SABRINA CARPENTER attending the Met Gala After-Party (May 5th, 2025)

Me, yesterday:

Marvel, Today:

But can we agree that Bucky Barnes pretty much took his super villain origin story in First Avenger and said “nope”? He watched the kid he constantly looked out for and defended and tried to cheer up suddenly become not just a hero, but THE hero. He watched himself suddenly become unnecessary for his friend to get by. There was clearly some resentment going on exacerbated by the heavy amount of torture he underwent. It was a similar situation to Loki, only Bucky had always been in the favored role and suddenly loses it. This would be the point that most characters would be seen simmering and brooding and either betray the hero and only redeem themselves by death or let their envy get the better of them and decide to take on the hero. And Bucky just…doesn’t. He has his moment of private hurt and pain and he regroups. His friendship is more important than his pride and he seamlessly steps aside to take a supporting role. He never flinches. There’s never any moment where you even see him THINK about betraying Steve. There’s no scene where he pauses before he helps him. Nothing.

Which is why HYDRA turning him into a monster is even more horrific. Because Bucky had already rejected going that route on his own. They had to MAKE him one. They had to force him. It would have been so easy for Bucky to have become the villain…and he doesn’t even consider it. Bucky is a victim in so many ways. 

I JUST NEED TO DRAW THIS

i’m always thinking that sam is constantly being left alone, either by choice (steve) or as a consequence of death (riley, nat, his mother and father), like until tfatws where he lived with sarah, every time he is on screen or mentioned he is alone, since the moment we meet him. in dc when he meets steve, in age of ultron he mentions looking for bucky alone, in infinity war he is snapped alone and when he comes back what he receives from steve is a job (it is honoring but it’s a job) and leaves him do deal with it alone because at the time bucky also left and ignored sam when he tried to reach for him.

like most of sam’s interactions with other ppl until tfatws was ppl needing him and he helping them. like for someone as outgoing as sam, he had few real friends and even fewer deep connections— and even the friends he has were formed by sam trying to help them (isaiah) or taking care of them (joaquin) and ppl talk a lot about how bucky found himself someone that can fly after his trauma of falling but sam found someone that will stay with him, no matter what. like bucky’s ass is not leaving, he goes out of his way to make sure sam is okay, promises to always be there, says sam can call him anytime, but i bet my left tiddie he doesn’t even need to cause the moment sam is not okay bucky is there (that’s not even me saying, that canon!) but more importantly in bucky sam found a relationship where he is not always giving something of himself like he always is but actually receiving the love and support he is constantly giving other ppl

this is the best burrito ! I’ve ever eaten !!!!!!!!! yum yum yum !!

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.
