    I’ve always felt Bucky was the more interesting choice. He’s not like Steve, he’s not a beacon of righteousness. And I think it’s really interesting to see a man with so much guilt stepping into the symbol of mora authority. He may not be the logical choice, but being Cap would be more than an alias to Barnes, it’s a chance for redemption.

    I liked Bucky as Captain America better because of the redemption story and how he was often an underdog. He wasn’t a Boy Scout, but he tried to honor his friend’s legacy

      Logan LeBlanc u know what I don’t agree in the MCU. In the comics yeh sure. In the movies I think Sam is a better fit, Winter Soldier can still lead the thunderbolts and has a little bit of redemption left, he’s not ready for the Cap mantle yet. Falcon rlly needs something to do without Steve around tbh so him taking up the mantle and still not being aware why as he doesn’t have abilities will be so interesting to see on screen.

      @@NightmareproductionsOFFICIAL I think he is. I think that taking the mantle as Captain America would have been the perfect way for Bucky to find his place in the world after everything that happened. And he has a version of the super serum so he can throw the shield. Also, if Bucky was Captain America it would have opened up a lot of awesome potential storylines.

    • @NightmareproductionsOFFICIAL
      @NightmareproductionsOFFICIAL Před 5 lety +6

      Tamera Farly yeh it could but it’s the same with both Sam and Bucky tbh as there is a lot of overlooked Sam Wilson Cap stories, I just think we should give Sam a chance as Anthony Maccie is a fantastic actor and it’d be pretty awesome to see him do more on the MCU plus I just think Winter Soldier has a few more things to do before he becomes cap one of these being leading the thunderbolts and redeeming other ex villains. I wouldn’t worry to much anyway I can still see him taking on the mantle down the road.
      I do see your point though I just think both men have endless potential as Cap in the MCU.

    Buckey Barnes overall is just a solider with a lot of trauma that is often manipulated into missions. His mental disorder was so dangerous made it easy for him to get triggered and side trackers into missions. The U.S. government didn’t even try to help buckey they just swept him him under the rug.

    Sam was definitely a better candidate to play Captain America, as his image was clean for the public
    But if Steve chose Bucky, it would've been amazing to see a Kratos or Thor type character arc for Bucky, where he atones his sins and actually shows why he is worthy ( they could've showed this in Cap4 and TFATWS easily )
    As much as I love Sam's Captain America, I find him a bit immature as cimpare to Bucky.
    And it would've been fire if Rhodey became the new Ironman and the new trinity of MCU consisted of Bucky's Cap, Rhodey's Ironman and Thor, would've been absolutely amazing.
