Sam Wilson Deserves all the Love

God Damn it - why doesn’t Sam Wilson get more love?  He’s important and I’m gonna keep saying it ‘til you all hear me.

Did you know/reasons Sam is awesome:

One of the greatest uses of soundtrack in the mcu is definitely in the bank vault scene in catws.

Bucky’s introduced in that movie is a villain; a terrifying, mysterious killer that is strong enough to catch Steve’s shield and throw it back so hard Steve’s body slides with the force of it. He’s someone who’s very description makes Natasha Romanoff gasp. He’s someone who shoots people through walls. He’s shown as an unstoppable force.

His theme music fits this villainous description of him. It’s harsh and weird, screeching noises and thrumming beats that continue the mindset that The Winter Soldier will always find you and he’ll always end up getting you. The Winter Soldier’s theme is almost as terrifying as he is.

Then you have Bucky’s reveal, with his big scared eyes and Steve’s shocked face as you’re shown who he really is. Bucky’s arc shifts at that point, completely spinning on its axis to show Bucky as a victim rather than a villain. This fully happens during the bank vault scene. When the scene starts out, Bucky’s violent and unstable. The people working on him seem almost scared of him. Everyone appears at least a little intimidated except for Alexander Pierce (who actually hits Bucky).

Pierce’s very presence continues Bucky’s decent from Villainy to Victimhood. His body language changes, he shrinks up into himself. He asks a timid question, “The man on the bridge, who was he?” And Pierce gives him an answer that skirts around the truth, like an adult who’s just been asked a really tough question by a child. Bucky’s not satisfied, saying, “I knew him.” Which prompts Pierce to try a bit of motivation, give Bucky a compliment. Then Bucky says the saddest thing he could possibly say.

When Bucky says, “BUT I knew him,” he sounds like an incessant toddler. No! I don’t want to kill him! I knew him! Who is he? Tell me! In this scene, we’re shown how Bucky’s been treated for years upon years. We’re shown the extent of his memory loss directly before we’re shown the method by which his memories are taken from him. We start off with a scared, but rather scary and powerful Bucky and we end up with someone who’s shaking and screaming as his brain is being electrocuted while his abuser walks away unaffected.

It’s only then, when Bucky’s reduced to nothing but someone that’s afraid and being tortured does The Winter Soldier theme music kick back in. It comes in directly at one of the harshest-sounding, creepiest parts when it does too. That’s the movie screaming, “THIS IS YOUR VILLAIN. HE’S NOT A VILLAIN AT ALL!”

“The serum amplifies everything that is inside, so good becomes great; bad becomes worse. This is why you were chosen. Because the strong man who has known power all his life, may lose respect for that power, but a weak man knows the value of strength, and knows… compassion.

Whatever happens tomorrow, you must promise me one thing. That you will stay who you are, not a perfect soldier, but a good man.”
