Rewatching the winter soldier for the bazillionth time and truly, what I love about it, are the “everyday” heroes who tried to do the right thing:

• Sam Wilson
• Sharon Carter
• The guy running and screaming “close the bay doors!”
• The air control techs who let Steve, Maria, and Sam in with a simple, yes, sure, please do come in, sir
• The guy who wouldn’t launch the helicarriers
• The members of the world security council who stood up to Pierce (not if it was your switch)
• All the people who were trying to be “the only air support captain Rogers has”

This movie was about every person having the same energy as Steve Rogers; every person can be a hero if they chooseto.

This movie is somehow more relevant in 2019 than it was in 2014.
