The minute he was in trouble, Steve came running to help him.īucky does not want his help. He goes to grab them and get out…Īnd finds his old friend has done exactly what he knew he would do. And Bucky left his supplies at his apartment. Going on the run, it is a good idea to have some supplies with you. Or, worse, before a HYDRA operative or someone else uses the programming they burned into his brain to make him do their dirty work.īut he cannot run with just the clothes on his back. With a horrible sinking feeling, Bucky goes to the newsstand –Īnd finds he is the prime suspect in a U.N. It is a newsstand owner, who disappears after Bucky turns toward him. Looking around carefully, he spots the person. Then, as he leaves the market, he realizes someone is watching him. It is not what he wants, necessarily, but it is better than being HYDRA’s attack dog. Instead it is a small sign of some comfort and happiness, showing that Bucky has adjusted to his new mode of living. In this scene, his smile is not nearly as big. He was not much of a smiler in Winter Soldier, of course, and his grins in The First Avenger carried more swagger and bravado. It was rather surprising and sweet to see Bucky shopping for fresh fruit in a Bucharest market. If he came out of the shadows, it would not be long before Steve lost his friends, his position with the Avengers, and everything else he had gained and earned after awakening from his nap in the Greenland ice trying to protect Bucky. He had new friends now, a good job, everything he needed. Perhaps Bucky thought – or hoped – his old friend would not miss him. To stay away from them, though, meant staying away from his best friend – the one person on the planet who believed in him. With HYDRA’s programming still locked up in his brain, going off the radar meant the bad guys could not find and “retrain” him. He was a man who had become an urban hermit. So I did not pay his best friend the attention he deserved – shame on me!īut Bucky was neither the invisible man nor a pitiable human robot in Civil War. To be honest, my whole attention in The First Avenger was on the American Galahad because…. And, as Bucky said in The First Avenger, he became a bit invisible to a certain section of the population after Steve received the Super Soldier Serum. That is not hard, since Bucky got the programmed automaton treatment in Soldier, as Clint had it in The Avengers – just with more ice. In a prior post, I said that I found Bucky Barnes more relatable during Civil War than I did in Winter Soldier.
Well, masterleiaofasgard, here I go again! Let’s see if I understand Bucky any better now than I did previously.
