Falcon skips the smartassery and gets to the point
hey have we talked about how ON THE SIDELINES OF THE BUCKY/SAM EPIC FEELS FIGHT, Sam is having his own allegorical fight? I mean, Sam stands for recovery and admitting your feelings matter and understanding your trauma—and this dude just goes, “FUCK THAT FEELINGS BULLSHIT.” Rumlow gets a line (heeeeeey Rumlow look he gets a characterization! way to go Rumlow!) here that explains his position and he’s Sam’s polar opposite. This is why he has to fight Sam, not Steve (besides the fact that, dude, he kicked your ass in the elevator and you had a dozen dudes and two tasers).
So, for those keeping score: that means Sam fights a fight about the allegorical difference between feeeeelings and repression and Steve fights a fight about loving his best dude. These are some disney motherfucking princesses, I am telling you.
I hope someone out there is drawing Sam and Steve as Disney princesses
