But he can't possibly be smart! Only the progs are allowed to be smart!
To be pure enough he must utterly destroy himself by breaking his contract in a useless symbolic gesture!
...sorry, mind that sarcasm puddle.
Honestly, as soon as you told me this theory of yours, when I looked at the situation with being open to the POSSIBILITY?
It matches up. Far better than "he's totally been a proggy retard this entire time and just now with an obvious dumpster fire is saying stupid things that will make people hate it."
Especially combined with the apparent attitude changes, even in a guy who's quite a good actor.
.... I wonder if part of why they're willing to destroy him like this is because he did such an outstanding job of being a functional, active veteran and good shipmate?
We're all supposed to be broken, after all.
(OK, I have no idea what the air force version of a shippy is, so I'm using the Navy term. Deal!)

Unfortunately, it wouldn't surprise me if that was part of it. Combine his being a Marvel fan and a conservative with it, and their punishing Mackie specifically would make a lot of sense. In F&WS they had him actively being a very UNhelpful shipmate, annoying an *ex-sniper* with the Redwing drone hovering around in Bucky's peripheral vision. By that point, Bucky's barely four years from being an active assassin. Motion in his peripheral is going to aggravate him worse than it would a regular vet. Sam is the guy who properly diagnosed Steve's morning run habit as partly a reflex because he can't sleep well in a civilian bed, and yet he's antagonizing the guy who has been an abused POW for 70 years?
Yeah, no bueno. That doesn't add up, either with the comics' characterization OR the prior movies' characterization. But Marvel/Disney still had him doing it.
"We're all supposed to be broken, after all."
They do love that message, don't they? Very suspicious that they have the man whose job is to put people back together suddenly be very good at breaking people - especially since Mackie seems laid back enough in real life he would be a good shipmate there, too....
(I have no idea what the Air Force version of shipmate is there, so I'll use Navy parlance as well! XD )
Yeah I got to admit, I attended a panel Anthony did at a con and... I like the dude too. Would definitely buy him a beer and chill with. I would love to see him get more work too.
I know there's been a lot of chatter about masculinity in hollywood and all. I think what bugs me is that you can find plenty of up and coming (or they were once upon a time) masculine guys who would be great film stars (MCU did it with the Chris's). Anthony I would name as one. I could give a whole suite from Supernatural.
But they're just not being given the chance or projects to really shine.
