so far (since wednesday, meaning the beginning of the #firerickremender push on twitter):

I have been called a moron, a slut, an ugly bitch, a dumb cunt, a racist, and every other colorful, cruel, and sexist insult in the playbook.

I’ve been threatened with rape, been told…

weinersoldier:

…..so this happened.

This is why as much as I love parts of Marvel that I hate so much of old school comic books culture.

The r u a real fan thing just never stops. Even when I went into my local store for years I would get asked if it was for my boyfriend. Yeah, no. He hated comics (Commodore 64 games for him).

who of the howling commandos do you think was the closest to bucky (as in friendship)? do you think any of the howling commandos were protective of bucky especially after what he did for them when they were captured and knowing the torture bucky went through at the hands of HYDRA? or is it more of just respect for him? maybe a little of both?

[clutches heart] HOWLING COMMANDOS! You don’t know what you’ve unleashed asking me this, my god.

Okay first of all — if you have never read the comics prequel tie-in for CA: TFA, “The First Vengeance”, you’re missing out. They are a delight. In those comics, you see that Bucky had contracted pneumonia at the HYDRA factory and was beaten within half an inch of his life by one of his captors, Lohmer, because he was too weak to work. Before then, Falsworth, Dernier, Jones and Dugan didn’t get along at all. Different nationalities, rivalries, nobody likes the French, etc etc. When Bucky gets beaten with a fucking missile shell, it’s pretty apparent that he’s not going to be able to make another shift — Dugan says so, and even if another one of their guards might let Bucky off the hook for the first shift, Lohmer certainly won’t. SO WHAT DO THE COMMANDOS DO? (Note: they had been punching each other like, 5 panels before that) — They come up with a plan to kill Lohmer. So that it won’t give Bucky — or anyone else— anymore trouble. 

THERE IS THIS GLORIOUS PANEL WHICH MAKES MY HEART SING: 

“DUGAN, YOU DUM DUM.” I JUST. BUCKY. YOU ARE PRACTICALLY DEAD you were going to die three pages ago. Just. Please.
