[@twizzlerlemonpie3083]

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.

[@ineshomemcardoso]

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]

@@ineshomemcardoso 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!

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!!

[@estrangnoodle]

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

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.

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]

@@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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I think it would have been interesting like you said, having him work it out with Tony, and going to get the Power stone with Nebula. 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).

[@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.

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

[@cosmic572]

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

[@anthonymarshall6868]

Thanos: I am inevitable. Bucky: And I am The Winter Soldier. *snaps*

[@laurahunter1987]

Never thought about this before but you make some good points. I've always thought they should do more with Bucky.

[@itzz_carlitos1881]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@ms.govind]

How much for the arm?

[@cadenlobo2152]

The other arm

[@donovan802]

oh I’ll get that arm

[@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?

[@emilyreeves5989]

Great video dude!!! I totally agree with your views on what should happen to Bucky Barnes. Barnes, Captain America and the Falcon are my favorite characters.

[@jackson1087]

The broken shield thing is actually genius

[@user-vo1yu6hb1v]

I'm sure that scar (Didn't get an apology from Tony) will always remains in his heart forever !

[@TOY2SHO]

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

[@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

[@robertthikkurissy679]

This is so cool you should do: If T’Challa wasn’t snapped If Groot wasn’t snapped If Wanda wasn’t snapped If Sam wasn’t snapped If Mantis wasn’t snapped If Drax wasn’t snapped If Quill wasn’t snapped If Dr Strange wasn’t snapped If Peter Parker wasn’t snapped

[@robertthikkurissy679]

Like a series

[@ameliamae1015]

This is the GREATEST CHANNEL EVER!!

[@davekerr9815]

They made it up to Bucky and Sam in the Falcon and the Winter Soldier

[@perx7721]

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

[@englishlady9797]

I agree. Bucky is a criminally under-rated and under-used character who doesn't get nearly enough of a role in the movies. I for one would have loved to have seen him interact and work more with the original Avengers Team as I think he would have had a great deal to contribute. He should have been a lot more than just a machine-gun wielding badass dude in IF and Endgame. He has abilities and qualities which lend themselves to a lot more. Despite being damaged and broken by what HYDRA did to him, Bucky is also very smart and has a good head for strategy. You can see that to an extent in The First Avenger and a little bit in Ciivil War. He's also calmer and more level-headed that Steve and Tony. Tony tends to be ruled by emotions, whereas Bucky comes over as much more logical and stoic. Yes, he's wracked with guilt about his past, but I think he's able to put that aside when bigger things are at stake. Again, if the movies allowed him to have more screentime you could see it more but you get the odd hint. Whereas Steve will go in guns blazing and rely on old-fashioned heroics, or waste time talking Bucky will just get down to business and get things done quickly and efficiently and what's more he tends to plan in advance. Remmeber he was in an elite commando unit in WW2, and a sniper no less. Dude knows his onions when it comes to warfare. We should have got more sniper Bucky, taking out the bad guys with a single shot before they knew what hit them, instead of slow-mo explosions and devestation. The Avengers, for all I think they are cool aren't great when it comes to fighting. They cause a lot of uncesssary destruction and collateral damage... that's not Bucky's way at all. He's much more a "don't needlessly sacrifice anybody if you can do the job cleanly and efficiently by other means" guy. What's more, Bucky *respects* his opponents even if he doesn't like them. Tony tends to just be arrogant and assume he's better but Bucky actually looks at the strengths in their planning or approach. That's actually a good quality in a leader, because it means you are less likely to underestimate enemies or be blindsided. In short, I think Bucky would have been very well placed to deal with someone like Thanos by doing more than just firing at some space dogs...

[@user-ep8ns6hg4q]

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

[@slice0fsoup]

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

[@stephenqnesbit9730]

WOW AWESOME VIDEO AND EVERYTHING PLAYS OUT HOW MARVEL WOULD HAVE DONE IT

[@Wolffman109]

8:15 Well, what if Steve WAS the one who threw himself off of the cliff? I'd kind of like to see how that impacted Bucky's relationship with Tony. Think about it: Tony's already resentful that Bucky killed his parents, and now Steve's out of the picture. What if Tony blamed Bucky for Steve's demise?

[@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

[@robertthikkurissy8435]

Awesome vid!! Can you do a vid on what if Peter Quill survived the snap?

[@AlphaEarth]

I would have loved for Bucky to have more screen time ... 1) Bucky saved Steve's life in all 3 Cap Am movies, it would have been nice to carry that theme over in Endgame. 2) The idea that Bucky would have saved Pepper (and Morgan's) life, is simply brilliant. It would show Tony that Bucky isn't evil, and would serve as part of Bucky's redemption arc. 3) You're right, the shield shouldn't be the goal. Bucky is already technically a better solider than Cap. The point is, whether he is a better 'good man'. We forget that Bucky was a brother and father figure to Steve, before Steve got the super soldier serum. 4) What if Bucky was called up just a week later - he would have been the one given the super soldier serum, and ultimately become Cap America. Steve would still be trying to enlist in the army. It would even be possible, due to the frustration of being constantly rejected from the US army, Hydra - via some mode of trickery - could have enlisted him instead. 5) The story between Steve, Tony and Bucky isn't finished and because of that the shield had to go to Sam. To give the shield as things stand to the man who killed the maker of said shield, doesn't feel right. Yes Bucky was brain washed, but to Tony, he will always be the man who 'killed his mom'. If there was some sort of time travel element, it would be better for Howard Stark to hand over the shield to Bucky. But for that to work, half the Infinity Saga would need rewriting. 6) Love the idea of both Nebula and Bucky retrieving the power stone. The whole war machine story arc has been weak as water ever since Iron Man 2, and didn't add anything significant to Endgame. The 2 characters who had their power taken away from them, on an adventure to collect the power stone - that would have been, well powerful!

[@TheGoodGuy85]

As a life long fan of all things marvel , you sir, blew my mind.

[@tiffanypersaud3518]

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

[@Fhantomania]

It would be Cool if Ducky wasn't busted.

[@itatertot2299]

I was given a list of the Marvel movies to watch and instantly fell in love with what/how Bucky was. I too, after seeing him die and the fact that he was the first to die, was upset because there could have been so many ways to use him. there could have been so many different things that could have happened...what if he hadn't lost his arm when fighting iron man--what if his arm got ripped off during another fight? what if he hadn't gone to Wakanda yet, never got his mind right? what if in the blip years, bucky lost control in front of Steve and then he leaves---going to Wakanda to then get treatment, not being fully successful but partly there---then when it was time to come together and fight, he got a new arm. then after steve comes back old, and then after that, he goes back and finishes his treatment. why didn't we get this??

[@alexvillalobos2158]

What if vision was resurrected in endgame

[@kirby9035]

the fact that the events of Civil War were barely touched upon in Endgame really disappointed me. they basically blue balled us with no resolution, and it ended up fitting uncomfortably within the movie. i hated that so much. i wish they *really* talked about it, instead of Tony just taking his anger out on Steve, very vaguely if i remember ocrrectly. Tony has to understand how evil Hydra was and that Bucky had no control over his actions. even if he did and the brainwashing didnt work all of the time, how would he even say no in that situation? they'll just try some other way to force him into doing it or just kill him, or even threaten Steve. Tony was held captive in Afghanistan, and still has the PTSD from it, so i feel like he would have a lot more empathy for Bucky, at least in the future. Bucky is my favorite MCU and comic book character, so his lack of impact and screen time def pissed me off.

[@CiciSingsOfficial]

Agree one hundred percent! Like, there are so many fanfics out there that are all boo hoo for Tony and made Cap and Bucky seem like heartless idiots. That really makes me mad bc, as you said, Tony should really have more empathy especially after what he's been through himself. And, yeah, the lack of communication about it in Endgame/Infinity War also made me upset because we really needed a Fix-it, and Marvel didn't get us one. It really was just uncomfortable to watch and, put bluntly, not okay.

[@TheWolf-d2]

Where are you getting that Nebula was brainwashed? I tried to find it but nothing. Can someone please tell me?

[@luckierlime5245]

i think sam should of gotten the shield cause bucky is still healing and isnt ready to be captain america also the possibilty of a black captain america makes falcon and the winter soldier have real topics that can inspire alot
