I am dead. I have died and now I am dead. The end.

(Okay, not the end. 1: How can a movie be that heartbreaking and that hilarious? 2: I LOVE EVERYONE. 3: I how can a movie be so satisfying, and so completely unsatisfying? ​Really, really liked it, though. I'm gonna have to see it again to process everything. More coherent thoughts to follow later

1: How can a movie be that heartbreaking and that hilarious?

Yes. This. Falcon. Bucky. WHO KNEW. I credit Seb & Anthony's highly acclaimed press tour appearances for this wondrous development. (And I want to sign all the petitions for a Cap, Bucky & Falcon road trip comedy... in a VW because it has to happen. HAS TO HAPPEN *pounds table* DO YOU HEAR ME MARVEL!!)

Also: Sam, honey, that's not what Peggy meant when she said to say, "No, YOU move..."

2: I LOVE EVERYONE.Same. Except for Ross. I despise Ross. Even with what Zemo did, at least he stirs some *small* sympathetic response. But not Ross. He is the very embodiment of everything awful about bureaucratic, power-hungry, arrogant flunkies who set aside civil rights when it suits him. Don't get me started... I want to hear your thoughts before I go on a rant

SAM, CAP, AND BUCKY ROAD TRIP, YES! The Sam and Bucky dynamic I absolutely did not expect, and it is awesome. See, Marvel thinks we want bigger and ever more impressive spectacles, and yeah, those can be good, but mostly what we want is grocery shopping and road trips and random snarking at each other in the course of daily life.

But, uh, yeah. Ross and Zemo get exemptions from the universal character love. :P Ross.... ooooh man. That is some scary stuff, and it gets scarier the more you think about it. I mean, initially, as heartbreaking as it is, you can kind of see a rational argument for restraining Bucky like that - not knowing his mental state or physical capabilities, as a very temporary situation until more reasonable accommodations could be arranged, it would be a way to keep him from hurting himself or anyone else. Later events, though, make it pretty clear it probably wasn't intended to be particularly temporary. Because for all he did, restraining Zemo in that way when he'd never demonstrated any unusual capabilities

This movie made me come home and gorge myself on Bucky HC (and, er, you wouldn't happen to know of any more good Bucky HC would you?)

[imbecamiel]

I knoooooow. Poor Bucky. They really, really need to give him some happy stuff in the upcoming movies. (Ooooh, Bucky H/C stories... Things have been so crazy I haven't even had time to look for recent stuff here, but if you haven't been reading Cairistiona's stories they are excellent.)

Thanks for the author rec :D I hate searching for fic. In a small fandom it's never a big deal, but a fandom as big as the MCU... it scares me, I won't lie.

Bucky is just a little fountain of hurt/comfort in need of more comfort. Thank goodness for Cap!

[imbecamiel]

I know what you mean! MCU is huuuuge, and tends to be so heavily dominated by intense slash shippers that diving in to find new stuff can be intimidating, to say the least. XP

Thank goodness for Cap, indeed! I do think that what we really need out of the next movie is a crazy road trip comedy. Not gonna happen, of course... but I want it.
