The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is officially in the books, and its six episodes brought some major new developments in the stories of Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan). In addition to some massive leaps for each character’s superhero tenure in the MCU, the series offered a domestic look at their civilian lives. Given the fact that some fans have been clamoring to see moments like that in the MCU for years, they definitely launched a number of additional fan theories and speculation as the series marched along. Among those was a theory from the series’ first episode, in which Bucky laments about the number of “tiger photos” he saw while trying to navigate dating sites. Some fans took the line to be long-awaited confirmation that Bucky is bisexual, as men usually post photos of themselves alongside tigers on social media, but according to series director Kari Skogland, that wasn’t the case.
