Captain America- Brave New World- trailer

But, are they though? I guess I'm suffering from not knowing Falcon's backstory but I can't imagine his training comes near that of Black Widow. And I don't know where Hawkeye trained but the fact that he literally can't miss is pretty superhuman, dare I say, mutant even. How can you NOT miss ever? That's not normal. While Black Widow, Hawkeye and Falcon/New Cap are just regular humans as far as mortality is concerned, I still see a difference there.

But I'm just a casual movie fan with no knowledge of the comic books so I can be totally wrong. Is Falcon's training on par with Black Widow or does he possess a skill that matches Hawkeye?

Well, movie Falcon is now more Iron Man than Cap technically. In the comics he had a bit more power in that he actually had limited telepathic and empathic control over birds. He actually was the 2nd marvel black superhero ever after Black Panther, and was recruited by nazis unknowingly, rebelled against them, and then trained under Captain America.

Move version seems a bit more streamlined, which is understandable and he just relies on tech. Although I would imagine the military training to get accepted into the para-gliding unit, or whatever its called, would be pretty extensive.

I have a soft spot for Falcon, because growing up I had a penchant for side kicks and rooting for them, so he has always been one of my favorites. So I do hope this movie is good, but I suspect Thunderbolts will be the better of the two.

The first Marvel story arc wasn't balls out gangbusters either. What will eventually make or break this movie is if it extends the arc story as well. If it doesn't, it could suffer a bit more. But adding Sidewinder, Red Hulk, Diamondback, I am a sucker for accumulating as many different superhero/villians on screen as I can get before I shuffle the mortal coil.
