- "Not Captain America... yet."
- Last Dec. 2024 in Japan.
What do you think. Just like Old Steve did, could there be a time especially after Sam's tenure as Cap, that he would pass the Shield too to Bucky. He could very well pass it quite early in the MCU, like in the Brave New World film itself, like if Bucky has a brief or mid/post-credit scene.
Sam's wings in the trailers performed and looked very, very powerful, hence the Shield could be passed to a new user like Bucky, and the Captain America mantle could be retired (even if not forever in the MCU) too.
In the Thor Love & Thunder film, Jane (Natalie Portman), correct me if I'm wrong, was terminally ill with cancer. But with "broken" Mjolnir she transformed to a fit Mighty Thor herself with accompanying Thor-like costume, while Steve did not back in Endgame. Or perhaps because Steve purposefully didn't need or want to back then.
So wouldn't it be similar with old Steve. Imagine him temporarily transforming to a fit Cap again as any dire, desperate situation, Avenger-level event would call for. He could easily make an educated wish to grant him a more classic scale-armored Captain America with side "wings", which could be designed enough to make it more Norse/Thor-like too yet still very much Cap. Which would also differentiate to Sam's own present Cap incarnation.
Now, I might as well. Regarding Jane if she was "worthy" back in L&T, I theorize she wasn't initially. But since Thor inadvertently put a spell or similar to Mjolnir when he asked it to protect Jane, the hammer responded to her when the time came to do it, which was when she was sick and she went near it in the movie. It restored her to full health with bigger physique too, although only temporarily.
Odin's old enchantment is always there, which is "if he be worthy", and NOT "if he be NOT worthy". So if worthy, then the hammer will respond. Then if it is Jane, then it will also respond. But if Odin's enchantment was something like "if he be NOT worthy, he would NOT possess the powers of Thor", then if Jane was indeed not worthy initially, then the two would simply cancel each other out. Equally, perfectly balanced like all things should be.
So at least seemingly two rules the hammer will follow or respond to. Then later, Thor talked to Jane that she was worthy.
It was very good they didn't rely on camera shaking much. Hence it was more pleasant for people like me with eye problems and its attached dizziness, headaches, motion sickness, nausea, etc. Which increased replayability.
Seems like Mackie has cartoony movements especially when turning his head left or right during action and fight sequences, which were even remarkably imitated by the stunt double during the opening landing and fights.
Unconvincing pick for the opposing country to use. A very close military ally like Japan where the US even has numerous bases existing up to this day, with actual mutual defense agreement even, and actual no hostility to each other ever since, and yet to be actually the one nation to have a direct military confrontation with the US. It would have been resolved.
Wouldn't those F-35 not be used against the US at all? I thought there are mechanisms and software installed and secured into the planes to safeguard them from being used against the United States?
Giancarlo was actually more exciting and I was actually rooting for him over Mackie. Their charsima is widely apart it seemed. In fact, even from the trailers.
In retrospect, the film would have been a good vehicle to elevate Falcon just like how they utilized the supposed B-tier Marvel comics characters in the past, and not piggyback on the Captain America label. In retrospect, why did Marvel/MCU need to create unnecessary division in their own fandom (the actual fans, real people) and in canon (in-universe). No one should have inherited the Captain America mantle in the MCU counterpart and should have been retired after Steve did the same. If the shield should be passed then just pass it by itself, for simply a new user of the shield. And since they picked Sam to be the new Cap already, then they should simply made him accepted in-universe from the get-go.
