wanda maximoff: never has to own up to working for hydra, manipulating every member of the avengers, or triggering the hulk into destroying a civilian city under her control, joining alongside ultron until she does one good thing, essentially being the cause of all the death and destruction in aou, and eventually not being able to control her powers in lagos that she previously had total control over, which resulted in deaths upon deaths, and also gets to watch the hulk take all the burn and blame for the city she made him destroy

tony stark: literally is held accountable for every single action made by himself along with maximoff and every other avenger, tries his hardest to work alongside ross and 117 countries that all demand superhero registration through the accords as voted for in the UN, despite knowing how much a lot of his team would reject such idea

wanda maximoff: is just a 26 year old kid!

tony stark: is a villain for trying to find a middle ground between selfish team members who refused to be held accountable for being dangerous people and the 117 countries around the world that want them to be held accountable since they’re all powerful & dangerous people (a lot of which have bad histories, see: wanda) who shouldnt be allowed to just freely use their powers when they clearly pose to be a potential threat to the public

everyone else: gets to do shit

tony stark: is a villain for doing similar shit while also being the only one who fucking cares

Host: Welcome to Red Lobster, how many?

Eddie: Just one and ah can I be seated in the lobster tank please? Oh and I'll order two lobster.

Venom: I want mines alive.

Eddie: Cook one lobster and leave the second one alive please.

Host:???????

“No,” Eddie scolded.

Food.

“And I’ll get you your food. Just not that.” He pointed to the garbage in front of him. Even the smell was beginning to make Eddie nauseous. “Seriously? I can get you frozen dinner.”

We don’t like it.

“Why?”

Because you don’t like it, Venom countered. Why are we going to eat something you don’t like?

“Because it’s more edible than rotten food!” Eddie exclaimed, which was a mistake, as passersby stared at him with wariness. He muttered, “I’ll get you something better. What do you feel like having?”

Dog—

“No animals,” he added.

Fine. Venom pondered. Noodles.

“Noodles?” Eddie blinked.

You are fond of noodles, are you not? There was a hint of annoyance in his tone—which was really uncalled for. 

“Okay, okay. We’ll have Chinese for dinner. Nothing frozen.”

And no soy sauce. It’s salty!

Eddie chuckled, and finally moved away from the garbage since Venom had controlled of him momentarily. Man, he was a pushover. But only for Venom.

T'Challa: I never freeze

Okoye & Shuri:

Venom: Goodbye Eddie…

Eddie: NO!! VENOM!!!!

my best friend, in the theatre, fucking destroyed: Oh. It was a love story.

Avengers Endgame behind the scenes (2019)

Why they should have kept THAT deleted scene in Endgame:

So this deleted scene has been going around from Endgame and it makes me wonder… Why didn’t the Russos put it in? Well, none of are going to know that for sure, but I can give my opinion on why the deleted scene should have stayed and possibly even replaced the funeral scene.

I think most people can agree that the deleted scene after the battle and funeral scene are very similar, like, scarily similar. They both begin with a close-up of Tony, then to Pepper, and then finally pans across all the other Avengers, giving each one of them a moment of recognition. I think even the music is the same in both.

But what makes them different? To me, the difference is all in the uniform. Everyone in the deleted scene is in their superhero garb, as opposed to black dress wear. Why does this matter?

Think of how many times you see a hero fall to their knees.

There is so much emotional baggage packed into the simple movement, and showing that posture while also having each Avenger in their uniform just emboldens that emotional impact even further. These are heroes, the strongest group of people in the universe congregating together on one battlefield, and they have all fallen to their knees. Even after winning, they’ve all been defeated.

Not only that, but they don’t get back up. We never see them stand. The camera pulls away then fades to black, leaving us with an image of the Avengers, smaller than they’ve ever been before, all because of one life lost.

These simple things: the uniforms, the falling to the knees, the setting of the battlefield… They all carry so much more emotional weight than any funeral scene could. We’ve scene funeral scenes before, hundreds of times, but it’s so very rare we see our favorite superheroes drop to their knees and don’t get back up.

Tony Stark’s death is a defeat in their eyes. They may have won, but they lost so much more. We lost so much more. We’d do exactly the same if we were on that battlefield. We fall on to our knees to mourn our losses, to represent our defeats.

This scene was the perfect, emotional send-off we needed.

It’s September 1st. It’s Halloween. I don’t make the rules.
