man there was just something so special about the scene where joaquin finally tells sam about the pressure he feels to be perfect, in order to live up to the standards sam set as falcon. like you can just tell from the look on his face that sam really needed to hear that: that as much as he struggles to fill steve’s shoes, somebody else is struggling to fill his. because sam is a hero—someone that kids from all around the world probably look up to, who makes people feel safe, who can always be counted on to get back up and make the right decision, super serum or not.
