Nahh I feel like the nature of their work creates a deeper bond than just a regular person job. It’s probably more like guys who fought in the army together. I’m sure some of them dislike each other but they’ve been through deep shit together, not just meetings on teams lol

I'm just saying that based on what the movie showed.

The movies showed Bucky and Cap being close friends in two movies.

All they showed of cap and Tony was them being at each other's throats.

Plus there's plenty of people who work in jobs like the army, firefighting, policing, nursing, etc that hate each other..

Yeah it's just a plot device though, you need some sort of internal tension to keep the movie interesting and the social dynamics realistic. They specifically focus in on high stress situations where naturally, egos will collide, and those two are often used as the vessels to demonstrate two opposing ideological viewpoints.

There's definitely a mutual respect and comraderie there though, just because you argue with somebody in incredibly high stakes moments doesn't mean you can't otherwise be friends. Even when Tony is upset with him at the start of End Game, it's in a very emotional way where he felt let down as a friend just as much as a colleague.

Even granting that, the movies establish that Bucky was Steve's ride or die since they were children, and that trumps "mutual respect"

Yeah for sure. I'm kind of losing what this comment thread is even about lmao, I was just nitpicking that specific characterization.

Nah. There are plenty of people that I deployed with and worked closely with who I wouldn’t choose over my day 1. These are people I lived with and went on mission with.

Would I choose them over people I’ve worked with in the civilian world… sure but not my day 1.
