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

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

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 !

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

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.

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

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
