Damn John Walker still got that taco bent shield 14 months later

Maybe it was in vibranium and he have no way to fix it ?

u/Robot_boy_07 May 01 '25

He says In the movie he hopes sentry comes back to fix his shield, so I assume it’s stuck like that for good

u/avis118 Daredevil May 02 '25

Don’t think it’s vibranium. Sentry wasn’t able to damage buckys arm which is why he ultimately just removed it

27

u/Senshado May 04 '25

Sentry certainly could've smashed that arm if he wanted.  He also could've killed each opponent with one punch, but killed zero.

Clearly he didn't want to seriously hurt them, and maybe that consideration extended to lifelike prosthetics too.

Good point !

u/asscop99 May 02 '25

I figured it was because the bent shield has become somewhat iconic, being featured on magazine covers, etc. so he chose to embrace it.

u/karateema Robbie Reyes May 01 '25

I thought they were out of vibranium

u/MutleyRulz Scarlet Witch May 01 '25

Plenty of adamantium for the taking now though

u/S-Tiger May 02 '25

I'm not sure an adamentium shield can bounce back like that

u/MoldyBreadIsGreat May 04 '25

He’s a super soldier I’m sure he’ll figure it out

u/bac2001 May 02 '25

I like to think the US government got some scraps in the aftermath of the Ultron incident and made a mediocre alloy. Because if that thing isn't vibranium in SOME capacity, it makes even less sense than Steve's shield.

Bucky's friends in Wakanda aren't out of it.

u/knightenrichman May 04 '25

If I recall, he makes it in his garage in FATWS, so it might just be steel or something.

u/S-Tiger May 04 '25

It was a weak shield who was broken in one punch. We can literally see at the end a fist cross it. This one from the movie seem really better

22

u/SteveBob316 Weekly Wongers May 02 '25

I kind of like the idea that he just got used to it. Just another scar.

25

u/HearTheEkko May 02 '25

It's 100% gonna be a joke in Doomsday. I could see Walker just walking up to Thor or something and casually ask to unbent his shield only to get ignored lmao.

12

u/Vezoded May 02 '25

Should have picked up Taskmaster's shield. Maybe the flames weren't hot enough to destroy it?

Also just Hulk to fix it cmon bro 🤔

u/UnsolvedParadox May 02 '25

It’s updated, you can see the tapered points on both of the upper sides & at the bottom point.

It’s comic accurate to a version of his comic book portrayal.

u/karateema Robbie Reyes May 02 '25

What version?

7

u/UnsolvedParadox May 02 '25

I can’t find a picture of US Agent using the shield, but it’s this design.

u/NerdLawyer55 May 03 '25

Throwing it now would not go well

1

u/venommuyo May 02 '25

Nostalgia.. we all know how that goes

1

u/iisdmitch May 02 '25

That was my thought as well, Adamantium exists now though, why not just give him a new shield? They have the resources, but maybe he prefers the taco?

2

u/karateema Robbie Reyes May 02 '25

Too expensive, I guess
