Bucky with his new costume from the comics!

I wasn’t so sure about this look at first, but it’s growing on me, and I *love* the man bun, sorry not sorry.

it's so understated how in 2015 marvel had a shakeup for who was in charge of their stories in both comics and film and after those changes Bucky's character began to effectively be scuttled and written out of his original stories and his character arcs cut short/removed/or completely undone... DESPITE CATWS(2014)'s critical & popular success in not only adapting Bucky but also making him even more important to the main story and elevating his character and setting up a big character arc...

but post-2015 apparently hated this newfound popularity and elevation of the character and independently decided to "punish" him in both movies and comics and knock him off the "A-lister" category and turn him into a non-entity in the story and even general fanbases

MCU Bucky's "knock off the pedestal" was egregious since his character arc only got setup before 2015 happened, but comic Bucky's "punishment" from powers-that-be is egregious in that years of character development and arcs and storylines he had were rendered moot and meaningless as post-2015 marvel regressed his character back into the Winter Soldier in nearly every way (which gets worse as time goes on) and effectively turned him into a fanonized version of himself in the eyes of a super casual fan who knows Bucky as a Nazi assassin (since post-2015 Marvel insists on presenting his exploitation by Hydra that way)

since 2015, both comics and film Marvel took a character that was either set up to be or already was a core part of the cast and was expected or already had a massive character arc that spans years, and then pushed that character out of the main story, decided that his important in Steve's life need to be diminished lest he takes up too much space in the canon, decided that someone enslaved by Nazis can't be a hero or have a compelling story moving on from that trauma, and just shoves him into side character/team role or out-of-character antagonist depending on what role they frivolously decide to write him as for the run/project

I almost wish SebStan would fuck some preposterous A-lister just so that they could be made to eat their words by actually treating his character properly.

(Or, at this point, just with basic respect. It is shocking to see the difference in how even Cevans is treated versus stars like RDJ who had so much creative control and clout in regards to screentime & content.)

And what they're doing to comics is genuinely horrifying because the whole point was to keep those two separate so that an important medium wouldn't be tainted by a shitty adaption. Now the comics are warped and twisted, clipped and pruned, to fit the shitty adaption.

this is a little gift for @harlekin6 birthday!!!

I’m so sorry I’m a bit late, but I was busy with work and then down with the flu, so I missed your special day dear! Some time ago you suggested I tried to draw a bit of a mixed look for Bucky, joining his new comics outfit + his endgame beard and you know I couldn’t resist... Hope you’ll like it! thank you for being such a sweet, supportive, enthusiastic and amazing friend on here! <3 I really appreciate everything you do!!! *hugs*

It is *so* funny when I see Stucky fans whose only Marvel exposure is the MCU refer to Ed Brubaker as "a Captain America writer" like. Guys. Ed Brubaker isn't just "a Captain America writer". He is the reason the Winter Soldier exists. He loved Bucky Barnes as a character so much and was so upset that he was killed off that he became a comics writer and eventually wrote a storyline with Steve Epting where Bucky Barnes was actually alive and the Winter Soldier, eventually reunited with Steve Rogers, and eventually became the new Captain America. Ed Brubaker aged Bucky Barnes up so that he and Steve would only be three years apart, he's one of the main reasons the Stucky fandom is what it is today. Know your history, guys lmfao, he isn't "a Captain America writer", he's the reason for your existence.

ppl who claim to be fans of bucky, emphasis on claim, will praise the character writing of some of the worst comics for bucky's character, which is saying somthing since the bar was set high, and only because bucky hugs steve at the end and they got a near copypaste fanart moment panel after months of character assassination...

it's so absurd! it's like some ppl only think of bucky if he stands next to steve and that is their only criteria for his writing and ignore the most egregious treatment he gets from marvel as long as there is still a steve for him to stand next to..... mindnumbing oml.....

I was saying t'other day how it feels like Marvel Bucky-baits -- deliberately draws Bucky fans in by flashing a glimpse of him, or a tiny suggestion of satisfying content -- when they know they have no intention of doing right by the character. Which then allows them to shit on the character 99% of the time, just because the 1% is, as you said, a gen fanart rip off.

I genuinely can't think of what could've drawn their hatred down upon this pretty innocuous character in the MCU... other than the fact that he can be read as queer?

There are so many other characters with similar backstory (Nat, Captain Marvel, Clint Barton) and none of them need fans to constantly cry 'not a villain!' whenever some MCU dipshit like Feige takes an MCU press conference. And none of them are having their good stories cannibalised to prop up some nonentity who doesn't even have a comics history, either.

I haven't read any of the comics but the impression I've received from other peoples' descriptions *cough*rants*cough* is that I wouldn't want to read anything post-2000.

"—No but like, why?" "Because you have neuroses, Barnes."

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP THEY’RE FINALLY BACK TOGETHER AFTER A DECADE

“I’ve tried to…lose myself. Tried to build a home. Tried for normal. Tried to stay lost. It didn’t take. And it sure as hell didn’t make me happy.”

No shit, he wasn’t happy. Natasha was his home and he lost her.
