Falcon's Suit in 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier' Gets New Official Artwork
Falcons Suit Looks So Good!
The Falcon has been evolving as a prominent hero in the mainstream ever since he made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Portrayed by Anthony Mackie, the character Sam Wilson has become more popular among movie-goers over the years. His journey culminated in the events of Avengers: Endgame, where we saw passing of the Captain America shield from Steve Rogers to Sam Wilson. While he may continue Cap’s legacy, it seems that we have not seen the last of The Falcon mantle, as evidenced by the mere title of the upcoming Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Picking up after the events of last year’s momentous event film Avengers: Endgame, this series was originally slated to be released in early fall 2020. However, the production has seen some challenges along the way. Even before the pandemic was as big of a concern as it became, a Puetro Rico shoot was canceled due to earthquakes in the area. The show has been delayed to a currently unknown release date. It seems like tough luck for the first of the Disney+ shows that were to tie in heavily with the films. Regardless, fans are still eagerly awaiting the series, wanting to see where Bucky and Sam go next now that Steve Rogers is gone.
While it may become time before we see a substantial amount of visuals from the series, we now have a look at what The Falcon’s suit will look like. This comes from the packaging of a Hot Wheels car of all places. Themed around The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the packaging art depicts The Falcon with a sleeker outfit. The differences may not stand out much to casual viewers of the films, but a side-by-side comparison would show just how different they are from each other. Some may even say that this new suit is more comic book accurate, which is sure to please those who may have been waiting for a suit like this one. Though early concept art for The Falcon’s look had come out in November 2019, this is a more photorealistic look, giving fans a better idea of what to expect.
Given that this was included in the merchandising, it seems very likely that this suit will be featured prominently. When Steve Rogers gave Sam Wilson the shield, fans may have expected that Wilson would have gotten a Captain America suit, or at least started using the shield, right away. Now, we are left speculating just how long it may take for him to truly don the Captain America name. Given the presence of U.S. agent in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, it seems very possible that the debate over who should get to replace Captain America may be a major focus. This may be akin to how Matt Murdock did not wear his classic red outfit for almost all of Daredevil season 1. It makes sense that there would be all of these steps in between and that it would not necessarily be a smooth transition.
Whatever ends up happening in the Disney+ show, Marvel fans will surely tune in to see their familiar favorites. Perhaps future merchandising could provide more hints regarding the series, if we do not get more information from elsewhere before then. Merchandising may not always be precisely reflective of what ends up in the final product, but it can certainly leave bread crumbs for the fans to follow. Even if the toys are not necessarily one’s forte, a close examination may cue someone in on what is to come in the near future.

Zack Snyder Hints at a Longer Runtime for His Cut of 'Justice League'
The DCEU film Justice League has been a hot topic of much comic book movie discussion since its release in November 2017. Zack Snyder could not complete the film due to a tragedy in the family, so Joss Whedon took over. The resulting film had a 120-minute runtime and was deemed underwhelming to many moviegoers. Even if it was not terrible, it should have been better for what it was. After all, the Justice League are DC's iconic team of high profile superheroes. Since the film's release, there have been tidbits about just how different Zack Snyder's version of the film would have been, prompting a sect of DC fandom to campaign for this version using #ReleaseTheSnyderCut.

The Pearl by John Steinbeck
‘The Pearl’ is a well-known by under-read classic and, as a teacher, many of my students have absolutely loved it. Not just because it is short, but because it presents a storyline that is interesting and corrupting. Easy to read and easier to analyse, ‘The Pearl’ is one of Steinbeck’s hardest hitting classics with an underlying message about protecting what is actually important. By the end of the book, the reader is left defeated and believing in the wrong thing. The idealism around this book is incredible and it is so dark too. For a long while you are supporting the wrong people, thinking in the wrong way and the whole story becomes one long act of misdirection by Steinbeck to show in a ‘Monkey’s Paw’ fashion why we should never chase wealth and status.

Clinging to Childhood
The playground is empty, as it should be past sundown. There is a warm breeze, and I can see everything despite the late hour. What time is it, anyway? It could very well be past midnight. I can never keep track of time, especially in the summer. A prickly piece of popcorn hides like a stowaway in the left cup of my padded training bra. I stuffed the tissue in last minute— a decision I’m beginning to regret, based on the events that are unfolding rapidly before me. To my left, laying non-chalantly on his back, is my date for the evening. He is two years older, could probably grow facial hair if he wanted to, and drives a secondhand Honda. He may as well be a Man. I, on the other hand, feel like a fraud with my too-short short-shorts, sparkly lip gloss, and makeshift push-up bra. I keep my arms pinned to my sides as I feel the dreaded circles of sweat beginning to manifest on my brand new Abercrombie top. I cup my elbows with my hands and stare down at my hint of cleavage, praying that the tissue doesn’t pop out like a white flag surrendouring my lack of womanhood.
