BUCKY BARNS
for those of you who don't know bucky Barns was captain Americas lil brother In arms during WW2 (think robin with A bit more fashion sense). the heroically named "Bucky" was created by Joe Simon and Jack "the king" Kirby in 1941 he was killed trying to to defuse the bomb the evil Baron zemo had lunched at the good guys, this was the same blast sent cap flying into the freezing waters of the North Atlantic.
as you know the magic waters of the North Atlantic are so cold that if you get tossed in you will flash freeze and be preserved in suspended animation (like ice tupperware ware) . the capsical floated around for till the Avengers found him decades later in a block of ice.
Ms barns favorite son was not so lucky and was just plain ol blownuped.
Bucky's death had been notable as one of the few comic book deaths that the dead folk in question stayed dead,
that was until recently when he was brought back In a story that climaxed with CAPTAIN AMRICA dying !!!!!! now why the writers thought we were going to be worried about Caps demise when they didn't even have the gumption to keep his kid side kick dead is beyond me .
but they brought him back and made him the new cap. but now the real cap is back and awwwww who cares really. not me. not even a little.. ok I care a little I still by the Book but l.....well lets get back to the kid i have no idea who he is
You might have seen this up and comer on Gossip Girl or the briefly-aired show Kings on NBC.....
I have no clue what any of that is but I'm sure it's all very good
so guess Stan has signed on for five films, this could mean a couple of things
this could mean the cap films will all take place in WW2. or it could be that we will see stan take a shot at buckys Winter Solider persona
this will give stan the opportunity to really show his chops and a great deal of range. A crazy Russian General Vasily Karpov found Bucky in the Magic suspended animation ocean and rebuilt him into a cold war 16 million dollar man.
it is a huge leap from bright eyed gee whizz side kick to cold blooded terminator like hit man it's the type of character arc careers are built on. it may also just be a case of him appearing in flash back sequences.
at any rate Im getting pretty excited for this flick. one would think we could hear who the bad guy is and what bad guy he will be playing (let's go red skull clap clap clap let's go red skull clap clap clap let's go red skull clap clap clap ) any day now
stay tuned for more info as i get it
but hold on.....
as all these super hero casting revelations come down the pike It has become very apparent that i don't watch enough teen drama because i don't know who any of these fucking people are. i was equally baffled when the excitement rose over WATCHMEN casting I heard that at the comiccon announcement folks went ape shit but I had no clue who any one other then the bad kid in the 'bad news bears" was
perhaps I read too many comics and don't watch enough movies and TV.
or I may just not give a fuck.
But i fell i have an advantage . because for me Thor will be Thor and not the guy from X thing or Y thing and thats the way i'd really like it to be at the end of the day
