[Movies] Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Wings look nice, but I'm a bit tired of the generic costumes for the normals...
They've pretty much used the Ultimate universe costumes on everyone so far, so the covert ops style Falcon makes sense. Thankfully, they avoided my-body-is-a-brain Stark and his super-ugly suit.
Why the hell did it look like a goddamn gorilla?
That's not even at its worst, that one's got normal eyes instead of big circles. O_O
Still not sure how they are going to pull off the whole Bucky thing. It made sense when Bucky was a teen sidekick, how he was captured by the Soviet Union and turned into the Winter Soldier over years of conditioning. It made it dramatic because you saw that all the while Captain America was frozen, his sidekick grew to be a dangerous killer now on equal footing as him, and due to the freezing, they were now near the same "age"
The Bucky in the movie though isn't represented as a teen, and is instead the same age as Captain America. They are going to have to pull something big out of their ass to give him enough time to become a skilled assassin without making him look old compared to the Cap.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do some kind of super soldiery serum for him and claim it slows his aging or something.
That, or claim he was frozen and then brought back to life with some kooky super-tech. But the serum equivalent is more likely, IMO.
The only issue I have with him being frozen is due to how he "died", it made sense for Captain America to freeze into an icicle since he crashed the plane into one of the coldest locations in the world, one that is not likely to heat up. Bucky died by falling off a train somewhere in Europe in the movie continuity, so that does not really lend to him also being frozen. Unless that mountain range the train was running through has really cold summers.
That could work. He's trained but then the war's over, so he's frozen. Russia gets scared when they hear about the Avengers, unfreeze him. This Avengers fear could even set up Crimson Dynamo for real instead of that weird Whiplash/CD lovechild we got in Iron Man 2.
You just reminded me, I hope they reference Ivan Vanko, or at least his father Anton, as one of the makers of Winter Soldiers cybernetic arm. Even though that is not true in the comics I think it would be a good cinematic universe reference.
That's the explanation in the comics, too.
I always remember the fact that both Captain America and Bucky were frozen, which lead to them separating and meeting again in the future. However I do forget the fact they would freeze Winter Soldier between missions, thus why he is still "young" rather then an aging old man in that continuity too. Guess I needed a refresher.
Still... it's going to be weird having a Bucky that is supposed to be physically older then Cap. Even just a few months here and there for training and missions can add up over 60 years.

NICE! a T-Shirt Gun...
Technically, I suppose it is. Though, it's hard to imagine that there are that many people on Halforums that aren't already aware of it.
I was talking about it earlier so if it was considered one, I kind of already screwed it.
I have no idea what a winter soldier is, I just want to see another Captain America movie
Man, the corny one from the Avengers looked better. I'd prefer the one from the first movie even more.

Could not disagree more. The Avengers costume was terrible in my opinion, that new one is a marked improvement.
Spoiler: Captain America fights a guy called The Winter Soldier.
