* This movie in general seems dead set on cementing the idea that Bucky is Steve's ''real'' love interest. Steve's loyalty and devotion to Bucky is arguably the biggest over-arching theme of his series of films. Nearly everything that Steve has done in ''The First Avenger'', ''The Winter Soldier'', and ''Civil War'' had Bucky as the main motivating factor in some way. In ''The First Avenger'', Bucky is what causes Steve to finally take initiative and join the war as a real soldier, with some encouragement from Peggy. In ''The Winter Soldier'', Steve allowed Bucky [[spoiler:to nearly beat him to death, without fighting back, because it was what Bucky seemed to have wanted]]. Here, it is established once and for all that Steve is willing to do ''anything'' for Bucky -- [[spoiler:to the point of splitting up the Avengers himself and becoming a fugitive, potentially ruining his legacy and reputation, just to protect him.]] That level of commitment is unnaturally high, surpassing even that of some HappilyMarried couples. On Bucky's end, it seems one of the main reasons why Bucky stayed away from Steve for so long is because he ''knows'' how far his best friend is willing to go for him, and that he doesn't want to cause Steve anymore pain. This is combined with the wracking guilt he has over [[spoiler:the crimes he committed as the Winter Soldier, and with it the belief that he simply isn't worth it, even though Steve sees differently. This eventually leads to his decision to go back into a cryo chamber until a way to safely remove his programming is found]]. With how much the universe seems intent on keeping them apart, Steve and Bucky's relationship starts to resemble as that of one between StarCrossedLovers.
* Zemo reveals that over the course of his plan he obsessed over the Avengers and followed them for a year. When he comes face-to-face with Cap the first thing he notices about him is "there's a bit of green in the blue of your eyes". [[StalkerWithACrush Talk about dedicated]].
* The final shot of the movie, pre-credits, is [[spoiler:Steve rescuing Sam from prison. Note that Sam's already smiling when he turns around, indicating he ''knows'' Steve's come for him]]. The knowing smile they share has been described as... less than heterosexual.
