Cannot believe it's canon that Sam Wilson finds the most serious person around him, teases and prods at them until they smile, and then they fall in love with him. Sunshine personified. Makes everyone's lives better. 15/10 would also fall in love
Man, I get that canonically Alfred can be a bit childish, but the amount of straight-up condescending infantilization I see him get hit with by a lot of fans is, uh, pretty grating.
I'm happy to have this conversation in public.
There is a big difference between working WITH the government and working FOR the government.
And Sam knows this. He’ll work with whoever he has to if it means he can keep his ear to the ground and help as many people as possible. He’s got no love for the government, but he also knows it’s better to be in the know than left in the dark. It’s why he has people in the government who he can trust, who can keep an eye on shady activity or politicians while he plays nice with them.
He’s not a fool. And he’ll be damned if he lets himself or any of the avengers become government pawns. And this isn’t anything new. He’s been fighting this fight against the government well before he became captain America.
And this captain is not about to veer off course now. His head is in the fucking game. Don’t. Fuck. With. Sam. Wilson.
Actually that no punctuation plot hole ooc wattpad fanfic written by that 12 year old will ALWAYS be better than character ai. And I love that 12 year old btw

THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HIM WHEN HE DOESN'T KNOW IT 🥹❤️
More MCU fans need to understand that the extent of anti-black racism that exists around Sam Wilson as a character colors every scene he’s in, every way he’s talked about, how he’s perceived by fans, and how he is used by the media company as a character.
There is no way for fans of Sam Wilson to view these sleights as innocent or contextual - for example, Lexi being an ignorant buffoon in general — because the severity of the hate this character faces means there are people who cannot read that Lexi is intended to be a buffoon. They will actually look at that scene and go oh Lexi is right, Sam is a bad character and this reinforces the beliefs that I already had. They can’t look at the context that the Thunderbolts are not intended to be taken seriously as the New Avengers because the point is that Sam is the only one who has real legitimacy- they will look at the movie and go, John Walker really IS the better Captain America and Sam Wilson is trash. And when you combine it Sam constantly being put in the background despite being Captain America, it reinforces that Sam is not as important as Steve Rogers, that his position is tenuous, that he isn’t the backbone of the MCU now. These strategies end up with real harm to the presentation of Black characters in the MCU. And Sam fans are rightfully pissed off that this keeps happening because we see the social media posts trashing Sam. It’s a real phenomena, not just ship wars or fannish defense.
I JUST NEED TO DRAW THIS
