“What are your feelings on the mutant threat?!” one of the reporters shouts, and Steve just looks at him.
“I think anyone threatening mutants should be stopped,” he says calmly, and the swarm of reporters explodes, a dozen camera flashes going off at once.
I absolutely adore this. It’s so incredibly rare to see Scott front and centre, and even rarer to see him getting to have actual friends instead of increasingly complicated familial relationships. It’s also nice to see his secondary mutation getting some recognition. Steve feels perfectly in character for his MCU-self, and Scott feels like he did in the comics back when he sometimes got to have light-hearted storylines to break up all the apocalypses.
