i’m still emotional that commander rogers canonically sat down one day to assess tony stark and on the “cons” section he didn’t list all those stereotypes (selfish! arrogant! self-absorbed! doesn’t play well with others!) no went right into the heart of the thing pretty much like “he’ll fuck himself up HARD when he’s too stressed” like i’m just?? help me he cares about tony so much i’m so emotional
that’s would be like “the good the bad and the ugly“ xDDD
It’s amazing that some fictional characters can live their own life like that. In the hearts of real heroes. No stupid or cruel plot twists can change that.
@blessedharlot - a happy story to cheer both of us up. A young cancer patient beats his cancer using Captain America as his inspiration to never give up.
Excerpt:
Channeling his love for Captain America helped Landon conquer his toughest challenges.
There were times when I respected every pairing with Steve but some people in Steve/Bucky fandom made it impossible. Every pairing has its problems but they at least accept that Steve can have a character outside of romance. With stucky its impossible for Steve to be more then a horny teenager. No other motivation in his life - no freedom, no justice, no helping people, no real friendship. Everything in his life is about Bucky. Who could have thought that he was actually one of the greatest CB characters?
Okay but can we talk about the beautiful symmetry of the Captain America movies for a second
Steve picks up the shield and becomes Captain America because of Bucky
Steve lays down the shield and stops being Captain America because of Bucky
So, like, here’s the thing. Good people make mistakes. They get emotional and act selfishly, and that doesn’t take away from the good they’ve done. Steve Rogers and Tony Stark are both good people who’ve done bad things. Too many people in this fandom (and everywhere) refuse to see the flaws in their faves. They refuse to understand the motivations behind anybody who opposes their fave. I say “refuse” deliberately, because it requires willful ignorance to decide either of these men are bad people. Quite frankly, all that shit can stay about 7000 light years away from me. It is completely unwelcome here.
I have been having an argument with a friend and he says that Marvel is for guys, please help me prove to him that there are lots of women who like Marvel!
I have seen posts on tumblr crowing about how Suicide Squad is a testament to diversity in casting, while Doctor Strange is the most white-washed in Marvel history???
As a Muslim, and an Asian, I feel like I should challenge this notion. I feel like for Suicide Squad to be the standard in diversity, Karen Fukuhara should have been Captain Boomerang, instead of yet another sword wielding martial arts expert; Will Smith should have been Harley Quinn, instead of yet another smart mouth, bad ass, tough guy, weapons expert; and Margot Robbie should have been Deadshot, because we want to be in awe of how deadly she is with that custom AR-15, instead of how she looks in short shorts.
As for Doctor Strange being the most white-washed in Marvel history, Chiwetel Ejiofor is Baron Mordo, Benedict Wong is not playing a man servant, and Tilda Swinton is the Ancient One that nobody expected, because Marvel and long-time comic readers understand that the Ancient One is a title that is earned, and to earn this title one doesn’t have to be an old Asian man spewing words of wisdom. I think we’ve seen enough of that nonsense.
I think diversity should mean more than just casting people of color in movies and TV shows to play stereotypical roles, like the martial arts expert or perky comic relief, or the evil terrorist, or the tough talking gangster. I think it’s demeaning to these beautiful, talented actors, and the audience, that they’re not allowed the space and direction to do more, or show more.
Ah, Sarah Rogers. Love her too much for a character I’ve never seen on screen. This picture is so cute
Sarah Rogers deserves only good things

*adjusts glasses* I’m sorry, Mr. Evans, but it appears that your request to conclude your run as Steve Rogers has been denied due to *highlights portion of document* the lack of a legitimate Captain America 3 film. Please re-submit your request when said movie has been filmed and completed, thank you 👍🏻
