Tfatws gave fans justice!!!!!!
This was me LMAO. Well turns out Isaiah is my Hero 😅😅😅
I think that was the first time Bucky actually said 'Hail Hydra'
Wasn't it ?????
LOOK HOW AVENGERS RECRUITMENT WORKS BIRDSEED WE HAVE BIRDSEED SAM, NOW LETS SAVE PEOPLE
steve was searching for the man bucky was and sam looks at the man he is
the new avengers working with the government is like the x-men working with the cia
if my boyfriend started leading a group called the new avengers that worked with the government (and included the government appointed captain america) after i fought alongside the former captain america for the belief that the avengers should not work with the government due to fear of limitation and corruption AND was chosen by the former captain america to be the next captain america, i too would be fucking pissed
"who thought it was smart to make sam wilson the next cap-" steve rogers, now shut up.
someone said that stucky is unrequited love and sambucky is friends to lovers and i agree
i can't see thunderbolts* for two weeks so if the whole uproar of a sambucky divorce is actually just from one heated fight i will be so pissed
you know what? fuck trying to avoid thunderbolts* spoilers because i am NOT going to wait to defend sam wilson (or anthony mackie) while people drag him for some bullshit reasons
i can't do another divorce c'mon marvel LET THEM BE MARRIED
actually i don't want patrick stewart and ian mckellen to make out in doomsday because that would make the ship canon
i want marvel to write their silly scenes and do whatever (because they will anyway) and let the fandom handle the rest because the fun of shipping isn't forcing marvel's hand, it's watching them squirm as we point out not so subtle gay subtext between characters they actively try to sell as "just really close best friends"
the thing is, stucky is this complex heartfelt story that spans into the literal next century of a bond between two souls that runs so deep in which bucky truly sees steve for who he is pre-serum and steve still believes in bucky even after over half of a century of him being brainwashed into the winter soldier, and through the decades of torture and reset bucky still recognizes steve and saves him with the inner strength born out of love, where tragedy and hope find middle ground because despite the time, the trauma, and loss, because these two truly are with each other til the end of the line
and then sambucky has this snarky, rather childish dynamic with the underlying sincerity of care and respect in which sam treats bucky for the man he is in the present and actually gains his trust over hard stares and ridiculous banter and it shows in moments such as their hug when bucky actually closes his eyes and the trust he has in sam is evident and where sam didn't know bucky pre-winter soldier so he has no expectations for who bucky should be or how he's changed since the 1940s and gives bucky advice on how to find closure on his past and they roll around and have staring contests and oh yeah bucky literally tells sam "i love you"
two best explanations for why a ship is canon:
1. *detailed analysis of each on-screen interaction, breaking down dialogue exchanges, pointing out every single microexpression, identifying metaphors for a romantic relationship, reading between the lines, presenting theories with supporting evidence from the canon material*
2. "have you seen them they literally eye-fuck every time they're in the same space"
what is it gonna take for bucky stans to get it through their thick skulls that bucky barnes would not be happy to hear about their poorly disguised racism towards sam wilson
something where sambucky is hanging out in public and a reporter says some racist shit about sam being captain america to their face and congressman barnes punches said reporter in the face without hesitation
poolverine cherik sambucky may never be truly canon but at least we get the increasingly homoerotic bromance dynamic so that's something i guess
