Hello friends it’s 5am and I want to talk about a few things: Jewish Bucky, Steve the golem, and the importance of Sam and Bucky’s dynamic. This is gonna get long so I’ll put a cut in at some point
okay so Bucky in the MCU is based off two characters, Bucky Barnes, Captain America’s sidekick and Arnie Roth, Steve Rogers’ childhood best friend who saved him from bullies growing up. Arnie is gay and Jewish (Roth is a very typical Jewish name without being a stereotype). Remember these characters were all originally created by Jews and names are very important in Jewish culture. Now, Steve is a character who was metatextually created by Jewish writers to fight the Nazis (and therefore protect the Jewish people). A golem is a being created from clay to protect the Jews in times of trouble. There’s a whole extra thing about truth and death that i can get into at another point BUT that’s not super important right now because Steve is a different kind of golem.
