why do so many people think Bucky got the temu serum? he literally got the next best serum after Erskine's original and it was activated using radiation from the Tesseract, a literal Infinity Stone (s. Shuri & Zola; The Wakanda Files).

Alexei calling it "fancy" is probably pretty accurate compared to other super soldiers out there now, now Steve is who the fuck knows where. it's the closest to what Steve had (synthesised from Schmidt, who took the prototype of Erskine's og formula too, and since Bucky didn't turn red and skull-like it's safe to assume it's been heavily perfected since then)

you know who did get the temu serum? Bruce Banner, Alexei Shostakov, the discount Winter Soldiers, John Walker, Karli and the other Flag-Smashers (Isaiah Bradley too, possibly). with the exception of Bruce, they don't even appear to use any radiation to activate it either smh

Bucky got like... pricey competitor copycat serum, not temu serum

[cats-chaotic-mind]

You know what really bothers me? When people say that it took 20 years for Hydra to break Bucky Barnes.

It didn’t take that long. He was captured in 1945, and was deployed to Korea during the Korean War in 1950. Isaiah Bradly talks about being dropped behind enemy lines during the Korean War to deal with the Winter Soldier. The Winter Soldier was FROZEN BETWEEN MISSIONS FOR YEARS ON END

Just Sam and Bucky, winning that fucking ugly sweater competition. Move over, Cass and AJ. Get out of the way, Yelena and Kate. Don't even try, Sarah and Joaquín. Not this year, Eli and Isaiah. You're not even on their level, Aneka and Ayo. Please leave, that sweater is too cool and you're going to ruin this, M'Baku. You've got no chance, Alpine and Figaro.

Random Thoughts on The Falcon and The Winter Soldier:

I have no knowledge of what the comics say, or what any of the writers may have said to clarify anything in interviews or what have you. This is based solely on the movies as they played in the theatres, and the series as broadcast on Disney+.

The Super Soldier Serum

Red Skull stole some serum from Dr. Erskine before it was perfected. And I don't know how he injected it. Nor was he the kind of person Dr. Erskine would have chosen. And he had a terrible side effect.

Steve was given the serum that was as good as Dr. Erskine could make it. He had probably done exhaustive experiments, and he was just waiting for the right person. Dr. Erskine chose him because he was a good man who didn't want to kill anyone, he just didn't like bullies. Howard Stark designed the optimal way to administer it. He had the best result.

Bucky could only have been given a version of the serum that had been distilled from Red Skull's blood. We don't know what kind of experiments Zola did on him after he was captured after the battle of Azzano. But he certainly did something if it helped him to survive the fall from the train, and the loss of his arm. So he was given a version of an imperfect serum, administered in some way, along with whatever else had been done to his body, and then his identity was removed. But, as of TFATWS. It doesn't seem to have had any adverse affects, physically or emotionally. Though he's been through such trauma, it would be difficult to tell if the serum had any affect on it. However, Bucky was a good guy, before his identity was removed, so now that he has come back to himself, it makes sense that the serum wouldn't react badly with his actual personality. He seems to continue to have a good result.

The other people in the winter soldier program were given the serum as Howard Stark had recreated it. I don't know what he had to begin that formula, but it must have been untested. Maybe he was handing it over to the Pentagon to be tested? Zola may have fooled around with it as well. Bucky said that they were erratic. And one of them turned on the Hydra guy and tried to kill him. They had a poor result.

Isaiah was given a form of the serum, I don't know what it would have been distilled from, or how it was administered. They were told it was for tetanus, so it wasn't administered with Stark's technology. But it killed many of the other guys. Isaiah though, I think, had the best personality, morals, and ethics for the serum. He seems to continue to have a good result.

Nagel distilled the serum from samples of Isaiah's blood. He said he found semi-stable traces of the serum in the blood. We don't know if that says anything about the serum in Isaiah's blood. It could be a result of how it was stored, especially during the time after it was stolen before it got to Nagel. Then he worked on it so that it would not make noticeable physical changes. So it was all kinds of messed up. It isn't really shown if it has enhanced and negative or positive traits that Karli and the Flag Smashers may have already had. But from what we know, it seems to have had a good result.

John Walker took one of those vials of serum. It had not been kept in optimal conditions, that may have affected it. He was already very angry, dishearted, and embarrassed from everything that had already happened before he took it. So it didn't change him physically, but he obviously has some after effects. We can see him having odd twitches. And his anger was there before the serum, but it seems as if now, once he gets angry, it gets turbo boosted. He doesn't seem to be able to make good decisions in the heat of battle, the way Lemar said he did, or the way that would earn you three medals of honor. I would say it had a less than optimal result.

So when they say super soldier serum, they aren't talking about the exact serum that was given to Steve. Not all iterations of the serum are the same. So every person given it will not react the same way.

[skarkkk]

Isaiah Bradley. They don't talk about you enough.

[logansgaar]

honestly I think Sharon Carter, Bucky Barnes, Isaiah Bradley and Peter Parker should just set up a "fuck the US government, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers too while we're at it" club

Theory about “Captain America: Brave New World” based on the new trailer:

Most of the movie will be about Sam Wilson trying to figure out who is behind the attacks on the President. Obviously, it’s Samuel Sterns/The Leader and the story will be about how he wants to establish a new world order based on gamma radiation people, yadda yadda yadda.

However, there’s a twist. Just as we start to think that this is going to be a straightforward good-vs-evil story, we learn that Sterns’ plan was to get the Avengers to become an official part of the U.S. military. It turns out that President Thaddeus Ross and Sterns are working together. Sterns is the brains behind-the-scenes while Ross is the face of the operation. The goal is to get America to accept their “new world order” by convincing the public to accept Ross as the president-for-life. Part of that goal is manipulating the Avengers into becoming their enforcers. Logically it makes sense, who’d want to challenge the new America if they have to deal with the Avengers?

So the terrorist attacks on Ross’ life are staged so that the public goes into mass hysteria. And when people are frightened, they become easier to control, which is what Sterns and Ross are banking on. Sam Wilson trying to figure out who is responsible for the attacks is meant to get him to reconsider his position on Captain America being an official U.S. military position. It’s to make him think, “Maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to work closer to the President so I can protect him better. Also, maybe the Avengers would be better off as an official organization rather than a group of vigilantes. At least we’d have the full support of the U.S. government”

And if the Avengers decide not to go along with Sterns’ plan…mind control (as we see with Isaiah Bradley).

Basically, it’s Metal Gear Solid in that Sam Wilson thinks he’s fighting the good fight, only to find out he was being manipulated behind-the-scenes the whole time. He thought he was protecting President Ross, turns out Ross and Sterns are on the same side.

Red Hulk, oh okay. Eli is on the cover, but not mentioned in the synopsis.

I wish more diehard Captain America fans realized and acknowledged that Steve Rogers' backstory is a eugenist wet dream.

First of all, Steve wasn't picked because he was special, he was picked cause he was disabled and willing to throw his life away for others. The Captain America movie reinforced this multiple times by mentioning how Steve tried to enlist but was rejected due to his chronic illnesses. Do you know how bad your disability has to be for THE UNITED STATES MILITARY to reject you during a time where people of color, women and children were enlisted???? And even when he lied to get they were thinking about kicking him out until this moment.

Where he straight up proves that he is willing and able to put other's lives above his own. And most importantly that he knows nothing about proper protocol cause if we get down to it, the Super Soldiers Program was borderline if not straight up illegal which is why they were so sneaky about it. And it was still in the testing phase.

In America there's a certain order in which dangerous stuff is tested to make sure it's cleared for the public (Aka white men).

It's a person of color, usually black.

Isaiah Bradley

Then it's a disabled person

Steve Rogers

And James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes, (I picked this image in particular because this is the moment that disabled him)

Followed by a woman

Margaret "Peggy" Carter, (and I think Natasha mentioned something about how the first Black Widows were enhanced in her movie)

Followed by literally everyone else! And when Steve was on his press tour to hype up the super serum one of the selling points of it was literally that it could cure your disability and make you The White Supremacy Standard™! And it was shown through Bucky that even if it didn't cure you it would make it possible for you to have these highly invasive and painful procedures that would basically make it so it's like you're not disabled at all! Whereas a normal person wouldn't be able to undergo these procedures cause they'd literally die.

The only time they acknowledged this in the cannon was when Isaiah Bradley was talking to Sam Wilson. This is why I'm so glad he took up the mantle of Captain America without some sort of whatever that made him enhanced because every Captain America that came before him was a fucking eugenist wet dream and unlike them he's a human who rose to the ocation and he's actually standing up for the little guy.

TLDR YOU CAN PRY SAM WILSON'S CAPTAIN AMERICA FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS CAUSE EVERY OTHER RENDITION IS A FUCKING EUGENIST WET DREAM!!

5 Pitches for MCU Television Spin-Offs

While I admit there are many, maybe even too many, MCU TV shows, the two we got this year were surprisingly refreshing.

Yes, Echo & Agatha All Along benefited from charismatic leads, good writing and fun ideas, but I think them being continuations of great TV added a layer of excitement that the MCU films have previously benefited from.

Given that these were both so successful, I have 5 potential spin-off ideas for the MCU. I'm aiming for Phase 4-6 characters, and looking to continue or expand on storylines set up, with each show having a different purpose and feel.

5. Elsa Bloodstone: Monster Hunter

One of the best MCU Projects since Endgame was the Special Presentation: Werewolf by Night.

In this story, Elsa Bloodstone, a well-known Marvel hero, obtains the Bloodstone, a jewel used to kill monsters, and inherits Bloodstone Manor, setting her up to be the monster hunter she's known to be.

The Monster side of the Marvel Universe is dying to be explored, especially after the success of Werewolf by Night, Moon Knight Agatha All Along, Wandavision, and Doctor Strange

There is plenty of room for Elsa to crossover, and perhaps even start building a team like The Midnight Suns.

And not to put any pressure on Marvel, but DC is exploring their monstrous characters ASAP, so this show will help keep up.

With Laura Donnelly already cast, plenty of room for crossover, and a fun premise just sitting there, this would be an easy slam-dunk for Disney.

4. Gambit

There was no character more fun from Deadpool & Wolverine for me than Gambit.

Though he never get a project of his own, Channing Tatum has been pushing for a Gambit project for decades, holding out hope, looking for directors and even appearing at Comic-Con.

His small part in Deadpool & Wolverine was visually fun and very funny, holding his own with the titular characters and other void heroes.

I'm pitching either a prequel, with Gambit finding his place in the void and facing off against different multiversal heroes & villains, or a post Deadpool & Wolverine Gambit, finding his way in a real world. I'd like if he decides to work with the TVA and form a team like the Exiles, multiversal heroes.

This team could show up in future MCU projects, and even have some characters from What If?

Whatever the case is, I think they definitely can and should throw Channing Tatum a bone.

3. Wiccan & Speed

*Spoilers for Agatha All Along*

The next step in the WandaVision Saga is very easy to see. With a great lead like Joe Locke and a great third in Kathryn Hahn, Wiccan & Speed can be the end of a trilogy for these two leading into Young Avengers or the new Vision series.

Having Tommy & Billy reunite and connect can be the emotional core of the MCU we've been missing, much like Bucky & Steve.

I'd pitch this as Billy & Agatha going to break Tommy out of prison, causing a giant incident with Wiccan's new found powers, and having Nick Fury or a high level government agency after the boys, eventually leading them to working for The Avengers.

Whoever they end up casting with Joe Locke, they both may be the story MCU fans will hold onto during Secret Wars & Doomsday.

2. The Black Knights of Old

While you may think this is a Dane Whitman spin-off, it isn't.

I'm pitching the first full appearance of Mahershala Ali as Blade, as the narrator and arguably main character, telling the stories of the rise and fall of The Black Knights to Dane Whitman.

Each Black Knight will face heroes of old, maybe some SHIELD, Iron Fists, Black Panthers, Super Soldiers, and all fall due to being corrupted by the blade.

I'd love to see different ages of the MCU, expanding both the history and mythology, all while giving a warning to Dane of the danger of being the Black Knight. I'd love for each episode to feel very different, both from directors and maybe even mediums. Some could be animated, others not.

Whatever the case, an epic spanning generations all centered around the one blade, narrated by Blade, sounds really fun.

1. Isaiah Bradley: Red White & Black

There is no character whose history I'd like to see more than Isaiah Bradley's.

In the comics, Isaiah takes up the title of Captain America, doning a uniform and dying to save his people. He is unjustly experimented on and becomes a Super Soldier.

In Falcon & The Winter Soldier, we see he has grown old, was captured for decades, and experimented on. It's implied he fought Bucky and won, and may have done some other heroic battles, though was erased from history.

Seeing his history with a younger actor, showing the darker side of America, all while adding more and more context to the incredible performance of Carl Lumbly, would make for a fantastic miniseries, and could make an incredible political statement.
