*New Bucky theory on Thunderbols*
Ok, now that a few days have passed and I'm thinking things through more calmly, and also because of Seb's comment “he's a little bit of Bucky and a little bit of the Winter Soldier”. I think I came up with a theory that doesn't include mind control, but could explain what's going on with our boy, keeping him in the character Marvel has shown us for 13 years...
I think first of all, Bucky is being forced by the government to work for them, and that's why he's a congressman, which otherwise wouldn't make sense. And let's remember that this is Ross' new government, the same asshole who wanted to have the Avengers under his control, the same one who said Bruce's body is government property, the same one who resents enhanced people, and the same one who didn't care about Bucky's innocence in CW, scoffing at the idea that he might have a legal defense.
His new government no doubt could have modified the conditions of Bucky's pardon, consisting now of having to do compulsory service for them and him being obligated to do only what they allow him to do. Doesn't that sound familiar to the Sokovia Accords Ross insisted on so much? This would explain the court scene in the trailer. Because no, that wasn't a congressional meeting scene as many thought, Bucky is in a courtroom, almost identical to the courtroom scene in Iron Man 2.
I think in addition to the modifications to Bucky's conditional pardon, there could be another type of blackmail, such as the government threatening him to pursue charges against those who helped him and Steve escape in CW and who Cap broke out of The Raft, ergo the remaining living members of team Cap: Sam, Clint and Scott.
Being how cynical the government is, and more so Ross's, I totally see this coming. I also absolutely see the emotional blackmail coming, something along the lines of “you worked for the bad guys, if you really want to repair the damage you caused to society, now get the bad guys”. They know full well Bucky still feels guilty about what he was forced to do as the Winter Soldier, though of course he's an innocent victim in all of that, and they're using that to manipulate him.
And there is no doubt Yelena, John, Ghost and Taskmaster are bad guys in the eyes of the law, 'cause well, literally they are criminals, who have done nothing but take dirty works as job for a living. And the government could have drilled it into Bucky's head that they are a threat to society and their freedom puts the lives of innocents at risk, which isn't too far from the truth to be honest.
I'm sure Bucky would prefer to take more of an arrest approach, and not a final elimination as such. Just like in TFATWS, when he plotted the arrest of Senator Atwood and the Flag Smashers. But if it is now the government/congress itself who ordered Bucky to capture/eliminate the TBs, and I suspect also the paramilitary group that was pursuing them, he could not resort to police intervention, because the mission itself is not one of arrest, and because the police work for the same government.
So, if Bucky is being coerced by the government, and he has no ally to turn to, he would literally have no choice but to do what the government demands of him. All coupled with the emotional manipulation the government would use by taking advantage of the unfair guilt Bucky always has to carry.
I also feel like that Winter Soldier mode is something the government also forced Bucky to adopt. They would want to use him and show him off as their own living weapon just like HYDRA, something like “the Winter Soldier who was the fist of HYDRA is now the fist of America”. Of course this is something our poor Bucky hates with all his heart, but he literally would have no choice... This explains how unhappy and depressed he looks, and why he let his hair and beard grow back as a sign of lack of self-care...
It is more than clear that absolutely with all this, Marvel is undoing their own “happy ending” that they gave Bucky in TFATWS, where they at least left the door open for him to be more than the Winter Soldier.
Of course they're not going to let him shed that name, because they're simply not going to let him develop and be recognized as a hero, even though Bucky has always been a hero in every sense of the word and in his own right...
The after credits scene in Thunderbolts will be Bucky and Sam reuniting and then making out i swear guys believe me
*pulls up to the fanfic drive-thru window* uh yeah, i’ll take a fake relationship with a side of mutual pining and thinking the other isn’t interested, thanks
some songs are like old friends
AU where the Winter Soldier has all of Bucky's memories, but has no emotional connection to them, so he manipulates the shit out of Steve.
After NWH peter parker writing his name, age, blood type, and address on his arm so that if he dies on patrol they can know something about him because he knows he’s not in any systems or ways of looking stuff up. If he dies they’ll take his suit off him and know.
He gets kidnapped. He gets taken. They find the information, and the spell breaks for the kidnapper only. The kidnapper realizes what happened. The kidnapper is now HORRIFIED and INSISTENT that they watch over Peter and help him get his old life back.
reblog if you're a writer but would rather drink straight cyanide than show any of your family members your work
If Bucky "became" Winter Soldier again, I would rejoice because it would be him doing it on his own terms. To reclaim the Winter Soldier name, to embrace that side of him, while acting of his own volition and morals, making his own conscious decisions, being in full control of himself, choosing to use his abilities to help others, being the hero he is... that's not undoing anything. He's not murderous. He's not inherently violent either, but he doesnt shy away from it. People like to conveniently forget about when he intentionally cracked a guy's face with his left arm or vaulted a pipe into someone's shoulder (and yes, him holding back against the Flagsmashers was ridiculous). Bucky Winter Soldier is not Hydra Winter Soldier
I'll be unapologetic to cheering on Bucky showing up and wrecking everything. Even better if he's got on the Winter Soldier gear
Bonus:
just saw infinity war, tbh this is a canon conversation
Made a Bucky related prompt list for october this year
