I frequently talk about Arnie Roth here, Steve Roger's childhood best friend in the comics, and how he was taken and heavily incorporated into MCU Bucky, but with the very important context of his identity as gay and Jewish, which deeply impacts his story and without it that very important narrative loses all its meaning and impact, intentionally left out (along with many other marginalized characters).
I also talk about how his creator J.M. DeMatteis has spoken about how they took Arnie and the total lack of compensation or credit he has received.
Since the MCU is determined to erase Arnie Roth's identity, despite greatly benefiting from their use of his character in MCU Bucky, a great way to fight back against that erasure it is to include his ethnoreligious Jewish identity and his gay identity, both of which are integral to every aspect of his story, in your interpretation of him.
It's also important to learn about Arnie Roth engage with his story in its own right, as well as making it more widely known he's the basis of MCU Bucky.

Robin Lives!
OK, I can't get over Robin Lives. I have so many jumbled thoughts about it:
In the end, Bruce picked Jason. For all of those who say that Bruce doesn't love him, when the chips were down, Bruce picked Jason again and again and again. He picked Jason when he chose to conceal Jason's murder of the Joker, he picked Jason when he chose to build his life around Jason's recovery, and he picked Jason initially off the street which caused this whole macabre adventure.
Dick really got the short end of the stick here. Solid eldest child syndrome, he got to bear the responsibility of being Batman while Bruce spent time with Jason instead of him. And really, where does Dick go from being Batman? In real life, we saw his journey, we saw him grow up. He doesn't get that here. Instead, he gets to fight Jason.
I feel like this affirms Bruce's no-kill rule. I chose to believe that Jason's psychotic break is caused by Joker's murder (obviously, the hell he went through before that did not help), and that one of the take-aways from this book is that children shouldn't kill people.
This largely makes me grateful for the mainline universe.

Steve Roger's childhood best friend in the comics, Arnie Roth was taken and heavily incorporated into MCU Bucky, forming the entire basis of his character and his relationship with Steve.
Unfortunately, the very important context of his identity as gay and Jewish, which deeply impact the parts of his story that the MCU took, have been intentionally left out. Without him being gay and Jewish in canon, those vital parts of his story lose the intention and depth behind them being included by his creator, J.M. DeMatteis, making his character one dimensional.
A great way to counteract the erasure the MCU is engaging in is to include his Jewish identity and his gay identity in your interpretation of MCU Bucky, along with taking the time to learn about Arnie Roth as his own character and the important historic moment he was introduced in.
