Can we talk about how beautiful and healthy Bucky looks here and who we should thank for this?

From now on Ryan Coogler should be the only director to touch Bucky’s character. He didn’t have to give so much thought to this, since it was only a small post credit scene, but I guess he is just too good at his job to half ass anything.

Look at how careful he is with the light, the angle, the colors, every single detail in this shot is made to highlight Bucky’s peaceful state of mind, his vulnerability, his beauty inside and out and how kindness and care can uplift a person, doesn’t matter how damaged by life they were. He gives Bucky time to breathe and process before he speaks, to look around and contemplate, there’s no rush, the exchange between him and Shuri is short but it carries a lot of meaning and understanding. The choice for his hair was Ryan’s suggestion too and speaks volumes how he, as a director, is not afraid to demolish toxic masculinity and standards, the way he always portrays strong men in his movies with so much sensibility and vulnerability at the same time that he establishes how much strength it was required to get them to this point. 

A huge contrast compared to the Russos’ constant greasy & sweaty aesthetic for him after The Winter Soldier. 

What a visionary, he is truly one of the most talented directors of this generation and you can see it in every shot of any of his films.
