Maybe, but figure "Invite yourself onto top secret military missions" is still probably not going to be one of them.

Why would it be top secret? And I would say yes, you fight against Thanos in IW or Endgame you get a bunch of extra privileges, like no taxes for life, free drinks at any bar, free university tuition, and in Bucky's case since he is also a WW2 vet free access to operational zones of military bases.

Honestly? Steve was not a good soldier. A hero to be sure, but he was a lousy soldier. If that grenade had been live, he'd have gotten himself killed before he could even become Captain America, so he lucked out that it was just a test.

If it HAD been live and Steve hadn't thrown himself on it, a bunch of soldiers would have been killed.

That's what I always assumed. A body isn't some kind of grenade shield. You throw yourself on something that explodes and wouldn't your bones just become shrapnel?

No, they wouldn't. It would limit the blast radius.

Grenades aren’t that powerful. Smothering them can shield others. Quite a few Medal of Honor recipients have been soldiers who saved lives by falling on a grenade. A few years ago there was the story of one who survived.

So the new Captain America isn't a super soldier, right? If so I'm calling bullshit on him using the shield like that. No ordinary human could.

 

It's always funny seeing  shows or movies set in germany.

At the terrorist hideouts there were flyers on the wall. Fine for the most part, but there was one that said "Erhalten Autoprobleme? Ruf Hank an.". That is not correct german and it's clear that somebody just put "got car trouble?" into google translate.

Then of course there was the big blue Autobahn-sign on a rural street. Couldn't they get some orange signs? Or was that supposed to be an Autobahn? It had cars driving in the same direction on both lanes. But then where were the other two lanes for cars to drive in the opposite direction? There was nothing for miles.

Then the bus stop sign that hasn't been used in like 30 years. Probably found it in the back of the prop closet. Reminds me of the green police cars in the first Avengers movie, when the cars in the real world had been blue for years. Ah, good times.

What got me the most was the "Osnabrück GmbH"...never knew that the city Osnabrück is now a company. But hey, they had at least the EU sign on the plates.

I randomly just remembered Thor's response to meeting Carol. What would his response be to meeting John?

Thor would tell Walker he wasn’t worthy to have the Shield, let alone the costume.

Banner would give Walker the "Puny God" greeting....
