Why Bucky Didnt Kill Zemo In Sokovia

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Falcon & The Winter Soldier episode 5, “Truth”

In Marvel’s Falcon & The Winter Soldier episode 4, Baron Zemo managed to escape during the brawl, but Bucky chose not to kill him once he caught up to Zemo in Sokovia. The three-way fight broke out between Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes, who broke him out of prison, the Wakandans seeking to bring him in, and John Walker’s Captain America and his partner, Battlestar, who wanted to bring Zemo in, as well. Traveling to his home country of Sokovia after escaping, Zemo is eventually found by Bucky at the Sokovian memorial that was erected after Ultron’s attack, the inciting incident that put the Baron on his path to destroy the Avengers, breaking the team apart in Captain America: Civil War.

While teaming up with Zemo to bring down the Flag-Smashers, the former brainwashed HYDRA agent found himself in scenarios where he had to play at being the Winter Soldier when they were in Madripoor. Revisiting his dark past was a potentially compromising act, though not nearly as much as just being in Zemo’s general vicinity. Zemo believed that a piece of the Winter Soldier was still buried within Bucky despite Bucky’s mind having been freed with help from the Wakandans. Zemo manipulated Bucky and used his programmed trigger words in Civil War, but has been consistently still pushing Bucky and testing the former assassin to see if he’d fall back into darkness in the Disney+ series.

Likewise, Zemo has continually tried to appeal to Bucky’s darkness in regard to Karli Morgenthau and her Flag-Smashers, believing that the only way to stop her and her fellow Super Soldiers is to end them permanently. However, Bucky ultimately proves Zemo wrong about the Baron’s belief Bucky is still a murderer when he catches up to Zemo at the memorial. Putting a gun to Zemo’s head, it seemed as though Bucky was prepared to end Zemo’s life for all of his terrible crimes, both on global scale and done to Bucky personally. After pulling the trigger on what was actually an empty firearm, Bucky shows Zemo the bullets in his other hand, confirming that he had never even loaded the gun, indicating that his days as a killer and assassin are well and truly over.

It’s an incredible scene the communicates volumes about Bucky and his growth since he first started resisting HYDRA’s control at the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. He’s now his own man, free to make his own decisions and to forge a new path for himself (even one that someone like Zemo couldn’t predict). The Baron seemed prepared to die due to his confidence that Bucky would act as he expected, operating from a place of darkness that Bucky would never truly abandon and could never redeem. However, Bucky is prepared to do just that, and he’s now ready to make true amends in Steve Rogers’s notebook he’s been using to track the crimes he himself has to atone for.

With his life having been spared by Bucky, the Wakandans arrived to take Baron Zemo to the Raft, the super-prison built to house the most dangerous criminals in the world, and Bucky Barnes closed his latest encounter with Zemo in the best way possible. He refused to compromise his choice to be better than the assassin he once had no choice to be. While he still has work to do before he can put the nightmares of his Winter Soldier past behind him, Bucky Barnes is well on his way to doing so as Marvel’s Falcon & The Winter Soldier continues on Disney+.
