DAMN THOUGH can we have a moment of appreciation for how different Bucky\u2019s fighting style is compared to WS??<\/p>\n

Credit for this absolutely goes to Sebastian Stan\u2019s character work. In Civil War when Bucky is in a fight\/in danger he\u2019s literally so expressive, compared to the Dead Eyed Murder Glare\u2122 we\u2019re accustomed to from the Winter Soldier. <\/p>\n

Like REALLY:<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

And it\u2019s such a neat thing because Civil War Bucky is still super competent, he\u2019s got the WS\u2019s skills, but he\u2019s also FREAKING THE HELL OUT HE DIDN\u2019T ASK FOR ANY OF THIS<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

HE JUST WANTED TO BUY SOME PLUMS FFS<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

these wide-eyed OH FUCK facial expressions are like half the reason why the GET REKT jokes are so freaking funny, because it\u2019s so different from how the Winter Soldier would\u2019ve acted [[*analyzes a meme*]]<\/p>\n

(gifs from here<\/a> and here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

But this is IMPORTANT<\/b> because one of the things I was so relieved about from this movie was that it emphasized the separation between the Winter Soldier persona and Bucky\u2019s ACTUAL PERSONALITY when he\u2019s not being mind-controlled and forced to kill people.<\/p>\n

Yeah, I have my gripes\/nitpicks about the movie, lots of us do \u2013 but on this particular point I\u2019m SO pleased with the respect that was shown for Bucky\u2019s character. Most of the fans take it for granted that ~Bucky Barnes Is Not A Villian 2k14~, but he could have been written off that way!!! Even just by making less of a distinction between the Bucky that was controlled by Hydra and one who has his own internal life & personality.<\/p>\n

I think we should appreciate the fact that the characterization we got could not have happened without collaboration from the creatives in charge: clear direction from the Russos, the writers using a strong narrative device like Bucky being programmed by trigger words, and of course Sebastian Stan acting his face off and totally changing his body language depending on which version he was portraying.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Sebastian Stan proved his acting mettle when he stole CA: Winter Soldier with only a handful of spoken lines and only his eyes visible for like half the damn movie. In CA: CW, though, he takes it to a whole new level. The whole time, he\u2019s viscerally aware of what Bucky\u2019s state of mind would be. He showed us, with his face and eyes and body, whether he was Bucky or the Winter Soldier.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

very good observation here about how important Sebastian Stan\u2019s facial acting was in CACW. ESPECIALLY for movie audiences who aren\u2019t as in tune with the fandom – who were the people still calling the winter soldier a \u201cvillain\u201d. By having him react, being freaked the fuck out, and overall being the opposite of a MurderBot, you get a much more sympathetic character – and making the tragedy that much more astute when you see how he was stripped of his will with a series of words and powerless to fight them.<\/p>\n

Which also makes it THAT MUCH MORE impressive and really shows just how strong Bucky and Steve feel for each other when Steve was able to snap him out of it in CATWS with \u201cI\u2019 with you till the end of the line\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
