if sam wilson doesn’t become captain america, like he so rightfully deserves, we riot.
people are saying Bucky and as much as i love Bucky, two things:
bucky doesn’t want it. he’s been at war physically and with himself for literally years. he doesn’t want to fight anymore. he just wants to rest and start healing and start finding himself again without getting interrupted by villains and fighting and saving the world. sam has shown numerous times that not only is he almost exactly like steve (“but slower”) and has the same morals, but he does not let anyone tell him what to do and he fights because he wants to help people and protect them, and he wants to fight for his causes. not too independent that he’s a vigilante but not too much that he’s completely obedient to anyone else. he’d be the perfect cap. he’s ready, he’s deserving, and he wants it unlike Bucky.
some people just want bucky instead of sam bc they don’t want captain America to go to a black man and that’s just the tea ok
I think you handled it in precisely the right way by making a palpable example of something he could understand. He did not respond to normal techniques.
