The betrayal of the government was a particularly important point for the writers.

So it is yeah, those moments youвЂ™re talking about are pointed, and we dig deeper and deeper and deeper as the series progresses.

I mean, Black folk are the masters of it, and when we get a shot, to do what we do, it is universal for everyone because our struggle and our point of view is a concentrated version of the greater human struggle. The magic of embracing diversity in the writers room and having an almost all-Black staff allows you to tap into pop culture. I think this is going to be an extremely relevant show in a lot of ways, and that is not by accident. It was вЂњpointedвЂќ that the episode ends with Falcon finding out that the government lied to him about becoming Captain AmericaвЂ™s replacement because he isnвЂ™t white. The writer told Variety that their drive to make the writerвЂ™s room вЂњall-blackвЂќ was a key to success. вЂњThat was a really, really fun moment, where what was supposed to be a scene that mostly dealt with the issues of, you know, a black family from a certain background dealing with a bank loan, and the fact that him being a celebrity does not transcend him being black,вЂќ Spellman says. In an interview with Variety, he breaks down how the series touches on contemporary politics, from Black Lives Matter to the coronavirus pandemic.ДЄn early scene, for instance, shows the Falcon, aka Sam Wilson (played by Anthony Mackie) visiting a bank, and a banker asks about his income with suspicion and ultimately turns him down for a loan. According to Malcolm Spellman, head writer for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (FAWS) debuting on Disney+, the show dove into its political themes quite pointedly even from the first episode.
