WARNING FOR CA:CW SPOILERS
Things That Happened to Samuel Thomas Wilson in Civil War:
- had to relive Riley’s fall when Rhodey went down
- became an internationally wanted criminal meaning he’s barred from seeing/contacting his family and friends for the forseeable future
- has likely had all military honors stripped from him for comitting treason
- is a human, was still imprisoned in an underwater fortress designed to hold people like the Hulk and Wanda
- has apparently been following Steve boundaries-are-for-other-people Rogers around for TWO YEARS
- due to being locked in PRISON Sam still does not know if Rhodey is okay or not
- did I mention that Sam had to relive Riley being shot out of the sky and being unable to save him, an event which has canonically contributed to his PTSD and which was one of the most traumatizing momentsof his career as a pararescuerer?
IN CONCLUSION
- sam wilson needs a fucking hug
- sam wilson needs a goddamn medal
- sam wilson is not okay
I’m willing to bet that Sam will continue to be a voice of comfort and emotional strength to his teammates too even after having all of this shit happen to him
