So I don't know if I missed something, but why are the Flag Smashers considered terrorists? Have they hurt people or is it based on the fact they busted up a bank and are disrupting supply lines? Do you think they are the villains in this story or are we being set up for a bait and switch?
The framing they've chosen to give John Walker does present some wrinkles in his character. He's not a Bad Guy . . . probably. I am still curious about whether they asked Sam to be Captain America or not.
That scene with the cops stopping Sam and Bucky was shot interestingly. The way they stopped their car was aggressive, but then they didn't have their hands on their weapons as they walked up. Their belts weren't that realistic, so I'm not sure whether to credit the cops' motivation or the studio being sloppy. Sam's face though. That was a tough scene.

Sam/Bucky has revived my fannish will to write
Date: 2021-03-27 06:46 pm (UTC)I was already shipping them before the show started, but I feel like after several years of false starts, I have finally gotten my fannish engine to re-engage. I'm so in for them.

Date: 2021-03-27 07:46 pm (UTC)Excellent! I am so excited for more Sam/Bucky content! I mean, I've been writing/reading for years now but I love when the boys get the good attention they deserve. I've been dragging along with a couple of fics for over a year now, and I think I've gotten a second wind too.
