Yes, which makes me resent the Falcon & Winter Soldier series that much more.
Anthony Mackie has charisma. I couldn't care less about celebrity interviews altogether, but Mackie's interviews always have a fun chaotic energy to them that makes him fun to watch-- he obviously enjoys taking the piss out of people. Haha. I think that if a less charismatic actor had played Sam, then I don't think the character would have made any sort of impression on the audience whatsoever. I'll never forget how nuts the audience went in response to the perfectly placed "On your left!" line during Endgame. That's all Mackie, in my opinion.
It just fucking sucks that in the Falcon & Winter Soldier series, they essentially made Sam's personality "I'M BLAAAAAAACK! Blackity black black! Don't you know that I'm Blaaaaaaack?" The writing failed him big time.
Falcon & Winter Soldier was the MCU series I was most looking forward to when all of the shows were announced a year ago. What a letdown.
