me on a date: how do you feel about Bucky Barnes?
them: oh he was the bad guy in Captain America 2, right?
me, shoving breadsticks into my purse: sorry but i have to go home right now immediately
what if bucky wasn’t saying “help” as in “help me get free” what if he was saying help as in “help me get rid of this arm” because he knows, he remembers all the damage it can and has done, and he can’t deal with the constant reminder of all the terrible things he’s done?
Just got back from Ant-Man. More about the movie later. First, the end-credits scene:
– Sam and Steve DO NOT look like they just faught someone. Rather, Steve looks emotionally exhausted and smeared w (mechanical?) grease.
– they enter a garage/warehouse to reveal Bucky, who is sitting on a chair, face down and covered w his hair. His metal arm is caught in a machine (vice??)
– Bucky is wearing civilian clothes; slacks and a red Henley. We see Steve’s face; he looks stricken. Bucky looks at him, eyes pleading. (I’m not exaggerating this)
– Sam and steve start talking about how to get him free (Steve vetoes calling Stark: Sam suggests someone else “I know a guy”)
i love how all it takes is a 10-15 second clip of bucky looking wrecked and sad while looking at steve who is also wrecked and sad for the entire fandom to come crawling back to life like zombies from the grave destroying everything in their path
