Game of Thrones is fantasy and that is a magical gift. I understand that the Marvel Universe has magic, but the tone of the individual films generally remain consistent and The Winter Soldier is supposed to be an espionage thriller. That's why The Mandarin is a white terrorist and not a fumanchu stereotype weilding magical alien rings. I'm trying to picture this guy in that context and all I'm seeing is the Aquaman of the sky, I dunno. Maybe I just need to see their take on it, but to me it just doesn't fit the genre they're aiming for.
The difference is, they have the source for falcons powers well established, the cosmic cube which was in shields possesion for some time. They dont have to have him using birds for recon...but its no less fantastic than Captain America being a super human ...with an indestructible shield made of a metal that absorbs all energy. The universe is shared , its too late now, you already saw the thing that gives the falcon his power ...open a portal to another part of the universe....and Thanos was on the other side ...I think the audience has accepted the fantastic will be a part of marvel movies.
They are shooting for The Winter Soldier. Yes its a spy/espionage thriller...for Capt America , the people going to see this film will want to see Capt America...in an espionage thriller. Staring the super soldier that might as well be made of "magic", a serum along with "vita rays" that makes you a superhuman?
The STORY has jack shit to do with any of that , the story is after the experiment, Steve Rogers now has become outwardly, what he IS inwardly as a person ,while ironically looking like the perfect blonde haired blue eyed aryan specimen covered in red white in blue , your greatest dreams turned against you eat shit Hitler. Capt America is an outright polemic against Nazi Germany's views on human worth, the story is Steve Rogers is a hero , his powers just change him to being military status, finally he passes the test! It was a way to get him out of the US and to the war. How did this happen>>>???
Its magic why try and put some kind of..science back into the source material, imagination wrote those stories. How do you even explain capt america in the context of an " espionage thriller" Both Cap and Falcons powers are extraordinary for what you seem to be envisioning. Maybe check out the comic book for a clearer picture of how it plays out the producers seem to be data mining Brubaker and his material a lot to do a good job brining it to the screen.
You shouldnt worry, besides the power given to him by the cube, the falcon is pretty much like hawkeye or any other agent type character, trained by captain america and others in combat and survival, trained by shield in recon and scouting, given tech by BP for his flying /protection. He's your basic low power high ability human hero that wont be too hard to focus on all those other things most of the time over his link with birds, should that prove to be difficult to do well.
