My dad’s a Pentecostal minister, meaning that he’s full of charisma. If he’s telling a story about Noah’s ark, you best know each tiger is going to be having their own little conversation and narrative.

So I’m getting a little worried.
Sam has not had the development that I thought he was going to get by now. Im holding out hope that this was by design, and that the final two episodes will be Sam-centric because as of now, Sam has definitely taken a back seat to Bucky, Zemo, and even Walker. Sam is supposedly the main character and yet as of episode 4, he has stayed mainly calm and composed this entire time. We’ve already seen this Sam. We have seen this Sam in the past few movies. I want to see something more from the man. As of now, we have seen Bucky at his weakest, we have seen his anger, his pain, his struggles…that what makes him so engaging to watch. That what makes any character engaging. That is what makes them relatable. Why haven’t we seen that with Sam yet? What exactly makes Sam tick? What gets him sad? Who is this man? I already know Sam a nice guy who is an extremely loyal friend. I want more. Why does he feel like a side kick to Bucky? Even some of the camera angles and character placements have Sam nearly off screen or behind Bucky. Why isnt there more scenes of Sam fighting versus all the other characters? His fight scenes have been extremely limited in comparison to Bucky and that really freaking problematic.
Are we going to flash back to Sam past like Bucky, or are we going to get cool calm and collected Sam all the way through? Will Sam mentioned his past partner at all, or will he just end up being the guy who calms down Bucky? Sam is way too much of a passive character for my liking. Things are happening around him and he barely gives his input. This is sidekick behavior. Man do I want him to really put his foot down, have conviction, have some passion, show some real emotions rather than just looking worried all the time. And I don’t mean him act out of character since he is generally a level headed guy. But even level headed characters have their buttons, have their limits, and if you are the main character than your character should be facing those limits because otherwise, the story will be very uninteresting because the character never changes. I mean, we just witness Bucky really breaking down and that is amazing and makes you feel for him. Sam has yet to move me on anything and we have yet to get inside his head. Walker has shown more sides of him than Sam! I’m worried because I expressed similar discomfort with Finn character in star wars the last Jedi and they ended up disappointing me big time with the last movie. They go with introducing a black character with a lot of potential but as the story goes on, his character never truly develops or given the screen time to just be them. Im going to be really peeved if the black character is once again, the most misused character in the god dang series. I’m going to hold out hope for the last 2 episodes. Please do not disappoint.
Also, it doesn’t make sense that Sam disregarded the deaths of innocent people and viewed Karli as a kid. I had a hard time wrapping my head around his logic. If the girl is okay with bombing innocent people, she is obviously too far gone to reason with. Yet Sam wanted to give her a chance to talk it out. Doesnt make any sense. They shouldnt have had her bombing buildings full of people if they wanted to go this route.
It’s happening again. Disney is sidelining a black main character in his own narrative (we were promised the Sam & Bucky show yet what we’re getting is the Bucky/Zemo/John Walker show with the white male characters getting all the emotional depth and intereating storylines while Sam isn’t getting any new development at all)
People are complaining about WB being racist but Disney is exactly the same and has obviously not changed at all since the John Boyega/Finn fiasco

Poe the noble archer & Finn the Dalish mage
Poe comes from a noble family in Orlais. He rebelled against his roots and travels together with a small group of friends and fights for better lives of elves in the Empire. He still wears family armor, because he knows it brings them shame in the court.
Finn is a healer mage from a small Dalish clan. He left his family to explore old elven ruins and gather knowledge. While away from his clan he sees how terribly are city elves treated and decided to join Poe’s vigilante group.
