we don’t talk about sam wilson enough u know. he lost his best friend in combat and he retired from service to help other Vets readapt to civilian life. he put the wings back on and got back out there just bc steve, the asshole who kept lapping him on his morning runs, kinda needed someone’s help. he helps steve find bucky even though he knows it’s a potentially dangerous and futile mission and despite the fact his only interaction with bucky was getting pulled out of the sky by him, but he knows it means a lot to steve. when they find bucky, he doesn’t tread lightly and alienate him, he just immediately starts giving him shit and treating him like a person. and he names his little robot bird redwing and encourages the team to pet him. i love sam wilson, we should talk about him more.
