kittyseb: From the Captain America: Civil War Artbook One of the most interesting parts for me was this explanation of Bucky’s containment chamber. “I wanted these units to feel like he’s an animal–caught in a trap–and even with all his strength, he wouldn’t be able to escape.” “The Winter Soldier is arguably the most dangerous criminal in the world, and this chamber really mirrors his intensity. With his metal arm, the necessary steps needed for containing him needed to be extreme. We created an electric pulse, administered by the chair, that would go through him every so often and keep him from using the arm. You couldn’t just have him in a really strong chair with manacles because he’s far stronger than that. The idea that the chair needs to be powered to keep Bucky at bay also plays into the story: When the power gets cut, the electric pulses stop, and suddenly he has the potential to escape.” “Bucky is held in place by some hefty clamps that deliver a nice electrical charge to keep him still.” You can read the rest yourself. But, this part makes me sick honestly, Bucky’s been tortured by electricity at the hands of Hydra for decades, his mind wiped by electric currents zapping through his head. And the FIRST thing the supposed “good law enforcement” does when they capture him is use electricity to subdue him to make sure he can’t escape. They are, essentially, torturing him. It was in the name of “containment” but I feel like constantly zapping him with electricity is still torture. -- source link
