I seen a post earlier today (on Pinterest) comparing Steve's and John's Captain America suits. And how John's looks more hostile.
So I thought I should add some thoughts to this. When looking at the suits John's suit in Falcon and The Winter Soldier is missing white. The color that stands for innocence and purity. Which is fitting considering he killed a man in front of bunch of people, not even the person who actually killed his friend. John was not innocent not pure. He definitely just took the position for the fame and title.
Compared to Steves suit which most versions contain right. Steve took the position for the right reasons. He wanted to help not kill, not be famous.
I saw that post too! Some of it was good analysis, some of it was weird.
That would be so nice, but John didn't take it for fame. In the first episode, he says he hates the spotlight and just wants to do the job, and in episode 4, says he took the shield bc he was sick of doing bad things for the army and wanted something that felt right. It did come out like 5 years ago though so of course finer details get forgotten.
I do love how in TB* this imagery gets updated, his black suit has grubby white stripes because he's dealing with what he did, until the end, where the white is suddenly shiny because he's redeemed, he's an Avenger.

A Tangled/Rapunzel inspired Henderhop au with a side of Byler.
Princess Jane and Prince William are twins, but only days after her birth, Jane was stolen from her bassinet to never be seen again.
Rapunzel has lived her life trapped in tower. Gothel (Brenner or Henry?) says the world is too dangerous for people like her, people with her abilities. To pass the time, she reads, sews and paints, often depicting a boy who looks kind of like her, but she doesn't know who he is.
Every year on her birthday, she looks out towards the kingdom in the distance and watches the annual lantern. She longs to see it in person even asking Gothel to let her go on her 18th birthday.
Prince William lives his life longing for a sister he will never know. Their shared birthday is one he struggles to find joy in, but he appreciates the beauty of the lantern lighting. His friend, Michael, son of a nobleman, trains to be a knight, believes that Jane is still out there. Prince William, an artist himself, often paints a girl who looks a little like him, his sister, whom he will never meet.
Dustin, a commoner in the kingdom and a known thief, is evading capture from a group of palace knights when he stumbles on the Tower in the middle of the forest. Thinking fast, he scales the tower using a grappling hook contraption he invented to help in times like this.
The knights are unable to follow him, and are forced to retreat. But Sir Micheal spots a flicker of a girl in the top tower window. He is certain this must be her. This must be Jane.
He tries to share this news with the King, but King Hopper doesn't believe him. The other knights tease him for wanting to be the lost princesses knight in shining armor. He is furious because that isn't why he wants to find her at all. So, he goes to Will because if anyone would believe him, he would.
When Dustin comes to, he is tied to a chair, and his head is throbbing. He sees the girl who attacked him and is confused. She demands that he take her to see the lights. He relents and asks for her name. He says Rapunzel is too long, and he's pretty sure it's a type of cabbage? He suggests he call her El for short, and she loves it because she has never had a nickname before!
Prince William instantly believes Michael, and they devise a plan to go back and find her themselves. They decide they might need some help and go to their two old friends, Lucas, a ranger who is good at tracking people. And his partner, Max, a quick and brilliant fighter. The four of them retrace their way back to the tower, but when they get there, it is deserted.
William is rightfully disappointed, and he takes this out on Micheal. His whole life, he has been overshadowed by the loss of his sister. He wishes she were here because he feels the loss too, but he also wishes his best friend would stop dreaming about being her savior. Stop dreaming about a girl who might want him that doesn't even exist when he is right here! Mike is shocked, and he reveals he only ever wanted to find her to make Will happy. He would do anything to make Will happy. They probably have like an almost kiss, but then Lucas has spotted something that proves two people were here and left together. They set off to track the path.
Meanwhile, Dustin and El are at a nearby tavern. She is dancing and singing joyously with the patrons. Gothel is also tracking them, watching from the shadows and waiting for the right time to recapture her.
Dustin and El continue their journey, fighting off some knights who are after Dustin along the way. He gets injured, and she uses her abilities to heal him. He is amazed and confused because he has only heard of royals with magic abilities, like the sorcerer prince.
Dustin and El would get separated after the lantern lighting. Mike and the others would find and capture Dustin but El would be gone.
Gothel chooses this moment to take her and they return to the tower, and he convinces her that Dustin never cared for her and took the first opportunity to abandon her. But the seeds have been planted, and El connects the dots that she is the lost princess.
Dustin is in the castle dungeon. Lucas and Max think perhaps Mike was wrong about the girl since they never saw her. Dustin pleads with Mike and Will to release him and he will take them to her. Against the wishes of the king, they do this and the three of them go back to tower.
A fight ensues (if Gothel is Henry, we can reveal he has abilities too here) Will and Mike fight him as Dustin sneaks up to her room to find her.
Gothel gains the advantage of Will and Mike and takes off after Dustin and injures him gravely. Gothel takes El, and she begs to let her save him before they go. She goes to him, but he cuts her hair, the thing that holds her magic before she can help him. She cries over him as Mike and Will take the opportunity to attack Gothel again. Her tears magically healing him, the last trace of her magic.
El and Will reunite, the paintings in the tower look just like him. He thinks about how she looks much like he'd pictured her too, but even more beautiful.
They return to the castle, where Dustin is pardoned of his past crimes for his part in rescuing the princess.
Hopper also apologizes to Mike for not believing him and says he can grant him anything he wants, just not his daughters hand in marriage. Mike shakes his head and says he'd much rather have Wills hand, if Will wanted that too.
Jane finds it difficult to adjust to the life of a princess. But her brother is so supportive. She spends lots of time with Dustin, who becomes an inventor for the kingdom. After all, his own devices helped them scale the tower to save her.
