wintercyan:[Meta-post on Steve’s body count in MCU.]Thank you, nicocoer! Pop culture media’s (especially comics’) opinion on killing is extremely fascinating to me. It’s true that in Captain America vol. 5 #5 (2005) we see Bucky retconned as a wetworks operative keeping Cap’s hands squeaky clean for propaganda purposes (Colonel Philips tells Steve that “just like Captain America has symbolic value, an American teenager fighting alongside him, that’s a powerful symbol too. And if he gets his hands a little dirtier than most soldiers when no one’s looking … well, that’ll be our secret, right?”)That’s pretty gruesome, honestly.
