Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier

And while all of this is happening, Vision discovers that Tommy has been captured by Paladin and taken to Madripoor.

Now, we previously visited Madripoor and the Falcon and the Winter Soldier when Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, and Zemo were investigating the super soldier serum.

Go back to our early Marvel Maniac episodes.

It's the second series we cover.

I'm not asking them to rename the show to The Falcon, The Falcon, and The Winter Soldier, but I wouldn't mind seeing Joaquin join the cast.

In the comics, he works as Sam's sidekick, but it seems like Bucky Barnes will already be fulfilling that role on the show, so it's possible that Joaquin would need to find his own backup.

And in the comics, we've seen him join up with Ironheart and the Champions.

It's possible that if he's introduced in the Falcon and the Winter Soldier, he could end up being one of the Young Avengers, since he'll be pretty new to the whole superhero thing.

There's a comic book precedent for Sam Wilson becoming Captain America, but he's not the only hero who's worn the red, white, and blue over the years.

There was a time when his trusty sidekick Bucky Barnes took over the role when Steve Rogers was thought to be gone for good.

Now, obviously, that didn't happen in the MCU, but that doesn't mean we can't see some great Bucky storylines playing out.

Because, as you might imagine, his term as Captain America wasn't exactly controversy-free.

Well, first I'll ask Regine this.

How do you feel about this film in comparison to the MCU? And then the second question for both of you, how do you feel about some of these MCU actors being in the second film? Scarlett Johansson is going to be in the sequel, as well as Sebastian Stan, who plays Bucky, is also going to be in the sequel.

I love it.

Go ahead, Regine.

Yeah.

I don't know.

But Bucky, I can definitely see him in this.

Yeah.

All right, so according to several of you all amazing, amazing viewers, there was a last page stinger that was pertaining to Nick Fury.

Now, in the previous issue, because of the Red Hulk blowing himself to smithereens and trying to take the superheroes with him, the only superhero that was actually sent to the Shadow Realm seemed to be Bucky Barnes.

And apparently that caused Steve Rogers to finally wake up out of his coma.

So all of you Tumblr users that like to put Steve and Bucky together, y'all just got more ammunition to do that.

But for whatever reason, Bucky Barnes is not dead as we see him slowly heal himself back to 100%, only to be awoken by Nick Fury, who tells him that we have a job to do.

Only it was not Nick Fury Jr. who I previously spoke of.

No, it was the return of Nick Fury Sr., the white one.

I, uh...

Something I love here, back when that first trailer came out, I was so convinced that Sam and Bucky were looking at Steve coming off of the Fantastic Four ship.

I'm doubling down in this one.

I think it's there.

Like, what?

This is mind-bogglingly crazy.

What is happening? The canon of the old Steve talking to Bucky and then giving the shield to Sam and like...

Am I the only one that's kind of just, like, not bothered by it, but, like, this is so weird.

Red Hulk.

Like Winter Soldier.

I know Winter Soldier might not make it out of these next few movies.

But like praying if he does... put him in that squad bro like you had to like there's so much potential yeah

but I know we talked about it earlier but it's like damn they gonna have Harrison Ford 90 year old no bro like what are they planning with that he's gonna be dead I don't know why they recast it and then they chose him I love Harrison Ford.

I really dug this thing.

I love when Bucky's in a movie.

For me, it was very enjoyable.

I'm going to give it an 8.7. And this was like where was it on my list? One, two, three, four, five, six.

Oh.

And I was always Bucky Barnes with wild ginger hair, freckles, and sparkling green eyes.

And one arm? Yeah.

I don't know if he sold it like that.

So in the history of Marvel Comics, the original android was called the Human Torch.

made an appearance in Captain America the First Avenger during the World's Fair that they were at right before Bucky went off to war.

You saw that android being displayed at that World's Fair.

And they made allusions to that android in the show.
