I’ve never loved Sam Wilson so much in my life.
The man can read a room! The way he spoke softly with Bucky, matching his tone, when they were on the plane after meeting John Walker to keep the conversation things civil and logical to keep Bucky’s emotion in check.
Balances emotion and logic. He acts on emotion but also thinks logically and listens which can be seen a lot when he was with Steve (and now with Bucky). For example, when Bucky left the car with Walker, Sam stayed and let Walker finish speaking before getting out. Even though Walker consistently insulted them.
Patient and keeps his temperament in check. He will firmly defends himself and others. But he never gets riled up unless he has good reason like when he finds out about Isaiah.
Always fights for what is right (THE MAN DROPPED EVERYTHING TO HELP STEVE OUT OF THE BLUE! C’mon guys!)
...But always keeps things light and fun (which Bucky desperately needs)
Always says the right thing and affirms what people need to hear. He says it whether they want to or not. He is logical but maintains respect. This can be seen with Bucky, probably because he was working at the VA for vets with PTSD
Incredibly compassionate. He is a good man which is why he got the shield. This show just proves it. It shows us what Steve saw in him! (HE TEXTED BUCKY FOR MONTHS DESPITE BEING IGNORED.)
Handles situations with such grace and poise. This is despite the stress and grief that systemic racism brings and despite being absolutely humiliated and heartbroken when they gave the shield to Walker. He gives me grounded Black Panther energy.
GREAT WITH CHILDREN (which is why he can keep up with Buckwheat 🤡)
He is unbelievably charming and hilarious
He is a family man who never gives up
YES Bucky has been my favorite MCU character and yeah Bucky’s story is sad and heartbreaking.
BUT you’re blind and ignorant if you don’t see how heartbreaking it is for Sam! He is holding it together BECAUSE HE HAS TO that’s why you don’t see it!
(Rewatch the episodes. Mackie went to Julliard he knows what he is doing. His acting is brilliant.)
Sam is such a good person and an incredible character and I LOVE how tfatws is finally showing it. I have immense respect for this character and...
YES I am in love with him.
