#mcu fandom wank

Bruh I can’t believe I got hyperfixated on the falcon and the winter soldier because for four seconds I forgot this fandom was racist.

And now I’m 60 replies deep into fandom discourse and yelling into the void and I hate it here

“But Captain Marvel is Millitary Propaganda”

Okay I see where you are coming from but no one said shit when Steve Rogers was litterally a tool to get young men to enlist in the war in the 40s. So are you really concerned about the media getting kids to enlist in the army or you are only concerned when the protagonist isn’t a buff white dude.

somehow you managed to make a post about a ship being underrated into an anti tony post. imagine being so obsessed with hating the character that you can’t keep his name out of your mouth.

ok honestly i wanted to let this go but.................................i physycally Cannot. so listen up: rhodey is free to have issues with both steve as a person & as a public image (read: captain america); mostly because, read this, it might sound shocking, rhodey is & has been an actual military man for years unlike steve who spent half of his serving time in cryo sleep. Granted, Rhodey can’t understand what it’s like to subject yourself to scientific enhancement in the name of joining & then have your entire life taken from you because of you serving your country (steve’s real sacrifices), but like let’s not pretend Rhodey would prove to being so out of character that one could consider him a Skrull just because he has problems with the whole idea of Steve’s over-glorified image as Captain America -- that’s, although I’m up for a good debate, very in-character for Rhodey; who is a still active (tho, that isn’t clear anymore, given his current state) Air Force Colonel, with a high position within the government, a Mechanical Engineering degree (& at MIT!). Rhodey wasn’t “given” any of his ranks for pulling simple stunts he most likely had to get them by hard, long work & for this person to think that Rhodey wouldn’t have the slightest issues with how Steve got promoted to Captain is honestly just......wow, how little do you know Rhodey?

on to the thing that really pissed me off about this post; the tags. 

“im already trying to work past the whole snark on tony in AoU for the nuke thing” 

ok but, as i was telling @asexualtonystark before i decided to post this; rhodey was entitled to be bitter there & im,,,,,,,,como se dice,,,,,,,tired of yall expecting rhodey to be some Prime Human Form Of Patience & Kindness like tony went behind his back, fuck the rest of the avengers, HIS BACK, & created ultron. Rhodey is the frist one to really consider just about the kind of Real Danger ultron presents (”he’s on your files, he’s on the internet. What if he decides to access something a little more exciting?” “Nuclear codes”). Tony’s off about how he’s the one who sacrificed himself & Rhodey, who has dealt with Tony three times as longer as any of the people on that room have, responds with poor humor because he’s pissed, too, & he has a good damn reason to. 

also, i love how yall are really quick to put rhodey in the corner & question all his every actions but never take the time to bat an eye to other (read: white) characters

“and the lack of concern over the PTSD in IM3″

the “lack of concern over the PTSD” lmao, are we talking about the same movie? Rhodey’s “unconcerned” ass is the first character (i might even dare to say the only one) in this movie to actually word out “Are you okay?” to Tony. (he even fucking says, literally, “I’m concerned about you, Tony”) 

wow!! look at that !! unconcern-ness. 

“and the stupid UN is totally different and definitely something Hydra wouldn’t be interested in thing in CACW”

I really dont understand shit about what you meant here but Rhodey supporting the Accords is definitely not ooc either. Rhodey does what needs to be done (as he himself said at the end of CACW) & dismissing the desires of 117 countries isn’t what needs to be done; so, I really don’t get why yall whine about Rhodey siding with the UN in this particular predicament because shit’s already hit the fan & damn if Rhodey isn’t in it for fixing it as soon & as effectively as possible. 

& lastly “dont make rhodey out as someone that immature”

my posts (& the replies that it got that ive reblogged) were meant as a non-serious post; with canon-basis, but really wasn’t about ofending steve or anything of the sorts, if anything, i’d be happy to read someone trying to actually make me buy the idea that rhodey would be completely okay with steve’s past as a war propaganda image & i would love to read meta posts about how that has affected steve himself. 

my posts weren’t about rhodey “disrespecting steve’s service & sacrifices”; they were about how rhodey wouldn’t really care about the Captain America legend because he has met real heroes & realer soldiers in his life. it had very little to do with steve himself.

One day I’ll make a post about how the MCU fandom infantilizes Bucky because of his PTSD and mental illness. There is a lot of nuance there that I need some more time to reflect on. But I don’t have the spoons for that so just consider.

And feel free to add onto this if you’ve got resources or links to posts that have already addressed this

[antmanandthewasp]

it should go without saying, but at the end of the day the people in the mcu cast are strangers to us. we do not know them and they do not know us. the fact you had the gall to reverse search this individual’s phone number is extremely rude, invasive, and creepy.

if you are spreading it around, you should be very ashamed of yourself. 

[antmanandthewasp]

fuck out of here with that gate keeping bullshit. a good movie is a good movie. people are allowed to have emotional reactions to infinity war and you shouldn’t demean them because you deem them as ‘casual’ fans. be better.

I am MEGA PISSED at that pic of Bucky with the shield:

1) If Steve is destined to die, this is like dancing on his grave.  Wow, can’t wait until the body is even cold to give his shield away, you fuckers? FUCK YOU Russo Brothers. Fuck you with rusty pitchforks!

2) WTF?  What about Sam Wilson?  This is like saying he wouldn’t even be CONSIDERED to take up the shield. So, FUCK YOU Russo Brothers. Fuck you with rusty pitchforks! 

3) If this turns out to be a head-fake to preserve their precious secrecy, it’s mean, it’s fan-baiting, and the wailing and whining from those who want Bucky to get the shield will NEVER STOP.  NEVER. So, FUCK YOU Russo Brothers. Fuck you with rusty pitchforks!

4) What the fuck about SAM WILSON?????  So, in conclusion, FUCK YOU, Russo Brothers. Fuck you with rusty pitchforks!

Thanks for coming to my angry and profane TED Talk.
