Watched the first episode of THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER.

THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER is good, and thoughtful about what the MCU world has become. But… [SPOILERS]

…I’m a little confused as to why an Avenger – even one originally on the wrong side of the Accords – would be in financial difficulty. That scenario at the bank should have ended with So, let’s talk endorsements, Falcon. Something tasteful, of course. You wearing the uniform, talking about how your family’s banked with us for generations. A couple of billboards, maybe a TV spot? I mean, sheesh, that’s local advertising gold. Tourism gold, too: that town should be awash in Falcon stuff.

Or Sam talks to Rhodey who talks to Pepper and then suddenly every financial problem goes away. Or, hell, Sam talks to Pepper. They unquestionably know each other. And so on, and so on.
