Well, look who finally got with the program.

About time, kids.

Guys prepare all the stucky
let them know, let them hear us

Okay, I am begging you, can we not do that? We don’t need to harass them about our ship on their first day on IG (or any day, for that matter). We love the movies because we love the movies. I would hope we love them more than just because of a particular pairing we care about (and Stucky is not the only pairing for these two). I do NOT want that to be our legacy with the Russos.

What she said. Please.

Ugh. 800 comments in and war already. Really? How about stop deluging them? Please. They’re signed up to direct Infinity War 1 & 2. They are already committed to a slate of movies. How about we let them do that?

But look at the difference between Bucky’s Winter Soldier outfits!

With HYDRA, it was all about being restrained. The straps across his chest resembled a 1940s straightjacket. He had a muzzle to hide his expression and was weighed down with every type of weapon strapped to his body, a constant reminder of his purpose. A leather jacket isn’t very forgiving for movement (nor are kneepads), and the black cargo pants look standard, nothing special.

But on his own? The Winter Soldier outfit is less elaborate and very modest. Bucky’s wearing jeans: no knee pads, nothing that would hinder his movement. Gone is the straightjacket appearance, leaving him less restrained; Bucky’s replaced it with some sort of breathable material that’s easily layered and easily removed. No muzzle, no goggles, and he’s added a glove to his right hand for his personal protection. He’s limited his weapons to personal preference. He’s brushed the hair out of his face, and removed anything from around his neck. 

Bucky’s no longer a weapon, meant to look threatening – he’s added comfort and personality to his appearance. The outfit is suited to his needs, not HYDRAs.

My question is: what is Steve Rogers’s body count?
…
We don’t talk about that a lot because he’s an American Hero ™ and American Heroes don’t ever actually kill people even when they’re, you know, soldiers in the actual fucking Army.  The American Hero has to show mercy and give everybody a second chance and any time the Bad Guy dies, it has to be because he made a mistake that lead to his own death.  The hero can never actually just fucking murder him in our stories because that would be wrong and a true American would never do something like that.

So, like, has Steve Rogers ever shot a dude in the face?  Has he ever snapped anybody’s neck?  Has he ever been struggling for his own life and used his shield to take a life?

If you have either canon comics knowledge or just Opinions and Feelings, please feel free to share.  Because, like, dude was a soldier in WWII on the European Front fighting Nazis, kicking open doors with gun literally blazing, so he’s obviously killed people, but we never discuss this.  How does Steve reconcile killing?  Does he feel guilt?  Is he comfortable with his actions?  Has he killed people since he got pulled out of the ice?  How does he feel about taking human lives?  Does he talk to anybody about it?  Does he just internalize it and let it eat him up inside?

This is an excellent question, so I decided to look into it (in MCU, not the comics, sorry). Turns out it’s incredibly difficult to determine Steve’s on-screen body count because 99% of his kills are unconfirmed/ambiguous—which, given that Marvel is now owned by family-friend Disney, is obviously deliberate, and made easy by the fact that Steve’s weapon of choice is his shield (blunt force trauma, no penetration, leaving no obvious marks). A metal Frisbee doesn’t look like much of a weapon, right?

However, as a traumatologist in spe, I know for a fact that a shield thrown hard enough to embed itself in a metal bulkhead would definitely kill anyone it hit, especially if—as here—it’s aimed directly at the person’s head:

There’s a good chance almost everyone Steve hits with the shield full force ends up dead/severely incapacitated and probably disabled for life.

1700 words | Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers

Bucky Barnes, team sergeant. A variation on a theme.

.

Bucky watched Steve head off, ostensibly to organizes his notes and look
through the papers they’d taken away with them before they’d blown up
the house. But it was really to separate himself from the boys for a
bit, until they could bitch at Bucky and between themselves and the
tension wasn’t so thick as to be uncomfortable. And while part of Bucky
kind of resented having to clean up after Steve and his ego one more
time, the rest of him knew that this was his actual real job now, given
to him by the Army and the SSR, and not just the self-appointed task
he’d given himself as a child.

The
boys were pissed, justifiably so, and Bucky didn’t deny them their
anger. He didn’t tell them it wouldn’t happen again, that would be a
lie, but he did promise that he’d do what he could because that wasn’t.
They had the usual expectations of their team sergeant – he was
supposed to fix everything, up to and including the dumbass actions of
their CO – and the foggier expectations that came with knowing that
Sergeant Barnes had been friends with Captain Rogers since they’d been
in short pants. He didn’t tell them that he hadn’t been able to keep
Steve on a leash when he’d been a hundred pounds soaking wet; they
needed their faith in his magical NCO abilities and Steve needed their
faith in his magical NCO abilities and Bucky, who knew too well that he
had no magical abilities, had to pull a sleight of hand for everyone’s
sake.

But sometimes, it was fucking tiring.
