I would love to see a fishes out of water story with Sam and Bucky going on a big, crazy, Guardians of the Galaxy style space adventure, or having to deal with Dr. Strange style magic.

...and they would lose the kind of development that made them work in the first place. The MC/TVU needs a past that is more grounded, just as in the comics, there were characters that were never going to have aliens or the wilder end of the supernatural as their regular adversaries.

Sure the past can stay grounded, but that doesn't mean the future can't go totally off the wall fuckin' bonkers.
Taking the characters out of the comfort zone would not destroy any of the development they've gotten, and could actually give them a lot of interesting new development as we see them having to deal with something different from what they usually deal with.
When a character usually deals with something with their guns or fists, suddenly throwing them into a situation where they have to deal with something that can't be solved with a gun or fist can give us some of their best stories, as we see them struggle to find a new type of solution.
And besides we already saw them as part of the big battles at the ends of Infinity War and Endgame, so it's not like they haven't encountered aliens and magic before.

It's comics, sometimes you just have to accept the crazy.
@TREK_GOD_1, I honestly don't understand how you can call yourself a comics or superhero fan when you seem to hate everything that actually makes them unique. Yeah, sometimes the stuff is just plain bad, but it's that ridiculous, crazy shit that makes comics and superheroes really stand out from other forms of media.

@TREK_GOD_1 Black Lightning has some fantasical things going on (Jennifer with SUperman+ level powers, a countyr invading Freeland with virtually no help form anyone form the outside, Jefferson still having a job with all the time he spends as BL [/sarcasm]). But what makes Black Lightning so powerful, despite all the fantasy in there, is the character writing/acting. All the family/personal issues they bring up are real life stuff, but they have extremely fantastical circumstances.

That's what we're saying for Sam and Bucky. ANd it's not like ALL of their fututre adventures would be like that. But out of say, the next 5, why NOT have one be in an otherworldly circumstance. Their interaction would STILL feel grounded/real (just like the Pierce family interactions). And i sure can forsee SOME circumstance where this could happen. I mean, DC TV has done Invasion AND Crisis... i am surprised MCU hasn't brought up Secret Wars yet (which, in my opinion feels like Marvel's pre-emptive answer to DC's Crisis).

Something "more realisitic", like Sam or Bucky getting a girlfriend, would also get us some funny interaction as well.

Exactly, for me what makes stuff like I'm talking about fun is taking very grounded characters and their relationships, and throwing them into the craziest situations possible. It's that conflict between the over the top and grounded elements that makes those stories great, so for it to work you need to keep them same characters they were in the more grounded stories.
 
So after Solo and now this, is Erin Kellyman becoming the go to actress for mask wearing female characters?

Falcon, Winter Soldier - you're up next!
 
Disney+ has their two Legends features up.
One for Falcon, one for Winter Soldier.

those are basically character focused Previously On... trailers.
It’s nice they do it this way, so we don’t need too much exposition in the a tubal show to bring people back up to speed.

These two did a much better job of forming a cohesive recap narrative than Vision and Scarlet Witch episodes did, but I think it works better if you watch the Bucky segment first then the Falcon segment.

I hope they never lose this aspect, even if they become as close as Buck and Cap. This is so hilarious.

You also need to check out their Marvel interviews, especially Mackie - him playing Falcon is not acting, he seems to just play himself.. with a High Tech Wingsuit.

Kevin Feige hired him without even auditioning him first, so Mackie probably figured he could just play it as himself.
