I just realised...
Yk how Steve's serum amplified everything about him? All the good, and righteousness, any humanity and kindness were all increased.
Well, the same would of happened for Bucky, and goddamn, we know how beautifully human he is. He left his family to take care of Steve (an outcast and someone who would of struggled to keep up with a fit able bodied young man who had no issue with picking any woman he wanted), he worked shift after shift just to keep the two of them afloat; that is more than kindness and care. His serum would of made that all so much stronger, but you know what that got him? It was torn from him.
"Wipe him"
Over and over again. Any time any kindness (because recognising his love for Steve on that bridge was kindness), was shown, any time any humanity was shown, or any righteous was displayed, it was ripped from him.
They amplified his humanity only to cover it and let his anger and hate pour out, until even that was gone. A mindless killer left in the wake of James "Bucky" Barnes.
