Comic artists have to draw things over and over, by themselves, so the simpler something is, the better movies and TV shows have an entire costume department to put things together, so they get textures and panels and little bits of armor stitched in. The details are more intricate, obviously, because big flat spaces of color are boring in live action. Ryan Meinerding pretty much directly adapted the comic costume for Cap's new suit: nearly as much white as blue, angled lines running from the star on the chest out to the shoulders, etc. Like that figure, this one has his goggles permanently attached to his face, so the toughest part of the likeness to get right is hidden away.

With wings instead of repulsors, Sam Wilson has more control over how and where he moves. Even taking into account the fact that Falcon's wings do rely on a jet pack for thrust, his jet pack surely isn't as powerful as an Iron Man suit from Tony Stark's lab.
