You know, the first time I saw the movie, when Sam mentions Riley, I paid attention and I cared about Sam’s story and his pain, but I also saw it for what it was: an obvious parallel for Bucky and a reason for Sam to get out. If that had been the only mention of him, and you had asked me at the end of the movie why Sam left the military, I would have said, “He lost his wingman. Riley? Yeah, Riley,” but I didn’t give it a lot of thought.
