i was reading a meta on how the yin/yang ideology related to the way heroes and villains are portrayed in films
and basically steve is clearly yang i mean bright/positive/active/overt
and bucky as the winter soldier is yin dark/negative/passive/hidden
the meta was actually about why girls and women tend to relate to characters like Bucky and Loki (who is also yin, btw), and that's because yin is associated with everything female as well (look it up, yang is good/male and yin is evil/female) (¬_¬ thanks for that ancient china)
In Winter Soldier, Bucky is clearly a victim, as well as an antagonist, and they created him as a victim by placing him in a position most commonly occupied by women
like the electrocution scene, he's half-naked, vacant and sitting down when everyone around him is standing, and the camera slowly pans up his naked abs. I don't think the filmmakers meant it, but like, wow the way they filmed Bucky was exactly the way most women in films are portrayed
and girls and women recognize that as "hey that character is somewhat feminine" and so we like those characters. We can relate to them.

i've explained it really badly, but if you want to read the meta, it's here

i like steve, but i cant really relate to him at all?? idk like i recognize that he's a great character but i just?? im not emotionally invested at all???

anyway

i read yin/yang and i was like "hells yeah imma make art outta that"

and im trying out art nouveau so theres that

This is really beautiful, and exactly as I view these characters. They're the perfect foils to each other.
