laporcupina:stevetopsbuckysbottom:thegeminisage:Winter Soldier’s Brainwashing & Cryo Concept Art by Christopher Ross (more at the link)THIS IS THE MOST TERRIBLE THING I HAVE EVER SEENWhat if there were multiple types of chairs/cryo tanks? I have seen fics mention this possibility a few times. Definitely this confirms the idea that drugs were involved, and those pads in the fifth picture look a lot like what we saw in canon, but what’s with the stuff over his eyes? Were they inducing seizures, playing brainwashing footage, or was it one of those looping animations like they use for Hydra brainwashing in Agents of SHIELD? Someone smarter than me is gonna have to dissect the warning labels on the machines and images on the computer screens. ALSO it’s pretty interesting that they were considering having machines work on his arm instead of using any people at all. Perhaps they thought it was too dangerous for people to get close to it, and they used a tech in the scene we saw because they didn’t have the chair that could do it for them, and, and…/patiently waits for fic and art (via @thegeminisage)I’ve written a version of the ‘the Winter Soldier kills techs on a regular basis’ thing before, but I admit I’m also planning on using the chair/projector in the WIP, with the answer being both “brainwashing” and “catching the Winter Soldier up.” The Winter Soldier, like Captain America, can process information at a faster pace than us mere mortals. He will also need to, essentially, get his firmware and software updates every time they get him out of cryo – he needs to be caught up on everything from history and technology and weapons to more minor-seeming things like fashion and culture. He was not a bullet they fired from point-blank range, he was a smart bomb they deployed from a distance and he needed to be able to function – and adapt – in any environment they dropped him into. Pulling a Clockwork Orange on him was probably the most efficient way to set him up to do just that. -- source link
