#marvel do the thing
“It’s really nice to see how much people started shipping Bucky and Sarah, because initially we broke a whole love story with them. There was a scene where Bucky knocks on the door and Sam is not there, in Louisiana, and she answers, and she looks at him and smiles, and he says “I’m Bucky”, and she’s like “I know who you are”. So, we broke the entire love story, and then, again, there’s just no way, like… Unless you’re gonna mangle the actual stories to force Bucky to be in Louisiana enough to make that happen, it just wasn’t working, but I think people felt it in the little bit of space that we had.”— Malcolm Spellman on Bucky and Sarah taking up a lot of hours in the writing realm (Showrunner Sessions with The Falcon and The Winter Soldier’s Malcolm Spellman – 40:00-41:00)
Ok well bucky CAN be in Louisiana enough for it to happen now that he’s free to do whatever the fuck he wants (wait out that NYC apt lease and move)
For everybody talkin’ ‘bout Bucky thinking about Steve’s long-dead mama…or thinking about Sam…or anybody else when he was smiling with his whole heart and CLEARLY had run his eyes over that beautiful Black woman standing right there? HERE is the link to the interview. Right from the mouth of the person who created the damn thing.
Want what your heart wants. Ship who you want. You can do that. But we saw what we saw *and so did you* unless you’re working with a massive case of Denial or something else.
They extensively talked about, wrote, broke, and shot scenes of Bucky Barnes and Sarah Wilson’s burgeoning love story. But things being what they were, couldn’t fit it into the 6 episode series that had already had its plot messed with by covid. 7 episodes would have made it official. They had 6, and they gave us a big old “hey! check this out!” in episode 5. And it took less than, what, a minute? Hell. YES.
Anyway, I sincerely hope that in Captain America 4, there is at least a little indication that this relationship is official and Sarah Wilson is the new Laura Barton, meaning that we know that at least one Avenger has a Home Life that they return to when they’re not Superhero-ing.
Maybe in a future Avengers flick, some of them visit Delacroix, stay with Bucky and Sarah for a night and have seasoned food out in their backyard.
