20 Things You Somehow Missed In Captain America: Civil War
20. Homecoming
The beginning of Captain America: Civil War showed just exactly how HYDRA was able to take over the mind of Bucky Barnes. A series of certain code words, spoken in Russian, in a specific order, allowed whoever spoke them to have total control of the Winter Soldier.
"Longing, rusted, furnace, daybreak, seventeen, benign, nine, homecoming, one, freight car."
On the face of it, they seem to be words chosen at random, but there is one word in there that is simply impossible to ignore. MCU fans will immediately recognise Homecoming as the first of the Tom Holland-fronted Spider-Man trilogy, and it is no coincidence that the word was a part of Bucky’s trigger.
That first MCU Spidey movie had been officially announced just a month before the release of Civil War, and this was clearly a little brainwashing of the MCU fans in a different way.
