After the success of Wandavision ( Scarlet Witch and Vision in Spain, remember), the next bet of the house within the great Marvel network arrived at Disney +. Yes, we mean Falcon and the Winter Soldier , which hit the catalog last week to the delight of fans. The million dollar question now is: has it been done with the same good reception as its sister series? The content platform itself has taken us out of doubts.
Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the new bet of the UCM
Falcon and the Winter Soldier is Marvel Studios’ second bet to continue building its great universe. As you know, the firm decided that it was time to expand beyond the big screen, with the commitment to its own TV series that are directly linked to cinema films. In this way, fans will have content almost immediately and perfectly synchronized with each other, either through Disney’s content service or by going to theaters to see the big premieres – well, as long as the current pandemic allows it, of course. .
In the case of the title at hand, the protagonists are Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes , Falcon and Winter Soldier, respectively, who for six episodes (at least of the first season) will show us how the world is six months after everything. happened in Avengers: Endgame (you know, the Blip that brought back half of humanity after 5 years of disappearance, the death of Iron Man, the departure of Captain America …), having to deal with new conflicts and enemies.
A proposal without a doubt interesting for these two secondary ones so loved by many, which has nothing to do, yes, with the format and style used in Wandavision. The first series of Marvel Studios and Disney + was located just after the moments that we have pointed out to you (and before therefore Falcon and Winter Soldier) to see how Wanda and her beloved Vision are doing in a strangely idyllic world that ends up exploding on all sides.
Two proposals and four very different characters that surely raises a great question: which series has won in terms of audience?
Advantage for traditional style (for now)
Disney has been in charge of giving us this information through a press release in which it has confirmed that Falcon and the Winter Soldier has already become the most watched premiere of a series on Disney + during the opening weekend – occurred in this case between Friday 19 and Sunday 22 March.
This puts her ahead of Scarlet Witch and Vision , although unfortunately we do not have audience numbers, so we do not know how close they are. What the company does point out to us is that these two proposals together with The Mandalorian from Star Wars are currently the three star products of the service and the ones that have given them the most joy in terms of visualizations so far.
Do fans prefer the traditional (action-packed) Marvel style, seen in Falcon and the Winter Soldier , to the very different approach of WandaVision? It could be, although it is also likely that Scarlet Witch was in charge of opening the way and has pushed the expectation with a premiere of this type to be greater after its reaped success.
Therefore, we will have to wait for the recently released series to end to then compare absolute audiences of one and the other and then check which proposal has been the one that has convinced the public the most.
