Of course they r different genres of story centered around very different characters and relationships and situations etc but i think also that just makes it funnier

#also i think what makes tws more effective (aside from there just being like. more intentional effort put into setting it up. like from #the first issue of cap vol. 5 its very clear that the point of it is to build up the circumstances necessary to reintroduce this character #into the narrative and then eventually push him center stage.)#is that its wayyyyyyyy less of a leap in logic for Bucky's character than it was for Jason. bc i mean. ofc there was the propaganda after #the fact trying to retcon jason into the angry and reckless robin. but even taking that into account #almost everything abt the red hood is an inversion of what jason was. and that is intentional and part of the drama of the story. but it #also takesmore effort to reconcile which is why we still have to make 3000000 posts analyzing and theorizing his character #Meanwhile for Bucky its like #he wasdoing winter soldier shit as a teenager during the war #died #continued obviously doing winter soldier shit as the winter soldier #got his memories back + shit #and then ran off to continue doingwinter soldier shit of his own volition against the appropriate targets #Like the conflict comes from thefact that he had no free will and thus was forced to kill indiscriminately according to his mission.#he doesnt seem to actually have much of a problem with anything he was made to do in a vacuum. which is why he keeps doing it #(im sure there was some uniquely vile shit at some pt i just havent read anything where he talks abt it yet LMAO)#and then he becomes captain america with a gun #and now as far as im aware. continues to be winter soldier. hes been doing this shit since hewas like 16 like 90 fucking years ago what els #is he supposed to do. And during all of this his personality remains roughly the same.#whereas Jason still being red hood in the very stagnant way that he has been for most of his career with no writer able to settleon what #his individual issues and problems (and fucking motivations) should be. is just goofy at this point. there was a sharp character split #established by his comeback followed by prolonged and insane deterioration of concept #also steve is not his fucking dad. steve is barely part of the equation. i mean its still gradually revealed to torment him like jason #tormented bruce but bucky had nothing to do with that nor does he have any qualms abt anything steve did #before or after he died Lmfao #ALSO just the in universe explanation for why the character is alive and were the fuck they have been is like 100% more grounded #and intelligible for bucky than jason opdif8ysg8ehspogp it actually makes me cry #UHHHHH superboy primePUNCHED THE TIMELINE so jason woke up and then clawed himself out of his coffin and then walkd around until he got hit #by a car ad ten eh wasin a coma and then the al ghulskjsfksd mjfisoeio9u0se09430[5-43[64] ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#judd winnick fighting for his life to explain that shit for no reason
