Clearly you need to spend more time on my Tumblr. ;) I have them tagged under "good cop bad cop". They're great.
I haven't been on Tumblr in months... Might just go have a look!

That's because Sam occupies the space where a romance relationship would normally be. He and Steve have a connection, Steve opens up to him, Sam can see that Steve is feeling isolated and lonely so he opens up in turn. :)
Now that makes sense. Thank you. :) (Sidebar: WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN A ROMANCE???)

The Steve/Bucky friendship is covered in the first CapAm film ("The First Avenger"), you get much more focus on their relationship there so there isn't much here.
I have watched about 20 minutes of that...

Maria Hill, you see her in the first Avengers film and I agree it would be nice to have a film about her but no such luck. She ends up going to work for Tony Stark at the end of this film after SHIELD is disbanded.
Ta. I knew I'd seen her before, and was sad that I couldn't remember her name.

He turns up again in the third CapAm film Civil War although I don't know if you necessarily get 'more' of him but it does go a little into what it was like to be brainwashed and tortured and used as a weapon.
Cool. One day I'll watch that...

Right, except this film was made in 2013 and came out in 2014, before the mainstream realised that the alt-right was actually a real threat to democracy. In fact, the film's twist of the nice-seeming older white man being behind it all feels all too prescient now, sadly.
To be fair to it, the bad guy was PAINFULLY OBVIOUS - not because of recent events, but because of how these things ALWAYS GO. Sort of plotting-by-numbers. Nothing wrong with it per se (it's that kinda film, no one is shocked at Bond villains either), but it was not a twist.

Yeah, Bucky ends up in Wakanda at the end of "Civil War" because of various stuff that happens in that movie and Shuri has to go in and fix all the things that Hydra messed up.
Super smart teenage girls to the rescue!
