I wonder how they're gonna interact, like what kind of dynamic would exist between a nerdy high school kid and a back-from-retirement veteran? I have no idea and I'm so excited
I think Steve not considering Sam’s race is actually a great thing, not a flaw. As a black man I find it quite irritating how often people ask or assume things based on my race. Steve saw Sam for what he was, a good man. As MLK said, “ I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” Steve truly exemplified that.
Yeah but this ain't what they want, they always wanna make everything about race and gender. I got called a delusional racist once when I said, that I don't look at skin color, nationality and gender when talking to people. I just call people a man or woman and by their names and not like them, calling everyone by their skin color first smh... all this hypocrisy, hate, double standards, immediately making every lil thing about race and politics, this nonsense is so annoying🚮
It’s weird how they’re kinda opposites from their hero’s. Peter is enhanced like cap and doesn’t really need tech if he works hard enough. Falcon is a guy in a suit who needs the tech to act but it doesn’t make him any less of a hero.
@@ioahII so basically the bare minimum like with Captain America he doesn't really need much health The only high-tech thing you have and was the magnet for his shield
When Tony and Steve first met they bickered constantly and were pretty much frenemies for a couple movies. Based on civil war, I’d say Peter and Sam are on the same path.
Spiderman is considered an international criminal in Spider-Man 2. I think the tables will be turned, where Sam will be fighting Spiderman in the name of the law. Sam has no reason to like Spiderman since first time they met, he fought. I think Sam will eventually realize Spiderman is a good guy, but he will not initially feel that way
The new uniform is probably my favourite of the new ones, the cowl is comic accurate without being too goofy, the white makes it unique, can't think of anything bad to say about it. Its just cool as fuck

@Kristopher Prime I think the racism part is fitting in the plot tbh, I think it’s just the fact that so many other pieces of media try to do the same makes the racism plot lines less interesting
@Kristopher Prime The show would be awful and unrealistic if they ignored the racism Sam would very much face as a black man. It was completely necessary. You basically want the show to be different. Something...boring.
The upside of the very white cap suit is that it is highly visible in darker scenes. It pops out amongst the what does with only dim lighting, so directors have liberty to get a little more creative with shadows.
What I really love about the mcu is that they keep evolving the suits. They could have just kept Ironman's suit that takes a huge machine to put on the whole time, but each movie it gets more advanced until he uses nanotechnology.
What kind of sours that evolution for me, is that if they were for arguments sake to design a suit that would be considered "perfect", they would redesign it for the next movie. It's not that the plot of the next movie would require a suit upgrade, but a significant source of revenue for these movies comes from toy sales. Especially with the more popular characters, the film studios would expect suit upgrades for every movie to enable them to create and sell new toys.
The evolution of Tony's suits has really been a subplot through the whole MCU. Every time he strives to have a suit with him wherever he goes, available at any moment. No suit better emphasizes this than the mark 42 which was explicitly stated to be his intention honestly. But his goal was completed with infinity war's nanosuit which really should have been evidence of his imposing death as Iron Man's (as a suit) journey to perfection had been completed.
Seeing Sam as cap for the first time really gave me "wow this is like a comic book brought to life" and I really dig that. Can't wait to see Jane foster as Thor now
@@oscarrenouf lol you are being generous with meh. I think this far her character in the MCU is really bad and one note. I really did love Jane Foster Thor run and hope they can turn MCU Jane into Comic Jane
The MCU is like a never ending story in a good way. WandaVision is a really good show, even The Falcon and The Winter Soldier proves to be excellent. Both of those series turned out great without being movies, but both still connect with the films.
The MCU is becoming the comics without having to retcon shit and restore the status quo all the time. Characters die and stay dead, and their arcs have an actual ending (for now, at least). I love it.
That funky editing is too good, you're making me want stuff I didn't even know I wanted. Sam and Pete need a reunion. I mean, I'm sure words were shared at Tony's funeral, like, everyone got to speak to each other at least once, right, but I want to see it on screen now.
Man I actually really hate the way the MCU is doing Spider-Man,is like they never read a damn comic,that isn’t Spider-Man,that’s not how he’s supposed to act and he never was friends with Tony Stark in the comics,Tony was never he’s mentor(Only in the ultimate comics but it was more of a Genius Mentor thing) I hate it so much how they made Spider-Man(A guy who has been his own hero since 1962) freaking Iron Boy Jr,freaking hell
@@WoopyG He ain't Iron Boy Jr... You clearly missed the point of both movies. Homecoming was him learning he didn't need Iron Man's help to be a hero, and could do it on his own. Far From Home was him learning he didn't need to be the next Iron Man, only himself, Happy litteraly stated that. God, you people want to hate MCU Spidey so much, you ignore the literal plots of each film
Much like cap and tony were basically the beating heart of the MCU, I want Sam and Peter to be of that kind of importance going forward. I just hope they make it work and I really hope that’s what they’re going with moving forward as they are some of the strongest characters in their collection rn.
I think that it’s really interesting how both Peter and Sam are honoring the people who they looked up to but in different ways. Sam is literally becoming the next Captain America and Peter is taking up Tony’s role as the worlds greatest superhero. Both are even going through troubles that will affect how people look at them, Sam being black while also being Cap and Peter literally being accused of murder. I hope they interact more, it will be really interesting to see their interactions.
@Oni Chan He can come close but he will never be better than the OG(Hot Take:Bucky deserved the shield for 1 good reason,he was Steve’s friend since they were kids)
Sam’s suit kinda needs to be modded a bit I mean his ears are also really exposed and so many people could I dunno, like shoot his ears or something idk (Edit) I was pretty much joking about the ears thing, calm down
Ears being exposed? That's the comic book look though... Why are people bitching about believability in this universe? It's clear that the writers will find a way to make it work.
Didn't Steve's helmet have his ears sticking out? Didn't Black Widow and Hawkeye have zero head gear to protect themselves? Why is everyone all of a sudden pointing out the lack of safety gear in marvel? Besides Sam literally has vibranium wings with a suit most likely fitted with vibranium weaving, and a pretty much indestructible shield. This is a comic book film😂
Can I just take a minute to commend The Falcon and the Winter soldier for being incredibly well put together. The show might not be amazing. But given that it had an entire arc ripped out due to the pandemic. It functions surprisingly fucking well.
Apart from the flagsmashers and the rushed finale, which got screwed up thanks to this pandemic, the show was great imo. Without those two, the show would've been perfect.
I had no problem with any of the White Captain America suits. They looked good, they're comic accurate, and neither looked like Halloween costumes. Also, Sam Wilson looks GREAT in his Captain America suit. No problem at all.
Honestly I think this is the best suit we’ve gotten in the MCU period. I like flashy super suits, but most of the ones we’ve gotten have been muted and dull looking. Even Spider-Man’s suit never feels real or tangible, always covered in CG. The new Captain America suit looks amazing.
Quentin was narcissistic, he didn't really wanted to be a hero like Iron Man but more the fame of it an illusion if you will. John is not ment to be Capt. America because he is the Perfect Soldier loyal and brave but not a very noble person, his heart was in the right place but his mentality and beliefs are not. (he has more in common with Astartes from Warhammer than Captain America.)
@@hyperfire1134 My problem is they never adress the problems with Starks legacy. Spider-Man Far From Home is not a good Spider-Man movie, it's a good movie but not a good spidey film. It doesn't address Iron-Man or Tony Starks flaws or that Edith is basically what Hydra was trying to do in Captain America The Winter Soldier. Far From Home suffers from the problem of riding off Iron Man's boots, in an interview they literally said Spider-Man was more of an Iron Man JR than SpiderBoy -_- it's like the writers didn't know what Spider-Man even was and only watched an episode of a cartoon.
@@segaspice4062 my main problem with that criticism is it doesn't really conflict with anything, bringing up the fact that Edith is literally the same thing that Hydra did but from the good guys perspective is not very much of a point because we knew Tony was like that; part of his disagreement with Cap in Civil War was based in their different ways on how to protect the world, he always had the perspective that he was the one to "privatize world peace", (if not him then his successor) this line of thinking is the reason why Ultron happened, this would only be a problem if it goes against his pre-established ideals which it doesn't
Really enjoyed the writing in this vid! I never actually made the comparison between Sam and Peter inheriting a certain type of mantle. Constructively, I did find the editing to be a bit choppier in this than your other videos. Pumped to see whats next!
Walker bullys? He's getting bullied if you mean that. He just wants to team up with sam and bucky but they don't like him for something that's not his fault. To me he's the more human version of steve. Steve is almost perfect, walker is flawed. Walker is a good man but not as good as steve. After his friend dies he loses his morals which i think most people would. Steve didn't. His story was doomed to go down the road from the beginning, he could not live to the expectations even tho he already was a war hero. In this way it was "good" that sam had too much doubt to pick up the shield at first, this could've been him. It's just he was chosen by steve to be the next cap. He talked with bucky and then had another 70 to think about it. Sam didn't need to trust himself the man that was never wrong about anything saw he was the right man.
Genuinely some of the best edited and most thoughtful content on the platform. Always look forward to hearing your takes. And you were so right with the character arcs. I'm inclined to trust you.
The editing in this video is seriously _top notch._ In general, the edits on this channel are _always_ well done but I especially love what was done in this video. Your essays are always beautiful. They feel less like"essays" and (for me, at least) more akin to poetry. The way you explain these characters and their motivations are deeply introspective, and in many cases you even point out things that most other TH-camrs fail to notice. As for what I think of Sam's new suit? Admittedly I wasn't initially a fan. I acknowledge the comic book accuracy of it, but for me it didn't immediately translate well to live action. It seemed bulky and campy and reminded me a little _too_ much of the CW's version of the "Kid Flash" suit. I also wasn't a fan of the color scheme with it's majority white (which seemed counterproductive as it will be hard to keep clean) but as an artist myself, I can see why the comics designed it with so much white, as it contrasts nicely against Sam's skin tone, just like the blue created a nice contrast against Steve's. Blue/Red against Sam would probably not translate well in night scenes. (My skin color is about the same as Anthony Mackie's, and certain colors tend to "blend in" with my skin in older photographs taken in darker, shadowy areas)
I really love Sam's Cap suit tbh! The abundance of white makes it stand out, as you said, and the choice of going for a brighter shade of blue really cements the brighter future Sam Wilson as Captain America will usher in.
Your videos give me the capacity to think about MCU Spider-Man in ways I normally don't and it's a good thing. I still think as it stands Raimi Spider-Man is king but now I'm starting to think about what the MCU actually needs Spider-Man to be in its own interpretation rather than just being 100% comic accurate.
The white part of Sam's new suit, that's right above the goggle, and to the side of the head should be a bit smaller, but other than that, it's pretty awesome
I gotta say man, ive been watching for a long time, and your editing skills? out of this world. They've gotten so much better, The way you splice together your videos to bring out the parallels and the full emotions of theses moments genuinely almost brought me to tears at moments. Bravo. Love your video as always -looking forward to the next one.
cool thing about new captain is how he's a bit of iron man and captain america now...i love this deep dive into their legacies. what a crazy parallel that spider man with his powers would be trying to earn his place as a hero and prove he's a hero with or without his suit...meanwhile falcon is trying to earn find his place as the hero, without the powers.
Crazy thing is. I actually think Steve did know the implications of giving Sam the Shield. Think about it, Steve has been around in the modern world for a while now. He was still out of it, in Winter Soldier, but started to fully integrate by the time of Civil War. Then he went on the run and got to see the world from outside the perspective of a shiny SHIELD base or an Avengers HQ. Then the snap happened and Steve spent 5 years learning about the world and seeing how different groups interacted. Pretty sure he saw the kind of world that could be when people come together. By that point, Steve understood the modern world and therefore what kind of Captain America it needed. To Steve, Sams story is not so different from him in a way. Steve was a weak and sick kid, that everyone looked down on and pitted. He wasn't even given the basic right of every other man his age to serve his country. They saw him as less of a human being. But Steve still stood up and answered the call to serve his country and then went on to represent it during the war. He represented a country, that before, didnt represent him. how many world
I think most people don't really understand this perspective. Most of the time, one's biggest argument for not liking Tom Holland Spider Man is because he's trying to become Iron Man, and that's not the case. He proved it in Homecoming, turning down the Iron Spider. He's trying to model himself after his predecessors, making the same mistakes they did and learning from them and becoming his own man. I love it so much
The problem is his over reliance on Stark tech And more importantly Peter Parker never grows past the flaws of Tony stark- He never even acknowledges Tony Stark's flaws so how can he grow past them
@@hellreaper2845 Edith is evil but peter never brings this up it's just... How do I be the next iron man? When really it should be ... Iron Man is creating my villains maybe I should be DIFFERENT
@@Courier_333 I feel like that take is gonna age like bread cuz of the new movie. I feel that the other peters are gonna open his eyes somehow. Also Edith wasn't evil, and I don't think he ever said that
@@hellreaper2845 I'd love that but it's not in the two movies we have yet... And nah Edith is DEFINITELY evil. mass surveillance and drone strikes are REAL and evil as fuck... Seriously confused why they made the hero of the marvel universe create this, It's a 1984 mass surveillance instant kill drone system... Eerily similar to project insight in Captain America winter soldier....
I kinda wish the white top of the suite was red instead (no idea if it would look good). Because red is his color from the falcon suite and it would be a nice nod that just because he is captain America now, he was still a hero in his own right before taking up the mantle.
This is a FANTASTICALLY edited video. Props for that on it's own. Not even mentioning the excellent analysis of the legacies inherited by Sam and Peter. Great video all around!
I hope they stop giving everyone a new suit in every film. Sam, Wanda, Bucky, Peter and Shang Chi's suits are pretty much perfect to me. I love how comic accurate the new suits are now. Hope they can do this for some of the other characters.
Well for Sam it made sense because Captain America Bucky I think changes his outfit every film why does it was kind of the same just with a little extra thing here in there and Peter's that make sense
Love the new suit for Sam and John (yes I'm a US Agent fan), the only thing I would change for Sam's suit is the tone of white, I feel like its too bright maybe make it slightly darker, like keep the white but not blinding white.
I love the new suit! The wings folding though does look goofy...idk I can't see how they would fold the way they do when not in used but also I don't know how else they could do it
@@kalebdickerson268 true true! But I'm just saying the way they animated how they folded in was wonky. It would've been cool if they would particle effect folder in like the panther suit or starks latest iron man
I felt TFATWS didn’t do nearly enough to un-deify Steve. Even Zemo, the guy who really should’ve been the most critical of Steve, seemed to deify him as incorruptible. I also think the MCU desperately needed Steve Rogers to have more self-reflection-especially over the fact that he commanded a level of blind loyalty that was incredibly dangerous and seriously damaged the lives of people like Scott Lang. It was Cap’s lack of self-reflection that destroyed the Avengers in Civil War, his inability to question whether he was right, but the only person who seriously questioned him was Tony, who was practically vilified, and also consumed by self-doubt and self-hatred; which I felt narratively took away some of the legitimacy of his criticism of Steve. Plus it was on Tony to forgive Steve in Endgame rather than Steve make it up to Tony. For me, TFATWS needed to do more than say that Steve didn’t understand what it meant to give Sam the shield-it needed to actively challenge his morality, because Steve’s legacy isn’t just Captain America but Steve’s mistakes as well. And not just his last one with Sam, but all of them. Hell, they almost did it with Sharon, but then it was dropped almost immediately in favor of questioning her morality instead. Also, I kind of felt like Sam Wilson needed to be listened to, but in the end it was Captain America who was listened to, and the fact is that it made me feel like it’s still Steve’s legacy legitimatizing Sam in the eyes of the MCU government rather than Sam’s worth. For example, remember the scene with the police where they nearly arrested him because they didn’t recognize him out of costume? There’s no reason to believe that wouldn’t still happen. And what’s more, because the government listened to Captain America and not Sam Wilson, I felt like-at least in the real world-any person of color without that prestigious status would still face the same racism present throughout the series. Kind of like how when Obama was president people listened to him because he was the president but it didn’t much change how black people were actually treated in America. I dunno, these are just my personal feelings, and no one needs to agree, but I hope for some this at least gives them something interesting to consider.
The showrunner actually wanted to have a spider-man cameo in Falcon and the Winter's finale Soldier but, Kevin Feige stopped him saying it probably wouldn't make sense as it would put more focus on spider-man than Sam.
I think the Sam cap suit was almost perfect Just knock a few inches off the top of the white on the goggles Maybe the goggles then a small strip of white on the top , I think it might be a little much But I still loved it and it suited him
3:29 I loved they went down that that route and didn't run away from it. My Father will be 70 yrs old this year. He was a black man that served in Vietnam. He was proud of his service. If have any idea what times were like for the Black community during that time, especially a soldier. To hear my father said he was still proud cause America is his country too. When Sam said something similar when it came to being Captain America, that really touched me. My father hasn't seen the show yet but he will sometime this week.
All the ppl that were upset about TFATWS going down "that route" acted like the MCU pulled it out their ass. As if the same thing didn't happen in the comics. So if u think its the MCU tryna be "woke" or saying its "military propaganda" ur ignorance to accept real world issues is showing.
Loved seeing Sam’s new outfit - and while accurate - the cowl should probably go - the ears stick out, makes the white in the outfit a little too overwhelming in my opinion
im only annoyed with the way the last episode was handled. the subtleties and great writing from episodes 1-5 fell apart. otherwise a really good show. even the wing suit fell in creative usage in episode 6.
it did feel a little bit like they were struggling to wrap everything up and it was a bit unsatisfying. still, Sam's journey to becoming Cap was the real meat of the story and I think they handled that all very well!
@@FullFatVideos I specifically mean that speech to the grc delegates and how it was broadcasted on tv. “be better” is a very empty american liberal phrase, and this is from someone firmly on the left like myself. also Carly was identified and sympathized with to a creepy degree in episode 6. she should be as roughly and equally grey a character as Walker. not to mention john gave me whiplash too.
"Patrick Troughton era of Captain America" ... we'll that's a genius way of thinking about it. Also implies at least 11 more iterations of Cap and the MCU lasting more than 50 years :D
These are some solid observations and I look forward to watching this show and again and see what the new Captain America has in store. As for as the cowl, I like it however it looks a bit tight. That was distracting and if they made it so that he could move his head it would be an improvement
I look at sam’s suit and think “how can he move his neck?” It gives me Keaton Batman vibes where he has to turn his whole body to look around and can’t actually turn his neck otherwise it looks fantastic
After having watched this, I thoroughly look forward to Sam and Peter meeting up and fighting baddies together one day 😊

Just a mid-credit scene of Spidey showing up late, whining on how he's late, and Sam says: "Hey, Wussup Webhead."

Tom Holland's acting is so good. You guys keep plugging that sad scene, and I keep briefly tearing up. That's nuts
Seeing Sam as cap for the first time really gave me "wow this is like a comic book brought to life" and I really dig that. Can't wait to see Jane foster as Thor now
Personally I am not looking forward to Jane foster as Thor
@@oscarrenouf why is that? Were you not a fan of her comic run?
@@6cmh3 within the MCU, her character is just the definition of MEH. Her being Thor would mean nothing but a push for a female Thor.
@@oscarrenouf lol you are being generous with meh. I think this far her character in the MCU is really bad and one note. I really did love Jane Foster Thor run and hope they can turn MCU Jane into Comic Jane
@@6cmh3 I mean fair enough
The MCU is like a never ending story in a good way. WandaVision is a really good show, even The Falcon and The Winter Soldier proves to be excellent. Both of those series turned out great without being movies, but both still connect with the films.
@LuNa It literally connects with the Cap trilogy and Black Panther.
The MCU is becoming the comics without having to retcon shit and restore the status quo all the time. Characters die and stay dead, and their arcs have an actual ending (for now, at least).
I love it.
One way we can be sure that Sam is the Captain America for our modern age is that his suit was made in a foreign country.
I audibly laughed at that
That funky editing is too good, you're making me want stuff I didn't even know I wanted. Sam and Pete need a reunion. I mean, I'm sure words were shared at Tony's funeral, like, everyone got to speak to each other at least once, right, but I want to see it on screen now.
Man I actually really hate the way the MCU is doing Spider-Man,is like they never read a damn comic,that isn’t Spider-Man,that’s not how he’s supposed to act and he never was friends with Tony Stark in the comics,Tony was never he’s mentor(Only in the ultimate comics but it was more of a Genius Mentor thing) I hate it so much how they made Spider-Man(A guy who has been his own hero since 1962) freaking Iron Boy Jr,freaking hell
@@WoopyG He ain't Iron Boy Jr... You clearly missed the point of both movies. Homecoming was him learning he didn't need Iron Man's help to be a hero, and could do it on his own. Far From Home was him learning he didn't need to be the next Iron Man, only himself, Happy litteraly stated that. God, you people want to hate MCU Spidey so much, you ignore the literal plots of each film
Much like cap and tony were basically the beating heart of the MCU, I want Sam and Peter to be of that kind of importance going forward. I just hope they make it work and I really hope that’s what they’re going with moving forward as they are some of the strongest characters in their collection rn.
The opening snap went right into an Ad and I lost my shit
This video is amazing
I think that it’s really interesting how both Peter and Sam are honoring the people who they looked up to but in different ways. Sam is literally becoming the next Captain America and Peter is taking up Tony’s role as the worlds greatest superhero. Both are even going through troubles that will affect how people look at them, Sam being black while also being Cap and Peter literally being accused of murder. I hope they interact more, it will be really interesting to see their interactions.
@Oni Chan He can come close but he will never be better than the OG(Hot Take:Bucky deserved the shield for 1 good reason,he was Steve’s friend since they were kids)
@@WoopyG it's not about who was friends first idiot
@LuNa Better? Maybe not. The level as Steve? Yes.
Sam’s suit kinda needs to be modded a bit I mean his ears are also really exposed and so many people could I dunno, like shoot his ears or something idk
(Edit) I was pretty much joking about the ears thing, calm down
I think they will cap suit never stay the same in every movie so as tony suit.
Ears being exposed? That's the comic book look though...
Why are people bitching about believability in this universe? It's clear that the writers will find a way to make it work.
its perfect idc what anyone says. My ears stuck out my cowl.
Didn't Steve's helmet have his ears sticking out? Didn't Black Widow and Hawkeye have zero head gear to protect themselves? Why is everyone all of a sudden pointing out the lack of safety gear in marvel? Besides Sam literally has vibranium wings with a suit most likely fitted with vibranium weaving, and a pretty much indestructible shield. This is a comic book film😂
They would just get cold, his wings would block shots to the head
Can I just take a minute to commend The Falcon and the Winter soldier for being incredibly well put together. The show might not be amazing. But given that it had an entire arc ripped out due to the pandemic. It functions surprisingly fucking well.
@Hermann Retzlaff watch the show. Think of a virus subplot when watching the first few episodes
Apart from the flagsmashers and the rushed finale, which got screwed up thanks to this pandemic, the show was great imo. Without those two, the show would've been perfect.
Your editing skills are definitely at par with the Marvel trailers team!
I had no problem with any of the White Captain America suits. They looked good, they're comic accurate, and neither looked like Halloween costumes. Also, Sam Wilson looks GREAT in his Captain America suit. No problem at all.
Your parallel shots are next level
Thank you!
Honestly I think this is the best suit we’ve gotten in the MCU period. I like flashy super suits, but most of the ones we’ve gotten have been muted and dull looking. Even Spider-Man’s suit never feels real or tangible, always covered in CG. The new Captain America suit looks amazing.
NGL, Spider-Man's new red and black suit looks more comfortable to wear than Sam's new Captain America suit/wings.
I also wish that Steve and Peter had more interaction in the MCU. They’re my favorite 2 heroes and I definitely felt that void as you mentioned.
Can u do a video on why John walker and Quentin beck fail to inherit the mantles of Steve and tony
@Oni Chan What?
@Oni Chan what?
Quentin was narcissistic, he didn't really wanted to be a hero like Iron Man but more the fame of it an illusion if you will.
John is not ment to be Capt. America because he is the Perfect Soldier loyal and brave but not a very noble person, his heart was in the right place but his mentality and beliefs are not. (he has more in common with Astartes from Warhammer than Captain America.)
@Oni Chan What does that mean?
@Oni Chan what
FFH and FATWS are my favourite MCU movie and series
Awesome
FATWS is good, FFH is VERY VERY Flawed.
@@segaspice4062 I wouldn’t say very very flawed it has problems but it’s not a bad move.
@@hyperfire1134 My problem is they never adress the problems with Starks legacy. Spider-Man Far From Home is not a good Spider-Man movie, it's a good movie but not a good spidey film. It doesn't address Iron-Man or Tony Starks flaws or that Edith is basically what Hydra was trying to do in Captain America The Winter Soldier. Far From Home suffers from the problem of riding off Iron Man's boots, in an interview they literally said Spider-Man was more of an Iron Man JR than SpiderBoy -_- it's like the writers didn't know what Spider-Man even was and only watched an episode of a cartoon.
@@segaspice4062 my main problem with that criticism is it doesn't really conflict with anything, bringing up the fact that Edith is literally the same thing that Hydra did but from the good guys perspective is not very much of a point because we knew Tony was like that; part of his disagreement with Cap in Civil War was based in their different ways on how to protect the world, he always had the perspective that he was the one to "privatize world peace", (if not him then his successor) this line of thinking is the reason why Ultron happened, this would only be a problem if it goes against his pre-established ideals which it doesn't
"Another bird based superhero"
do...do you think bats are birds?
no hahah that would be dumb do you hey everybody this person thinks bats are birds who me no this person
Really enjoyed the writing in this vid! I never actually made the comparison between Sam and Peter inheriting a certain type of mantle. Constructively, I did find the editing to be a bit choppier in this than your other videos. Pumped to see whats next!
Walker bullys? He's getting bullied if you mean that. He just wants to team up with sam and bucky but they don't like him for something that's not his fault. To me he's the more human version of steve. Steve is almost perfect, walker is flawed. Walker is a good man but not as good as steve. After his friend dies he loses his morals which i think most people would. Steve didn't. His story was doomed to go down the road from the beginning, he could not live to the expectations even tho he already was a war hero. In this way it was "good" that sam had too much doubt to pick up the shield at first, this could've been him. It's just he was chosen by steve to be the next cap. He talked with bucky and then had another 70 to think about it. Sam didn't need to trust himself the man that was never wrong about anything saw he was the right man.
Right! Like how was he a bully?
This has been edited perfectly and so well written. Probably one of the best videos you guys dropped. Thank you.
Thanks Ali!
Credit to Anthony Mackie! His performance along with his charisma is what made us all fall in love with his character.
“The only power I have is that I believe we can do better” is such a perfect line

also editing and a half on this one
Genuinely some of the best edited and most thoughtful content on the platform. Always look forward to hearing your takes.
And you were so right with the character arcs. I'm inclined to trust you.
The editing in this video is seriously _top notch._ In general, the edits on this channel are _always_ well done but I especially love what was done in this video. Your essays are always beautiful. They feel less like"essays" and (for me, at least) more akin to poetry. The way you explain these characters and their motivations are deeply introspective, and in many cases you even point out things that most other TH-camrs fail to notice.
As for what I think of Sam's new suit? Admittedly I wasn't initially a fan. I acknowledge the comic book accuracy of it, but for me it didn't immediately translate well to live action. It seemed bulky and campy and reminded me a little _too_ much of the CW's version of the "Kid Flash" suit. I also wasn't a fan of the color scheme with it's majority white (which seemed counterproductive as it will be hard to keep clean) but as an artist myself, I can see why the comics designed it with so much white, as it contrasts nicely against Sam's skin tone, just like the blue created a nice contrast against Steve's. Blue/Red against Sam would probably not translate well in night scenes. (My skin color is about the same as Anthony Mackie's, and certain colors tend to "blend in" with my skin in older photographs taken in darker, shadowy areas)
I really love Sam's Cap suit tbh! The abundance of white makes it stand out, as you said, and the choice of going for a brighter shade of blue really cements the brighter future Sam Wilson as Captain America will usher in.
Your videos give me the capacity to think about MCU Spider-Man in ways I normally don't and it's a good thing. I still think as it stands Raimi Spider-Man is king but now I'm starting to think about what the MCU actually needs Spider-Man to be in its own interpretation rather than just being 100% comic accurate.
The white part of Sam's new suit, that's right above the goggle, and to the side of the head should be a bit smaller, but other than that, it's pretty awesome
At opening edit is just on point
thank you!
The suit is beautiful I really really hope they never ever change it.
It gonna look different the next time we see it. They need to sell toys

I gotta say man, ive been watching for a long time, and your editing skills? out of this world. They've gotten so much better, The way you splice together your videos to bring out the parallels and the full emotions of theses moments genuinely almost brought me to tears at moments. Bravo. Love your video as always -looking forward to the next one.
Next Civil war, Just Anthony and Tom being themselves.
cool thing about new captain is how he's a bit of iron man and captain america now...i love this deep dive into their legacies. what a crazy parallel that spider man with his powers would be trying to earn his place as a hero and prove he's a hero with or without his suit...meanwhile falcon is trying to earn find his place as the hero, without the powers.
Honestly, I love the suit. But I will never complain about even more super hero costumes!
Crazy thing is. I actually think Steve did know the implications of giving Sam the Shield. Think about it, Steve has been around in the modern world for a while now. He was still out of it, in Winter Soldier, but started to fully integrate by the time of Civil War. Then he went on the run and got to see the world from outside the perspective of a shiny SHIELD base or an Avengers HQ. Then the snap happened and Steve spent 5 years learning about the world and seeing how different groups interacted. Pretty sure he saw the kind of world that could be when people come together.
By that point, Steve understood the modern world and therefore what kind of Captain America it needed. To Steve, Sams story is not so different from him in a way. Steve was a weak and sick kid, that everyone looked down on and pitted. He wasn't even given the basic right of every other man his age to serve his country. They saw him as less of a human being.
But Steve still stood up and answered the call to serve his country and then went on to represent it during the war. He represented a country, that before, didnt represent him.
how many
world
8:00 you heard it here first...bats are birds.
I think most people don't really understand this perspective. Most of the time, one's biggest argument for not liking Tom Holland Spider Man is because he's trying to become Iron Man, and that's not the case. He proved it in Homecoming, turning down the Iron Spider. He's trying to model himself after his predecessors, making the same mistakes they did and learning from them and becoming his own man. I love it so much
The problem is his over reliance on Stark tech
And more importantly Peter Parker never grows past the flaws of Tony stark-
He never even acknowledges Tony Stark's flaws so how can he grow past them
@@Courier_333 how do you mean? I'd like you to elaborate a little bit, cuz I don't agree with your statement.
@@hellreaper2845 Edith is evil but peter never brings this up it's just...
How do I be the next iron man?
When really it should be ... Iron Man is creating my villains maybe I should be DIFFERENT
@@Courier_333 I feel like that take is gonna age like bread cuz of the new movie. I feel that the other peters are gonna open his eyes somehow. Also Edith wasn't evil, and I don't think he ever said that
@@hellreaper2845 I'd love that but it's not in the two movies we have yet...
And nah Edith is DEFINITELY evil. mass surveillance and drone strikes are REAL and evil as fuck... Seriously confused why they made the hero of the marvel universe create this,
It's a 1984 mass surveillance instant kill drone system... Eerily similar to project insight in Captain America winter soldier....
I kinda wish the white top of the suite was red instead (no idea if it would look good). Because red is his color from the falcon suite and it would be a nice nod that just because he is captain America now, he was still a hero in his own right before taking up the mantle.
TH-cam just recommended me. I love how you edit the video to where the scenes speaks for itself.
Love Sam's new suit but he really needs a helmet. He's gonna get killed
Headshot 1 shot 1 kill
This is a FANTASTICALLY edited video. Props for that on it's own. Not even mentioning the excellent analysis of the legacies inherited by Sam and Peter. Great video all around!
I hope they stop giving everyone a new suit in every film. Sam, Wanda, Bucky, Peter and Shang Chi's suits are pretty much perfect to me. I love how comic accurate the new suits are now. Hope they can do this for some of the other characters.
They need to sell Toys
Well for Sam it made sense because Captain America Bucky I think changes his outfit every film why does it was kind of the same just with a little extra thing here in there and Peter's that make sense
Dude! The editing is sooo good. It was so satisfying and I got goosebumps watching it. Extremely well made video and great analysis
Great video man 👏🏻 Are you on Letterboxd??
Love the new suit for Sam and John (yes I'm a US Agent fan), the only thing I would change for Sam's suit is the tone of white, I feel like its too bright maybe make it slightly darker, like keep the white but not blinding white.
I love the new suit! The wings folding though does look goofy...idk I can't see how they would fold the way they do when not in used but also I don't know how else they could do it
I mean the wings are most likely made of vibranium nano tech. Look at Black Panther's suit. It literally comes out of his necklace.
@@kalebdickerson268 true true! But I'm just saying the way they animated how they folded in was wonky. It would've been cool if they would particle effect folder in like the panther suit or starks latest iron man

Amazing!
Thank you! Cheers!

This essay makes me optimistic for spiderman as a "better" iron man. Someone who creates more good than bad. Thanks !
I felt TFATWS didn’t do nearly enough to un-deify Steve. Even Zemo, the guy who really should’ve been the most critical of Steve, seemed to deify him as incorruptible. I also think the MCU desperately needed Steve Rogers to have more self-reflection-especially over the fact that he commanded a level of blind loyalty that was incredibly dangerous and seriously damaged the lives of people like Scott Lang. It was Cap’s lack of self-reflection that destroyed the Avengers in Civil War, his inability to question whether he was right, but the only person who seriously questioned him was Tony, who was practically vilified, and also consumed by self-doubt and self-hatred; which I felt narratively took away some of the legitimacy of his criticism of Steve. Plus it was on Tony to forgive Steve in Endgame rather than Steve make it up to Tony. For me, TFATWS needed to do more than say that Steve didn’t understand what it meant to give Sam the shield-it needed to actively challenge his morality, because Steve’s legacy isn’t just Captain America but Steve’s mistakes as well. And not just his last one with Sam, but all of them. Hell, they almost did it with Sharon, but then it was dropped almost immediately in favor of questioning her morality instead.
Also, I kind of felt like Sam Wilson needed to be listened to, but in the end it was Captain America who was listened to, and the fact is that it made me feel like it’s still Steve’s legacy legitimatizing Sam in the eyes of the MCU government rather than Sam’s worth. For example, remember the scene with the police where they nearly arrested him because they didn’t recognize him out of costume? There’s no reason to believe that wouldn’t still happen. And what’s more, because the government listened to Captain America and not Sam Wilson, I felt like-at least in the real world-any person of color without that prestigious status would still face the same racism present throughout the series. Kind of like how when Obama was president people listened to him because he was the president but it didn’t much change how black people were actually treated in America.
I dunno, these are just my personal feelings, and no one needs to agree, but I hope for some this at least gives them something interesting to consider.
The showrunner actually wanted to have a spider-man cameo in Falcon and the Winter's finale Soldier but, Kevin Feige stopped him saying it probably wouldn't make sense as it would put more focus on spider-man than Sam.
It'll never happen,but can you imagine if Sam and Bucky having to team up with Peter? They'll be so stressed out.
Edit: Hehe.
what about the eventual avengers 5?

@Oni Chan in a specific situation
That ad was perfectly placed.
Awesome
The Sam's Captain America Suit is the single coolest Captain America suit in the entire MCU.
I think the Sam cap suit was almost perfect
Just knock a few inches off the top of the white on the goggles
Maybe the goggles then a small strip of white on the top , I think it might be a little much
But I still loved it and it suited him
Also removing the neckpiece/chops area and allowing Anthony's ears to not be squished by the cowl would help quite a bit
3:29 I loved they went down that that route and didn't run away from it.
My Father will be 70 yrs old this year. He was a black man that served in Vietnam. He was proud of his service.
If have any idea what times were like for the Black community during that time, especially a soldier. To hear my father said he was still proud cause America is his country too.
When Sam said something similar when it came to being Captain America, that really touched me.
My father hasn't seen the show yet but he will sometime this week.
7:58 🤨
i LOVED the editing cutting between shots of sam and peter but keeping the flow of their movements and the action its aweosme
Thank you Squishcat!
They finally integrated social justice issues amazingly within the MCU. It was bloody beautiful, you have to give them credit for that.
Second this, was scared if they did it that it’d be forced and cringe, but I’m impressed
You are just an excellent content creator. I love the passion and care you put into your videos, it shows.
All the ppl that were upset about TFATWS going down "that route" acted like the MCU pulled it out their ass. As if the same thing didn't happen in the comics. So if u think its the MCU tryna be "woke" or saying its "military propaganda" ur ignorance to accept real world issues is showing.
dude, the editing in this video is outrageously cool
thank you Sam! I put alot of effort into this one :)
"He stands for Truth, Justice, and..."
I'll let this slide, but only because Superman and Lois used "With great power comes great responsibility".
No they didn’t. It’s Spider-Man that uses that.
@@devinjabairemoss That is kind of my point. They quoted it in the first episode (or two, idr) of the new Superman show on the CW.
Loved seeing Sam’s new outfit - and while accurate - the cowl should probably go - the ears stick out, makes the white in the outfit a little too overwhelming in my opinion
im only annoyed with the way the last episode was handled. the subtleties and great writing from episodes 1-5 fell apart. otherwise a really good show.
even the wing suit fell in creative usage in episode 6.
it did feel a little bit like they were struggling to wrap everything up and it was a bit unsatisfying. still, Sam's journey to becoming Cap was the real meat of the story and I think they handled that all very well!
@@FullFatVideos I specifically mean that speech to the grc delegates and how it was broadcasted on tv. “be better” is a very empty american liberal phrase, and this is from someone firmly on the left like myself. also Carly was identified and sympathized with to a creepy degree in episode 6. she should be as roughly and equally grey a character as Walker. not to mention john gave me whiplash too.
Bro ... this editing! Incredible stuff
Anyone annoyed with the shows political commentary needs to grow up
Sam’s suit is absolutely flawless, and like Wanda’s Scarlet Witch, looks like it’s pulled straight from the comics.
"Patrick Troughton era of Captain America" ... we'll that's a genius way of thinking about it. Also implies at least 11 more iterations of Cap and the MCU lasting more than 50 years :D
Funny that Anthony Mackie and Tom Holland are
The new faces of the mcu 😂😂
These are some solid observations and I look forward to watching this show and again and see what the new Captain America has in store. As for as the cowl, I like it however it looks a bit tight. That was distracting and if they made it so that he could move his head it would be an improvement
I don’t know about everyone else but I loved sams new look
I look at sam’s suit and think “how can he move his neck?” It gives me Keaton Batman vibes where he has to turn his whole body to look around and can’t actually turn his neck otherwise it looks fantastic
Great video man, thanks for your hard work
