Crash Course on Steve and Bucky

This is going to be way too much information, fair warning.

Movies: 

“The First Avenger”  Steve starts out tiny, sickly, angry, and naively sweet. He wants to go and fight in the war because he believes in what is right and morally good, and wants to lay down his life because:

 Because his health is shit, the army tells him no fuckin’ way. Steve loves to get in fights, and often gets his ass handed to him because he sucks but won’t back down.  Bucky volunteers for the army, and because he is extremely smart he gets promoted so Sargent, and is trained as a sniper. Gratuitous photo of Buck in his army Greens: 

On the night Buck ships out, Steve gets a chance to be involved in a pool of people to be picked for the opportunity to become a Super Soldier. No one believes in him, but because he’s a good man with balls of steel they pick him anyway. The Serum makes Steve big, eg: 

Because the project ultimately fails to be reproducible they relegate Steve to being a show-pony to sell war bonds. Steve also meets Peggy Carter, who it awesome and kicks ass and he totally wants her to walk all over him tbh. 

Steve becomes Captain America and saves Bucky from a HYDRA base in Italy, where he’s been tortured and given a discount version of Steve’s Serum. HYDRA are literally NAZI’s and a bunch of assholes.  Bucky falls from a train during one of their missions and dies, Steve is, obviously crushed. Decides to kill all of HYDRA himself if he has to.  Steve ends up crashing a plane in the arctic, which foils HYDRA’s plan, but freezes Steve for 70 years, until they pull him out of the ice. 

Cap 2 “The Winter Soldier”:

After The Avengers, which Steve is badly characterized in, is my favorite fuckin movie ever. Seriously, my favorite. Steve is adjusting to the 21st century, has made friends with Black Widow (Natasha) Also, bad-ass, could also walk all over Steve (but is probably ace) Super spy. 

He also makes friends with Sam Wilson, the Falcon, super under-rated and a huge sweetypie. Deserves more, and is tired of Steve’s sass 25/7 

Steve kicks some serious ass in this movie, and is generally Down to Die TM at all moments, because he’s a shit. Turns out HYDRA has infiltrated the organization that Steve is working for, and are trying to take over the world again (fuckin’ NAZI’s I swear.)  Also, it’s worth mentioning that Peggy is still alive, but has Dementia, and only occasionally remembers who Steve it. It’s sad af.  Also, guess who tf else isn’t dead. That’s right, Bucky, 

Turns out HYDRA had kept him for those 70 years, torturing him, and turning him into an assassin (The Winter Soldier), all the while wiping his memories of who he was and keeping him cryo-frozen when they didn’t need him. He snapped of his arm when he fell from the train, so now he has a hella sick metal one. 

Seeing Steve starts to break down Bucky’s programming, and he goes rogue after much internal angst, manages to keep from killing Steve through the power of love, obviously. Steve manages to take down HYDRA once more, but Bucky disappears because he feels so much guilt over what he’s done, as well as trying to remember who he is. 

“Civil War”:

Honestly, for this being a movie with “Captain America” in the title, there isn’t much Steve. Super bare-bones of it:  Steve doesn’t trust the government, because, why would he? He opposes the restriction of the Avengers, and everyone gets all up in arms about it. He manages to track Bucky down, who mostly remembers what tf is going on.  Also, Bucky meets Sam, who is not a fan of the man who tried to kill him on several occasions, eg. :

Steve gives up the mantle of Captain America in order to save Bucky from persecution, and they definitely don’t discuss the fact that they are totally in love or hug it out, which is a huge shame. 

Really that’s it for Steve and Bucky in CW. It’s a shame. 

Alright, if you’re not bored yet here’s more: 

Steve: 

Only child, lost his mom to Pneumonia when he was an adult, approx: 17-19, his father died in the first World War. Artist, and a damn good one, would probably have his art in museums if he wasn’t busy being Cap. Sassy as hell, will always avoid any discussion of relationships. Don’t ever sigh or be sad around him or he will come and Mom Friend you so hard it actually hurts. Loves motorcycles, loves throwing motorcycles even more. Listens to swing music always. Believes in justice and equality, and always seeing the good in people. Doesn’t think he’s worth all the trust people put in him, but won’t let them down either. Born on the 4th of July, because he couldn’t be any more patriotic. Bad kisser, but motivated. Swears like a sailor, same as Bucky. 

Buck: 

Oldest and only boy of 4 kids, very smart, kind and charismatic, total ladies man before the war. After HYDRA he blames himself for what he’s done, thinks it’s his fault he killed all those people, generally thinks Steve is wasting his time with him. Has an intense love of pancakes. Won the trust and admiration of his unit in the war, and you damn well know will mom-friend just as hard as Steve, though in a “you broke your nose, let me set it and then we can go dancing like you promised” way. Very compassionate, and wants to help and improve himself. Very polite. Neat Freak. Loves Space and sci-fi novels.
