The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's second episode, The Star-Spangled Man, finds our heroes hunting down super soldiers while at odds with each other, and the new Captain America, John Walker. Here's what went down, and what it all means.
After spending the first episode apart, Sam and Bucky- reunite in a less-than-ideal manner. Upon hearing the news of John Walker replacing Steve Rogers as Captain America, Bucky heads to the United States Air Force base Sam is operating out of to give him a piece of his mind, calling Sam out for turning over Cap's shield in the first place.
The two argue for a bit, Sam presents his theory that all the enemies they fight are either androids, aliens, or wizards, and then Bucky and Sam team up. Their attempt to scope out a potential Flag-Smasher cell in Germany doesn't go as planned, but that doesn't stop them from continuing to take jabs at one another all the while.
From this point on, Bucky and Sam are practically inseparable, despite their apparent distaste for one another. At the end of the day, they're both invested in stopping the Flag-Smashers by any means necessary, and they have a vested interest in showing up John Walker in hopes of rectifying the damage they think he's doing to the Captain America mantle.
They make it known following their messy therapy session that they're going their separate ways once the job is done, but it's pretty much a given they'll become full-fledged allies in the end. If not, surely they'll part with a mutual respect between them.
Arkaprabha: Bucky berating Sam in therapy hits close to heart if you consider his character arc. Oh, and by the way, his brainwashing has been deprogrammed in Wakanda. So Zemo can't possibly control Bucky. But, let's admit, it'll be hilarious to see Zemo's reaction once he realizes that Bucky can't be brainwashed anymore. Date: 2021-03-27
