I am laughing so hard steve lands so lightly on his toes like a damn ballerina and bucky just drops like a ton of bricks on that car and fucking CRUSHES IT
So, in parkour, there is a practice of trying to land as quietly as possible. This is because landing lightly and softly absorbs the energy from the impact into the muscles as opposed to the bones where they may do some hard damage.
So, by landing lightly on his feet, Steve is employing good practice, showing training that works with his body, to get the most out of his super-soldierity.
However, the Winter Soldier lands harshly and without regard to the well being of his body. His objective is only the kill, and he will sacrifice his body and push through considerable pain to complete his mission.
That got sad real fast
just to highlight the difference between the winter soldier’s movements and bucky’s.
I swear to god the little details they put into this movie are insane on a subconscious level.
I’m gonna cry
*whispers* tell me again how you think he’s a villain and not a victim?
It wasn’t often Bucky
could get Steve to do it. Once in a
while, when Steve was feeling sentimental.
When it was dark and most folks were sleeping.
It wasn’t often, but once
in a while Bucky could get Steve to stand on his feet and dance with him;
taking slow, careful steps in the kitchen where the floorboards didn’t squeak
so much. He’d lean in close, one hand
holding one of Steve’s hands and the other around his waist, and his lips close
enough to Steve’s good ear so Bucky could sing only as loud as he needed to for
Steve to hear:
“Your eyes of blue, your kisses too.”
Steve’s hands tightened:
one in Bucky’s hand and the other in his shirt.
“I never knew what they could do.”
“Buck.” It was too dark for Bucky to see the blush on
Steve’s cheeks but Bucky could hear it in his tone. Not quite mumbled but directed at their feet.
Bucky removed his hand
from around Steve’s waist to tip Steve’s head up and catch his eyes, glinting
dim lamplight from the street. “I can’t believe that you’re in love with me.”
Steve’s eyes lit up and he
leaned in to speak against Bucky’s mouth: “Course I do, jerk.”
