This lady, thank Lucifer for her take, embraces EVERYTHING inside of me for not ever seeing Endgame. No, I have not seen it. I didn't want to see it when I heard how Bucky literally bites the dust in Infinity War. I've been so disappointed in Marvel and this movie just seals the lid on the coffin.
I love my Bucky/Steve Bromance. I don't ship them romantically, but damn it, I do on a very intimate level because they ARE each other's souls. For the Russo's to treat their relationship like this... No, I will NEVER see this story arc. EVER. They shafted my boy, Bucky, and that is just all there is to it.
The above link will take you to an article about this entire scenario and there are SPOILERS to Endgame, so Marvel fans beware.
I've been heartbroken over many a bromance story line over my over 45 years of being in love with them. Starsky and Hutch the series back in the 70's had some major hiccups in scripts, Hercules and Iolaus's relationship in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys left a lot to be desired (enter fans who wrote fiction to correct things, I being one of them. Hi, I'm White Raven -- pleased to meet you.) Sam and Dean had some major, MAJOR hiccups in "Supernatural." And now my Bucky and Steve have fallen victim to homophobia in Hollywood. Producers trying to deter fans from 'shipping' their male characters. Well, fuck you, Marvel. You and the ships you rode in on.
I've often wondered why I don't get involved with Fandoms anymore. I used to be heavily involved with Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Magnificent Seven the TV series. (Again, White Raven, and for my Slash alter ego: Heartquest. Again, pleased to meet you.)
Now I know why. I am always heartbroken. I, as a fan of the bromance pairings in many a fandom, I never truly get the story I want. I never truly get my Happily Ever After between the bros. I get my heart broken every damn time because of Homophobia in Hollywood. HiH… a take on Hiccup. Yeah, Marvel... and to all productions who try to avoid fans from shipping their characters... get over yourselves. We're going to do it anyway, so just give the audience what they want, will you?
The above article embraces FULLY my feelings on this matter so I leave the link above for you to read, and remember: SPOILERS so... be warned.
No, I don't involve myself with fandoms anymore... because of this most recent and possibly most gut-wrenching Bromance to 'bite the dust'. I really love my Stucky... I loved the bond that was given to us in 'Winter Soldier' and solidified in 'Civil War' (but even THAT movie fell short in the reunion of the two. After all the hell Bucky had gone through, I wanted a more emotional impacting hug at least... nope. Didn't even get a few tears. I'll say it again: Fuck you, Marvel.)
So, when Infinity War came out, I'd heard just enough about it to not go see it. Friends of mine said later, "Don't." They know how much I love my boy, Bucky. And now... thanks to biting the bullet and looking for spoilers I will definitely NOT see 'Endgame.' Marvel lost a fan. I'll never see another one of their movies. EVER.
This is me, owning my right to be heartbroken because of how my Bros get dissed. There are exceptions, but sooo damn few and sooo damn far between.
My angry rant is over. I turn you back over to your lives. You can disagree with me all you want on this, but I will not slip quietly into the night, because I see brother-friendship stories as more my go-to source of passion in my life than Heterosexual romances. I feel them more. They are my heart, my soul... and I'm not going to apologize to anyone about why I'm so fucking pissed about this ordeal.

Long live #Stucky
