Omg the chicken gifset u just reblogged and bob’s face/body language when alexei grabs him to speak sternly in his face…

godddd yeah now that you pointed it out i can't stop watching it. full disclosure i went to a training today abt emotional development and now i'm in such a whumpy mood and i'm gonna just ramble. so. bob is running and then alexei grabs him and he freezes. not because alexei is holding him still but because it completely jolts him. i say that because you can see when alexei lets go and turns, bob's hand remains in the same place and it's still there when he screams. he doesn't just stop because alexei is restraining him, he goes into full fight or flight mode and freezes. his face stops. his hands stop. he completely shuts down. even when the chicken runs at him, he shields himself but stays put. and the way he tenses??? like obviously he's already scared shitless but when alexei grabs him he tenses so bad his shoulders are at his ears.

i'm actually so grateful to have an excuse to stare at the scene in slow motion because it reinforces my headcanon that bob's fight or flight response is freeze (and if you want extra angst, he really, really hates that that is his instinct). in my mind this is because he learned at a young age (probably under 4 years old) that the "best" thing to do was stop fighting and take the abuse from his dad. probably because it was over sooner or "not as bad" if he just let it happen. rather than try to keep running or even fight alexei's grasp, bob completely gives in because that's what he's been conditioned to do since childhood. i'd go so far as to say there's an element of dissociation here because of how aggressively bob freezes and the fact that he doesn't respond to alexei at all until the chicken hits alexei with the sign. but what's really killing me is his hands!! his hands barely move at all after alexei grabs him!!

his left hand does some floating but his right hand really doesn't move. and what's really interesting is that he kind of looks like he wants to help alexei after he gets hit but he can't bring himself to unclench his fists so he doesn't. now going back to my point about bob's fight or flight response, i think his natural or born instinct leans toward flight. he tries to run in the vault. he tries to put distance between himself and valentina. he runs from the incinerator. but when alexei grabs him it puts him into this state of overwhelming fear that just completely shuts his body down. and it's hard to tell because of the way the scene is cut but can i add also that HE DOES THE SAME THING WITH HIS DAD.

in the first shot bob is steps in front of the wall. then it cuts to his dad for a few seconds and when we see bob again, he's fully tensed in on himself and backing up behind the wall. from this extreme over-analysis into what probably means nothing, i conclude that as a child bob would try to run and hide from his dad but ultimately froze and covered his face the best he could while he took whatever abuse his dad forced him to endure that day. thank you for coming to my bob ted talk.

now before you go i must also add that bob doesn't remember alexei doing that in the void but do you think alexei remembers? he doesn't look like he cares about bob's reaction so i think this is an issue that the whole team would have to learn about later. bob is not okay with being touched unexpectedly. bob is not okay with being restrained in any capacity. i like to think he's okay with touch when he can see it (for example yelena grabbing his arm at the end of the movie when she's in full view of him) but if someone touches him when he's not looking it can be a huge trigger. and because we love the whump here imagine they only found that out upon triggering a panic attack. yeah. good hurt 💔

Thoughts on John Walker

No one in my real life wants to listen to me talk about Marvel, but I need to get this out.

Since Thunderbolts* came out, I've noticed people being a lot more empathetic towards John Walker than they were originally, so I feel the need to remind you all: John's role as "The New Captain America" was inherently racist.

Despite Steve having personally handed the shield over to Sam, Sam was encouraged to give it up to the federal government. He did so under the illusion that the government shared his desire to preserve Steve's legacy and memorialize the image of Captain America. Instead, the government immediately handed the shield over to John.

This decision was clearly inherently racist. Steve had chosen Sam to take up the mantle of Captain America, but the government decided that a Black man wasn't fit for that position, so instead they completely disregarded Steve's decision, and found another white blond man to fill the role.

There is no explanation for this decision other than racism. John was nowhere near qualified to be Captain America. Sure, he had an impressive military background, but that's not what it means to be Captain America. That's the whole point of the first movie. Steve was chosen to be Cap because he was "Not a perfect soldier, but a good man." John was a perfect soldier, but he was never a good man. There is plenty of evidence of his moral shortcomings, but the most glaring point is that a good man wouldn't have accepted the role of Captain America after it was taken away from Sam. A good man would have recognized the racist grounds behind the confiscation of the shield, and would have refused to use Sam's loss for his own professional gain. A good man wouldn't have willingly reaped the benefits of the racist system that rejected Sam as Captain America. A good man wouldn't have used his best friend to help that racist system keep up its image of diversity (always having a white Captain America with a Black sidekick) while it actually rejected any kind of real development for Black Americans.

That's why John could never be Captain America, and that's why, when he was given the shield, he immediately disgraced the legacy of Captain America by using it to kill a SURRENDERING flag smasher (I will never get over this). He was never a good man. Do I think he was a villain? Of course not. But we as the audience need to recognize how much damage he had willingly caused. He can't be a superhero, because was never motivated by the greater good. John has always been driven solely by his own self interest, and he will likely continue to hurt people to get his way.

[captainpikeachu]

The government making a racist decision does not somehow mean John himself is racist or that he isn't allowed to be shown any empathy.

Firstly, Sam himself decided to give up the shield, the government may have agreed with Sam's decision after the fact but this was a decision Sam himself made on his own terms due to his own feelings. Saying that the government encouraged Sam to give it up, which we have no proof of, is to ignore Sam's own agency and feelings, which he repeatedly expressed to everyone else.

but the most glaring point is that a good man wouldn't have accepted the role of Captain America after it was taken away from Sam. A good man would have recognized the racist grounds behind the confiscation of the shield, and would have refused to use Sam's loss for his own professional gain.

Again, Sam gave up the shield, nobody took it away from him. Sam CHOSE to give it up, he made a whole speech about it, even Bucky was speaking on this as Sam choosing to give it up, even Sam noted it was his choice. Blaming John for taking the shield away from Sam is just blatantly wrong.

And that's not even to mention John is an active duty soldier, he was given an order and assignment that he has no room to say no to. Maybe you do not understand how the military works, but John's assignments are not his choice, and being the new Captain America is not an illegal order that he must refuse. Even Sam and Bucky have had to follow orders when they were soldiers.

You are acting like John plotted with the government to steal the shield away from Sam, as if he somehow is aware that the government is stealing it from Sam and is okay with it, instead of him just being a soldier who was minding his own business doing his own assignments until the government suddenly one day gave him a new job and gave him a two week crash course before tossing him out into the field. He didn't ask to be Cap, he didn't choose to be Cap, it was an order and an assignment given to him by his superiors and he was obligated to follow as all soldiers do.

Also this whole "a good man would recognize..." - Steve and Bucky both couldn't recognize the racist grounds either, hell, neither could also recognize the position that they had put Sam into by dropping the shield on his lap without even consulting with him or getting his consent - are they both now suddenly not good man? You are implying that ignorance somehow equates to malice, and that somehow determines if you're a good person or not, and that's not even remotely true.

All John knew was that Sam gave up the shield and then the government gave him the shield to do a job, there is no self interest or malice or racism involved in John's decision.

A good man wouldn't have used his best friend to help that racist system keep up its image of diversity (always having a white Captain America with a Black sidekick) while it actually rejected any kind of real development for Black Americans.

Used? You think John purposefully chose to use Lemar to prop up diversity points? Do you not think Lemar has a mind of his own? That he was not going to let his best friend walk into danger without someone to watch his back? I'm sorry but you are showing a repeating pattern of ignoring the agencies of Black characters to turn them into just victims. First with Sam giving up the shield, and now with Lemar choosing to be there for John. You should reckon your own ignorances and prejudices on that.

That's Lemar's best friend, that's a childhood bond as real as Steve and Bucky choosing to always stand by each other. And that's not even to consider the bond between a Captain and his First Sergeant that is prevalent in the military in general. John isn't using Lemar for propping up diversity, that's not even a consideration the showrunners themselves have. Again, you are putting malice where there is none and disrespecting the agencies of Black characters.

He was never a good man. Do I think he was a villain? Of course not. But we as the audience need to recognize how much damage he had willingly caused. He can't be a superhero, because was never motivated by the greater good. John has always been driven solely by his own self interest, and he will likely continue to hurt people to get his way.

Damage he willingly caused? Again. You are blaming him for being Captain America when it wasn't his choice or his idea. He didn't willingly cause anything. He's not the reason that Sam didn't keep the shield.

And acting like reactions born out of grief and trauma somehow determines if someone is good or not, or makes you a superhero or not, is silly, given how many MCU heroes HAVE acted out of grief and trauma despite the narratives upholding them as good. T'Challa literally spent all of Civil War trying to do attempted murder with no remorse or holding back, yet he still became a superhero. Thor killed a defeated and unarmed and on-his-knees Thanos, even though he's still a superhero. Peter Parker would have killed the Green Goblin if other people hadn't stopped him and he's also still a good superhero.

And this whole "John is driven by self interest and he will continue to hurt people to get his way" concept is just wrong. it's even wrong without taking into account of Thunderbolts because John literally gives up his revenge when he realizes that there are people who are about to die. The showrunners themselves literally say that John used to be a hero, and that at the end of the day, even if he has his feelings, he knows that the right thing is the right thing to do. John literally drops his own self interest for the greater good.

If you don't want to believe me, then listen to the show creators themselves stating that John's desire to do good is genuine and real.

And once we count in Thunderbolts, it's even more that John CAN be a superhero, that the Thunderbolts came back to SAVE civilians because they care about the greater good and helping others.

John shows his care for other members of the team when he doesn't need to. John is the first to call out about getting civilians off the street and to safety. None of that is for selfish gains.

To claim John is only purely motivated by his own self interest is to completely and fundamentally misunderstand the character. Especially when the last thing he does in TFATWS is to let go of his own self interest in revenge to do the greater good of saving lives.

And again, the creatives at Marvel consistently has said this about John even before Thunderbolts was a thing:
