Bucky “making amends”
Upon rewatch, I’m finding this the most interesting development
Like WandaVision’s sitcoms trope, it starts as a gag but develops some serious weight
In Wanda’s case, we learn how the sitcom gimmick came out of a fairly painful memory
In Bucky’s case, the gag of “making amends” with the ex-Hydra senator sets up his much tougher task of telling a grieving father that his son was murdered by Bucky himself
It leaves me wondering how they plan to resolve that plot line, but the very notion of “making amends” is something most superhero media overlooks
Or in Wanda’s case, deliberately don’t address because (I believe) it makes more interesting to be son powerful AND morally questionable
