Zombie au where ame has to fucking die at the end ☺
Tonight, President Ross embraced the theme of togetherness in his acceptance speech, but his past tells a different story, especially when it comes to working with heroes like Captain America.
As two of our nation's most important leaders, some question if they can overcome their at times tumultuous history to face the challenges of the future.
...
Here you go, Cap ... Put your money away. It's on the house.
Okay okay, I was done with gif sets but I've circled back to this one (where it all began lol) because LISTEN to what the news readers say!
"Heroes like Captain America" Sam is recognised as Cap and considered a true hero.
"As two of our nation's most important leaders" ‼️‼️
Sam is considered one of America's leaders and one of the MOST IMPORTANT.
And those three people he walks past all raise their glasses and call him Cap. 🥹🥹
Sam Wilson is a goddamn national treasure. He is beloved.
The Humble Beginnings
Germany puts this sign up for every G7 meeting.
By the way Alfred would show up to an official function wearing a bucket hat with the Canadian flag on it. England then shows up with a Scotland themed fedora. Because they’re their hats
Sam and Bucky agreeing to “go on long separate vacations and never see each other again” only to end up spending that vacation together has the same energy as Eugene telling Rapunzel they both “part ways as unlikely friends” only to marry her

I’m sorry I screwed up. Screwed up? Get out of here. I did. You never messed up like I have. You never got shot out of the sky and nosedived into the Indian Ocean. You’re always on point. Yeah. Because if I’m not on point… I feel like I let down everyone else who was fightin’ for a seat at that table. That’s pressure, man. It weighs on you. Makes you wonder if you’ll ever just be… enough. Where I grew up, I only ever got to see heroes online. Or on TV. It always felt so far away. And I kept thinkin’ maybe if I get out of Miami, you know, maybe one day I could be… Don’t say AntMan. No, man. I wanted to be you. Well… Sam Wilson. Because that guy? That guy won’t ever give up. That pressure, that responsibility you talk about? I want that too, man.
ANTHONY MACKIE & DANNY RAMIREZ Captain America: Brave New World | 2025
So, you've got this character, right? And he's introduced in a supporting role, but he's interesting and compelling and has potential as a lead. He leads his own subplots every now and then, but there's room for more.
Then, over the decades, he gets more and more neglected. His characterisation and visual portrayal somehow gets worse and even more racist despite supposedly improving attitudes. But what's this? 2014? And he's captain America. He is declared to be important, a main character. Finally, a chance to shine!
Of course, then, the avengers stories don't focus on him and only some of the writing is good... then they discard him after the secret wars stuff. But what's this? 2022? He's back? He's cap again?
Well, not really. Steve's cap. Sam is off in the background somewhere, in an underwhelming solo run, sequestered from most other comics.
But what if we turn to live action? Sam is introduced as a supporting character but he's fun and he's interesting. What's this? 2019? We're told directly that sam is important, that Sam's going to matter.
2 years later we get a series that's a mixed bag, with his co star getting the more fawning writing and the overwhelming majority of the audience response. But don't worry, he's getting a film.
4 years later, the delayed film comes out. Its release is tarnished by a bonkers decision to adapt sabra and by a reactionary, anti-woke media ecosystem. Despite this, it does well financially and is pretty good. Sam wasn't focused on in the marketing, and his co star bears more thematic focus in the film, but it's promising. Sam as the lead. Sam as important.
2 months later. They say nah again. He doesn't matter. He isn't important.
It'll be another year at least before we see him again. In a film where he is very clearly not going to be the lead.
