I saw on Twitter that in the She-Hulk finale, Jen was given the same ending as Sam and Bucky in tfaws. Cookout with the family & the new friend/boyfriend. I guess it's Kevin's vision of a perfect ending. It reminds me of all the memes about Sam and Bucky having the happiest of endings on phase 4 unlike Wanda, Loki, the Eternals, Peter and Moon Knight.
Well, that "happy" ending in TFATWS was laughable to say the least. Sure, Sam and Bucky were smiling and having that picnic with the family but Bucky never had his trauma recognized nor got any help for it, he was fresh from a re-traumatizing experience after he was told to visit the families of those murdered by Hydra and frankly I doubt he had any time to actually address his PTSD.
As for Sam, his character was treated horribly during the series (that is when the series spent time focused on him which wasn't often), what about Sam's character individually? His own PTSD, he had been dusted too, what about Riley, what does he think of Steve leaving, how is it possible that he never said anything about Natasha or Wanda despite all of them having to live as fugitives for a few years, etc.
And in the end absolutely nothing was changed? The system stayed the same, the GRC is still ongoing and doing who knows what, how long will the senators stop the repatriation? They didn't address anything! And that's not even mentioning Isaiah.
So surface-level? Sure, they got the "happiest" one but only because the series refused to pay any attention to them or their issues, they just left it at "now they're happy, Bucky has a family and Sam is Cap, what else do you want?!."
From what I've read Feige just wants to give a kid to everyone these days. Bruce is now a dad, Thor has to take care of a little girl, Stephen has America, Clint kind of parented Kate in his series... I think we all know what's coming in S2 of Loki lmao 😂🤢

The Winter Solider Project
“ Get out of my house.” Isaiah snarled. “ And don’t you dare go bother that girl. Not about this nonsense, she doesn’t need any of this. Not right now.” He yelled after them, as he kicked them out of his house in a fit of anger. Once on the street, Bucky looked at his feet preparing for Sam’s much needed fit of anger.
“Sam…” Bucky started.
“Why didn’t you tell me about Isaiah? How could nobody bring him up? I asked you a question, Bucky?” Sam asked, he could feel the anger rising in his face.
“I know.”
“Steve didn’t know about him?”
“He didn’t. I didn’t tell him.”
“So you’re telling me that there was a black Super Soldier decades ago and nobody knew about it? And what girl is he talking about?” Sam yelled. “ Where are you going? I asked you a question?”
“ You can yell at me on the way, we gotta get help?” Bucky said walking to the car.
“So, you did it all right, but it didn’t help with the nightmares.” Dr. Raynor said matter of factly.
“Well, like I said, I didn’t have any.” Bucky said, looking away to avoid the look in her eyes. The subtle look of disappointment and irritation, settled deep in her eyes.
“Look… one day, you’re gonna have to open up and understand that some people really do want to help you and that they can be trusted.” She said finally closing the notebook.. Bucky could finally relax knowing that the notebook was out of sight.
“I trust people.” Bucky lied. For a trained killer, he was a quite the horrible liar.
“Yeah? Give me your phone.” She said holding out an expectant hand. Bucky took the phone out of his pocket, and debated throwing it out of the window. But he didn’t, and handed her, his phone and watched her tap the screen nervously. ”You don’t have ten phone numbers on this thing. Oh, and you’ve been ignoring the texts from Sam. “ She smacked her lips. “ Oh my gosh, you’ve called Y/N 52 times this week, that’s sad.”
Bucky and Sam arrived on a plain looking front porch, with a plain looking motorcycle in the front yard. With a plain looking flower garden and a plain looking doorknob.
“ Where are we?” Sam asked.
Bucky started to respond, but the door swung open before he got the chance to respond. On the other side of the door stood a woman. She had a snarky smile on her face, and her eyes were narrow, her eyebrows furrowed together.
“ What did I miss a therapy appointment?” She asked rather plainly. She had a tall stature, and was planted firmly one her own two feet. Bucky’s eyes darted to the ground before, he looked up at her. With those eyes, she knew those stupid eyes. Those pleading eyes.“ What do you want?” She sighed.
“ I don’t want anything.” He lied. “ I smell cookies. Did you bake cookies?” He asked, brushing past her, and changing the subject. Y/N shook her head no slightly, while sighing. Her mouth pulled into a thin straight line. Then she flashed a very fake smile at Sam, and opened her arms in a welcoming motion. Sam nodded his head slightly then walked through the door.
Sam followed Y/N into the kitchen, surprised to see Bucky sitting on her kitchen counter. Sam quietly sat down at the dining room table. Bucky was rummaging through a container of cookies. And had one halfway out of his mouth.
“ Did you know I was coming?” He asked, through muffled words, a cookie still in his mouth.
“ No, why?”
“ You made me cookies.” Bucky laughed . A small smile fell upon Y/N’s face, but it soon dropped to one of sadness.
“ They are not for you, they are for my neighbor. Look Buck, it’s not that I don’t enjoy your company, but you want something.” Y/N said, opening the fridge for a bottle of water.
“ We need your help.” Sam interjected. “ I’m Sam Wilson, by the way.”
“ Nice to meet you Sam, I don’t know if Bucky told you, but I’m Y/N.” Y/N said, her eyes fell to the floor, as she leaned on her kitchen countertops. Sam smiled and nodded politely.
“ Why does that name sound familiar?” He asked.
“ Probably saw it somewhere on the news, I’m kind of famous.” Y/N said sarcastically. Bucky laughed.
“ Y/N I hate to ask-”
“ Then don’t.” Y/N spoke harshly, before she fled the kitchen.
“ Y/N wait.” Bucky called after her, his eyes fell to the floor. Then he muttered something to himself about being a crappy friend, before he hopped off the kitchen counter to follow her. Sam stayed in the kitchen, still very confused. He had no idea who this woman was, and why they need her help specifically. He was still reeling over the fact that there was a secret black super solider that nobody knew about.
Bucky followed Y/N into the hallway, very surprised to see that she was waiting for her in the hallway. Her tall and tough stature had diminished greatly, he shoulders were haunched over. It was almost as if a strong gust of wind would blow through the hallway and knock her over.
“ 5 minutes.” She started.
“ I know.” Bucky said, he was making direct eye contact with Y/N, with those sad and understanding eyes. Those eyes that were filled with guilt and sadness.
“ 5 minutes, I just wanted 5 minutes of peace. I’ve never had that, I’m never going to get that, am I?”
“ Y/N-”
“ I just wanted the world to stop spinning for a few minutes, so I could just have a break. I keep going from fight after fight after fight... most of them not by my choice. And when I finally get to chose, I’m still fighting. And just for a few moments, it was calm. Nobody wants me to kill anyone, nobody is actively hunting me down, and now you’re dragging me back into a fight because six teenage super soldiers are running rampant?”\
“ You know?”
“ Yes I know, I watch the news.” She snapped. She looked away, her eyes filling with tears, before she blinked them away. “ I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to snap at you, I just..”
“ I know. I’m sorry.” He apologized. “ We could just really need help.”
“ You’re gonna go see Zemo, aren’t you?” She asked finally looking at him. She stood taller now, firm on both her feet.
“ Yeah.” He replied.
“ You’re going to break him out of prison?” She asked already knowing what he was going to say.
“ More than likely”
“ Are we going to end up in Madripoor?”
“ Probably”
“ Great.” She concluded while nodding.
They both returned to the kitchen. Sam still sitting at the table waiting expectantly. Looking around at all the oddly decorated kitchen , when he realized. Exactly where he was. He was in Y/N Y/L/N house.
“ Oh my god.” Sam muttered to himself quietly. He remembered reading about her some years ago. She was a agent of HYDRA, just like Bucky. Brainwashed and made to kill. She was taken in the late 60′s. One of the first female Navy SEALs. HYDRA took her when she was not much older than 23. Credited with over 73 kills, 20 of those being high profile targets.
By this time, Y/N and Bucky were standing in the kitchen.
“ Ready?” Bucky asked. Sam nodded in response.
And with that they were out of the door. Y/N was doing a favor for Bucky, Bucky was currently holding a jar of cookies. Sam was still very confused.
“ Crap, I forgot to water my plants.” Y/N mumbled to herself quietly, before she ran back into the house.
“ Her and those succulents.” Bucky smiled to himself quietly.
“ Y/N L/N... were getting help from Y/N L/N. And you didn’t deem it a good idea to tell me.” Sam yelled.
“ Its not like we have much of an option.”
“ We don’t need anymore help , Bucky.”
“ We do. Do you realize what we are up against.”
“ No Bucky. I had no idea. We could get help from Walker.”
“ Not gonna happen Sam, I’m not doing that.”
“ Then what are we doing?” Sam yelled
Despite Y/N being all the way in her house. She did hear Sam and Bucky yelling. She assumed it was about her, and went back to watering her succulents. They were doing good, growing big and strong. Then she heard police sirens outside.
She ran outside to see Bucky in the back of a police car and Sam looking quite angry. She ran up to them to try and diffuse the situation.
“ What the heck is going on here?” She asked the police officer.
“ Are you Y/N L/N?” He asked, not awnsering her question.
“ Who wants to know?” She asked sarcastically.
“ Okay Ms. L/N, you’re under arrest.” He said reaching for Y/N, she backed up, trying not to let her reflexes take over. If they did, she would have body slammed him to the ground.
“ Woah.” Sam said stepping in between the pair. He saw the glassy eyed, and panicked look on her face. “ Lets all calm down.”
“ I wasn’t talking to you sir.” The police officer yelled, pushing him back, and grabbing at Y/N.
“ Why am I being arrested?”
“ You missed a therapy appointment.” He said, grabbing at her again.
“ What? No I didn’t.”
He ended up grabbing at her wrist before twisting her arm behind her back, and slamming her face down into the car. Y/N grunted as her head hit the car. She could hear Sam protesting, and tried to say something but she couldn’t speak, due to the massive gash on the side of her head. And the blood dripping from her nose.
