Having just rewatched TFATWS for the millionth time, I am now entirely convinced that the government wanted John Walker to be nothing more than really just a poster boy/mascot, a placebo to calm the people and make it seem like they have a plan, he was never supposed to actually do anything more than wave and smile like Steve was doing in the old days on that USO tour. John was never supposed to truly fix this Flag Smasher problem, he was never supposed to seriously be a hero, because if he was, then why the fuck didn’t they give him a super soldier serum before sending him out into a battlefield that they knew full well would be dangerous as hell and would leave him physically outmatched and unable to do his job??

Because you can’t tell me that the government don’t have access to some knock off super soldier serum they could use. You can’t tell me that if they seriously wanted a real Captain America to solve their problems, they wouldn’t have juiced up John and Lemar from the get go and gave them all the weapons and field support to take out the enemy. And you can’t tell me that they wouldn’t have given John and Lemar some experimental drug because they’re concerned about their health, come on, none of us are that naive as to think they give a shit about some random soldier’s health and well being.

They sent two guys with no powers and armed with nothing more than two handguns and a metal frisbee between them to face off a larger group with super powers and a global support system. You can’t convince me that the government thought this was ever gonna end up turning out well. At best, John and Lemar was supposed to just appear like they’re doing the job and really just killing time on wild goose chases. At worst, John and Lemar were lambs to the slaughter, they’re supposed to die in the fight to turn the public tide against the Flag Smashers and bring good PR and support for the government to be able to then use to silence their enemies.

You really can’t convince me that the government genuinely thought sending a regular guy in a costume out into battle was a great plan. You just can’t. It makes no sense to this government who’s always been shady and planning stuff behind the scenes and always quick to take advantage of everything and certainly had no qualms about risking people’s health with juicing them up on experimental drugs, just one day decided to do things “the right way” and wasn’t plotting some trick to get ahead.

Hell, there’s no way they didn’t consider making the new Cap also a super soldier just like the old Cap, which means the fact that they didn’t do it is incredibly suspicious, and don’t say they don’t have the serum, the government has plenty of back up serums they could have used or tested. John and Lemar not having the serum, when even in the comics they had the serum first before the government considered them, makes no sense unless you consider that they were never meant to actually do anything more than present a public distraction/placebo.

What the government didn’t intend on is John and Lemar taking that job actually seriously. What they didn’t intend on is Lemar dying and John surviving and giving them bad PR. What they didn’t intend on is John actually getting his hands on the serum and using it. But hey, the moment that happened, they had someone ready to pick John up even as they hang him out to dry publicly. And they knew he had the serum even though John didn’t tell anyone and only Sam and Bucky would have known and they certainly didn’t tell anyone either. So yeah, a government that seems to know everything yet somehow not knowing John’s tenure as Cap was gonna end up as anything other than a complete mess is just not realistic to me.

They set him up to fail, to not be effective at doing much anything other than wave and smile. He was supposed to just cosplay a hero, not actually try to go out and be one. He was supposed to be a brand™️, not an actual soldier.

If I was writing MCU, I would confirm this in John’s future stories and play out the consequences of John finding out about the manipulations behind his Cap role, after all it’s not as if the government in the comics didn’t also spend plenty of times trying to manipulate John, even straight up just wiping his memories and lying to him about doing it. Besides, not only does this give the fans a sympathetic lens with which to view John as a character and actually support him on (something Marvel seems to want with him now being a protagonist of an upcoming film), it also organically fits into the story of the shady government arc that the MCU has clearly been building up.

Hi! SamBucky Cosplay??

Hello! Ooh, this one's fun. It's going to be pretty long, when (if) I eventually write it. The fic takes place shortly after TFATWS, and Bucky is staying with Sam's family in Delacroix. Sam and Bucky slowly start to figure out their feelings for each other over the course of a couple weeks of con crunch. Slow burn, lots of family fluff, sprinkle in angst for flavor, and - of course - pining.

This is actually my oldest WIP and my longest (I think my current draft is like 124 k), but I it's really sloppy and unorganized and the pacing is terrible, so I really need to go in and do a total rewrite.

Anyway, here's a snippet:

They’re sitting around the dinner table eating an excellent batch of seafood gumbo when Sarah points her fork at Sam and addresses Bucky. “Did he talk to you like I asked him to?”

Bucky looks up, brow furrowing. “Uh, maybe?” he asks. “What about?”

“Next Friday,” Sarah says.

“Do you need me to leave by then?” Bucky asks. He’s still confused, and there’s disappointment in his eyes, but he’s doing well to hide it.

“No, no,” Sarah says. “Stay as long as you want. He was supposed to talk to you about taking a trip with us for the weekend.”

The boys perk up at that, and AJ is the first to catch on.

“You got the tickets?” he asks, grinning.

“Tickets for what?” Bucky asks.

Sarah shoots Sam a dirty look, and Sam sighs, raising his hands in surrender. “Bucky,” Sam says. “Do you remember that time we talked about cosplay and maybe going to a con someday?”

“I do,” Bucky says. Then suddenly, he gets it. His eyebrows shoot up, and there’s an incredulous smile pulling at the corners of his mouth. “Are we going?”

“Yes!” Cass screams. “Dibs on Gimli!”

“Dibs on Gandalf!” AJ shouts immediately after.

“Boys, volume!” Sarah says. They quiet but continue giggling with each other. She turns back to Bucky. “We were kind of hoping you wouldn’t mind us tagging along with you and Sam, maybe doing a group costume with you guys, if you’re okay with that, of course. We like Lord of the Rings, too.”

I will probably delete this later but loud and unfriendly reminder I do not tolerate Sam Wilson slander on this blog.

Calling Sam a "cosplaying Captain America". Really? And Steve dressed in tights and stripes is not "cosplaying" Captain America?? Captain America is a cosplay from day one, what's always been important is the man carrying that mantle not the stupid costume. Sam did the job and stayed true to his values, and that makes him just as worthy as any other character that carried the shield to be called Cap.

And you come onto a post criticising the inappropriate sexualisation of Steve, latch onto the one brief line about MCU canon ignoring Sam since TFATWS, and decide to bring up some obscure comics reference of an underage romantic partner as justification that fandom should not see MCU-Sam as attractive or sexually active.

Blocked.

omg an essay for college even?! that is fantastic, i hope you got a good grade for it and whoever read it felt enlightened about our lord and savior bucky barnes! if you work better with rubrics, maybe i can ask you a few things i am randomly curious about? which is your favorite bucky look (comics and mcu) and why? what is your favorite and least favorite relationship/friendship that bucky has (comics and mcu)? how much do you want mcu bucky to finally get his mcu alpine? bloody civil war bucky or bloody tfatws bucky? what do you think mcu should have handled better when it comes to bucky's character? what do you think about bucky wearing a blue shirt under his blue henley in tfatws? do you hc bucky to drink his coffee black or sugary af? any thoughts of nebula seemingly stealing (??) bucky's arm in the guardians of the galaxy xmas special?

Omg okay, this totally didn’t take me three days but ah, I’m putting it under a read more cuz it got out of hand 😅

Okay, okay so,  my favorite bucky look hands down comes from the 2016 Thunderbolts run I mean just!! Look at him. The hair? Iconic, they made it extra long in this series which is something that is so special to me. 

and then?? They went with the half mask he wears in the mcu which is just everything to me. Don’t get me wrong, I love the domino mask he usually wears but this??  GODDAMN

They did objectively go with a pretty simple design on the suit, which does lose some points in my book but long hair + half mask bucky owns my ass in the most truly embarrassing way. I do need to give a shout out to just the iconic winter soldier era in the mcu, because that look did things to me. But honestly? my favorite look for him in the mcu is handsdown the infinity war/endgame look. The blue suit looks so good on him and the beard?? i’m fucking weak in the knees. If we can’t get long haired bucky back in thunderbolts I need that beard back for fucking unholy reasons. 

Now, my most favorite relationship for him is without question Natasha. Like me and my bestie @mooneyknight cosplayed bucky and natasha at comic con and it was the HIGHLIGHT of my life. But just their dynamic?? God, it’s so fucking tragic, they love each other so much but the timing is just never quite right for them. It’s like a greek tragedy I swear to god. Plus the dynamic of broody man loves + woman who can and will kick his ass? chefs fucking kiss oh my god. They would have been too sexy and powerful for the mcu to handle and that’s my bit and I’m sticking too it lmao. My least favorite relationship though don’t come for me I s2g is definitely with Steve. Like, I just love seeing a platonic relationship that’s that important to the people involved. I feel like friendship often gets pushed to the side for romance, people can be that important to each other without being in love with one another ya know? And don’t get me wrong I 100% headcannon bucky as being bi, but steve.. he just ain’t in for me because I just love their dynamic as friends way too much to actually ship them together?? Idk as someone who puts friends over romance, I can’t lie romance does kinda gross me out when applied to myself, it’s just?? it’s very personal to me to see a friendship be that important and life changing on screen. 

Now for Alpine in the mcu, I would literally kill to make that happen. But I heard sebstan is allergic to cats so fuckin rip there, i guess. I really would have loved it though, bucky and alpine is literally the cutest thing the comics have ever done. But I also just feel like seeing bucky, this straight up badass with a cat he’d kill for is top tier. I want it so bad, I’m gonna shove antihistamines down sebstans throat if that’s what it takes lol.

BUT BLOODY CIVIL WAR BUCKY ALL THE WAY I just loved how fucking tragic his arc was that entire movie, don’t get me wrong, bloody tfatws bucky is everything, but when I get to see a man a pathetic wet dog of a man covered in blood?? oh that’s gonna win every damn time. Plus, he still had the long hair and idk what was in the water on the set of that movie but he looked so good, I’m still not over it. I’ll never be over it. 

Now, what I think the mcu could have handled better is ahhh, fucking everything? I feel like so much of what we could and should have gotten was pretty much forgot about. I will die on the hill of civil war should have been serpent society, civil war should have just been another avengers movie they threw in there. I wanted to see way more of what happened with bucky while he was with hydra, I wanted to see more of his character arc in getting over what he did as the winter soldier and then get to reclaim that title for himself not whatever that whole... random white wolf line was, especially given the fact that the white wolf is a whole ass other completely unrelated character in the comics. Like I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it either, it was really confusing honestly. But it would have just been incredible to see an actual arc for the character and not so much of what happened to him happening offscreen ya know? I feel like tfatws did some justice in that regards but still, it was happening a bit too late in the story for me to let bygones be bygones there. It would have also been incredible to at least have flashbacks to him training natasha in the red room. They possibly?? hinted at something like that in civil war but even then, there’s just so much there that would have flesh out both bucky and natashas characters so much more and for the better. Even if it didn’t have them together I would have been happy with just any indication that they knew each other before ya know? Anyhow I could scream all day about this lmao so I’m just gonna move on. 

But for his whole blue on blue look? ugh yes, I feel like it does dive into him being uncomfortable with himself, like dudes wearing layers on layers in Louisiana, I’d die of a goddamn heat stroke if I tried that shit. but also ultimately I do think just aesthetically it’s a good look for him lmao. layers king my beloved <3

OKAY NOW THIS QUESTION YOU NEED TO KNOW SPARKED A HUGE DEBATE BETWEEN ME AND A FRIEND lmfao so since the super soldier serum gives enhanced senses it’s probably fair game to assume that means his sense of taste is probably also enhanced, right? so I’m going to go with black coffee here because of that. my thinking is that so he’s coming here from the 40s, they just in general had a lot less sugar in foods and then he spent 70 years captured by hydra and I don’t think they’re exactly going to be giving their literal prisoner of war turned assassin candy every time he kills someone. And oof, let me tell you once you get sugar out of your diet sugary drinks are incredibly overwhelming. So I don’t think bucky, mr “i don’t even sleep on a bed,” is going to brow beat himself into like sugar again. I think he’s probably just going to stick with black. On the other hand I do think it would be absolutely hilarious if he did brow beat himself into liking sugar again and proceeded to solely drink starbucks frappuccinos lol. Like I don’t think that’s probably what he’s doing but it’s a fun thought regardless. 

But oh boy, as for nebula stealing his arm man, I have conflicting thoughts. cuz like if you don’t critically think about it, the thought of nebula showing up on buckys door step all “give me your arm ice boy” is kinda funny. solely because nebula is well, nebula. But ahhh objectively, stealing someones prosthetic isn’t really, ah, morally sound. Then again this is fiction, so no one actually got hurt by this. But still, definitely not the best move on disney’s part. Honestly, my two cents is I hope that this was disneys way of getting us back to a silver arm. Like, I like the black and gold one but the silver? Fucking iconic and I lowkey want that back lol. But let me tell ya, what I don’t want is this never being addressed again. Like, I need to know what happened here. Because as impressive as nebula is, I don’t buy that she strong armed bucky into it and he’s also not just... letting her take his fucking arm so. What the fuck, disney, explain yourselves.
