Captain America: Civil War (2016)

#what i like about this choreography is probably accidental but #bucky is just. going. he’s just getting in as many hits as he can as fluidly as he can #with the additional imperative of getting the shield to steve #bucky ACCEPTS the shield as part of the fluid motion of his style; steve WAITS to throw it to him until he’s on the backswing to catch it #steve waits a lot in this scene. he waits until bucky’s repositioned; has caught or thrown the shield; got his shot in #steve is at this point mostly support for bucky. he loses initiative more than once just in this clip whereas bucky never does #steve does get a few solid shots in! but he’s pretty turn-based here. he’s just filling the gaps bucky can’t #it may be a fatigue thing; bucky’s additional ‘get shield to steve’ imperative is his own awareness that bucky has a built-in weapon #and steve does not. steve’s probably blocked more shots with his body at this point and just needs a breather here and there #regardless of the reason for bucky’s fluidity here versus steve’s stop-and-start is that #bucky jumped back into this fight when he could have escaped. this is after steve dragged tony all the fuckin way back down to the bottom #and bucky jumped after with the shield (get shield to steve) for no reason except protection #and assistance. and yet it’s bucky who’s working his shit out here the most #taking in sebstan’s “you tell a bully what you want to hear sometimes” meta and it’s like… bucky is here to help steve in the fight #they read each other so well even now that their styles have evolved so much #but once he’s in a fight bucky dominates momentum-wise. his energy is a lot more brute force than steve’s but #he’s going for it. maybe fuelled by anger or maybe old alleyway protectiveness kicking in again. fight or the cost is high. #meta du jour i guess. this scene is what got me into this ship so. here we are. thanks for reading (via newsbypostcard)
