HERE WE SEE CHEST HAIR. A grown-ass man will sometimes have chest hair. This is unsurprising. It is even on display for us with that rugged deep V. Werk, Bucky.
BUT HERE WE HAVE EXHIBIT B:
CLEARLY HERE YOU ARE AS HAIRLESS AS A NEWBORN BABE, IF SOMEWHAT MORE MUSCULAR.
Sir, I have QUESTIONS. They are as follows:
Who waxed you?
Or were you shaved?
Was it a HYDRA employee or were you required to do this yourself before you went under?
Did they just wax it all clean or did they take a Gilette to your nips for detail work?
Are your arms also as hairless as a newborn naked mole rat?
Is all of this hairlessness to reduce friction underneath the 100lbs of body armor you have to wear?
If this hair removal process was done while you were frozen, couldn’t they just have like, buffed you with a rag and all of it would have broken off?
Couldn’t they have also taken the time to shave your face or give you a decent haircut? I just feel like this is a strangely specific kind of effort to put in, manscaping a Murder Tool.
Were you oiled?
How often were you oiled?
Do you need assistance oiling yourself?
Any further details on the process of oiling your body are appreciated. Don’t be shy.
Is there any way for us to have this conversation even in jest without getting super sad about the fact that you were tortured for like 95 years while your best friend/boyfriend was frozen in the Arctic and also thought you were dead after watching you fall from a train and being unable to save you and blaming himself for your death?
Okay military meta time friends. I’ve been meaning to take this one on for a while but I’m in the field at 2337 after a crazy long day on my best behavior around high ranking brass because my CO/BFF sent me on a cherry assignment so I am warn out, and I’m gonna make this short.
When this gif set first came out it simply said predator mode engaged. Then it was changed to hunting module. I reblogged both because I love this fucking gif: both are prime examples of a nonfiring actor correctly emulating behavior of a firer. Seb has played a soldier before and he is good at correctly emulating the distinct way we move when constantly carrying a deadly weapon. Chris evans, btw, is baaaad at that.
However the more recent reblogs of this gif set come with the additional commentary about similarities between the way Bucky moves and the way Winter moves. And from a professional standpoint I can instinctually bit emphatically tell you that the similarities are few and the differences are astronomical. Other than basic weapons and tactical proficiency, Bucky and Winter could not move more differently if they tried.
For one, Bucky lacks the thousand mile stare, whereas that’s all Winter has. Bucky is very focused on the moment, the present, the target right in front of him—the one posing a threat. Its why he gets caught by surprise several times in close combat in that scene. Buck is a sniper. He devotes everything to one point of a focus at a time. He pivots as such. His face shows microreactions as he takes in details of his surroundings one by one. He’s still very situationlly aware, but not simultaneously.
Winter /hunts/. His eyea don’t flicker everywhere and his body language and firing posture doesn’t shift a hundred times minutely like Bucky’s does because rather than focus with a sniper’s POV he sees the whole picture. He’s taking everything in at once. Hence the rhousand mile stare.They could not be more different.
Plus that fact that Bucky has good trigger discipline (you can see it in other gifs) and the WS has his finger clamped down over the trigger. He is ready to shoot to kill at ANY GIVEN SECOND, which Bucky is not.
