#bucky is not a damsel in distress he will always be steves protector in some ways

[lesbiradshaw]

the original draft version of the first avenger script is available online and as someone who is desperate for every crumb of mcu steve content i can get, here’s a list of some of the lines and moments i wish they had kept in the finalized version of the film.

1. steve saying both his parents were fighters (and he is too).

2. steve suggesting they go to church and bucky just going ‘hmmmm….no thanks’.

3. this is the one that makes me feel most insane: steve mentioning that sarah used to let him stand on her feet and dance with her in their apartment when he was small.

4. this line that validates my long-held headcanon that steve doesn’t actually know how to swim before the serum and only learns on the fly after.

5. the train/fall scene originally having bucky take the shield and jump in front of a shot meant for steve + steve actually being able to grab his hand and pull him in for a split second.

6. this explanation of the dynamic between steve and bucky of bucky always being steve’s lifeline/anchor and how that stayed the same even after the serum.

7. :(

#i love him so much GOD #the train/fall scene would have been sm more painful if we saw steve actually catch him for a second #like #man #and the wading in/all i had to do was hold him scene ? #ROBBED #IT EXPLAINS THEIR DYNAMIC SO WELL #AND PEOPLE ALWAYS GET IT WRONG BUT MAYBE THIS WOULD HAVE HELPED THEM SEE #bucky is not a damsel in distress he will always be steves protector in some ways #anyways #steve rogers #stucky #stevebucky
