——Also on why the Winter Soldier is important to Captain America. In an interview with the creator of "Captain America 2" at the Apple Store in London in 2014 , the director Russell Brothers replied: "We have been collecting comic books since we were 10 years old." "As a comic book Collector, I know why I like comics. I like the (Captain America Comics) series created by Ed Brubaker, which is probably one of my favorite series. I like to disassemble comics and watch people break traditional comics. I also like that they give each hero a unique style, just like Brubaker's thrilling comic story series." "For us, the Winter Soldier is a ruthless character. He and the captain are completely two kinds of people. You know, he doesn't. As kind and principled as the captain. The Winter Soldier is a grumpy and lifeless villain. They (he and the captain) are two sides of the coin. Relatively speaking, the Winter Soldier is better at accomplishing his tasks-the Winter Soldier is good at killing people. The captain is good at protecting everyone. So it, there is a balance in it. It is very important for us to set a tense and cruel tone for the movie to pay tribute to the original Brubaker." "( The host asked the director to recommend the comics) The series about Captain Rebirth is great." "When I was a kid, I sometimes felt that Captain America was a bit too patriotic. Patriotic to superficial. So I started to brainstorm Steve. The appearance of McQueen, I have always been a little anxious (about this). This is why I like the series created by Brubaker. He reshaped this character. This (reshaped) character treats me, and there are many others. In other words, they are more acceptable. They (heroes) do not represent the country, but the principles and the code in his heart. This makes the role of Captain America more widely accepted by modern audiences."
above. As we all know, the operating method of American comics is different from the familiar Japanese comics and national comics. An American comic often has decades-long series. Artists and screenwriters have changed one after another. Parallel worlds and setting restarts are numerous. And the "Captain America" comic series began in 1941. Hitler was beaten up on the cover. Let's feel it-why do you want to beat Hitler more than 200 times in the movie "Captain America 1"? And... Bucky in the lower right corner of the cover.
The character Bucky, created by Joe Simon and Jack Kobe, appeared as Captain America's assistant, and has a history—obviously—as long as Captain America. You are reading this article before you were born, before "Saint Seiya" and "Dragon Ball" were not visible, before "Doraemon", before "Mao Tian Gong", all the way back to the era of "San Mao Wanderings" , Captain America and Bucky are active in comic books. Joe Simon and Jack Kobe, the two original creators are all Jewish. At the time of World War II, their pursuit of freedom and persistence in exercising justice were projected on their protagonists-Captain America and Bucky. , And once boosted the morale of the anti-Nazi side. Therefore, Captain America and Bucky were not black and gloomy from the beginning, and they were not villains. They are white, bright, righteous free men, and heroes. -If I only intend to end the proposition in one sentence. But continue on. The first film of Captain America was shot in 1944 (please join me with an academic mentality and take the translation and introduction listed below seriously)-67 years away from the 2011 version. The color animation can be traced back to 1966, so feel it again.
(↓ This is a tribute to team 1 ↑ screen)
In other words, the combination of Captain America + Bucky, for American comic fans, is equivalent to our mindlessness and dissatisfaction with Dasheng and Nezha, Black Cat Sheriff and White Cat squad leader, Saint Seiya Five Xiaoqiang, Sailor Moon The feelings of the five-person group-"Fuck, I watched them grow up", "I know this stalk", so. So Ed Brubaker discovered that one day he could no longer see Bucky in the comic book, and found that the comic company announced the death of this character- just like one day if we find that one of the Haier brothers is missing, or one of the new characters is unknown Replaced -you can imagine how exciting he was (then he broke into Marvel and resurrected Bucky as the Winter Soldier-"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" comic reprint postscript) and found it very exciting He wasn't the only one, the one who was most irritated was Captain America. American comic artists and screenwriters come and go, constantly rotating, but looking at "Captain America" V1-V7, and all Captain America related comics in other series, including the later Avengers animation series, and movies, all Bucky The existence of is all around all Captain America, or the character experience starts and unfolds around Captain America. And all Bucky's death is a heart disease of all Captain America. Whether in comics, animation, or movies, the life and death of Bucky Barnes influences Steve Rogers' emotions and judgment. He always blames himself for Bucky's death, and always hopes that Bucky is not dead, and for it to step into the trap set by the enemy again and again. In those ancient comics a few decades ago, Bucky was always caught in the classic section of the carriage back and forth—the villain used Bucky to fish out Captain America—Captain America beat the villain wildly. In the comics after Bucky’s disappeared, the classic segment became-fake Bucky appeared-the villain fished out Captain America with the fake Bucky-Captain America beat the villain madly-Captain America was sad, that's not true Bucky. The screenwriters are very good at mobilizing Captain America’s emotions, and they know the importance of Bucky to Captain America.Even in the cute "Avengers vs. X-Men", in order to get back his bucky bear, the little Captain America can lead people to fall out of the entire town.
In other words, "Being emotionally mobilized by an unexpected situation about Bucky (even a teddy bear), and then triggering the plot", this is a "character setting" of Captain America , the kind that is doomed to death. Marvel published a page of funny comics, "Laser Eye VS Captain America", even the X-Men character knew how to blow up Captain America, and then made him cry. Tibaki was right. (It's also right to grab Bucky Bear)
Therefore, this setting spans countless parallel universes, until Earth-199999-which is the Avengers and Captain America movie series we are most familiar with: MCU ("Marvel Cinematic Universe", the independent number indicates that it and the various universes in the comics It is the relationship between the parallel universes, not the relationship between the original work and the adaptation)-and no changes have been made. In "Captain America 1", the director said in the commentary that Bucky was the only reason for Captain America to leave his post without permission and go deep into danger.
Most people think that the filming of "Captain America 1" is very boring. But for comic fans, there is a lot to explore in Captain America 1. In the comics, Steve Rogers was thin and weak before accepting the serum. The movie did not change this setting. The one that changed the most in the movie was Bucky's setting. In the comics, Bucky is four years younger than Steve. He is short and has a strong sense of justice, but his temper is not very docile. And this part of the setting in the movie was transferred to Steve, who became the "child-like, but still stubborn, brave man on the battlefield" (Steve was tall and thin before the serum experiment in the comics) , And Bucky is set to grow up with Steve, "an inseparable good friend" ("Captain America 2" museum plot, commentary).
The "Bean Sprout Shield" in the movie is part of the shadow projection of Bucky, the short but stronger firecracker in the comics (the other part is the self-projection of the original author, who not only drew the comics, but also participated in the army), and in the movie "Jambaji" is the shadow projection of the older brother Captain America in the comics. The Captain America in the comics is the hero of young Bucky. When he is in danger, Captain America will always appear. Bucky in the movie is the hero of young Steve, and Bucky can always find him when he is in danger.
But they still retain the part of themselves in the other universe. Captain America can always fight for Bucky alone, and Bucky will always follow Captain America. Even for Captain America, Bucky dropped the plane in the comics, dropped the train in the movie, and was picked up by the enemy. After being tortured, brainwashed, and transformed into a "winter soldier", he returned. Once his memory was restored, the Winter Soldier immediately turned to Captain America's side.
Similarly, in comics and movies, let alone the villain can’t hurt Bucky, once it is discovered that someone else is playing "justice" (derogatory, of course) against Bucky, Captain America immediately, immediately, and without hesitation He will stand on the opposite side of "justice" and do everything possible to keep Bucky safe even if the methods are not very bright.
From the trailer of the first version of "Captain America 3" to the official release now, there are always many people exclaiming, "Why is Captain America so in love with his brain, he actually fought with the government and friends for the Winter Soldier, and the setting has fallen blabla... …" In fact, the personal design is a bit collapsed. For example, in the first interview with the director of "Captain America 2", the director said that he likes the Captain America comic series created by Ed Brubaker the most. The key plots of this series are the appearance of the Winter Soldier, the Winter Soldier's memory, and the Winter Soldier's guilt and disappearance. , (Civil War-regardless of Ed's business), the death of Captain America, the resurrection of Captain America, the Winter Soldier's shield, and the trial of the Winter Soldier. Among the chapters in the " Trial " series, in order to prove the innocence of the Winter Soldier, Captain America did not hesitate to discuss cooperation with the villain, threatening the existence of the villain’s brainwashing technology to testify in court, and hypnotize the “innocent” people on the spot in the court. , Sometimes I can’t talk about how innocent it is), let everyone experience what it is like to be controlled by others, and the internal OS of the Winter Soldier "is desperate to save me... lost myself" . Look, this is the style of Captain America in the comics published by Marvel, and the "Captain America 3" (this one in the MCU) just stops the chasers, the Panthers, the Iron Man, and all kinds of things. The Winter Soldier fled.
Then there was the bloody topic of shielding. After Captain America was resurrected, he didn't think there was any problem with the Winter Soldier's receiving his shield. He was very happy. However, seeing the resurrection of Captain America, the Winter Soldier refused to do any more work as an agent for Captain America. However, during the "death" of Captain America, he saw that the Winter Soldier of that world died in the parallel world, and that Winter Soldier did not wear Captain America's uniform, so Captain America obsessively thought that if Bucky remained as Captain America, He won't die, and he will also stuff the shield to the Winter Soldier. (Simply sum up, in the comic shield receiving incident, Captain America’s logic is that receiving the shield is good for Bucky, so Bucky must receive the shield without hesitation.) (In the movie, the shield is dropped to mean "You are My friend, I won’t fight with you", Captain America did not hesitate) (Then at the end of "Captain America 3", he also simply...) In short, how much worth of vibrating shields, orange equipment , You think it’s important, but he thinks it’s not important at all.
In another comic in the Captain America series, Planet Hulk, a Steve Rogers from a parallel universe, Bucky died in front of him because of the war, and his three views were destroyed and he became a villain. (In the end, he was killed by another Steve who also lost Bucky, but resisted the pain and did not fall)
In the comics "Captain America: White", the Red Skull asked Captain America directly: "The country is important, or is Bucky important?"
"I know how important Bucky is to you."-Natasha's line in "Captain America 3" is not only Natasha's line, but also Marvel's screenwriters have been committed to expressing One point of view- Bucky is indeed very important to Captain America, he is just as important as mentioned above.
In the common creative thinking of European and American writers and screenwriters, heroes fighting bravely and bravely fighting against the devil always have a reason to be less "great and righteous" apart from "for justice and peace, for truth and faith." In the adventure, the heroes always find a treasure, a panacea hidden in a deep cave. Sometimes the heroes will realize its existence, and sometimes the answer will not be revealed until the end of the story. And it can be money, love, friendship, family, or other things, but it's not killing the devil himself. (Hollywood screenwriter consultant Christopher Vogler: "The Journey of a Writer: The Essentials of Writing from Myths") For example, the original myth motif, Jason’s goal was to obtain the Golden Fleece, but his destiny also gave him his deep love Medea-the heroes always get something extra. For example, Frodo destroyed the Lord of the Rings in "Lord of the Rings" and saved the world, but saving the world was not his biggest goal. His heart belonged to the Shire, and he was allowed to travel west. For example, in the same play, Aragorn’s established future is to return to Gondor and become king, but that is not his biggest dream. His biggest dream, and the reward he most wants, is to be with Arwen. Sauron and the Lord of the Rings battle is the only way for Frodo and Aragorn's adventure, but it is not their end. Why did the movie ending of "Lord of the Rings" drag so long after the end of the final war, because those that dragged so long are the real endings, and they are a tribute to the protagonists. For example, in "Titanic", the love between Jack and Ruth is an obvious theme, but Ruth did not stop at the moment when the love died. She continued to live and find new love, obtaining the freedom she had always wanted. A happy life. But when Captain America didn't understand this role, everyone thought he was "patriotic to superficial" and justice to superficial. There is even no shortage of people who think that Captain America is a "mouthpiece" under the orders of the US government. The purpose of his existence is to kill the great demon kings who are enemies with the United States, as well as the great demon kings, and the great demon kings. And the "justice" and "American spirit" for which he fought for us have been exposed to history, religion, and political parties of various countries since we were young. Among them, there are many "new new humans" who have anti-human and anti-social views. In other words, even the refutation is too lazy to refute. Coupled with the name of the United States as a hero, if this role only looks at the surface, except for the handsome appearance of the actor, it is almost unflattering. This is a very isolated character. He does not have a "dark past" for humanity to discover, and he has no personal, selfish, and especially wanted "my precious" that allows him to show another humanity for this. , Can even support him after hitting the Arctic Ocean and crawling out of there to chase, to happy the finale-it seems like this. He seems to have only justice. Born only to beat Hitler more than 200 times. Fortunately, the Marvel screenwriters, in the decades-long plot and character tug-of-war, finally understood that Captain America is not a national personification of the United States, nor is it a continuation of World War II ideology, nor is it the background of the Avengers team with the name of a captain. plate. He is a superhero character, but he also has an ordinary person whose name is Steve Rogers. They began to think, what kind of person is this Steve Rogers after taking off his mask? What does he really want? In the manga "The Outdated", Captain America wakes up from World War II to the new century, sees world peace, America's prosperity, and at the same time sees Bucky's phantom.
However, there is no Bucky in this era. Bucky "stayed in the icy sea in 1945", so part of him was also kept in World War II. He thought, since a miracle happened to him, it might happen again. Maybe Bucky is not dead, he can also go back to World War II, and Bucky goes incognito and wanders together. Even if he is not Captain America, it’s okay. He doesn’t care.
In the movie "Captain America 2", this person doesn't know what makes him happy. He went to the museum to see images of the past, standing long before Bucky's display board. Everyone in the Roaring Commando has passed away, and Howard has also passed away. Peggy is too old and delirious. The veterans at the Veterans Center and him are not in the same timeline. He was like a man who had been in jail for decades before being released, and found that there were no people or things familiar to him on the street. He continues to fight for justice, for others, for the whole world, in this unfamiliar new century. He has new colleagues, new teams, and new leaders. However, he had no friends to make heart-to-heart, no one taught him how to talk to girls, he was at home listening to old records from the World War II era.
Until the mask of the Winter Soldier was taken off. Even if the Black Widow and Falcon persuaded him, "He is no longer the person in the past" and "Don't dig too deep", he still insisted on saying: "He will remember me" and "I'm going to find him." He persistently said to the Winter Soldier: "You know me, you have known me since childhood."
Yes, Bucky is the treasure, personal affair, and adventure rewards in Captain America’s story—Captain America’s actor Chris Evans said in an interview , “Captain America faces too many struggles and too many difficulties. He rushed to the forefront and left at the end. There was a little personal matter. The existence of such a role as Bucky was a reward for him." So those who are not black and white, but are testing divinity and humanity. In the end, he gave up becoming a god and chose Bucky. Therefore, whether in the comics or in the movies, " Go to the end of the world and find Bucky " ("Hulk Planet") is the most important mission story for Captain America in addition to the main mission. Readers and screenwriters who have experienced Bucky's disappearance from the comics have been obsessed with this. Captain America himself is extremely persistent. From top to bottom, Marvel really feels this. Director interviews, actor interviews, they all express this. So don't blame the audience after watching the movie. So, what kind of person is Captain America? -" Just a kid from Brooklyn ". In "Captain America 1", Steve Rogers said to the Red Skull. -"I'm from Brooklyn." In "Captain America 3", he once again claimed to a kid from Queens. This person never felt that he was the incarnation of justice, he did not feel that he was a god, he just went to exercise justice, and in order to exercise justice, he often used some small means. For example, fabricating experience to join the army.
He is not an impeccable saint. He killed people on the battlefield of World War II, instead of holding up a scripture to persuade the Nazis and Hydra to lay down their butchers and be vegetarian. He has acted in stage plays, filmed movies, and sold national debt. He has been dealing with rich people, politicians, and stars for a long time. He has been stunned from the Brooklyn kid who can be pinched up in the movie theater. This is a "mature man" who can only secretly draw monkeys on his notebook and complain about himself-but he is still the Brooklyn kid, once he decides to do what he thinks is the right thing, he will not hesitate to violate the military order.
In "Captain America 2", his "deficiency" remained unchanged. He thought it was the right thing to kill Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D., and then he did it. After that, he felt that he had done what he should do for the country and the world, so he decided to wake up Bucky, even if because of this he might face many problems-for example, once the existence of the Winter Soldier is known to the world, Will become the biggest stain on the great and positive image of Captain America. And in some novels where the protagonist is cool and domineering, and is bent on climbing high, in some movies and televisions where the protagonist is selfless and serves the country for the people, the role of the Winter Soldier is indeed set for the protagonist to kill by himself. The shining image of the protagonist. Captain America has no dark past, but the Winter Soldier does.
However, in addition to the two identities of Captain America and the Winter Soldier, he is Steve Rogers, and he is Bucky Barnes. They have known each other nearly a century ago. They know the names of each other's parents, they know the embarrassment of each other's childhood, they have shared happy memories, and they also have the experience of supporting each other and protecting each other's backs on the battlefield. They are friends, comrades-in-arms, life and death friends, and the only remaining family members of each other. They met across countless universes, and they were inseparable in countless universes. When he had nothing, there was at least one Bucky beside him .
However, it is not very accurate to simply define this feeling as family affection, friendship, sympathy in the military, and even love. Like the common setting of angel twins in the second dimension, there is a person who was created with you since the beginning of the world (1941). When you become light, he flees as a shadow, but light and shadow always follow, "like the two sides of a coin." Such connections and feelings cannot be simply defined and classified into a certain kind, just as a person cannot define his own soul. " Soulmate "-In the preface of the bound volume of "Captain America: White," Stephen McFeely and Christopher Marcus, the screenwriters of the "Captain America" series of films, indeed positioned those two people in this way. "I can't lose Bucky", "I won't leave you behind", "I will stay with you until the end", "There is no future without Bucky", "Bucky, do you remember me?"-From the comics From the animation to the movie, it has been proved that Bucky is as important as and as important to Captain America, is the heel of Achilles, transcends everything, transcends "the so-called justice."
Personal, selfish, especially wanted. If during World War II, a minute before hitting the Arctic Ocean, Bucky's voice would come out of the radio, saying: "I'm not dead, Steve." "Captain America", one episode is over. Of course, I mean, if Bucky is not dead, he will go to the ice to dig out Steve even if he breaks his hand or his foot—" That guy from Brooklyn, he never escapes in a fight, I have to watch He. " (The original line of "Captain America 1") And Steve was inspired by Bucky's undead soul, and probably crawled out of hell as well-he did. In another universe, in the Avengers cartoon, Captain America fell into the illusion of the kingdom of the dead, but Bucky’s soul was not there, holding the idea that the underworld where Bucky was absent was a fake underworld, he broke the illusion.
Back to "justice". For Steve Rogers, justice is not a statutory clause, but a direction he chooses. " They (heroes) do not represent the country, but the principles and the code in his heart ." And "political correctness", Bucky is Steve's political correctness, or to blame the victim, everywhere It will not be politically correct. Therefore, in "Captain America 3", indiscriminately must capture Bucky, and kill the United Nations, which can only be regarded as politically incorrect by Captain America and resisted. The Captain America in the comics also fought with government and military presidents and other parties for several rounds about Bucky, the Winter Soldier, questioned and opposed their plan to try the Winter Soldier, and tried his best to defend the Winter Soldier. Say " You are condemning the gun, not the person who pulled the trigger ".
Bucky’s nature is innocent, and the Winter Soldier is an innocent victim, "is the longest tortured prisoner of war" (director’s words). He believes Bucky is unjust. Both the Captain America in the comics and the Captain America in the movies. Something to say. To think that the Winter Soldier is a homicide war criminal is not to blame the perpetrator, instead of blaming the Hydra, but to blame the victim's wrongdoing-three views are not right, politics is not correct, to sacrifice Bucky to wash the ground for real crimes . Captain America thinks so. And this concept continues to extend to the topic of civil war. In the comics, his true identity was disclosed because of the "Superhero Registration Act", which evoked revenge from the villain and killed and injured many superheroes and their relatives and friends. In the movie, because of the signing of the "Sokovia Agreement", the superheroes will not be able to act without authorization and will be dispatched by the United Nations-even if the danger is close at hand, even if the United Nations sends them to destroy a country in the name of justice. Standing on the side of the highest power is justice? Or do you follow your own conscience? In "Captain America 2", the US team said to the Winter Soldier: " There will be many people who will die because of this (Insight Plan). I can't allow this to happen ." In "Captain America 3", the US team repeatedly stated that he The "Sokovia Agreement" will not be signed. The only time it was loosened was when Iron Man said that if he signed it, they could make Bucky a better life after he caught Bucky.
In the future, as long as the screenwriter and director are not replaced by Tieba hiring staff (Alibaba Pictures Incident), as long as the high-level leaders who grasp the general direction are not convulsed, they will not lose their original ideas when they want to come to Captain America—to fight for the justice in their hearts. , Not justice in terms. Even if the "justice" in front is the Winter Soldier-well, a shield knocks out, and talks back (this is what team 2 did). Fortunately, in Team 3, the Winter Soldier said: "I have done nothing bad." The Winter Soldier-Bucky is back. In Team 3, they fought side by side again, just as they used to be in the streets and lanes of Brooklyn, on the battlefield of World War II, in 1941. The first episode of the year's comics.
——Okay, after reading this, if you get confused because of my writing too long, you still don’t understand what Captain America is, why he is desperate to defend the Winter Soldier, and he doesn’t hesitate to follow The Iron Man camp must also oppose the government's bill. Please scroll up and re-read the first few paragraphs. Please read the Captain America comics written by Ed Brubaker and the leading movie comics based on the director's recommendation. Please watch "Captain America 1" and "Captain America 2" again, and then watch "Captain America 3" again. over. ============== -------If you are reading the "Captain America is Hydra" series of news, then read my article, don’t understand Why don’t I mention this big event, please click on it and see what I said in the article: The parallel world in Meiman, the "setting restart" incidents are numerous, and the screenwriters and artists come and go.. What does this show? ——Many screenwriters suddenly changed their settings with a single shot of their heads, and many high-level decision-making suddenly convulsed, launching a series of extreme "big events". For example, DC's Superman used to be the Superman of the former Soviet Union, fought for socialism, Spiderman was also "blackened", and the painting of characters was completely obliterated, as "has not existed." The story of these headshots has exploded countless times, until the final reversal, or a change of screenwriter to overthrow everything that happened before. Another example is the main universe in the Marvel comics universe-number 616, which was actually blown to pieces last year. The Captain America we see in the comics serialized today are actually "the same person in different parallel worlds". "Existence in space", birth background and growth experience are different from the initial setting of 616, and of course different from the setting of the movie universe. White horse is not a horse. In other words, what you just heard about is a Captain America in a parallel world numbered by XX. And this Captain America only popped out a while ago. His story is still being serialized, so I didn't mention him when I wrote this article. Because even I don't know he will come out, and I don't know where his story will go, so I can't evaluate him in detail. But the big news of "Captain America is a Hydra", or a big gimmick, is the first time in 75 years. The new screenwriter completely ignores the past settings and reshapes Captain America to satisfy his own views on current political events— —If you are not hearsay, but see related news, posts mentioning this big news, please take a moment to open the page and take a closer look at the report and everyone’s comments. And this view (and practice) of his has aroused strong disgust at home and abroad. The actors of the US team protested, and the CEO of Marvel Studios also retweeted to protest. ( Link) This is an unprecedented extreme setting change event. Fans are very angry, and many people inside Marvel are unhappy. However, many people who don't know the cause and effect of watching lively passers-by regard this as the "truth", thinking that this is always hidden in the comics, and it will be the same in the movie. I have seen many people in many places saying, "No wonder Iron Man has to fight Captain America in "Civil War" because Captain America is a Hydra." In fact, it was completely messed up. Movies and comics are parallel universes, and the setting and story line are different from the beginning. For example, the civil war in the comics is much more fierce than in the movies. For example, in the comics, the former Soviet Union transformed the Winter Soldier. For example, in the comics, the first generation of Dr. Ant-Man was made by Dr. In addition, "Marvel Comics" and "Marvel Pictures" are currently separated. "Marvel Pictures" is directly under Disney and does not have to follow the command of "Marvel Comics". Therefore, the basis of the setting in the movie is comics, but the comics will not lead them. And the comic drawing will probably disappoint the delighted Captain America at the end, and a reversal will occur. It’s just that no one cares. Most people just look at a title and watch the excitement. They don’t care about the follow-up or what the story in the comics is telling. Passersby watching the excitement will only remember the excitement of "Captain America is a Hydra", just like after they watch the movie, no matter how the movie implies that the Winter Soldier is controlled by someone, it is only because it is too lively in the end and only remembers it." The Winter Soldier killed Iron Man's parents" and then confided his understanding everywhere, no matter how hard the fans tried to explain, there would be no better public opinion results. For this, I can only directly upload the picture.
