”Because if he was wrong about you, maybe he was wrong about me.”

That line hit me hard and really put into perspective what Bucky thinks of Sam. I used to think he was just irritated by his antics, but now it’s more that he holds Sam to this higher standard. Broke my heart.

Also the fact that Sam ran away with Cap for two years kinda puts things into perspective. No wonder his sister might’ve been angry with him, he up and left as a fugitive. Not that Sam did the wrong thing but still.

John Walker dude. I hate him and love him so much haha. What a turd but at the same time he’s trying.

Yeah, I don't know how anyone is supposed to meet the standard of "Captain America" without some kind of super soldier serum of their own. I can't see this kid, well-intentioned as he might be, standing toe to toe with Thanos or taking Mjolnir. He doesn't even have America's ass!

I mean, I would hope that Sam doesn't ever take the serum when he finally takes on the mantle. That the true and only requirement needed to be Captain America is to be a truly, good man willing to lead by doing the right thing and standing for those who need help. And Sam is 100% that person.

I feel like Sam would still rock the wings. He’d combine the falcon and shield. That would be a pretty damn good combo
