Bucky is so lost in finding his own identity that he relies on Steve, even when he isn’t physically there, to help him remember who he is.In CAPTAIN AMERICA: SENTINEL OF LIBERTY and CAPTAIN AMERICA: SYMBOL OF TRUTH, Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson went their separate ways, each carrying a shield and the mantle of Captain America. “The book worked for him, so I figured it would work for me," he says. He inherits Steve’s red book to catch up on everything he’s missed. It’s exemplified in these powerful words Bucky throws at Sam: “If he was wrong about you, then that means he was wrong about me too.”īucky religiously follows Steve’s example to try and adapt to contemporary life. In The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Bucky attempts to redeem his crimes and be a good man. Steve didn’t give up on Bucky, which is the only reason Bucky hasn’t given up on himself. Steve was the only person who believed that Bucky was a good man, and he nearly died to prove it in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. On the other hand, the shield feels like family to Bucky, as it represents everything he idolized: the man beneath the uniform, Steve.īefore taking the super-soldier serum in Captain America: The First Avenger, Erskine (Stanley Tucci) makes Steve Rogers promise “that you will stay who are you, not a perfect soldier, but a good man.” Steve not only upheld that promise, but he also instilled it into Bucky as he supported (and fought for) the good man he was underneath his imperfections as the Winter Soldier. The Winter Soldier is part of Captain America’s legacy. Bucky doesn’t hesitate he knows that the shield belongs to Sam and that Sam is more Captain America than he ever could be. Steve passes the shield to Sam in Avengers: Endgame and once Bucky has pried the weapon from Walker’s arm, he returns it to Sam. The association between Sam Wilson and Captain America is something that both Steve and Bucky observe. That’s how Sam and Steve became friends in the first place, after all: they connected over their similarities especially their time in the army. He’s honest, compassionate, patient, reliable, strong, and just. Yet, Sam embodies everything that Captain America should be. In spite of their similarities, Sam is conflicted about taking up the mantle of Captain America as his country doesn’t reflect his identity it’s a white man’s America. Sam says, “she’s just a kid” about Karli, echoing Steve’s reaction to young, troubled Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) in Captain America: Civil War. In some instances, there are even parallels in their dialogue. Karli tells him that he’s “hopelessly optimistic,” a quality Captain America was renowned for possessing, even mocked for it. Sam tries to reason with Karli (Erin Kellyman) despite being told repeatedly that she’s a lost cause. Sam possesses Cap’s unwavering optimism and ability to see the good in everyone, even the enemy. Falcon is part of Captain America’s legacy. ![]()
