Captain America Civil War - Tumblr Posts
Okay, okay, okay. So, Civil War. Yes, the dreaded divorce between Steve and Iron Man. I once theorized (yea, through Tik Tok again) that Bucky was used by Zemo as just a means to an end. Bucky was the catalyst to the destruction of the Avengers, not the cause. Why? Well, look at the most basic terms. Civil War. Every war has its battles, this one had only two. The first and initial battle happened in Germany. Then, it was just two groups with opposing perspectives pulling any allies they could in assistance. Sure, Steve fought only because they threatened Bucky, but they didn’t. No one except T’Challa did. If anything, they were trying to prevent T’Challa from killing Bucky. Tony was there because of the Accords. He didn’t care about Steve’s new pal, yeah, he was accused of killing King T’Chaka, but it was just an apprehension to Tony. He was following orders. He wanted to help Steve, to straighten everything out. The back up and potential arrests were only in a worst case scenario. And even then, once the arrests were made and he realized just how far, too far, the Accords went, Tony tried to make up for it. He realized he was wrong. And that could’ve been the end of it. Steve would’ve gone off radar, so would each of his allies, and Tony and the remaining Avengers would’ve gone on with their lives, half-heartedly chasing after Steve whenever he showed his face. That’s obviously not what happened, but it was so close to being a possibility.
Zemo is a lot like Ultron. They both hate the Avengers and want to destroy them under the guise of vengeance or protecting the people. The biggest mistakes Ultron made, which led to his defeat and death, were posing as a threat to humanity. He could’ve killed off the world’s mightiest heroes and then done away with humanity. They were already partially divided via Wanda’s mental attacks. He had almost won, but rushing it caused his plans to collapse on themselves. He went with the two-birds-one-stone solution and paired with the fact that he aligned himself with two kids with consciences and who were in way over their heads, he was bound to fail at some point. Ultron impatience caused his plan to collapse on itself. He made himself the common goal that united the Avengers and cemented their familial bonds to one another. He both failed and turned his only team members against him. Was killed by one of them. Zemo got lucky. He took advantage of an already precarious situation. The Avengers were facing the repercussions of what had happened in Sokovia. He had a plan. Ultron was technically a baby throwing a tantrum. Yes, a well informed baby that’s tantrum almost wiped out mankind, but a baby nonetheless. Zemo lost his family. He lost everything he cared about to the people sworn to protect and defend them. He was obsessed. He spent weeks, months, researching his enemies and planning for the best course of actions. Made more plans, just in case.
He found his champion, the unwilling and unwitting Bucky Barnes, who wanted nothing more than to just leave his past behind him and rediscover himself. Zemo knew that he might’ve had to wait years to reach his goals, he was vengeful not stupid. But he was just impatient enough to use Bucky whenever the opportunity presented itself, regardless of other factors or their consequences. Funnily enough, Wanda’s unfortunate slip that resulted in innocent Wakandan lives taken was the perfect opening for the start of his plan. Kill the king of a third world country and start a global outrage. If Steve Rogers was even a tenth of as loyal to Bucky as Zemo thought he was, he’d fight to the death to protect him. And once Zemo confirmed that Bucky killed the Starks under Hydra’s command and brainwashing, Tony would go into a rage that would cause a permanent rift between the Avengers. Zemo knew that his actions would end in either his arrest or death. He prepared for that, too. He deserved it. No matter how he planned it, people would die, some of them would be innocent. He’d kill himself and really cement his place in Hell. But those monsters who took his family would go down with him.
To be completely honest, Zemo felt bad for Bucky. He felt guilty having to use this struggling man, this innocent man, to achieve his goals. But in his eyes it was the only way. Because the Avengers were terrorists, and Bucky was going to help Zemo save millions of families from those dangerous and out of control people who hold little value for human life. Once again, Bucky was portrayed as a hero for a madman’s devices. It was laughable, how often this man manipulated. He’d been manipulated the majority of his much too long life. But, since he had already handled it once already, for seventy years, he would deal with it one more time for a few days until his death.
Bucky was still alive. He should’ve been killed. He wasn’t. Maybe there was a God. A God who decided that James Buchanan Barnes had had enough. Because Bucky Barnes had been to Hell, and he kept going. He was used as a pawn, twice. He’d had been trapped in his own mind, twice. He’d been turned against his best friend, twice. He’d been granted clemency and forgiveness once and it was plenty for him. He might not have thought he deserved it, but the fact that he had it at all proved that maybe he could. Maybe he could forgive himself. Maybe he could be a hero.
Here me out
what if Steve Rogers was the guy who drew the “Kilroy was here” meme during WW2

Before and After watching Civil War
So before I even knew about Civil War a friend was telling me about it and asked which side I was on and my only response was "what? No, why are my babies fighting? They shouldn't be fighting each other!" Then after asking most of my friends whose sides they were on -to which they all replied team cap- they asked me and I really couldn't choose since I love both characters. After watching Civil War I still couldn't choose because I get both sides, I understand Cap because I would definitely start a Civil War for Bucky, and Tony I understand as well, he just wants to fix what he did because he was the one who created Ultron, he just wanted to prevent that from happening again and take responsibility. I totally get his reaction to when he discovered that Bucky killed his parents -I know that bucky was brainwashed and wasn't really bucky then but imagine if that had happened to you? How heartbroken would you feel? Your initial reaction would be to want justice and you don't really care if that person wasn't in their right mind. I found it so heartbreaking when Steve was like "he's my friend" and Tony was like "so was I" like how do you choose after that? Like I don't want Tony to go after Bucky but I get where he is coming from and I get where Steve is coming from. But it was such a great movie. Although when Bucky decided to go back into the cryo tank I was like nooooooo. But it was a stunning movie, can't wait to see what's next

I can’t trust my own mind. So, until they figure out how to get this stuff out of my head I think going back under is the best thing…for everybody.
Why I’m Team Cap (and It Really Couldn’t Be Any Other Way)
#TeamCap and the big problem with the superhero genre #Arrow #Daredevil #CivilWar #MCU #DC
I recently started watching Arrow on Netflix; everyone on Tumblr seems to think “Olicity” is the greatest OTP since The One True Way or at least Destiel (neither Destiel nor Olicity reaching the heights of OTW obvi) and I wanted to understand (this is also how I ended up watching 9.5 seasons of Supernatural, but that is a story for another time). I also recently, like everyone else with a Netflix…

I’m team Cap myself. Sexy Bara Captain America illustrated by me. @ChrisEvans
I just want to point out that Captain America: The Winter Soldier was, always has been (except for a short time before I got my sanity back. I used to briefly think Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was better, but not) and still is to date the best MCU movie and it's centered around Bucky Barnes, the man himself who I hope will have a much brighter future in the MCU. How he's been treated since being put on ice at the end of Civil War in Wakanda (Black Panther) has been pretty cruddy. Ever since it feels like he's just been used for background characterization, filler, like a pawn on the chessboard to push other characters stories and I don't like it.
Give my Bucky some better love MCU!
p.s. I know it's super hard on Sebastian to get in Bucky shape from Civil War but damn did he look his fucking best.

Infinity war wanted to be Civil War soooo bad.
Okay like...I get it, civil war came out forever ago, and it can be annoying when the fandom is so polarized, but if people still want to analyze it because they still find it interesting, let them. There’s nothing wrong with lengthy analysis/rants as long as there aren’t threats involved
Makes me want to write fic where someone stares at a security camera! Also, though Bucky is my favorite, I do love Scott.

Well, it makes sense that Captain America is having trouble finding Bucky right now in the MCU; he was on a mission to Mars. A mission, I might add, that got extended. I wonder if they'll address it in Civil War.
