Two characters who were both created in the 1940 who were also child sidekicks, wonder how they met

[or-echo]

YES!!!

I have so much to say in regards to comics Bucky. I just wanted to keep the original post concise.

I love how much they played with the idea of appearances vs reality. I like the focus on the masks that Bucky wears, and I liked how the propaganda element of his original character was incorporated into his modern characterization. It's all appearances.

In-universe, the comics make him look like an 8 year old when he's 16. He doubles as a propaganda figure and an efficient stealth agent/killer. Who suspects that the kid who's been infantilized in all public media is actually the one getting his hands dirty to clear the path? On top of that, I appreciate how they addressed how questionable it is that a 16 year old is actively and knowingly fighting for the military.

I think that with the modern depictions of WW2 era Bucky, you're *supposed* to judge him by his cover. I definitely did. It's one hell of a way to refresh a character; take advantage of readers taking him at face value and integrate that into his character. You're supposed to think of him as the one-dimensional kid sidekick archetype, because that's how he presents himself in-universe too- not that he doesn't take issue with it.

It's almost meta in a way, but playing with appearances is always a narrative device that I like.

Bucky, after stupidly rushing into a dangerous situation and having to be bailed out again and again:

Rivals made me feel like reading comics again, so I cracked open the Brubaker Captain America run to get the backstory of the second guy I was starting to main, the Winter Soldier.

Never going to forget the switch-up I had when I was reading the 'Captain America and Bucky' comic where I went from mercilessly making fun of classic sidekick Bucky and his stupid outfit to abruptly realizing "oh no, he's actually good."

I haven't properly drawn him as the Winter Soldier yet. I like drawing boy-scout Bucky though. The outfit is so ridiculous and ugly to look at that it circles back around to being fun. Definitely want to draw the Winter Soldier, though. It took him *all that* to get a decent-looking design? lol

anyone remember avengers / invaders? i get why they couldn't have too much of bucky interacting with himself but that doesn't mean that *i* can't imagine it. lol.

imagine if young bucky had managed to get a word in, instead of present bucky giving him a vague, ominous warning and then fucking off to god knows where. or, better yet, young bucky tries to follow up on what this weird replacement captain america warned him about earlier and starts to get naturally judgemental of his capabilities.

anyways, first "finished" artwork all year (it is a sketch) but it's something at least! also monumental since i'm getting adjusted to a new tablet & art software... so it's not perfect. but thats okay.

Thanks for tagging me!! :D This hasn't happened to me before either, LOL.

I won't quote it exactly since I don't wanna give locations away, but it was "is [a university I'm looking at] test optional" because I was *meant* to take a test today but ended up feeling too sick to get into the car. I missed it, but on the plus side, the uni *is* test optional!

It's been a long day.

I want to participate but don't know who to tag (don't follow that many people on Tumblr compared to other sides), so if you see this & want to, feel free to jump on!

LAST GOOGLE SEARCH and tag four people!

I was tagged by @francesthetraveller and hey how bout I start a new thread

WE DID IT!!!!

Wake tf up samurai, we got a crossover This was a joint-effort collaboration between myself and @or-echo!! We both are deeply fixated on each respective game of Cyberpunk 2077 and Deus Ex. I have not played Deus Ex and Echo has not played Cyberpunk YET we both ramble to each other often about our sunglasses cigarette men. Why not draw them together? They could be friends... maybe if fate allowed. Johnny was drawn by me and Adam was drawn by Echo!
