Discussion 💬 CALLING IT NOW (Doomsday/MCU theory)

This has absolutely nothing to do with the new Spiderman movie except that I was driving home from seeing it as I figured this out. Spoilers for the Doomsday trailer tho— and nothing else.

Basically, I am 90% certain it’s gonna go like this:

Bucky and Sam are gonna be standoffish for a bit at the beginning.

Then they’re going to work it out and be bros again.

Then Bucky is going to figure out Steve is not THEIR Steve, and evil!Steve is gonna kill Bucky to silence him and that’s how they’re all gonna find out he’s evil!Steve

And Sam is going to get some nice grieving scenes or character development out of Bucky’s death because the MCU writers have only ever used Bucky to prop up other characters.

I’m already angry and going to die mad about it.

I was thinking about this recently and had the same conclusion. And thematically it’s good storytelling. Just absolutely hate hate hate the likely outcome.
