honestly it's so wild to me that sam and bucky's relationship has gone through the development it has, to the point where it's unironically one of the healthiest relationships in the mcu. from the steering wheel incident in the winter soldier, to their incredible "asshole i'm forced to work together with" dynamic in civil war (best part of the movie ngl), to them truly working past their differences and genuinely growing to care about each other in tfatws.
and now they're at a point where bucky dropped everything to comfort sam when he needed it, and sam trusted him to be completely vulnerable with him. and of course the canon "i love you". it's incredible to see how far they've come and i can't wait to see more of their relationship in the future.
SAM WILSON & BUCKY BARNES THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER (2021) CAPTAIN AMERICA: SAM WILSON #7 (2016)
I’m convinced that people who keep saying “oh what would Sam’s avengers roster even consist of” just haven’t been paying attention. Anyways.
- Joaquin Torres aka The Falcon. Obviously. Feel like that goes without saying.
- Ant man and wasp. Scott would drop quite literally anything for the chance to gain Sam’s respect. He’s Sam’s number one fan and was mentioned several times in BNW. He and Hope would be there in a heartbeat.
-War machine: also goes without saying. We’ve seen their bond throughout all the movies and his cameo in FATWS. Rhodey has Sam’s back.
- Black panther/ the Wakandans. Sam has kept an incredibly good relationship with the Wakandans (something Bucky somehow fails to do repeatedly) given how he is fully backed by them and they have no problem gifting him suits.
- Hell, by extension of the Wakandans, we can even add Ironheart to the list.
- the young avengers. Not only through Eli Bradley (who I am still holding out hope we are seeing again.) but I have no doubt Clint passed the word about Kate on to Sam as well.
- Thor. most purely because of the recent picture of the 2 of them together, but they were also avengers together at the same time, went to the same parties and trained together. Same can be said about Bruce. Speaking of:
- Bruce and Jen. Sam’s connected to the hulks now, after the whole ting with Ross I think it would be pretty obtuse to believe that Bruce didn’t immediately talk to Sam afterwards. Plus i firmly believe Jen will be the legal consultant to Sam going forward for the new avengers. She also such a fan girl it’s almost impossible for me to believe she would miss out on this opportunity.
- Carol Danvers. Fury respected Sam, Carol respects Fury. It’s not that hard to imagine they would eventually cross paths with one another even after the battle of Endgame. (If ANYONE is co leading the avengers with Sam its her, even though Sam doesn’t need a co leading at all I’m just tired of the Bucky co lead narrative)
- Shang Chi. Mainly because he’s in the cast for Doomsday, there is no where else I can imagine him really going other than with Sam. And why wouldn’t he?
Let’s not pretend that Sam wasn’t fighting side by side with countless of hero’s. He’s a man about connection and finding commonality, you really think he wouldn’t introduce himself to his fellow avengers after the dust settles? There are plenty more I can add to this list, but I’ll leave that up to yall.
Let’s stop pretending like Sam isn’t a well connected man.
oohhh my god do you think gangstalia italy and germany got to actually meet as kids and they both remember each other and no one was doomed to disappear after going off to war and their only trauma is getting electrocuted in this card game
i cant put this into words but. yeah. you know.
Natasha + always looking out for Steve Rogers
he's getting every nacho fry they have in that store.
Like a angel in the snow.
Philomena Cunk (Walking outside among a vast green countryside): Today in yet another pursuit of knowledge about our earth, I'll be visiting England. But not the England that you might be thinking of. Who better to ask all sorts of pressing questions about the history of this country, than the country himself? That's why I'm visiting the personification of England himself, at his own home.
(cut to England's home library, they sit across from each other)
Philomena Cunk: Canadian Geese were first introduced by King Henry eye-vee and have since become a big problem. As a personification who has witnessed lots of maiming from the olden days, would you say that the threat of a goose attack is just as strong today?
England (composed): You'd like me to compare geese from different times?
Philomena Cunk: I've a mate who's aunt lost an eye to one. She said the nasty little birds have a special bacteria in their mouth that's quite deadly.
England: Is that so?
Philomena Cunk:
killing his publicist
