never went to check the facts on it

Great vid

I think gene's quote is kind of wholesome if you look st the right way. Sure he worded it in a way that leads to miss interpretation but his heart was most definitely in the right place. He seemed to have a high respect for people of color but not much experience interacting with them. Otherwise they'd just be described as normal people. Notice how stan lee worded it way better.

Sasha! Love your Jack Nicholson impression!! love Steve Holliday

Red Skull cant stop won't stop

I'm just glad The Falcon isn't blue. Me, if I was the Red Skull. I'd use the cube to time travel and make it that my side won WWII. Or make mindless clones of cap and have then goosestep down Times Square.

Good video! Is that a plaid shirt worn backward?

Fun Fact: Storm is an American citizen in her original debut. her father is an American from Harlem.
