Bucky Barnes As The Winter Soldier In The Falcon And The Winter Soldier | (1x01) New World Order

This episode of What If... was living in my head rent-free. The ending destroyed me. How can everyone live their lives oblivious to the Winter Soldier's suffering? I love this nuance of the soldier being his own entity. For me, what we see in that episode is not Bucky Barnes, it's a non-robotic and humanized version of the Winter Soldier, which is very beautiful and dark. The fact that he has no idea that he is someone and Aleksei helping him with that is worth its weight in gold. It's a shame he couldn't free himself to be the hero of Deconey Island in the end, and this is the post.

Episode mentioned: What if the Red Guardian stopped the Winter Soldier?

John: "it's Bucky!"

Alexei: *cackles*

Thunderbolts* comes out today in Italy, but I'll go see it, probably, on Saturday, but in the meantime, KEEP THIS (Not actually explicit but Instagram and Tumblr are shy and they don't like too exposed skin of imaginary characters) Uncensored on Twitter, Bluesky and Ao3

Alexei: So. Mr Winter, what is the plan? Bucky: The Plan? Bucky: .... the plan. Bucky: *screams and drives into a building*
