Excuse me?? TFATWS writers broke an entire Bucky/Sarah love story!?! 👀👀 WHOLE DAMN LOVE STORY!! Sir, we're going to need you to show the whole Bucky/Sarah story in the next Cap movie.

For me, episode 6 always felt like some time had past since the events in NY. Originally the series was 8 episodes, so I believe the 2 episodes would have shown Bucky going to Louisiana in-between working thru his book while Sam was away doing Cap things, and Bucky & Sarah's relationship developed. It would explain why Bucky and the boys are closer and so playful with each other. This is just my take on how it may have played out. But, it just makes you wonder what is in the BuckySarah cut footage. 👀

*This is just the section where he talks about Bucky/Sarah. The full interview with Malcom Spellman about writing TFATWS series can be seen on the Writers Guild Foundation youtube channel.

Sebastian and Anthony know how to play those characters in a way that can’t be written. It’s just transcendent. And, beneath how they just play with the characters, it’s like Jazz to them, you’re gonna see a bunch of that subtext that us clumsy writers layer in there.

That’s not me that’s Malcom Spellman (x)

So happy to see this. A roundtable of the cast and crew speaking seriously on the show themes, moderated by a black woman and digging into those deeper topics. I really love that Marvel seems to be actively courting black entertainment news outlets. EDIT: SERIOUSLY WATCH THIS!!!  If you have questions about the bigger themes, about race, about John Walker... I AM DYING.... They’ve confirmed EVERYTHING I BEEN SAYING

KEVIN FIEGE of all people saying what I been saying about fandom and John Walker.

Captain America and the Winter Soldier

Some clarifying info from the showrunner

->Including a persistent rumor that a large chunk of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was rewritten to remove a pandemic-related storyline. Addressing the cut storyline, Spellman said “I’ve been told to stop saying that. I loved it and it had nothing to do with the pandemic. I want to see if we can get some of the writers to do a [comic] book run on it because I think Kevin [Feige] does it. I’ve been told to stop talking about it.”

->Regarding Bucky Barnes’ possible bisexuality – a part of the story some fans had hoped to see in the series but that didn’t transpire – Spellman said that “no one really says ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to anything” but that any story they write has to play out organically, and ultimately they have left the character in a position to go on a major journey now that his past trauma has been somewhat resolved.

“I can’t honestly say that I have an opinion,” he said. “But whoever picks up the pen or the keyboard, I’m gonna embrace whatever direction [Bucky] goes in.”

->Touching on Walker’s murder of Flag-Smasher Nico in full view of the public after injecting himself with the super soldier serum, Spellman seemed less sure of whether there could be true accountability for the crime, because that just isn’t the way the US government works. “The government backed him as Cap, so in a weird way even when he had the shield he was US Agent.”

->I know a lot of people had problems with the pacing but....

Spellman also confirmed that the series was cut from 8 episodes to 6 to remove some “flab”.
