Summary
It had managed an interesting feat of propaganda that still polluted people's understanding of history, and now the people that had lived on the other side were fast approaching the final divide. No wonder Agent Coulson had thought a bit of 'old fashioned' was what was needed. Certainly taking down Hydra had been needed. Not that Steve thought they'd got everything. But backing it off this success, cutting it off from this overwhelming power had been important.
Let each hero tell their own tale, of the Winter Solder, of their fight, victory or defeat. Shadows lengthen as light fails and S.H.I.E.L.D. falls.

The exhibit is confusing. There's a picture captioned James "Bucky" Buchanan Barnes. There are also pictures of "Captain America" battling aliens in NYC streets. There are other photos, men dressed up in red, white and blue, that the exhibit say were fakes.
It says there were no photos of the original "Captain America". It says that propaganda had needed a male face, couldn't face a woman behind enemy lines.
"Bucky" had been a Howling Commando. The picture is from 1944. The man has a haunted look deep in his eyes. Captain America called him Bucky.
Confusing exhibit. Fractured like dreams. Bucky was a hero, lost in the war. The original Captain America was too.
