#than a simple assassination - no tactics or strategy or espionage required since he's not capable of doing that

#THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS WEEK#bucky doesn't have spy espionagey skills like nat other than what he learned as a sniper in WWII#the winter soldier is NOT a ghost he's a slow wrecking ball with a clean-up crew#also: MALICIOUS COMPLIANCE GOLEM BUCKY is SUCH a headcanon of mine#think sorcerers apprentice in fantasia#bucky barnes#bucky meta#meta#mcu#mcu meta#release the cracken#sidenote: if that copy of the tape in CACW was the only copy#then it implies hydra wanted proof of confirmed kills (like the tape)#especially given it was a 2 part mission of kill them and take the WS serum#but that also opens up the possibility...#that ALL of the existing proof of WS kills is in that bunker#tho tbh it never made any sense to me that MCU bucky was ever in russia#nazis aren't going to go to russia they ideologically hate russia they only went to south american countries cuz the rc. church sent them#but if all the nazis continuing hydra went to america under operation paperclip#including zola and fennhoff who work on bucky#then bucky never should've been in russia at all?? it's just inconvenient#it makes much more sense for him to be in america (in camp lehigh?) where all the relevant nazis are#he never should've been in russia at all??#maybe after the cold war ended and the nazis could expand sure#but otherwise??#anyway off topic... via amarriageoftrueminds

I’m re-watching Captain America Civil War and- They told Bucky to kill Tony’s parents without witnesses and he manages to find the probably only forest in the world with a random security camera by the road-side and kills them exactly in front of that security camera while looking right at said security camera when he disables it and also fails to make sure that the tape inside is destroyed how can you screw up so bad?
