Sam and Bucky have a great dynamic! Like the two of them play off of each other so incredibly well. I think in part it’s because Anthony Mackie is an amazing actor and has so much chemistry with other people. Like he’s sooo good at playing off other people.
I hate new Captain America. He needs to go NOW. No actually he needs to go yesterday. I’m still watching the episode but omg every time he’s on screen I want to punch him in the face.
I’m trying sooo hard not to gets my hopes up about The Falcon and Winter Soldier because I’ve been burned by Marvel soooo badly with IW and Endgame but omg it looks like fun. It looks like so much fun. And I can’t wait to see what they do with Sharon’s character and Bucky’s character, but mostly I find myself excited for Sam.
Kay I was right to be excited because I loved episode one!!! Still waiting on Sharon Carter to appear but omg it was so good and I really liked how much screen time they gave Bucky and Sam and the way that Bucky’s part was flashback heavy but also showed him trying to be in the present and make connections like his therapist told him too. And that Sam’s had no flashbacks and we got to meet Sarah and the nephews and see him kick ass.
I despise knockoff Captain America. He just feels slimy and gross and like he’s going to try to Fuck up everything important about Captain America. And like we don’t know anything about the dude besides the fact that he gave off a “Imma be a little bitch” vibes.
I kinda liked the fact that there was a hint of bitterness in Sam’s conversation with Rhodes about the decision to bring everyone after five years instead of just reversing the original snap because it was a DUMB decision and we are seeing the consequences of it, in Sam missing his nephews growing up, in him not having income for five years making it impossible to get a loan at the bank, in the tension in his relationship with Sarah. It hurts to realize how much was missed, how much was lost.
Sam was fucking epic! I don’t know what I expected from his character in the Falcon and Winter Soldier but in one episode they showed so many different facets of his character. And his relationship with Sarah is so interesting to me because you can feel the pain between them, the hurt but also the love. He’s trying so hard and like I just want more. More of Sam being a family man. More of Sam being kickass. More of Sam’s sarcasm and wit. And I desperately want to see some romance for Sam. I’m just buzzing sooo much and am sooo excited for this show!!!!!
Also I have so many feelings about the scene with the banker.
I liked how Bucky’s therapist was so no bullshit. I liked that she didn’t let him hide away or fuck around and got him to open up… sort of. Like I’ve seen a post annoyed about it but I don’t think that Bucky needs to be coddled and I don’t think that coddling will help him deal. Her approached worked and I’m excited to see more of their interactions.
I kinda really like the idea of Bucky and Leah being together. And Idk why I like so much I’m not sure I thought that they had a lot of chemistry but they just had so much potential and I adore the idea of a get to know you game with drinking and battleship on a first date and him bringing her flowers… I wish we had got to see some of her answers not just his but I, I liked it so much. It felt so human and awkward and like the beginning of something special if they let it be…
Ok I honestly didn’t love the finale. Like Sam’s speech was great, good job buddy! But like Bucky and Sam barley talked and the entire episode was based in their friendship or friendship with Steve.
Can someone please write a fan fiction with Bucky, Ayo, and Shuri please!!! Like Bucky definitely sees Shuri as his little sister and she is always messing with him and Ayo is just a mom in the corner. Please someone!!!
Love Ayo and Shuri, they are queens. But the fact that somebody in charge in Wakanda had a literal disARM feature on Buckys arm that they didn’t tell him about must be so hurtful to him. Obviously he loved it there and they helped him but seeing this you know they never fully trusted him.
- Bucky bring up your damn sister, you and Sam can bond over that
- THAT FIRST SCENE!! Bucky deserves a good cry!
- Sam way to use your job to help Karli!
- Bucky can use a smart phone?
- Bucky can speak Wakandan?
- Soundtrack: depressing end credit song got me man
- The fight scenes in this episode
- I want more Sarah Wilson content please and thank you
This episode! WTF WTF! Bucky crying and smiling, that boy deserves the world! Also Ayo and Bucky friendship, I want more! Sam you are such a good bro, surrounded my dumb asses. The scenes had with Karli was so gooood! I guess Zemo is gone, that’s cool. And MF John Walker, he is psychotic now so that’s cool. Did did he decapitate that guy? Also RIP Hoskins you were a real one ☝️. I want more Sarah Wilson please! Also I feel like Bucky is due a metal breakdown but. We better get a Sam and Bucky heart to heart before this is all over. Can they go steal the shield now? And go hang out on the boat?
IM SAD. This episode brought stuff about Bucky that I didn’t really think of before. One of those is just how much the Winter Solider was passed around and bought and sold like a weapon. It just makes me so sad.
- Bucky I am low key worried about him now tbh, Sam you are being a great friend
- Umm Sam call Sarah back this instant she deserves that! Also if we don’t see her next episode I will riot!!
- Sharon!!! I love what they are doing with her!!
- Zemo will backstab them I feel it, also he knows things so maybe Sputnik will come into play

Omg Zemo is such a great character/villain I’m really glad they are reusing him! I definitely don’t trust him though and how happy he looked when Bucky was beating people up rubbed me the wrong way. Also Sam being like super uncomfortable with the situation and checking in on Bucky, good job buddy! Sharon, my sweet badass lady you were great and your outfit was on point! Is Wakanda mad at Bucky? Is he in trouble? My man can be running from more countries at the moment he is busy! Also I thought it was going to be Shuri so I’m a bit disappointed. I guess they do have beef with Zemo, I’d be mad too.
So I read this article and it stirred up some thoughts! So if Karli is kind of a mixture of characters like this article suggests and at the end of FATWS she is actually not evil/or being controlled by the organization she joins the young avengers!! I also think this because they choose a young person to play her not a middle aged women that would expect with just a gender bend of the characters! Just my thoughts, do you think Karli is is related to Bucky? I would love to hear your ideas/thoughts!
- The way Bucky is so sensitive about Steve I feel like he has to be dead! And like if he was alive Steve would walk his breaking bone ass down and kick Walkers butt so.
- Bucky hates Red Wing which I love (RIP Red Wing)
- During the therapy session Sam did know some of the activities that they did which calls back to his job at the VA
- Bucky was a bit shook when Isaiah talked about The Winter Solider during the Korean War
- I miss Sarah Wilson, bring her back to me!!

OK Ok Ok!!! There is so much to unpack!! First off sad Bucky sitting on his floor and I understand why is he so mad at Sam for what he did, but I also understand Sam. Why is John Walker and his girlfriend are cute though. I hate him. Least Bucky and Sam are on the same page about him though. Bucky asking if the girl was ok . ISAIAH MF BRADLY!!! Like I knew he was coming but like what??!?? We better get more of him!! Buckys voice breaking during the therapy session with Sam . Also as much as Sam is annoyed/dislikes Bucky he is also like making sure he is ok, much to Buckys dismay. Sam was great in this episode!! Ugh I love him! Next episode Zemo!! I’m excited to see how Bucky reacts to him, what if Zemo tries to use the words?! Can’t wait for next week!!
- I think Steve is dead? They talk about him in past tense so I assume so.
- WE GOT THE BARNES FAMILY MENTION!! ugh that makes me so happy, he says that he has a sister so is Rebecca still alive?!
- We went to the Smithsonian! Not really a field trip, kind of depressing but our boy RHODY was there! Also was Bucky even invited to this event?
- Kudos to the director/writers of this show for showing Bucky in therapy. Action/superhero movies have a long history of ignoring trauma it’s refreshing to see it in not only Bucky but also in the way Sam holds himself. Thank you!
- Sam’s Fam! I love Sarah with my whole heart!! Sad that Mr. and Mrs. Wilson are dead . Their boat is so cute though!!
- badass moments ☑️
- Soundtrack ☑️
- funny moments ☑️
- “I’m James Bucky Barnes” ☑️
- Everyone here can speak multiple languages, fun!
- Excited to see more from Sam’s nephews!!
- Buckys journal
Omg this was so much more then I was expecting when they said they would do a deep dive into these characters! I think I was a little disappointed at first when the boys didn’t meet up but I’m glad that they gave them the entire episode to breathe and so we can figure out where they are mentally and how they feel about things. The ending was so good! And I love the credits! I’m very curious on who texts who or whatever brings them together and how do they get the shield back?
