By Marvel. I stan ///The/// Godfather of the mcu, the one (1) who started it all, embodying the character of the genius, billionaire, selfless sap who would do anything and everything to protect the ones he loves, philanthropist, scientist, futurist, our lord and saviour Anthony Edward Stark. Also I'm very fond of his spider son.

i hope the scenes with isaiah bradley, the cops cornering sam, sam telling bucky he cannot tell sam what he does or does not have the right to do, sam being flat-out “this is something neither you nor steve would understand” regarding his decision to give the shield back, i hope none of that goes over yall’s heads.
isaiah bradley was forgotten about by history because (canonically) he was part of a project that experimented with the super soldier serum. experimented. remember what that word means.
the cops cornered sam because they thought he was bothering bucky, and likely would have arrested him FOR NO REASON had bucky not been there to testify to the fact that he really was an avenger.
and it has finally been straight-up addressed now that the shield carries a notably different burden in relation to sam than it would to steve and bucky, and isaiah stands as a living testament to the complicated legacy of the shield.
