I have an irl who knows me on here(if you’re seeing this hi queen) and I don’t think I can ever get on his nerves again bc he’ll pull up my posts and it’ll be really embarrassing
even from a platonic standpoint(to me they were in love but everyone is allowed to think what they like (but they were in love(I swear))) Steve leaving Bucky, his best friend since childhood who he was always been there for and who is the only person with remotely the same life experience, for a girl he knew for like a year is so fucking depressing like he fully gave up on Bucky and that feels so out of character but it’s somehow canon????
No thoughts, just Bucky caring alpine in his jacket
"binge-worthy show" man fuck that
i want my shows one episode followed by a whole ass week of going a little insane over it with the people on my phone, writing fics theorizing and going over every single scene through amazing gifs and meta, before the next ep drops and the cicle begins anew
With the Thunderbolts being promoted as the New Avengers, I wanted to see where they would "fit" with the original lineup.
Bob/Sentry - Bruce Banner/Hulk: Bob and Bruce share similar backgrounds and similar "uncontrollable" powers, except the other Thunderbolts seem much more sympathetic and understanding to Bob than the Avengers so hopefully he won't be done as dirty as the MCU did Hulk.
Ava/Ghost - Natasha/Black Widow: Despite there being an actual Red Room person on the team, I think Ava fits the technical slot of Black Widow more. She's good at sneaking into and out of places and can usually find a "last minute" escape for her teammates against the odds. She's reliable but, like Natasha in the earlier films, her teammates wondered about her ulterior motives. Like Nat, Ava also has difficult getting close to others, though in this case it's additionally because of her particle instability.
Alexei/Red Guardian - Thor: Both Alexei and Thor reminisce on their past conquests, holding them in high regard. They also feel a strong duty to their homeland. Like Thor, Alexei is the most openly friendly and carries humor similarly to how Thor would in previous films, sometimes at the expense of being tone deaf to his teammates. Thor was also from a different planet, though, so Alexei is slightly more socially aware.
John Walker - Tony Stark/Iron Man: Self-important, concerned with his own image, kind of a nuisance to deal with, but also "the best" at what he's supposed to do. Deals with a lot of personal issues that the other teammates don't realize (unless someone like Bucky reveals them). Often brings up useful information and strategy. Also, based on his turnaround from FatWS to Thunderbolts, he might end up having the most character redemption/transformation out of the group (depending on however long they intend to use these characters, which will hopefully be a good amount of time).
Bucky Barnes - Steve Rogers/Captain America: Bucky and Yelena were the biggest toss-up between Cap and Hawkeye, but I decided that Bucky is still essentially the main strategist and leader of the group. He's the one who got everyone to their location, he's a super-soldier who wants to se his talents to help but gets fed up by bureaucracy, and it's sort of understood in the group that he has his own private life that doesn't really overlap. He's shown along with Yelena to have the most competent leadership during the end credits, and he's the most well known (aside from John Walker) to the in-universe public, so he has the "oldest" reputation to deal with when he interacts with others.
Yelena - Clint Barton/Hawkeye: Yelena is the glue. Her and Bucky are shown as the most active leaders in the end credits, but she's not flashy in the way that Tony Stark was. She's exceptionally skilled and well-rounded in both strategy and fighting, but her strongest asset is being able to communicate with others. Clint was the most "human" of the group, and he helped keep all of his teammates' personalities from blowing up against each other. Every time he left, the Avengers imploded. Clint was also the most willing to offer second chances, and Yelena shares that willingness to risk herself to help someone else. Like Clint, she doesn't always immediately jump to fighting; she tries to reason with others if fighting isn't necessary. She's the most emotionally open; she realizes and begins to prioritize real relationships and a life outside of the job.
I love the sambucky fandom fr😭
It dont matter what information comes out, everyone manages to flip it into an even better head canon.
Oh turns out Bucky is no longer running for congress? Ok he didn’t want to be away from home anyways, he got a man to take care of.
if 2024 sam wilson met 2014 sam wilson i fear it would be one of the funniest things ever
2024 sam: “so yeah, we help save the world and overcome many challenges as well as become captain america and go on to inspire millions despite the odds. also steve is lowkey dead and nat sacrificed herself”
2014 sam:
2014 sam: and the guy who ripped out the steering wheel on the highway?
2024 sam: congress
lots of people saying bucky’s shame room would be torture as the winter soldier but it’s actually that one scene in civil war when he beats up steve cause he doesn’t recognize him
“THAT LITTLE GIRL KICK YO ASS HUH”
“AAAAAGHHHH”
-sam wilson & bucky barnes
