What If Bucky Hadn’t Been Dusted

EVERYTHING would have changed!
Subscribe to CBR: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-CBR
Bucky Barnes is one of the most interesting and complex characters in the MCU. He started out as Steve Rogers’ best friend, but over the course of the three phases, he became so much more.
From a war hero, he was brainwashed and turned into the Winter Soldier, a deadly assassin that shaped the century.
But after a long road, Bucky was finally able to regain his memories, and fix his fractured mind.
But then Avengers: Infinity War happened, and Bucky was the first to be snapped away, turning to dust with half of all life in the universe.
After watching Avengers: Endgame more times than humanly possible, I came to the realization that dusting Bucky might have been a mistake.
I think that Bucky should have survived the snap, since there are so many cool things Marvel could have done with him in Endgame.
There is obviously his unfinished business with Iron Man.
Bucky killed Tony Stark’s parents, and while things blew up in Captain America: Civil War, he never got an actual resolution for that. And we really needed a moment between Bucky and Tony.
Beyond that there is the fact that Bucky played such a big role in Captain America’s journey in the MCU, and it’s a shame the two war buddies didn’t get a chance to share more time in their final movie.
And so, it’s time to ask the What if question. What if Bucky didn’t get dusted. Well it’s time to see what would happen.

And honestly given the fact that Tony still wasn't over what happened with him and Steve its probably for the best that Bucky got dusted.

[@ineshomemcardoso5762]

And because of Stucky shippers. Let's just say that if Bucky and Steve are just interacting in a scene for 2 minutes, no fights, no big event happening, the directors and the characters would have to address the intimacy between them because it's clearly obvious. So, instead of leading with this, they just take Bucky's screentime, with or without Steve. And I think that's a shame, not only because I'm a big Stucky shipper (sry but it makes too much fucking sense), but because he's a great character on his own and we could've been so much deeper into his character arc...

[@Wolffman109]

Marvel has seemed insistent on wasting Bucky ever since Infinity War. It really sucks, because I think Bucky is one of the best characters in the MCU.

[@lotuslady9821]

@@ineshomemcardoso5762 It’s brotherly intimacy, it’s not sexual. Stop trying to erase healthy male relationships that aren’t sexual. Not everything between two men is gay. Stop trying to make two straight characters gay. It makes the actors, real people, uncomfortable when people ship their characters like this. I’ve said it before, it’s not queer baiting, it’s trying to have HEALTHY relationships between two straight men that should be normalized so that young boys can know that it’s OKAY to have a male friend who you can rely on for emotional support instead of expecting their future partner to be responsible for holding the weight of their emotions and problems. You want gay romance, I get it. But stop forcing it on STRAIGHT characters. And yes I know it’s going to take time for gay characters to become more prominent but the intimacy you are talking about is from two men who grew up together and have a familial bond. It’s normal. Not every male friendship is a Bro no Homo fest and shouldn’t be, normalize healthy friend ships between men!

[@Mivtch]

I got a theory and I just wanna say it. You wonder why all the male characters were wearing suits at Tony's funeral. Except Bucky with the black jacket. What I think is that Bucky thought Tony didn't want him at his funeral. And he had to get ready last minute because he *was* wanted at the funeral. Him being self conscious of what he did to Tony. And so getting ready last minute you don't know what to wear. So he just grabbed the darkest think he owned. And that's why he wants wearing a suit Tell me if I'm wrong. Maybe I am wrong. I don't know. But just. That is much theory about why he wants wearing a suit. Just a jacket

[@lordvenjix3757]

Iron Man's Endgame funeral is the Tragedy of his MCU Story Arc.Tony's funeral scene assembles an assortment of heroes from all corners of the MCU - including the surviving Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and the remnants of S.H.I.E.L.D. - as they watch Iron Man's arc reactor drift away. A symbolic representation of Tony's life as Iron Man, which has been on display for nearly every minute of his time within the MCU, the arc reactor and its prominence at the funeral seemingly disregards much of Tony's solo story within the franchise and it is clear that most of those in attendance have gathered to celebrate Iron Man as a symbol more than the real man inside the suit of armor.

I think Sam getting the shield was for the better. Steve was always America's golden boy, the perfect representation of what's right. Now imagine what Bucky would feel if he had to feel the constant pressure of living up to Steve's status, because he already feels like he's unworthy of redeeming himself. His character arc was just right, Bucky not getting the shield was for the best. Loved the video tho and I also agree, he shouldn't have been dusted!!

[@AlphaEarth]

The only issue with Cap and Bucky going to Vormir - as super soldiers. there's a chance that they would have survived the fall. Bucky already survived the fall in First Avenger, and Cap survived the plane crash in the same movie. It would be difficult to justify that in Endgame.

[@manonshelios]

Even if it would've crushed my heart, Bucky sacrificing himself in Vormir (after being forgiven by Tony) for Steve to get the mind stone would have been great writing. Wouldn't have changed the fact that Steve was going in the past with Tony and saw Peggy again. It would've made even more sense for Steve to go back and stay in the past since Bucky (a reminder of his past all along in the mcu movies) is "at peace" now. Wouldn't even stop Steve from giving the shield to Sam. Bucky would have had the redemption he needed and would've had been recognized like the hero he truly was in the first place. Not that it won't happen in the real MCU, but still. Don't get me wrong, I'm more than happy that we got to have Bucky in FAWS and even more in the future (more Sebastian Stan for us), but damn, that whole missed storyline is a shame. Also, now I need that version of the movie!

[@TIGER-xk4gk]

Bucky needed to be dusted to play into Infinity War's theme of balance and unbalance when the ying and yang separated and for Steve to understand losing everything as opposed to still having a little left which Endgame was about getting a second chance for getting back what you lost. If he survived it would of muddled the theme and make Steve's arc muddled

They have completely underused The Winter Soldier. In one movie they correctly show he is Caps equal physically and one of the most skilled fighters, marksmen and tacticians there is...a real force to be reckoned with. In the following movies he all of a sudden is less physically powerful and not even half as menacing as he used to be.

[@mariavi33]

Something interesting is that Howard was part of how Zola was able to turn Bucky into the winter soldier. Zola was invited to work for shield and the us along with other hydra scientists after ww2. That was how Zola was able to find Bucky and finish his experimentation on him. Then Zola tortured and brainwashed Bucky into becoming the winter soldier. Without the recources and freedom shield gave him he would have been unable to find Bucky, and to regrow hydra. Howard, Peggy and Colonel Phillips were the three founders of shield, and they would have to approve Zola working for them. We also see that Howard and Zola were working together in endgame, when Steve and Tony go to 1970 for the tesseract. Of course Howard was not aware of any of this, but he and anyone else who enabled Zola to get the freedom and recources he did still played a part in what happend. And they made their choices, unlike Bucky who never had one.

[@dbhamilton25]

Loved the video. Well thought out What If. But as a fellow Bucky fan, I'd say be open minded for the Falcon & Winter Soldier, as Bucky could still end up with the shield. Something temporary or permanent could happen to Falcon. Also Mackie handed Stan the shield on stage at a Comic Con, maybe a tease of what could come.

[@damien1117]

I really hope so

[@hawkins347]

People are forgetting that Bucky is probably not ready to take up the shield, even Sebastian himself said so. He was a brainwashed weapon like two movies ago. He just got freed of his conditioning and still needs time to figure himself out and be his own person, then he can take up the shield. Besides, it seems like he's being groomed to be a part of the future Black Panther movies, what with being called the White Wolf.

[@damien1117]

hawkins347 that’s stupid no he shouldn’t be white wolf I don’t care let him be cap after Sam all signs were pointing to him as cap but the real reason was they wanted diversity which is a dumb reason so he should be cap later in the line

[@hawkins347]

@@damien1117 Stop thinking about irrelevant outside factors and think about the choice in-universe. Huge part of the plot of Falcon and the Winter Soldier is going to be about the US government not accepting relatively unproblematic Sam as the next Captain America. Giving the shield to still wanted former brainwashed assassin would cause even bigger shitstorm. And just because Bucky didn't get the shield doesn't mean there won't be fun things for him to do or that that he won't get it in the future when he's ready to assume the role.

[@englishlady9797]

Initial reports for Thunderbolts are not good. Filming for a month and he hasn't even been seen on set yet. It seems to be more about Yelena. I fear the simple truth is that the MCU writers don't care about Bucky anymore... which is a crying shame. He doesn't just have a lot of potential, he's arguably one of the smartest characters and has a lot of the qualities of a good leader. People sometimes forget that he initially outranked Steve in the army: Steve didn't have any military rank until he pulled that stunt with the prison camp, and then was given basically an honourary promotion for his service. I recall that shot in The First Avenger where it shows the two of them on an operation which kind of illustrates the differences in their personality. Whereas Steve is kind of posing for the camera Bucky is thoroughly absorbed looking at maps of the terrain. He's planning and thinking things through whereas Steve is just... being Steve.

For sure wouldn't have wanted him to go get the Soul stone with Steve cause then he would be gone and Steve would probably still go back to Peggy, and then Sam would be alone to carry the Cap mantle and that's sad. But I strongly disagree with Bucky and the shield, maybe it would have been different if he hadn't been dusted, but I was and am SO on board with Sam being Cap. And I'm actually lowkey insulted that anyone thinks Bucky needs the shield to become his own hero? Even the broken one? Like no. He doesn't. And he is proving that now I think that TFATWS is over. He's becoming his own hero (though its not complete yet), and he's supporting Sam, while Sam is supporting him. They are two halves of a whole Cap legacy, while rising above it at the same time (literally in Sam's case, 'cause wings).

This is the GREATEST CHANNEL EVER!!

[@alexzaragoza161]

Finally! THANK YOU

[@beccarola]

War Machine being dusted would’ve made Tony more volatile as well, since while Steve would’ve kept his best friend, Tony would’ve lost Rhodey.

[@dk3rox]

I love your videos!!!!!! Please make more Pokémon related videos

[@Extinguisher10]

You guys seriously need a new comic book movie to come out!

[@jackson1087]

The broken shield thing is actually genius

[@Gagaloopony]

I don't know who at CBR is the Bucky stan making these videos, but whoever you are, I appreciate you

[@silversauceran]

the nebula bucky connection is genius

[@thedarkprince305]

His second arm was made by Shuri right so it's the same material as Captain Shield. Can it be possible for Shuri to get him a upgrade to his arm like have parts of his arm, like his forearm, turn into a shield when he is fighting hand to hand and it could be use as a defense. But he won't be able to throw

Bucky Deserves More But Finally Bucky get his own tv series with falcon

[@user-ep8ns6hg4q]

I think it would have been Bucky and Cap to go for the soul stone if he was involved.

[@TOY2SHO]

My gad the idea of Bucky and Steve going to Vormir.. I cant.

[@emilysamoliuk8712]

This video is gold

[@loslylale2825]

If you say that WS will trade for his life for the soul stone . What happens to Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney Plus. You never think through this CBR.

[@swara4704]

Bucky's winter soldier mask turned out to be a warning for corona

[@itzz_carlitos1881]

That’s why in Tony funeral Bucky was really sad since he never had the chance to apologize Tony

[@Valure-rixiy]

Love your vids

[@slice0fsoup]

Bro I’m so early so ima just watc the vid

[@alexvillalobos2158]

What if vision was resurrected in endgame

[@Vana1970]

In the comics Bucky did get the shield before Sam Wilson. The Russo brothers though were right, they said Bucky would be too traumatised to be placed into that position and without yet having been pardoned for his actions as WS, the rest of the world would not have just accepted him.

[@perx7721]

It would be crazy if Bucky and cap went to vormir to get the soul stone...

[@maxthefx]

great vid

[@tiffanypersaud3518]

Yes. Especially about Bucky's arc and Nebula's arc.

[@sodu5698]

i agree and for the time heist i feel like if he also went to new york and mistaked old steve for the new steve would've been an iconic moment

[@ciaraarnold9573]

The more I watch this video the better it gets, especially the part about him and Nebula. Bucky is one of my favorite characters, and it's always a little bit sad to be reminded of how little screen time he has. If they made Endgame with Bucky in it, it would be way more interesting and tie up some loose ends. Plus I might watch it more.

[@fd221b]

honestly one of the things that got me excited to watch endgame because I thought Bucky and Tony were going to talk to each other. But that didn't happen, that kinda made me sad

[@AgathaVitoriaTavares]

Had to stop at the 7min mark cause I legit started crying with the Bucky/Nebula paralels From now on, I'm gonna pretend that this video is canon and no one can tell me otherwise Bucky with the broken shield is just *chef's kiss* honestly

[@RandomResearch57]

Bucky is my favorite marvel character

[@MateoSobak]

Man i love so mach your theory

[@JessicasASMR]

It also logically doesn’t make any sense why they reduced Bucky’ character to what it was. Like he was literally a super solider?? He has super strength and a vibranium arm along with tons of other abilities? But we only ever see him shooting a gun? What?

[@LucasHopkins2006]

I think something that could happen when it comes to War Machine in this What If is this, he and Bucky are swapped. This would keep the whole thing people noticed that half the Avengers in Infinity War were snapped, and could even further fuel Tony’s anger towards Bucky at the beginning since he just lost to Thanos which he saw from his vision in Age of Ultron, and in the process he lost two people who were like a son and brother to him in Peter and Rhodey so he’s even more furious now. I do like how all four of the OG Iron Man trilogy characters survived but for this scenario, I can give or take that whole thing

[@englishlady9797]

I understand seeing it in terms of Tony, as Tony is like the leader, and tension makes for good storytelling, but I really think Bucky is under-used even in this scenario. Bucky actually has a lot of the qualities of a good leader, including a calm and generally level-headed nature, a good head for strategy, respect for his opponents, and understanding the consequences of his actions and descisions. Not many of the characters in the MCU seem to have those qualities. I personally don't think he'd do something impulsive like saving someone unless it served the greater objective, because that's just how his mind works. He actually deserves to have some leadership role because I think he'd do a good job.

[@simply_marvelous]

FATWS SB trailer just dropped! I literally can’t wait for it!

[@ImzyH]

Ik how about cbr also do more episode what if like this but with different characters such as what if wanda wasnt dusted or black panther or even spiderman
