Los Angeles Rams – Winter Soldier
The Rams started in Los Angeles in 1946. They moved to St. Louis in 1995 and quickly had success by winning a Super Bowl in 1999 and went back two years later. Soon after, they weren’t much of a threat.
They moved back to L.A. in 2016 and, since the move, they’ve improved each year. That included another trip to the Super Bowl in 2019 and again in 2022 when they took home the Vince Lombardi Trophy. These are signs that show the rams belong in L.A.
Bucky Barnes was an American soldier during World War 2. He was found almost dead and was brainwashed into working for Hydra. With the help of Steve Rogers, Bucky came back to his senses and was back where he belonged. This is a metaphor for how going home is usually a good thing. And if you’ve paid attention to the Rams recently, they’re just as dangerous as Bucky.
The Rams lost in the Super Bowl, but look at who they lost to. The Thanos, aka the big bad, of the NFL. A team that almost never loses. In the same way Bucky almost never loses unless it’s to a major threat like Iron Man or Thanos’ snap.
