Why Be Bucky
Jul. 10th, 2014 06:51 amI have a thing for dark heroes (or anti-heroes, whatever).
So currently I am completely all about Bucky. Prior, I was all about Loki for a good while (I'm hoping to write a novel for NaNoWriMo this year, going back to the mythological roots of Loki and casting him as a force in the modern world--we'll see how it goes. Kind of a sequel to my faerie novel, which is pretty cool actually). And of course if you read this journal at all you must know about my love affairs with Nine (who, with Ten, is a sad, dark Doctor) and Dean Winchester (poster boy for sad, bad boy Heroes everywhere).
I am planning on cosplaying Bucky for Halloween. Part of it I guess is just the incredibly striking visual image of his metal arm and his black on black on black armor. In real life I am not into guns (theoretically I would like to know how to shoot in order to hunt for game; deerhunting is a big part of the culture I grew up in -- but I've never really taken action to learn to shoot and have only actually gone hunting once.) So I'm experiencing some cognitive dissonance with my own desire to dress as Bucky, because he is bristling with guns.
I really love Bucky's emo face. I love his hair that falls down in a messy curtain around his sad, confused, angry eyes. I love his killer stride. And I could watch the big hand-to-hand fight a million more times, great fight choreography is really beautiful to me, and the choreography throughout CATWS is stellar. I think of Bucky as a dancer and I see the Winter Soldier as seeing his fight with Steve as a dance. (It's interesting, because he dances beautifully with Nick Fury's suv as well, but not so much with Natasha. He takes a lot of shots at her but doesn't engage in hand to hand, even though she jumps onto his head.)( more rambles about Bucky )
