@karzkid6 Walker was in every respect the right person to carry the shield. For some reason, the writer made the best person for the role then decided portraying him as a villain. Bucky and Sam were so unnecessarily petty in this show.
@JayFivekiller When I was a teen, I worked at a chick fil a, we had a few people like this. The one I remember best would wipe some tables occasionally, but she was mostly busy with talking with customers and getting them anything they needed. This was maybe ten years ago
@JadeAtrophis I remember being in high school when I heard about those books coming out. I had recently gotten into both the expanded universe books and Star Wars fan fiction. I read a lot of both of those. By far the worst Star Wars writing I read was when I got my hands on Aftermath.
The US and Japan have the most underrated mutual obsession on the planet.
Japan worships American BBQ culture. Texas-style brisket restaurants in Tokyo have 3-hour waits. American Barbeque, a chain in Osaka, charges $80 a plate and sells out nightly. Japan's wagyu beef revolution was literally built by importing American cattle genetics in the 1800s.
Americans worship Japanese food culture in the exact same way. Omakase spots in NYC and LA run $300-500 a head with 6-week waitlists. Ramen went from a $7 lunch to a $22 "experience." Every serious American pitmaster now studies yakitori technique.
This tells you everything about why the US-Japan alliance is the most durable in geopolitics. Trade agreements and military bases hold countries together on paper. Genuine cultural admiration, where both sides look at the other's food and think "I want to be part of that," is what makes it stick.
A Japanese creator looking at a photo of guys grilling steaks in a backyard and saying "someday I'd like to join" is the most honest expression of soft power that exists. No government program produced that. A grill and 40 pounds of meat did.

Nachos were invented for Americans, by a cafe that catered to Americans. I admit it happened in Ciudad Juarez.
Hamburgers were invented by Americans - either a Texan in St. Louis or a Texan in Texas.
Creole food is American, and was developed out of almost nothing about 1830 when the governor of Louisiana called upon the black cooks of New Orleans to develop a cuisine good enough for the French merchants and administrators to stay here.
Cajun food is American, and was developed out of whatever the hell was in the swamp at the time.
Asian Fusion is American and is a testament to Californian ingenuity.
Sandwiches weren't invented by Americans, but were certainly perfected by us. No other nation has a sandwich breadth as vast as ours, from cheesesteak to reuben to hot brown to club. I've had sandwiches in 8 European nations and they were all weaker.
Southern food is American and ought to be renowned world wide.
Tex Mex is American, developed by Hispanics in America.
