No but can we talk about how the kid’s idea of a Rad Time, the way to spend their last day in the country, was basically a grown up science fair
Talk to me about Bucky being a huge nerd and lying on the floor with Steve listening to the radio for stories about flying cars and thinking about how close they are to that, poking through the paper for what new wild thing is breaking science this week
Bucky is a nerd fight me

Bucky is 100% a nerd. Not only did he spend his last night in the country trying to get a glimpse of a flying car, but when Steve asked him where they’re going, Bucky didn’t just tell him “we’re taking some girls to the World Exposition tonight.” No, it’s overly-dramatic: “The future!" 

And Bucky was the one watching excitedly and going "holy cow” while Steve sulked in the back.

I bet Bucky made Steve go with him to watch reruns of The Mark of Zorro and Robin Hood and The Black Pirate, the first full-length Technicolor film, and when Steve was sick Bucky would bring over his battered copies of Doc Savage and The Shadow and their favourite, Buck Rogers, and they’d listen to The Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet on the radio. Bucky would’ve bought Action Comics #1 with Superman on the cover and pretended it was for his younger siblings when Steve teased him about it.

Bucky looked at post-serum Steve, a real-life Doc Savage, and asked him, “but you’re keeping the outfit, right?" Because Bucky is a huge nerd.
