I'm seeing mcu bucky fans genuinely upset bc they now think they got his characterisation 'wrong'? This breaks my heart. No my loves, you did nothing wrong. Canon can AND WILL flip on a dime when it suits them with different writers. Even comics are the same! Please dont worry.
One writer's take in canon is exactly that; one writer's take.
Long term franchise fans and comic fans are used to this. Different interpretations happen (and if you don't like them that's ok too).
I would urge you to check out some comic bucky runs, there's quite a few Bucky's!

Canon always does this, it sucks sometimes. I've just gone thru this with Batman; for ages this 1 writer fucked up everything I ever loved about Batfamily, everyone seemed to praise him. I stopped reading the comics! I wouldve rather poked my eyes out. Then a new writer took over
And long suddenly the shift, everything restored or adapted to how I liked it. Clearly my views aligned with this writer better.
You see? Just because 1 writer/1 run isn't your cup of tea, it isn't over. The franchise will never stop producing more content down the road.

I'm going to rec some bucky barnes comics for you to read. I'll start with my favourite EVER, it is a oneshot so you buy just 1 issue: A year of Marvels JULY (2016) the cover may look like this, or may also have half Bucky and half IM too. It's a split issue.
This issue has the Bucky story in the 2nd half. It's Bucky vs. Hydra goons, it's funny, interesting, and has flashbacks to Steve as Cap. If you're a stucky fan I recommend it. The art is BEAUTIFUL, even Hydra look fun (check out their skull guns!) But most of all: happy ending!
Ok next, the recent STRIKEFORCE run. It starts off with Avengers like Steve (Cap) and Carol discovering their faves (Bucky and Spiderwoman) in a spot of bother, along with a team (Wiccan, Monica Rambeau, Angela of Asgard, Blade)
IT'S SO GOOD. And it's funny!

(STRIKEFORCE) I loved this Bucky Barnes. He's a perfect blend of dramatic, sassy, flirty Bucky with a hint of recovery in there too.
This run isnt that long (9 issues?) It was cut short. I'm hoping a collected edition comes out next year bc I'll be all over that.

Next, 2019's Invaders run. (Invaders was Steve and Bucky's OG WWII team. The Howling Commandos was Fury's.) This run has basically Namor being a pain so there's alot of Atlantis stuff, Steve and Bucky in mermaid tanks. And Bucky posing like a sexy Bond Girl whenever possible 
Invaders is a good choice if you want to read recent stevebucky. Steve defends Bucky from Namor and from Tony, because of course he does.
If you want to check out the volumes online, search "Invaders 2019" and read the collected volumes.
