Does anyone else think it’s sad that Loki only met Joss Whedon’s Captain America and never like, actual Steve Rogers?

[smol-bean-buchanan]

oh, it was steve’s notebook…

IT WAS STEVE’S NOTEBOOK

[infiniteetcetera]

OKAY BUT i’ve felt so conflicted about Bucky’s therapist because I love that entire sequence but couldn’t decide how I felt about her treatment of him as a patient UNTIL I just saw a Tiktok (yeah I know) of a vet who struggled with mental health explaining that a lot of the VA therapists and mental health professionals are trained to help soldiers get back to work and not to actually help them through their problems AND NOW IM BEING HIT WITH THAT PART AT THE END OF THE SCENE where Bucky says he wants peace and she’s like “but is that what you really want???” and now i’m just saddened by the thought that this therapist is just some U.S. government worker who’s supposed to get Bucky back on the field working for them and I just 😔

Don’t mind me, I just need to rant

Endgame was years ago and I’m still mad about a lot of things, but especially Steve’s ending. I seen a lot stuff about it and I’m just... still mad. 

1. Peggy was FINE. SHE MARRIED SOMEONE ELSE. SHE WAS HAPPY. STEVE, YOU TWO DIDN’T EVEN DATE! I KNOW SHE’S AMAZING AND YOU COULD STILL MISS HER AFTER ALL THIS TIME BUT SHE ALREADY HAD A LIFE. 

2.  Also Steve DATED Sharon. It didn’t work out but like, dude. He actually had a relationship with her. Steve kissed Peggy’s niece (on the day of Peggy’s funeral, no less) and they reportedly dated later! Do you realize how likely it is that they fucked!?!?!? And he goes back in time to be Sharon’s UNCLE!!!

3.  Going decades back in time... Knowing about countless atrocities that will happen that you shouldn’t interfere with... That sounds like fun for a guy like Steve.

4.  What exactly the fuck was the deal with the time travel again? He should’ve been unable to come back because he’d created a new time line, except actually it was a thing that would always happen, or something? Idk it was some weird bullshit.

5. Steve just hides, or something? Hides his entire life and Peggy’s secret husband? Changes his identity? I don’t know?  6. Steve spent over a decade in the present. He has people he cares about, especially after they reverse the snap. HOW many movies did Steve spend trying to get back to Bucky? They mean a lot to each other. I’m not saying they can’t find happiness individually, I’m saying why would they CHOOSE to? Why. The fuck. Would Steve leave Bucky after finally getting him back? Why would he leave his best friend to deal with everything on his own, a lot of which is stuff that Steve understands and has been through? Steve knows how hard it is, but doesn’t stick around to help the friend that he defied nations for?  7. Steve did the exact opposite of what Peggy herself told him to do? She like, told him she’d had a fulfilling life and he should go do the same. 

8.  Listen, the dance was great. It was beautiful. But it should’ve ended there.  9. Just saw Falcon and the Winter Soldier. We’re getting all that stuff about Bucky needing to learn to trust people and also being alone and... no mention of Steve at all. If Bucky has a breakthrough with his therapist and screams “HE LEFT ME.” I will not be surprised  and I will burst into tears. 

[lesmiserablol]

hahaha hey guys remember in the first captain america movie when steve went against direct orders and risked his life on the slim chance that bucky (his best friend, the only family he had left, the one person who knew steve the longest and knew what steve was truly like) was alive? and then remember when he thought bucky had died and how much that destroyed him?

oh or how about the time when he realized that bucky had been alive the whole time and was brainwashed into being a weapon for HYDRA and when bucky tried to literally kill him, steve didn’t move. he didn’t fight. he just took it. because that was his friend and he knew he was still in there and he was right and would’ve drowned if it hadn’t been for bucky. remember that?

or how about the years that steve spent afterward looking for him? and then the way that steve broke the law several times to protect bucky once he found him again because he trusted him and wanted him back and wanted to help him?

oh! wait! remember when steve became a literal wanted man and was a vigilante for years because he was protecting bucky? and how happy steve was to see bucky in wakanda again? how they were finally reunited and then that same day, steve watched bucky turn into dust right before him? and had to live five more years without him? and then after five years he was finally back and they could finally be there for each other?

oh but wait. remember how steve threw all of that in a back alley del taco dumpster and said peace out y’all i’m going back to a woman i kissed once byeeeeee. and he left bucky behind. his best friend. the only person who could relate so deeply to his experiences. steve just abandoned him. leaving him alone. leaving him with no one.

because i do. i remember that and it is my villain origin story.

Movies That Need to Happen

1.  Margo Robbie and Emilia Clarke play Valley girls. Both have very blonde, amazing hair. 90′s vibes to the MAX. They accidentally solve like, a murder or whatever.

2.  Daniel Craig’s 007 dies spectacularly in the first 10 minutes of the next Bond film, and Tom Holland’s character is given the mantle. His love interest is a bit older than him, taller without heels, and their scenes are devoid of dubious consent. There is a scene where Tom Holland’s 007 orders his martini “shaken, not stirred” and the bartender just gives him fuckin’ JUICE because he refuses to believe he’s old enough to drink. His love interest has to order the drinks for him.

Hero marries the great-grandfather of his archnemesis, thereby changing the timeline and erasing him from existence is a wild-as-hell concept but it’s what would’ve happened if barryxeddie had been made canon

I just wish it was more simple.

Drogon looking for mom in the big city (from the Time Warner Cable commercial a few years back)

[tesb]

“What, what, what, WHAT!?” the actress recalls thinking. “Because it comes out of f—king nowhere. I’m flabbergasted. Absolutely never saw that coming.” […] “I cried,” Clarke says. “And I went for a walk. I walked out of the house and took my keys and phone and walked back with blisters on my feet. I didn’t come back for five hours. I’m like, ‘How am I going to do this?’” […] “I genuinely did this, and it’s embarrassing and I’m going to admit it to you,” Clarke says. “I called my mom and—” Clarke shifts into a tearful voice to perform the conversation as she reenacts the call: “'I read the scripts and I don’t want to tell you what happens but can you just talk me off this ledge? It really messed me up.’ And then I asked my mom and brother really weird questions. They were like: ‘What are you asking us this for? What do you mean do I think Daenerys is a good person? Why are you asking us that question? Why do you care what people think of Daenerys? Are you okay?’ And I’m all: ‘I’m fine! … But is there anything Daenerys could do that would make you hate her?’” — Emilia Clarke, Entertainment Weekly

DAENERYS TARGARYEN DESERVED BETTER.

[doctor-potts]

oh, so thor gets nobody back?? he only gets the guardians that honestly find him kinda annoying?? he got super depressed and self destructive and has no one to help him through it??

[zutaras]

“We think of men as antiheroes, as capable of occupying an intense and fascinating moral grey area; of being able to fall, and rise, and fall again, but still be worthy of love on some fundamental level, because if it was the world and its failings that broke them, then we surely must owe them some sympathy. But women aren’t allowed to be broken by the world; or if we are, it’s the breaking that makes us villains. Wronged women turn into avenging furies, inhuman and monstrous: once we cross to the dark side, we become adversaries to be defeated, not lost souls in need of mending. Which is what happens, when you let benevolent sexism invest you in the idea that women are humanity’s moral guardians and men its native renegades: because if female goodness is only ever an inherent quality – something we’re born both with and to be – then once lost, it must necessarily be lost forever, a severed limb we can’t regrow. Whereas male goodness, by virtue of being an acquired quality – something bestowed through the kindness of women, earned through right action or learned through struggle – can just as necessarily be gained and lost multiple times without being tarnished, like a jewel we might pawn in hardship, and later reclaim.”

Do you ever wonder if Steve has a hard time picking up the shield?

Like when it’s lying flat on the ground and it’s like super smooth tile is it like picking up a dime off the table? You just can never quite get your fingers under the edge?

[imhereforbvcky]

@kat-lives yes!!! He makes this face when he sees it:

“Bucky, get in here. I need your knife again!”

[buckyland]

ABSOLUTELY. like a coin, he just hopes the shield falls on the right side up. that way he can do his cool kick flip and grab move. because that’s The Captain America Way ™. 

at one point bucky stops helping steve though. he’ll say he ran out of knives after some butt-kicking action. or he’ll plainly say he doesn’t have any. either way, it’s a total lie, he definitely has at least two more somewhere on him. 

bucky is just as much of a little shit to steve as steve is to him because that’s friendship. he just wants to watch ~cAptAiN aMerIcA~ struggle so he’ll stand there watching, sometimes even pulling out a protein bar from the depths of his pocket (definitely not next to a knife he doesn’t have, nope sir). 

[bitsandbobsandstuff]

Here’s Mee, doing God’s work and posing the questions we need real answers to. 😂

Steve must’ve broken so many god damn nails over the years trying to jam his fingers underneath. That boy needs a manicure.

Also I have to believe sometimes Bucky finds the Shield right side up…and like the little fucker he is, he flips it upside down. Waltzes away with that protein bar and his hidden knives, whistling showtunes.

[cluegrrl]

And there are at least a few times when Steve will literally watch Bucky lie to him about having no knives, then shrug and say he’ll just have to fight evil without it then. After all, he didn’t need a vibranium shield when he was 104 pounds, he doesn’t need it now. Then he’ll watch the vein throb in Bucky’s head via reflection in a nearby window as he turns and walks away. Bucky stops that game after the second time.

[copperbadge]

The shield stores kinetic energy though, right? So in theory, if you can trigger the kinetic energy release, it’ll blast off on its own. 

So imagine Bucky says he has no knives, and Steve, having worked this out in private, is like, “Well, I’ll just have to whistle for it,” and whistles sharply while thumping one boot near the shield in just the right way. It releases the kinetic energy from the fall, bounding up and into his hands, while the rest of the Commandos try to pretend that this isn’t the weirdest shit that happened since Schmidt pulled his own face off. 

[ommanyte]

hey, hey listen, no I’m serious, the climax of Pas de Deux from the Nutcracker fits really well with Deku’s 1,000,000% smash, no wait, hear me out, it wORKS, blease,

[joham-fate]

You could actually hear the moment, that Cas saw Dean unconscious. He stopped breathing.

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse (2018)

[savvysergeant]

Even tho I LOVE this scene and all the goodbyes, these screencaps got me focused on how much I love the ridiculous “stickiness” of the Spiders.

It’s like one of the powers that comes with being a Spider-Person is gravity disappears as long as they are stuck to something.

Look at PeterB and Gwen! Just casually crouching upsidedown off the ceiling while Miles and PeterNoir hang on with an arm and feet in the usual crawl pose. All 4 of them are completely nonchalant and comfortable.

And then I think about PeterB and Miles walking horizontally up and down the side of a building earlier in the film like their bodies had no pull towards the ground. Peter’s jacket did, and Miles slipped around for a while, but otherwise their bodies just went with the physics you’d associate with walking and moving traditionally with gravity as a factor.

Muscle tone can only do so much with that kind of control and movement before the strain sets in and they gotta at least let their necks flop. But nah, every Spidey I’ve ever seen just decides to deny physics when they wanna stick to something, even if it’s sheer glass or the Hulk.

Bruh most of them can lift 50 tonnes I’m pretty sure they can lift their own heads
