has anyone else noticed how bucky‘s ,death‘ falling from the train in Captain America: The First Avenger is a direct parallel to patroclus‘ death? bucky takes on his most beloved‘s armour, his shield, and dies. and his death then in turn is the catalyst for steve‘s character development from ,i don’t want to kill anyone‘ to becoming the first avenger. it’s the same as achilles‘ rage after he had originally decided to stop fighting the trojan war. bucky and steve are the 20th century patroclus and achilles.
