Before the Ten Commandments people loooooved stealing from kids. You could just smack candy right out of a kid's hand and laugh at them and everyone would laugh with you because no one knew it was wrong.
But then Moses came down from that mountain and was like "behold! God has said Thou Shalt Not Steal!" And everyone was like "what, even from kids?" And Moses said "Especially from kids, it turns out we were absolutely not supposed to be doing that."
And then everyone was like "awwww but we loved stealing from kids. Hey, we're still allowed to beat our slaves though, right?" And Moses was like "yeah no that's fine as long as they don't die, God said slavery is fine."
And I'm sorry but that's why atheists and those weird pagans from non-Abrahamic religions will just never be as moral as us good Judeo-Christian folk.
would love to hear your thoughts on the other TB members too, even just a quick summary if you'd prefer
Hi anon! Sorry for the wait, I am sadly an adult with a job đ
Anyway! To answer your question, first I must say that excluding Yelena and John, these are all new characters in the mcu so I am limited in how I feel about them but will do my best!
Taskmaster: Getting this out of the way since she was in the movie for 0.02 seconds. I have no opinion other than wishing she was in the movie for more than 0.02 seconds. This character mimics the fighting style of other people which I think would've been very cool to watch in later movies and given that it is likely the mcu will re-boot after Doomsday, I don't think we'll see a rebirth of Taskmaster (at least with the same actress) in the coming years. But I could be wrong given the premise of multiverses.
Ava: Another character we didn't get to learn much about. I always see people saying TB is a Marvel movie that focus on characters and not just action sequences more than others (which is true) but Marvel has an ongoing issue of having large casts that they don't have enough time to develop. I like that she's snarky, would love to know more about her backstory, and really enjoyed her exchanges with other characters. If I were to rate like I did in my Bucky deep-dive, she would be a solid 8 since she hasn't done anything to make me dislike her but I also just don't know much.
Alexie: a little stupid sometimes lol. I actually think TB did a great job with comedic relief and I feel that's what this character represents. Sometimes I thought it was a bit much, but overall, wasn't just a 'guy humor every 3 minutes' type of movie. He did get some depth by the film addressing his struggles of wanting to be a good father and caring, but also not doing a very good job at it. If you haven't noticed already, I REALLY care about having fleshed out characterization. Since we will likely only see TB in Doomsday again before the reboot, I have a suspicion they will make him do a self-sacrificing move for Yelena in the final film to wrap up his character. I'm fine with this because I'm not too attached. (7 rating)
John: I don't like John because I HATE the asshole character trope. I like that his part in FATWS gave him a complex issue (he killed someone but did it in revenge for his best friend) but the side comments he makes and the general gloaty vibe he gives... I just hate this characterization. I always think, "no one acts like this in real life and still has friends." I don't mind when characters have asshole moments, for instance, Tony Stark was by far my favorite avenger before his death and no other hero in the mcu has been given his amount of growth - but sometimes he was an ass. It worked for humor and fit his character in general because he was a billionaire/nepo baby/genius, but he always showed he was more complex and you could always tell he wasn't nearly as selfish as his words would make you believe. Anywhoodle, don't like John but could in the future if he chills out and shows a softer side (NOT him making a sad face thinking about his ex-wife, that is not enough!). Wyatt Russell is very funny though. (3.5 rating)
Yelena: Current favorite character in the mcu. I will forever say that wanting a front-facing job to be less lonely is stupid. That being said, I think Yelena has a lot of depth. She's funny sometimes, sarcastic sometimes, sad sometimes, happy sometimes, a full range of emotions and complexities! And arguably the only female character marvel has gotten right (I've heard good things about Ironheart/Riri being well-written and complex but haven't gotten around to watching the series). Despite doing some bad things in her life, you can see a gentle side to her in how she deals with Bob in TB and how she feels pain for her sister. She's not a very powerful character so I have no idea how she's going to go against Dr. Doom but I can't wait to see her try. Overall, a person with complexities, muddled goals, emotions, and skill, love to see characters like this. Also Flo Pugh was a phenomenal casting for this role. (9 rating, loses one for the front-facing job issue but I'm sure she'll gain it back)
Bob: I really like Bob. I think he kind of reminds me of myself in a very convoluted way. I actually think Bob is a great example for the main reasons I'm not currently fond of Bucky. He clearly has a lot of issues, mentally, with addiction, and also being experimented on (which happens an alarming amount in the mcu) but he remains a character that wants to keep the vibe light, so to speak. He's humorous and attempts to be helpful in a way that makes him very hard to dislike. Very much feels like he's always "just happy to be here." I relate in that I have also had issues in life but genuinely work hard to not transfer those problems to others, to try to do the next right thing. Also, him, Captain Marvel, Thor, and Dr. Strange are basically all we have that stand a chance against Dr. Doom and I have no idea how they'll develop his powers enough for him to be able to fight (given that when we left off he just didn't use them out of fear of becoming the void). Excited to see how they treat his character in Doomsday. (9 rating)
Hii! I just saw your post about Bucky and thought it was a really interesting read. Iâve been following the MCU for a while now, and honestly, Bucky was never a character I cared much about. But after Thunderbolts, I went back and rewatched all the movies with the team, which meant rewatching Bucky too... and now I actually like him a bit more. Still donât love him, but I think heâs definitely more complex and interesting than I gave him credit for.
Your take gave me a new perspective on the Thunderbolts and especially that ending with them being called the ânew Avengersâ (which I personally find kinda ridiculous). Just wanted to add two quick thoughts:
Sometimes I feel like Bucky shouldâve just stayed in Wakanda. He clearly needs therapy, but as he says at the start of TFATWS, those two years there were the closest thing he had to peace.
I also think the Thunderbolts work better as an anti-hero team, more like the Guardians, instead of trying to make them into Avengers 2.0. But it feels like, once again, Valentina was written in a really weak way, and they had to force that âpositiveâ ending for her just to set up a possible return later on.
I should mention, I went off of memory and things people have reminded me off as I intake TB opinions from both sides (I did re-watch Civil War for the post, but nothing else).
I also didn't care much about Bucky's character until TFATWS. It was the first time I genuinely thought "I don't like this dude" which then made me see everything else he did in a different light. Then I started to like him again, it's complicated. I really liked the WS movie (one of the best in the cinematic universe imo) but had no idea where they'd take his character from there and at the time there was SO MUCH marvel content coming out lol.
As for your thoughts!
I understand why they didn't leave him in Wakanda â he is a very interesting character in the comics, though not a very popular one until he hit the big screen. And I think they could've written a fantastic "redemption arc" for him as he struggles to make peace with his past and decide who he wants to be in the future. However, I agree with you that the way he was written, it feels like we just want him to sit down and heal for a while. Because Bucky does NOT catch a break.
I could support the thunderbolts remaining a team (though I think it is OOC for Bucky to just be like "fine, she doesn't have to go to jail"), but it bothers me that the writers would create this flimsy excuse for Bucky and Sam to be fighting, over a NAME. They could've just kept using thunderbolts. Furthermore, I don't think Bucky really needs a team. It's fine if he has one, but for him to just accidentally end up in a team with a bunch of strangers... it needs to be EXPLAINED. The avengers weren't even exactly a team â they came together for bigger issues but had their own plots and enemies outside of one another. Would LOVE to have a standalone Winter Soldier film and he partners with the thunderbolts for bigger things. Especially because he's one of the more notable heros at this time.

u got a point with what u wrote about bucky in thunderbolts (he felt very ooc in that movie) but the part about civil war and tony is bullshit. tony was trying to kill him, its shown in the movie (if u actually pay attention) and the writers said he was trying to hurt steve by killing bucky. so bucky had all the rights to defend himself and not let someone else take his life. u may hate bucky or just dislike him but to prove your point u dont have to change what's canon, use things and arguments that are actually in the movies.
Woah there, buddy. Calm down.
I didn't know what the writers said about Tony's intentions in Civil War. I was going based off the fact that he showed up despite their differences to help Steve - so from my perspective, actually killing Bucky would be going too far since his actions, up until, had shown that him and Steve did have a friendship (despite it being tumultuous). This WAS in the movie, I can't possibly know everything the writers have ever said. But thank you for bringing it to my attention as it does change my perspective.
Since it's canon that the writers did expect him to want to kill Bucky, I don't blame Steve for wanting to save his friend's life, given that Bucky literally had no control over his mind at the time.
All that being said, what I remain to be upset about is the writing of Bucky's character. Bucky in the comics is sarcastic, more powerful, more complex, and not nearly so "everyone around me needs to save me from myself" plot that we get from the movies. The pivot to move from Cap 3 being about Bucky and Steve to making up the premise of Civil War to compete with Batman vs. Superman was the wrong choice. I view it as us (the audience) not having any time to see Bucky develop after being the Winter Soldier before everyone is on the run because he's once again being mind controlled (and of course the disagreement on the accords which I also feel is half-baked). Then we finally see development in TFATWS and BNW all for him to seemingly shift his entire personality in TB (not to mention it waters down Steve and Sam's development as well). I think in my breakdown it is clear that I have always wanted to like Bucky's character and even when I didn't like him in TFATWS, I IMMEDIATELY started liking him again. So let's not make it seem like I just have it out for the man. He was majorly ignored as an independent character in the films (As well as many other characters who also have actions I don't like, I'm just doing a breakdown on Bucky because I don't see why so many people are taking his side in the TB drama).
Given the recent thunderbolts drama⌠Here is my DETAILED beef with Bucky Barnes, for those who care.
To be clear, Iâm not a Bucky hater, Iâm a Bucky distaste-er. And my distaste revolves around the fact that James Buchanan Barnes has many problems (understandably so) and he runs away from them and makes them other peopleâs problems.
So strap in, weâre going all the way back!
First Avenger/Winter Solider
Nothing of importance to say here. Bucky was very likable in the first Captain America and was under mind control in Winter Soldier so no issues to discuss. For the most part I quite liked him. On a scale of one to ten â he was a solid 7.5.Â
Civil War
So this is when our first problems arise.Â
Knows Steve is looking for him, keeps running, keeps fighting
Now hereâs the thing. Yaâll will say he didnât remember him. But if you RECALL, he told Steve all about himself when they were younger later on in the film. How would he remember Steve AFTER having his brain re-scrambled??? How would he get MORE memories???? MIND YOU, he tells Steve heâs not going to kill anyone and literally throws a cinderblock at a regular not-super-soilder human. BUCKY TURN YOURSELF IN. Now youâve also got Steve and Sam fighting and as Iâll share in my next point, becoming enemies of the damn state (lowkey the whole world).
2. Bucky is re-mind controlled with the trigger words, goes on the run, Steve and Sam go down with him.Â
Remember I said he makes his problems other peopleâs problems. In my opinion, Bucky should have just turned himself in. Explain what happened with Hydra and the trigger words being used again while Steve and Sam find proof that youâre innocent (basically the plot of Brave New World). Furthermore, his explanation would (hopefully) get Tâchalla to also go after Zemo - we saw from the end of the movie that he didnât blame Bucky for being controlled and even helped get rid of the trigger words.
3. 2 v 1 with Tony
Personally I blame Steve for this more but I also blame Bucky, I will explain. Steve knew (even if he wasnât 100% sure) and he should have told Tony. Imagine if Tony knew months ago when he wasnât directly in front of Bucky after Bucky has everyone on the run. Probably would have had some time to make peace with it!!! I ALSO WANT TO REMIND PEOPLE, that Tonyâs whole purpose for being there was to help Steve despite them having their disagreement over the accords. Nevertheless, Steve didnât say anything, Tony has an emotional reaction, they fight. Now I STRONGLY believe neither Bucky nor Tony would actually kill one another. Plus, weâre not talking about a regular dude, weâre talking about a super solider with a vibranium arm. I wouldâve taken the L if I was Bucky because what can I say??? I did kill your parents?!?! Like it wasnât me but it was.Â
4. To wrap this up in a cute little bow.Â
Yes Bucky was mind controlled and nothing was actually his fault. But if someone with a mental illness beats the hell out of you, for instance, itâs not their fault but they still need to apologize and take steps to address their illness. Bucky addressed nothing, he ran.
Absolutely heinous choices in this movie. If he werenât such a tragic character I would give him a lower rating â 3.7
Infinity War/Endgame
Thereâs not much to say here as heâs barely in these movies. I like that heâs chill and healing in Wakanda, I do actually just want him to get some therapy - the man is obviously traumatized. Heâs very grateful to the Wakandans and shows up to fight with Steve. Then Steve gave Sam the shield blah blah blah
Thatâs all I got, he mostly just stopped being someone I felt anything about â 5
TFATWS
I HATED this man in this show (for at least half of it). Hereâs why:
It was mentioned that Sam had been calling and texting Bucky but Bucky straight up did not answer. Then the shield is given to Walker and suddenly he has all the time in the world to harass Sam about that damn shield.Â
My problem is, he couldâve told Sam how he felt and heard Sam out months ago. MIND YOU, by the end of the movie he tells Sam he understands him. MAYBE if you had spoken to him then, you also would have understood BEFORE all this other stuff occurred. And the little comments like âwe couldâve used that shieldâ I swear to god Iâd punch him.
2. His reasoning for wanting Sam to be Cap so bad.
Bucky gave two reasons why the shield was important to him. The first being that if Steve was wrong about Sam then he was wrong about him. Steve is not GOD, Bucky. He doesnât decide who you are or will be anymore than he does Sam. If he was the âall knowingâ person you seem to think he is, he would have foreseen Samâs issues with the shield and discussed it then. IT DRIVES ME CRAZY that yaâll take Buckyâs side in this scenario. It completely overlooks how Sam would feel and says âwell poor broken Bucky needs this for his self-worth so Sam should just do it.â Yaâll piss me off. His second reason was that the shield is the closest thing he has to a family. What???? Youâre literally in this manâs family home with his sister and nephews. Also that is just so incredibly unhealthy, your âfamilyâ is an inanimate object, Bucky please.
3. He wasnât ALL bad.
As I said, I hated him for at least half. By the end, I actually think he was learning how to be a good friend and deal with his issues without making them Samâs issues. However, if I were Sam I would proceed with caution because Bucky is still a traumatized man who hasnât fully worked through his issues and that tends to make him a bad friend.
The ending did not make up for him during this show, Iâm sorry (but I am also not) â 2
Brave New World
Bucky had a small cameo but it was actually one of my favorite scenes and showed so much character development.Â
SO he goes to visit Sam after JoaquĂn gets hurt and is in the hospital. I love this scene because itâs the first time he shows up for a friend after being the winter soldier and without needing to fight. He just wanted to give Sam a pep talk. I do have a problem (with the writing not the characters) with how much importance they give to Steve handing over the shield. In the comics both Bucky and Sam eventually have the shield and they become their own versions of Cap with their own plot lines and development. But nevertheless, I get it for the movie, itâs not an issue. To summarize this scene for my next point, he tells Sam that people can aspire to him and heâll find a way to work it out. Sam tells him he was asked to start the avengers. They hug, they make littles jokes about congress. Blah blah blah, it was a cute little scene and Bucky looked like he was well fed, working through his demons, and finding a support system in a person and not an object.
Great stuff, we like him again â 6.5
Thunderbolts
Okay, so hereâs what everyone is arguing about. But I think if you are NOT on Samâs side, you are just being ridiculous.
He didnât choose to be in the new avengers but he stayed.
I keep seeing people say that it wasnât Buckyâs choice so itâs not his fault. The after credit scene is months later and he is still clearly with the new avengers.Â
2. Valentina never actually had justice.Â
So Valentina was doing experiments on people to make them super (something Bucky should feel VERY strongly about) but I think we forget that other people actually died. Those families never got answers. Furthermore, the public never got to know that a high ranking official was committing these crimes (which I very much think they have the right to know).
3. You donât need to be an avenger to fight crime.
Let me just say, the idea that having a âfront-facingâ job would stop Yelena or anyone else from feeling empty is a flimsy explanation at best (keep in mind, Yelena is currently my favorite character). Maybe they just wanted to do good, which is great, but for the vast majority of super heroes (outside of the MCU, but in Marvel comics and DC comics/movies) the hero hides their identity⌠so??? I donât get it. But either way. What should have happened is the thunderbolts cut a deal to give information on Valentina to put her away and stay out of jail. Maybe they have community service or therapy but ONCE AGAIN, stop running from your issues. Then they fight crime all they want, as a team or as individuals or maybe they join Samâs avengers, or maybe they do none of the above and go to college or something. I donât know, but I canât think of any good reason the New Avengers exist.Â
4. Bucky doesnât understand Sam at all
At the end of FATWS he said he did, and I even believed he did. But how do you think it looks that Steve led the avengers but Sam's supposed âfriendâ turned around and led it with Yelena, despite knowing how that may be perceived (I think theyâre the leaders, Iâm not actually sure)? How does it look after Bucky told Sam that he gave people something to aspire to and he believed in him??? How does it look when, as far as we know, the ONLY person Sam confided in about putting the team together was Bucky????? THEN what really grinds my gears is that Sam was literally a fugitive for you and at this point his only experience with you had been you trying to kill him and destroying his car. Yet Sam still comforted him at the funeral, still checked up on his at the beginning of FATWS, still fought beside him in Infinity War - I CANNOT TAKE ya'll erasure of Sam (And he ISN"T EVEN MY FAVORITE CHARACTER)
I honestly cannot keep making excuses for this manâs bad decisions â 1.5
The ONLY reason Iâm not giving him a straight up 1 is because I have a soft spot for him being tortured for 70 years and I can see why he makes questionable decisions.
That being said, I think yaâll just think Sebastian Stan is hot (I do too) and like sad characters, especially sad characters you find attractive. But take Sebastian out of the equation and just think âwould I want to be friends with Bucky Barnes?â The answer should be no.
Hereâs what I would like for Bucky!
Him being in congress is weird but I think it could work as like making a living amends without fighting. I want him to become a foodie and try a different restaurant in DC every weekend, either with friends or by himself (because I know in my heart that his food from the 40âs was NOT bussinâ). I want him and Sam and the girl from TFATWS (I think she was a bartender, I cannot remember her name), but anyway, I want them to be besties. I want them to have group FaceTimes and visit each other in DC/NY/Delacroix. I want him to continue therapy because unpacking 70 years of torture will not be fast. And I donât want to see him date for AT LEAST 5 years. The man needs a support system that is unlikely to up and leave and he also needs to learn to address his own problems. Lastly, I only want him to fight for Thanos/Dr. Doom level threats. Otherwise, just call and give occasional pep talks and stay away. If I was made into a human machine for mass destruction, I would become a pacifist, but thatâs just me.
Anyway thank you all for coming to my ted talk!!! If you disagree you are WRONG xoxo

The badness of Hamas has no bearing on the question of whether it's morally acceptable to exterminate the Palestinians (it's not)
The atrocities of October 7 have no bearing on whether it's morally acceptable to exterminate the Palestinians (it's not)
The relative legal status of homosexuality in Israel versus the Gaza Strip has no bearing on whether it's morally acceptable to exterminate the Palestinians (it's not)
The competing of claims of indigeneity to the Holy Land among Israelis and Palestinians have no bearing on whether it's morally acceptable to exterminate the Palestinians (it's not)
The Nazi Holocaust, monstrous as it was, has no bearing on whether it's morally acceptable to exterminate the Palestinians (it's not)
There is nothing, no argument that can be advanced under heaven, that can make it morally acceptable to exterminate the Palestinians.
NOTHING justifies genocide. NOTHING, ever, justifies ANY genocide.
