Best comic book movie moments: 62. Who the hell is Bucky?
Comic book movie: Captain America: The Winter Soldier
In the Marvel Comics Captain America by Ed Braubaker, Steve Rogers finding out Bucky was alive was shocking. Bucky was one of the few characters that was supposed to remain dead. Finding out he was alive shocked everyone. In the movie, the scene was cool because it was right out of the comics. However, if you’re a comic book fan, you already knew who he was.
Honestly, knowing who he was took the emotion out of the reveal. It’s doubtful that anyone was shocked. If you knew a comic book fan or googled who he was, you knew the Winter Soldier was Bucky. If this was more of a surprise, it would have been ranked higher.
