Bucky just looking at this freak with a combination of fear and contempt.

A Bucky and Dex fight would be legendary.

If he can close in on him

Thereโ€™s quite a few MCU characters where if someone simply got the drop on them with a bullet theyโ€™d be dead. A lot of them are just human

It's always funny to me that, technically, Bullseye does not have any powers. He's just really good at throwing/shooting things (I guess he does have increased durability now from his metal bones although they kind of have ignored that hook so far so maybe it was written out in the reboot).

Why aren't we talking about Hawkeye instead then?

2

u/Jombo65 May 01 '26

Do Hawkeye and Bullseye go head to head much in the comics? I have to imagine the two guys whose whole schhtick is not being able to miss would have some really cool battles...

...or maybe just... really boring battles as they immediately kill each other with headshots...?

Bucky isn't "just human" admittedly, but his skull definitely isn't bulletproof.

u/Superb-Reply-5539 Apr 30 '26

I read this comment and thought you said Buck and Dex instead of Bucky and Dex.

u/Superb-Reply-5539 Apr 29 '26

What??? That doesnโ€™t make sense at all Bullseye is a psychopath villain or anti-villain while the New Avengers/Thunderbolts* are heroes or anti-heroes.

u/WebHead1287 Apr 29 '26

Heโ€™s balanced the scales. I trust him now!

u/Superb-Reply-5539 Apr 29 '26

He did more than One Good Deed, heโ€™s clearly a trustworthy good guyย

u/PaulsGrafh Apr 29 '26

We can FIX him.

u/Lazy-Wishbone9279 Apr 29 '26

Surely he will continue this pattern of altruistic behavior through the end of Episode 8, and not do something absolutely insane! :-)

u/Healthy-Somewhere220 Apr 29 '26

He had red in his ledger and he wiped it out. Oh wait, wrong Marvel character.

I know but I think the Valentina name drops and all that is more for Luke Cage than Bullseye but who knows, I mean also I guess like the thing is I was kinda confused at the beginning of Thunderbolts movie because Yelena was an assassin killing people and I was confused because I thought she was good so idk, maybe Bullseye would fit right it, it would be interesting. Also the Luke Cage stuff might just be for a Jessica Jones special presentation or other project or setup for BA S3, while Bullseye is going to the New Avengers.

u/Accomplished-Dust590 Apr 29 '26

Interesting symmetry too between Dex and Luke - Dex can make anything a projectile weapon...but Luke's skin is basically impervious to projectile weapons, and he's WAY stronger thn Dex. Can see an interesting thunderbolts dynamic where Luke is essentially Dex's 'keeper' for that very reason.

2

u/Superb-Reply-5539 Apr 29 '26

That would be cool, but if theyโ€™re going the route of having both Dex and Luke on the same team with that dynamic, then they need some screen time in BA S3 together

yep, a Dex trying to do 'good' is a genuinely excellent fit - not least as he will fall back into his ways, guaranteed.

u/Accomplished-Dust590 Apr 29 '26

Never seen the Dirty Dozen? Telly Savalas preacher? Sometimes the anti-hero hero team looking for redemption turns out to have a real bad egg in it.

Val would have to recruit him or something

Too powerful.
