peter parker is team cap @teamcapspideywlw - Tumblr Blog

i think the marvel vs dc conversation is bad because they're very different animals and i think its very obvious in how they approach the avengers and the justice league, even if you compare it between dceu and mcu, because at the end of the day superheroes in marvel seem to be allied with the governemtn regardless of their cause, like shield and avengers seem to be deeply connected in both fucntion and system because they're lead by a military guy and then the league in itself is funny because literally no one gets paid, they consider it volunteer work, that they operate outside of the planet so they would not be beholden to one state

the Avengers: you don't understand, we HAVE to work with the government. to protect people.

it has always been baffling to me that team iron man has so many shooters. like i get that majority of team iron man supporters are only on his team because of who he has on it but i dont get how anyone could genuinely think tony was in the right about anything in civil war. steve was 100% right about the accords and tony’s hypocritical ass was only in support of them because of his guilt about sokovia, which he was projecting onto the team. then tony goes and blackmails a child into fighting on his team without really giving peter the full context before he goes and breaks the accords himself. the only thing tony was remotely right about was that the avengers (mainly him because sokovia and by extension johannesburg was his fault) needing accountability, but the accords as they were was the wrong way to do it. nevermind the fact that tony wanted them to sign their autonomy over to ross, who’s negligence and own agendas lead to the creation of the hulk and the abomination which saw bruce go on the run for years.

as someone who has also read a fair amount of mcu fics over the years, it has always annoyed me so much how team iron man supporters baby tony stark and villainise team cap because they dared to disagree with the narcissistic man child. i will skip basically any fic that has ‘not team cap friendly’ tagged cause it’s just absurd to me the way people portray team cap. tony stark is an incredibly flawed character and it just irks me the way his fans overlook all of his flaws and villainise anyone who doesnt worship the ground he walks on.

i’ve always believed that steve was right about the accords and that he should’ve at least told tony about bucky killing his parents, but now i dont even think steve had any obligation to tell tony that. bucky was steve’s best friend who had been a brainwashed POW for 70 years, and steve was loyal to bucky before anyone else. steve’s relationship with tony was tumultuous at best with tony always keeping steve at arms length because of things that werent even steve’s fault and he wouldnt at least hear steve out about the doctor, and people think steve shouldve just thrown bucky under the bus to tony? there is no easy way to tell someone that their parents didnt die the way they thought they did and that they were actually assassinated by your best friend. tony is volatile and unpredictable so there is no guarantee that he wouldn’t have tried to kill bucky regardless of how he found out about his parents. so steve was right to protect bucky from a hostile variable when it wasnt really bucky who killed tony’s parents. tony did deserve to know the truth about his parents, but steve wasnt obligated to give him that.

what do u mean by that superman scene and cacw??

lois in superman (2025): so you went to a foreign country without their leaders approval and meddled in affairs?

clark: yes! bc peoples lives matter more than bureaucracy!

the narrative: correct ✅

the foul harlot captain america civil war (2016) that will live in my brain forever: hey remember when we spent 2.5 HOURS, rerouted the entire trilogy, and didn’t even commit to a winner for this same dumbass debate that was just presented and shut down in less than 10 mins lol

txttletale

now that ive actually seen the new superman film its really funny to have seen zionists say it was like some pro-palestinian anti-israel screed when the furthest its political message goes is "its bad to wantonly massacre brown civilians for no reason". telling on yourself a bit there innit

Only one person died. Only one singular person. In a superhero movie! The type that love to throw around casualty counts like it’s all a big game, waving off 70 people being killed in a handful of days like it’s no big deal, yet only ONE PERSON died.

And he was mourned. Superman cried for him—this stranger who gave him free falafel and, while facing death, told him that he still believed in him. Metamorpho, this cold-seeming man who is being actively blackmailed to do this, breaking down and taking the risk to believe in Superman, too, because seeing someone murdered right in front of him is devastating enough to take the risk. The newspapers run a front page article talking about how they’re going to memorialize him.

The stakes didn’t have to involve real actual loss of life. The threat of it was enough to convey the severity of the situation. Because human life is that important. All life is that important, at least to Superman who goes out of his way to save dogs and squirrels.

(Hawkgirl does kill SHEIN Netanyahu but genocidal dictators don’t count as human beings lol.)

re-reclass

Superman losing his composure only when people shrug off the lives of others. Doesn’t matter how well he knows them. Doesn’t matter if they’re even human.

He gets upset at the Justice Gang for brutally killing a rampaging Kaiju and not even attempting to find a way to move it or at least euthanize it more humanely.

The only time he raises his voice during Lois’ interview is when she digs into his interference in geopolitics, because people would have died if he hadn’t acted. The only time he yells at Luthor is when Luthor abducts Krypto. The only time he cries is when Luthor murders someone he barely even knew.

He saves a fucking squirrel for god’s sake. We’re so back.

I like comic book adaptations because there’s so much in each story that you can play with. The Spider-Man comics or the Batman comics both comprise hundreds of stories all thrown together in a not-particularly-coherent muddle. The act of the adaptation is to see what sense can be made from this. And we have, for both Spider-Man and Batman, seen several different answers to that question! We have video games and animated TV shows and live action movie series and each one showcases something different about the character, assembles the pieces a little bit differently.

My problem with something like the MCU is its claim that it should be definitive. A good adaptation should understand that the comics are the only definitive thing we get, in all their weird contradictory glory. This problem with the MCU mostly occurs with lesser-known superheroes, like Iron Man. It’s impossible to believe that the MCU’s Spider-Man is the only Spider-Man, but it’s absolutely possible to believe that RDJ is the only version of Iron Man.

Comic book adaptations should open up the conversations about possibilities of the stories, rather than reducing the characters to only one single story and version.

litchrally know your herstory… one of the reasons rdj was so heavily in captain america 3 out of nowhere when he was originally supposed to be a GUEST star was bc the judge (2014) flopped so Hard in late 2014/early 2015 (and people started noticing he doesnt have the range and essentially played the same character in the judge that he did in iron man and sherlock holmes) so then HE Personally negotiated to get a bigger role in the next marvel movie (cap: civil war) AND get paid a stupid amount of money for it. and thats ALSO why proceeding the judge (2014), rdj stopped doing NON-marvel movies entirely, bc he knew with marvel he could give a garbage performance and STILL get praised for it while making ridiculous money. and he does not have that sway with an unbiased audience.

Which also means that now that Dolittle flopped, we’ll get him back in the MCU. Whether it’s a ‘what if’ on Disney+ or his co-star’s solo movies

Anthony Mackie: *Talks about raising his kids to be masculine which to him means respect, compassion, responsibility, protecting your family etc.*

Anthony Mackie: *Talks about how growing up in the 80s and 90s in the south you grow up misogynistic sexist and homophobic*

Anthony Mackie: My roommate was gay. I didn't know how to deal with that. My brother is gay. I didn't know how to deal with that. So being a MAN I used my art to better myself. I played Perry so that I could understand my brother better

Anthony Mackie:

A bunch of people online: He is clearly a homophobe alpha male type

Look. I get seeing a headline and taking it a certain way. I get the kneejerk reaction to not read what someone says in good faith. But Mackie has been pretty open about a lot of things in his life. So you can find out pretty quickly how he feels about things and that he is teaching his kids non toxic masculinity.

lowcountrymountaineer

Alsooo, this is important: There are plenty of masculinities that exist both in spite of and outside of patriarchy. There are plenty of indigenous cultures where patriarchy simply didn't exist. A part of liberation for women and queer people involves redefining, uprooting and reshaping masculinity. Masculinity is not in itself corrosive and bad but it's the type of masculinity that is taught that is the problem. Patriarchal masculinity is specifically the problem! Masculinities like Mackie's should be embraced and nurtured.
