@cvansexual I didn't catch the context, but the girl in the TikTok is right: Steve will always be remembered as Cap, and Sam deserves respect because he honors the legacy Steve left behind.
@ElAveInmortal5 What I hate is how everyone whitewashes Bucky, when he himself abandoned Sam and joined a group—knowing how it would affect Sam—just to let a corrupt woman go free.
@RSwan205 I agree that some fans are toxic, but saying Sam is controlling makes no sense; Bucky took control of his own life and became a congressman. To me, he’s being manipulated more by the Thunderbolts.
@ElAveInmortal5 One example is Digital Circus; its fandom is one of the most toxic, but it's one of the best indie series. Just enjoy it. SamBucky is one of the best MCU couples.
@ElAveInmortal5 But 14 months went by; Bucky had plenty of time to take it down from the inside. Instead, he spent his time posing for cereal boxes and magazine covers, and at no point did it look like they were actually doing anything—as if Thuderbold, were just seeking fame.
@ElAveInmortal5 They know Bucky can have other friends, but it’s a different story for him to cast Sam aside—making room for a corrupt woman—just to team up with guys he’s only known for half a day.
@ElAveInmortal5 I like it better with Sam because it shows that Bucky can make other friendships—without being by Sam's side all the time—while still sharing a strong bond.
@ElAveInmortal5 I really dislike the Stucky pairing, mostly because they always make Bucky dependent on Steve and constantly by his side, as if Bucky’s whole world revolves around Steve.
@iree_rill@ElAveInmortal5 They ruined Bucky's character in *Thunderbolts* by letting Valentina go free and having him join the government; in the series with Sam, we see a more human Bucky who is adapting to the modern world—he doesn't have to be grumpy to be Bucky.
@ElAveInmortal5 @satnindoll Yeah, but that’s a ship; SamBucky fans can portray Sam and Bucky however they want, just like Stucky fans make Bucky independent of Steve.
