Cap’s past returns to haunt (and punch) him in the form of the Winter Soldier, a brainwashed HYDRA assassin. The stakes are personal for Cap when he uncovers the man trying to kill him is his former best friend, one of the many casualties of a war Cap never finished fighting. Saving Bucky’s soul almost cost Cap his life — a sacrifice that seemed worth it given that "Winter Soldier" invested more emotional stakes in this villain than audiences are used to seeing from MCU blockbusters.
