Trying so hard to ignore all Marvel stuff, but is there a reason some people are assuming the Bucky arm thing is a We Don't Trust You Kill-Switch and not just the normal way to pop off the prosthetic for regular cleaning and maintenance?

It's because Bucky is in a state of shock afterwards and says he didn't know what Ayo just did was possible

You could interpret this either explicitly as a "hidden kill switch", or that this is a normal way to take the arm off for maintenance but the mechanism is supposed to be impossible to engage while the arm is in use and doing it in combat requires godlike reflexes

I mean, it seems like a pretty obvious design flaw to put a removal switch in a place where it's easily accessible to other people in the middle of a fight. The only possible use for something like that is if you want to be able to disable the user.

The key point is whatever Ayo did is something Bucky explicitly says he didn't think was possible He thought the Wakandans giving him the new arm was a great sign of trust and healing and now that's been tainted

He can cry to someone who cares, HE betrayed THEM.

Except he didn't, did he? It's clear they never trusted him in the first place, if they installed that switch. Everything was based on helping him so long as he was *useful* to them, and revoked the instant they decided he was a hinderance.

Bucky spent years in Wakanda getting free therapy and a quiet life that was rent free. As far as I know he was the only non Wakandan living there. He absolutely betrayed. Hell T'Challa tried to kill him at one point. He knew freeing Zemo would anger them.

If someone never actually trusted you in the first place--- Then you can't really actually have betrayed them.

Of course, if we want to play the game of "and he did a bad thing so he deserved it", the guy Zemo killed traveled to another country to kidnap his brother, then killed him in the scuffle that occured when he resisted said extrajudicial kidnapping, and told absolutely no one.

I dunno you can call it "extrajudicial", he was arresting an intelligence operative who had gone rogue N'Jobu certainly hadn't (and wouldn't) formally defected to the United States and put himself under its protection
