With Captain America: The Winter Soldier coming out, soon I was curious about where the name “Winter Soldier” came from. It turns out it’s a lot more than just a cool-sounding name comic book writer Ed Brubaker came up with. It has its roots in the Vietnam War and even goes back to Thomas Paine.
I first became curious about the origins of the term “Winter Soldier” after hearing podcast host Jesse Thorn mention it a few times on his show Jordan, Jesse, Go!He was put off by Marvel’s use of the phrase due to its association with the Vietnam War’s Winter Soldier Hearings.
Rather than paraphrasing him, I reached out to Thorn about his feelings on the situation. Here is his reply: […]
Second chances don’t come around all that often. I suggest you take a really close look at it. This is your chance to earn that look in your daughter’s eyes, to become the hero that she already thinks you are.

I know that Marc really felt proud seeing his pure dorkly innocent boi Steven make that powerful punch. He didn’t say it came from Khonshu’s power. NOPE Steven did that Marc says, and YOU’RE RIGHT STEVEN deserved that praise before passing the baton! Can we have a Marc training Steven session SOON?! PET HIS HAIR MARC!
This moment was giving big brother energy like “you did really well I’m very proud, but now I going to need you to step aside so you don’t get hurt and I’ll take it from there, alright buddy?”
Am I the only that thinks Bucky is going to be the more lighthearted one of the two in the Falcon and Winter Soldier series, cause bro:
Sam looks so annoyed in every scene with Bucky. In this gif, he’s stressed, the “I left my oven on and I’m pretty sure that’s my building burning in the distance” kind of stressed and BUCKY LOOKS LIKE AN ACQUAINTANCE HAPPILY JOGGING ALONG AS UNWELCOME MORAL SUPPORT AND IT SEEMS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THEM. Even when they’re fighting Peter, Bucky doesn’t grow more frustrated he’s kind of just like, “Damn,” and Sam is like, “mOTHERFUC-”
These situations are among the worst Sam has ever been in.
Bucky? Shit, any day Nazis are not electrocuting him is a fucking great day.
also, i assume that bucky isnt actually supersoldier running. because he is keeping pace with his new friend sam
sam: oh god gonna save the world oh fuck
bucky: out for a pleasant jog, might shoot some bad guys, who knows
Sam: How the fuck aren’t you stressed right now
Bucky: You have no idea how low my bar is for a good day
