A rant about captain Americas new wings

I know this is a very late post for a movie that’s nearly a year old now but my god the purple effect on Sam’s wings looks so bad. not only does it heavily clash with the suits colours but the effect looks awful. They also established that the kinetic energy effect could be different colours like with kilmongers yellow/ orange glow, so why couldn’t they make sams red/white/blue.

they had 3 colours to choose from and went with none of them. Ik they probably made it purple for casual audiences to understand but they explained it in the movie.

that was my rant thanks for attending what does everyone else think of this design choice

If we see it in doomsday it’ll look a million times better and it’s probably purple to remind you it’s from wakanda

That and also probably not many people watched Captain America (Falcon) and the Winter Soldier

At the same time Joaquin mentions that Sam got his wings from Wakanda like 2 minutes into the film, so I think letting go of the purple energy is a pretty easy sacrifice

I guess I’m in the minority because I’ve seen Falcon and Winter Soldier many times, mostly cause of John Walker, Zemo, and the Dora Milaje fight

FATWS >>> BNW (imo)

justafanboy10102026-01-18 02:21

Oh definitely true

WallStreetWets2026-01-18 02:45

Honestly not even close. The Walker scene alone hits a note that BNW never even gets close to

Yeah the show might as well have been the movie, would’ve gotten John Walker in front of more people ahead of Thunderbolts*

Because heroes can’t be their fucking own

I agree with you OP.

I was thinking exactly the same thing about the color of kinetic energy; I would have liked it to be blue.

Blame the Infinity Stones for color purple. It's about power.

Stevenwave2026-01-18 01:53

What? No it isn't. The power stone is purple, not all "power". Half the vibranium powered stuff is blue.

Space Stone (blue): Grants power over space and is housed in the Tesseract.

Mind Stone (yellow): Allows control over minds and was initially in the Chitauri Scepter, later placed in Vision's forehead.

Reality Stone (red): Can bend the laws of physics and alter reality; it appears as a fluid known as the Aether.

Power Stone (purple): An incredibly destructive stone that grants immense strength and energy, capable of destroying planets.

Time Stone (green): Gives the user power over time and is contained within the Eye of Agamotto.

Soul Stone (orange): Has the power to control life and death and was located on the planet Vormir.

What does this have to do with vibranium?

left-for-dead-99802026-01-18 02:24

Vibranium came from a meteor that was created when a Celestial who wielded the power stone destroyed a planet. That vibranium meteor landed in Wakanda and infused the heart shaped herb with power stone (purple) energy. Whenever you see power in Wakandan tech, it shows purple energy. They showed this in one of the Black Panther movies.

Woah cool thanks for the info

Ranos1312026-01-18 02:57

So then explain why Killmonger’s kinetic energy blast was yellow and why the blasts from Wakanda’s weapons and their shields are blue. They are all from vibranium. So by your logic, they should all be purple.

National-Yak14712026-01-18 02:18

I hate the wings and i hate the fact they've gone back to the blue/red suit. The white suit is so incredibly iconic for Sam as Captain America and it was so good in the series.

Ordinary-Chain-80472026-01-18 02:38

It’s probably a reminder it’s Wakanda but also why did they change Sam’s suit it was peak in FATWS!?

Melcrys292026-01-18 17:56

His suit was accidentally dropped overboard while on a Disney cruise.

Fares265972026-01-18 02:54

Since we're talking about this, I hate that Black Panther's shockwave has a color to it. Or maybe I hate the specific way the effect is done because it looks so Power Rangers to me.

I'd rather they make it look like a realistic shockwave, or make the excited particles in his surrounding emit purple radiation in a less silly way. I suppose one of the aspects that make it silly is that it's visible in broad daylight.
