Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
i hope the scenes with isaiah bradley, the cops cornering sam, sam telling bucky he cannot tell sam what he does or does not have the right to do, sam being flat-out “this is something neither you nor steve would understand” regarding his decision to give the shield back, i hope none of that goes over yall’s heads.
isaiah bradley was forgotten about by history because (canonically) he was part of a project that experimented with the super soldier serum. experimented. remember what that word means.
the cops cornered sam because they thought he was bothering bucky, and likely would have arrested him FOR NO REASON had bucky not been there to testify to the fact that he really was an avenger.
and it has finally been straight-up addressed now that the shield carries a notably different burden in relation to sam than it would to steve and bucky, and isaiah stands as a living testament to the complicated legacy of the shield.
it’s right there.
reminder that Sam Wilson
is still helping catch bad guys
can speak Arabic???? HELLO??????
is saving people's lives
when he sees things are going south at home, steps in to help
sent bucky texts probably to check in on him
has the time to be fucking hilarious during an intense fight
gave up the shield because he didn't feel worthy of it even though everything about him screams otherwise
has a lovely relationship with his nephews
handles disrespect gracefully even though he had every right to punch that fucker in the face
talks to redwing. like doesn't remote control him, he legitimately talks to him
ALSO HE FIXES REDWING. TECHNOLOGICAL GENIUS
emotional catharsis and a proper apology? in MARVEL’S 20k slow-burn bonding-over-fixing-the-boat canon compliant sambucky fic? it’s more likely than you think
how that conversation really went
bucky: oh man 😔 i guess i have no choice but to stay at a hotel tonight 😢🙄 sure would be a shame if a hot guy offered for me to stay on his couch 😳👀
sam: ...
bucky: sure would be a shame 😔👀
sam: oh for god's sake-
the fact that john walker tried to manipulate bucky by telling him that if sam died it would be bucky’s fault when that’s something he’s probably terrified of. like sam’s the only person he has left that that really understands him and his relationship with steve (next to sharon ofc). walker knew that and used it against him. FUCK THIS GUY FR 😐
ok but are you gonna sit there and tell me you didn’t burst out laughing when torres just like. sent sam a selfie
tfatws writers with sam: financial issues, family history, racism, self worth problems, constant sense of duty
tfatws writers with bucky:
ok but i’m kinda excited to see where this goes
we saw it coming but i was still shocked
if you weren’t screaming during this scene were you really watch the show?
captain america and the winter soldier
we love to see it
listen i get that she’s shady but like look at how pretty she is🥺
sam wiping off the blood from the shield definitely almost made me cry
i just think that ✨bucky smiling✨
i missed Joaquin Torres
also new falcon??
i’m so glad we got to see them talk through their problems
isaiah bradley deserved so much better
smiling sam bucky meant so much to me
i don’t know about y’all but for me john walker has forever tainted the image of the shield
bucky and sam just watching as the dora milaje beat john up very much increased my serotonin levels
this will now be staying rent free in my head
i already had so much respect for sam but this episode really made it go even higher
marvel starting the episode with bucky sobbing was pure pain
but i’m so happy he’s finally free
no because what the fuck was that episode
marvel really just posted a hour long cut of zemo dancing
they’re really here trying to make up for all the trauma
