Reminder that Steve Rogers was born in 1920, and Bucky Barnes was born in 1917, which means that Steve was in his early twenties during the war, and Bucky was in his mid twenties. I know that theyāre both portrayed by 30 year old men, but really? They probably looked more like these guys:
Donāt forget that Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes had to grow up way too fast, not only because of the war, but because they were teenagers in the Great Depression, they were part of an extremely marginalized group during a time of extreme tension, and the whole dead parents thing. Donāt forget that Steve and Bucky probably never got to do dumb teenager things because they both had to do whatever work they could to stay afloat and then a WAR happened.Ā
Think about all that pressure once Steve was āCaptain Americaā and became a propaganda piece. Think about the atrocities of war that theyād have seen. Think about the fact that they both faced death. Think about the fact that Steveās best friend died. THINK ABOUT HOW THESE KIDS ARE NOW SUDDENLY 95+ YEARS OLD. Think about Bucky, waking up and technically being maybe 27 and having to reconcile all the things HYDRA made him do as the Winter Soldier.
Peggy Carter was born in 1919. She is only a year older than Steve. Sheās still in her twenties during Agent Carter, yāall. Let that sink in for a moment. Sheās still in her twenties.
That flashback scene in The Winter Soldier with the āIām with ya till the end of the lineā? They were teenagers then. TEENAGERS.Ā
REMINDER THAT THE MAIN CHARACTERS OF CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGERS WERE ALL CHILDREN.
