I’m very quickly realizing that only “example” people have provided to me of Sam supposedly being written horribly as a character is him…having sympathy for the dead displaced teenager that was being denied resources by the government and turned to extremism in FATWS. That’s it.

Idk call me crazy but if people are so “starved” for original movies with artistry and craft, you probably wouldn’t have to beg them to watch one.

This is partially why the blaming him for Marvel “not being woke” seems stupid (examples of blatant colorism and ignorance aside). It’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what’s going on fueled by a desire for an easy and obvious target because the truth is more annoying.

Good point. Not a unique point tho.

“When I was 8-15” so 5 years ago? Post pandemic? Anyone else notice that the people that talk like this always happen to practically still be children.

Not a cult though.

But sure…this mindset is the studios fault. It’s their fault for not showing Sam being capable with the shield or whatever.

Like I said the hoops suddenly appeared.

The MCU’s downfall happening with the decision to not focus on white men isn’t a “coincidence”

Remember when Sam Fans spent all that time bitching about Captain Carter because the Captain America pfp was changed for 5 days?

MCU fans wanted to talk like shareholders (getting none of the money btw) and then get mad when the studio is making decisions for shareholders.

Sam Wilson is being addressed as Captain America in the same sentence as John Walker… The man whose arm he had to break to get back the shield he had just used to kill someone in public.

Fans sabotaged Sam so fucking hard in the MCU that it isn’t even funny.

Nobody thought Sam was this horribly written character UNTIL he became Captain America.
