So, You've Got This Character, Right? And He's Introduced In A Supporting Role, But He's Interesting

So, you've got this character, right? And he's introduced in a supporting role, but he's interesting and compelling and has potential as a lead. He leads his own subplots every now and then, but there's room for more.

Then, over the decades, he gets more and more neglected. His characterisation and visual portrayal somehow gets worse and even more racist despite supposedly improving attitudes. But what's this? 2014? And he's captain America. He is declared to be important, a main character. Finally, a chance to shine!

Of course, then, the avengers stories don't focus on him and only some of the writing is good... then they discard him after the secret wars stuff. But what's this? 2022? He's back? He's cap again?

Well, not really. Steve's cap. Sam is off in the background somewhere, in an underwhelming solo run, sequestered from most other comics.

But what if we turn to live action? Sam is introduced as a supporting character but he's fun and he's interesting. What's this? 2019? We're told directly that sam is important, that Sam's going to matter.

2 years later we get a series that's a mixed bag, with his co star getting the more fawning writing and the overwhelming majority of the audience response. But don't worry, he's getting a film.

4 years later, the delayed film comes out. Its release is tarnished by a bonkers decision to adapt sabra and by a reactionary, anti-woke media ecosystem. Despite this, it does well financially and is pretty good. Sam wasn't focused on in the marketing, and his co star bears more thematic focus in the film, but it's promising. Sam as the lead. Sam as important.

2 months later. They say nah again. He doesn't matter. He isn't important.

It'll be another year at least before we see him again. In a film where he is very clearly not going to be the lead.

By the way Alfred would show up to an official function wearing a bucket hat with the Canadian flag on it. England then shows up with a Scotland themed fedora. Because they’re their hats

The time right after FATWS, in which Bucky plausibly lives in Delacroix and joins Sam on his missions and helps Sarah with the business and plays fun uncle to Cass and AJ and makes old man friends with Carlos and everyone is happy and the SamBucky possibilities are endless, is my 2012 Avengers Tower with Clint in the vents

thinking about careers and now I'm sad...I'm imagining nations wanting to have careers of their own, to be doctors, engineers, CEOs, artists...but they have to do their nation job :( of course they love their people, but being born into such a responsibility would really suck (to me anyway)

I get that, I do headcanon though that some nations just said:

"Fuck you, I'm going to become a construction worker for a lifetime, see you never because you'll probably be dead by the time I get back."

And did just that. I also headcanon that the majority have several degrees and trained skillsets, I see Arthur being a very well trained Nurse/Medic and having gotten several bachelor degrees in the humanity (?) field out of curiosity (Philosophy, History (There was a time BEFORE him afterall, AND there's no way he can have known every single thing happening in history throughout his life at once and I see him being curious about what he's missed), etc.)

Alfred's got so many engineering and science degrees and I see Matthew being super invested in marine biology and GEOLOGY particularly, so while they have their nation job, I think many chose to say 'up yours' and went and lived a career anyway, maybe helping a bit with nation work on the side, but not a full-time thing
