Differences in Physical Style

Can we all take a moment to notice the difference in their styles.

Here’s Steve with this great majestic kick into a standing position and then there’s Bucky.

Bucky is like he just got told to get out of his bed by his mum.

“Ugh why do I have to get up? What did I do to deserve this? Sure u flick up Steve like a dumb prancing pony whilst I crawl around in the dirt like a mealworm.”

It's true -- Captain America DOES have a very SHOWY physical style . . .

. . . while the Winter Soldier tends to rely more on sheer BRUTE FORCE.

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.

This is amazing.

But hey, they BOTH can produce an equally good SWAGGER -- "power couple, power walk."
