Suddenly thinking about a recovering Bucky Barnes.
His brain was obviously heavily damaged due to all the times he was given electroshocks to forget, but do you think he had any other issues besides memory displacement and memory loss? Seizures? Tics? Stuttering? Tremors? Headaches? Chronic fatigue? Not to mention his PTSD from everything that happened to him while he was under Hydra’s control and from the war itself. I’m willing to bet Hydra hardly fed him or let him sleep (the closest he could ever get was being put under). I also can’t imagine all the kinds of drugs they also would’ve given him to keep him more compliant and submissive, so there’s withdrawal symptoms to consider, too.
When he’s eventually in a place to actually take care of himself/be taken care of, I imagine his serum would finally be able to catch up and heal some of the damage, rather than just doing the bare minimum and keeping him functioning. But it obviously wouldn’t heal everything. He still forgets, still sometimes wakes up and thinks it’s WW2 or is startled to find that Steve is no longer small. Sometimes he loses the light in his eyes and asks what his mission is and insists that he’s ready to comply. Sometimes he doesn’t speak for days. Sometimes all he can do is lay in bed with the lights turned off and the curtains closed, leaving him in total darkness as his head aches and aches..
But he loses his stutter over time, unless he’s particularly overwhelmed or his thoughts are just too fast for his mouth to keep up with. He doesn’t tic as much. He no longer eyes all possible exits or keeps hidden weapons on him all the time. He remembers his childhood and his family. He has an appetite again. He opens himself up to others. He smiles and teases and laughs. He is able to love and allows himself to be loved.
Bucky Barnes’ mother had always said he was a resilient kid. And, these days, he’s so glad that she was right.
We all know who they are. For hilarious effect, I will provide a general translation of what the posters describe each of them as.
BUCKY:
WINTER SOLDIER — Captain America’s bro. The roughneck who always loses his arm.
YELENA:
BLACK WIDOW 2.0 — Black Widow’s fake sister. The team leader, but nobody cares.
ALEXEI:
RED GUARDIAN — Black Widow’s fake father. The funny tank who takes a beating.
JOHN WALKER:
PIRATED CAPTAIN AMERICA — Beta edition Captain America. The guy who makes his own equipment.
AVA:
GHOST — Antman’s adversary. Often the master of disappearing.
ANTONIA:
TASKMASTER — Black Widow’s formidable adversary. Uses the opponent’s skills against them
So fucked up how every single person in Better Call Saul is doomed from the very beginning. We know that everyone working for the cartel dies in Breaking Bad. Gus, the Salamancas, Emilio, Domingo, Mike, they're all dead. Nacho never stood a chance in the first place, now he haunts the show that was set in stone when he wasn't even ink on paper. Chuck haunts the narrative even after his death, he never really leaves, does he? The cartel and the lawyers storylines had to cross over eventually, we've known that from the very beginning. Howard and Lalo getting burried under the lab Walt and Jesse cook meth in, the lab where Gus kills Victor, the lab that gets burned down. All this while their bones are in the ground, under their feet. Oh and Kim and Jimmy. Jimmy was always going to become Saul Goodman and Kim was always going to leave him at some point. It didn't matter how much they loved each other, it was never going to be a happy ending. Chuck was right, Jimmy never changed. Until he did. In the very very end. When he faced all of the consequences of his actions. The criminal-lawyer protagonist ending up in jail for the rest of his life is the perfect, poetic ending. It's just like Saul said, someone has to go to jail for all of it and that someone was always going to be Jimmy McGill. A time machine wouldn't have made a difference.
