Such an impractical and illogical, yet somehow iconic and beautiful suit. It makes no sense... but I love it.

HOT TAKE: I have never liked this suit, even in the comics; imo it just seemed like a lazy recolour of his old outfit tbh. You might as well have a big sign that says PLACEHOLDER on it.



p.s Although that being said, I think that it would be greatly improved by giving him a Captain America-style helmet to better solidify him as the new Cap imo.

I will miss Steve Rogers in the MCU.. He's way more interesting than Sam Wilson.

ALOT OF PEOPLE THAT I KNOW WANTED BUCKY TO PICK UP THE SHIELD, THEY WERE PRETTY UPSET ABOUT IT, BUT I KEPT TELLING THEM "NO NO, IT'S OKAY! IT HAPPENED IN THE COMICS, AND IT COULD'VE BEEN A TOSS UP. EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ABOSLUTELY AMAZING!"
AND THEN WHEN HEARD THERE WAS A SHOW COMING OUT ABOUT SAM WILSON BECOMING THE CAPTAIN AMERICA, DURING A TIME PERIOD WHERE THE WORLD IS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY DIFFERENT AND NEW AND CHANGED. OOOOH MYYYY GOSH!!!! I WAS THRILLED!!!!! IT WAS THE MOST ANTICIPATED PART ABOUT PHASE 4 IN MY HOUSE. BUT, IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DISAPPOINTING.

THEY MISSED SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE THE SHOW BETTER.
fOR EXAMPLE....

1. BUILDING THE NEW WORLD AFTER THE SNAP -- THIS COULD'VE BEEN A BEEN THE HUGE RIPPLE EFFECT INTO MANY ASPECTS. GRAPPING THE AUDIENCE, A HUGE CHALLENGE AND OBSTACLE FOR SAM AND BUCKY, A SENSE OF HOPELESSNESS FOR ALL MANKIND. THEY COULD'VE DEVELOPED A WORLD THAT WAS DARK, VERY ADULT LIKE WITH VARIOUS UNDERGROUND GANGS AND VILLIANS ON THE RISE. THEY DID IN A SENSE BUT IT WAS VERY UNDERWELMING.

2. THE LEGACY OF THE SHIELD, INSTEAD OF RACE BIAS. -- THIS WAS THE PART THAT REALLY!!!!! MADE THE SHOW ABSOLUTELY UPSETTING AND UNWATCHABLE AT TIMES. AFTER 22 FILMS AND 10 YEARS OF WHAT THE SHIELD MEANT TO THE ENTIRE WORLD AND WEIGHT BEHIND IT. IT WAS THE GOLDEN TICKET INTO THE ENTIRE STORY, WE ALL KNOW THAT WEIGHT AND THAT UNBELIEVABLE RESPONSIBILITY THAT SHIELD CARRIES. NOW ADD ON THE WORLD GOING UNDER (IF THEY WOULD'VE BUILT IT CORRECTLY), YOU WOULD HAVE GIVEN SAM THE CHANCE TO BECOME A TRUE HERO, AND A TRUE RISING INSPRIRATION TO EVERYONE.

OVERALL....WITH THE EXAMPLES I'VE GIVEN ABOVE...THIS SHOW WAS ABSOLUTELY CRAPPY AND I COULD TELL THEY TRIED TO FOLLOW A TRENDY MAIN STREAMED MEDIA FOLLOWING, INSTEAD OF DEVELOPING A MASSIVE HIT AND AN AMAZING START TO A NEW LEADER OF THE AVENGERS.
