Not that Sam's allergic to the idea of high-flying heroics. The world post-Blip, after all, is a pretty chaotic mess, and maybe it could use a Cap-esque hero to unite it. While Steve clearly meant for Sam to keep it, Sam clearly disagrees, which is why he hands it over to be displayed in a museum, something which Special Guest Star Don Cheadle questions. The opening scenes are all about Sam, with a very quiet and somber prelude featuring him at home, ironing a nice shirt in preparation for a press conference, and contemplating the shield old man Steve Rogers gave him. Bucky and Sam only had a few minutes to connect as characters in Captain America: Civil War but their charmingly bitchy repartee was a big reason to get excited about this show, and while we know that their storylines will connect in the episodes to come, it was just one reason why "New World Order" felt like the first chapter of a novel, as opposed to a truly great pilot episode.
However, the premiere's biggest weakness is this: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier proved to be The Falcon OR the Winter Soldier, which is more than a bit disappointing given how much of the initial anticipation for this show, not just based on the trailers we've seen but the title characters' established history. The fact that the first episode establishes quickly and firmly that the show's placement in the timeline is fundamental to its narrative is one of its biggest strengths.

After two whole weeks without new episodes of a Marvel series on Disney+, our long international nightmare is finally over - it's time for a new MCU story set in the chaotic times following Avengers: Endgame.
