Following a reply to a comment left on a fan fiction, I have decided to put it to vote.
There are evidently lots of people out there unhappy with the current situation, but we only have 4 members. Thus, I am throwing the floor open. How can we sort this out?

I know I probably should have done this sooner, but this week has been kinda hetic and it honestly didn't cross my mind before. Please join virtualavengers to help us out. I apologise for the spelling error with Skrull. I used Word spell check on it, and it said it was alright. Unfortunately I forgot Skrull isn't reconised by Word. Sorry, Please don't kill me.

I think the idea behind the whole story though is to play off on the issues you've raised. Bucky isn't the same sort of Captain America (and in all fairness, he's really only on his first solo mission as the new Cap... so we haven't gotten to see him do a lot) but everyone expects him to be. The whole reason he became Cap is because that hero is supposed to be so iconic that someone needs to be him for the sake of the general mundane public. I like that Bucky has so much crap to deal with - having to come to terms with his past and the present that's been thrust upon him.

And I don't see it as the exact same costume. There are significant changes to the image of this new Cap. Because Bucky is a gruffer Cap, a Cap who would kill the enemy which a lot less regret. You're right that he's an anti-hero, but I like that. I like Brubaker's heavy story telling, especially since I'm someone who only recently got into comics so it allows me to really get to know the characters better. That could very well be colouring my perception of it all (being a comic noob), but I LIKE it, and I don't think Bucky's going to always be stuck in Steve's shadow. Right now he's just trying to bring all those parts of him together in order to hopefully find himself.

Though I do agree that the Winter Soldier get-up was nicer to look at. And he was a good villain.
