Two Captains, One Sergeant

He just woke up after being the Winter Soldier, a version of him that he HATES, and trying to kill everyone in sight… and THE first thing he does is say “your mom” and bully Steve for being small

Bucky, watching intently: seeing how many of these was me.

Sam: …how many did you find so far?

Bucky: around 8, I’m still not sure about the one.

James Buchanan Barnes was a childhood friend of Steve Rogers. He was assumed dead after falling off a train, but survived thanks to Arnim Zola’s experiments. HYDRA brainwashed him, making him a ruthless killer responsible for many deaths. He was missing an arm, so HYDRA replaced it with a cybernetic one. HYDRA then froze him in suspended animation. Bucky was MIA for long periods of time ‘til HYDRA saw fit to unfreeze him. Over the next fifty years, Barnes was activated to assassinate Nick Fury as the Winter Soldier.

Steve's love language is... words of affirmation roasting.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER (2011) CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER (2014)

It's the episode right after CATWS, and the story is supposed to directly tie in with the events of CATWS. It's hilarious (= enraging) how people just seem to conveniently overlook that little detail while talking about (or rather, shitting on) Steve's decisions and actions.

When you see him argue against the accords, you're supposed to actually remember that the government was infiltrated in the previous Cap movie and it was only two years ago. And that Steve was right in the middle of the fray.

When you see him trying to save the other supersoldiers, you're supposed to correlate that to him discovering the Winter Soldier and as shown in the last scene of CATWS, finding out everything Hydra did to Bucky.

When Steve says "He's my friend," you're supposed to remember Bucky falling from the train in CATFA, and 2014!Steve saying "even when I had nothing, I had Bucky." And you're supposed to empathise with the scrawny kid from Brooklyn who had no one but James Bucky Barnes in his corner. You're supposed to remember that Bucky would, and did follow this scrawny kid into the jaw of death.

Every single thing he does/says has a background in the previous two movies.

Now you might say "yeah but so does Tony-" yeah and tell me something, is it called "Iron Man: Civil War"? Or "Avengers: Civil War"?
