A Brilliant Explanation Of Consent For Anyone Who STILL Doesn’t Get It. 

that’s would be like “the good the bad and the ugly“ xDDD

wow...

incorrigible.

Wow. So cool

From today’s press conference in Shanghai [x]

CW is a huge letdown for all Steve fans. I’m still so angry about it. But if I remember correctly they said that RDJ wouldn’t agree to this film if his character would have too little screen time or shown in the wrong. And you can’t have CW without him. I think all they could do really is name it Avengers Civil war. Now for me there is only 2 Cap films and 4 avengers films. What a shame

And with Cap’s supposedly “big role” in the next Avengers I can’t help but think that it will be another disappointment. I so hope I’m wrong here.

how they could have kept cap 3 civil war w/o turning it into avengers 2.5

-do not open the film with action. the captain american movies have always been incredibly human. keep the pattern tfa & tws set; open with a moment//moments that add to steve rogers’ character

- scratch the tony narrative Completely. i’m sorry to any tony fans but seriously, get that out of there. follow steve’s perspective and steve’s perspective only, the exception being for plot-driven scenes only 

-given us more steve. he felt like a secondary character to his own film. how could that have been remedied? replace any time alotted by tony flashbacks and character insight with Steve flashbacks and character insight. give me steve watching the mother who had cared for him his whole life, breathing her last breaths in his arms, consumed by sickness. give me a quiet moment with sam, heartbroken and apologetic after two years of unsuccessfully searching for what, a ghost? give me steve helping a old woman carry her groceries into her apartment, and have her recognize him. have him spending the rest of the day with her, unguarded. 

-exploit thaddeus ross’ moral depravity; he is not just some hardass trying to push politics. the project he led illegally experimented on prisoners, he lied to bruce banner (and the misinformation is what led to bruce being turned into the hulk), he personally swore he’d kill bruce and hunted him to endlessly bruce saw no other option than to try to kill himself

-highlight the worst part of the accords. remind the audience that nefarious interests have infiltrated the government before. show us a flashback where steve’s actions were manipulated by a hydra controlled shield & the negative consequences. show us that the government does not always follow the moral highground. 

-let us have more time where steve interacts with bucky. let them have an actual conversation. 

-give us more sam wilson, someone who connected with steve and saw him as more than captain america when no one else would

-make us feel as desperate as steve feels. let us know just will happen if steve doesn’t come out on top this time. give us the hopelessness, make us be sided 100% with steve with no reservations because this is His story, without a single doubt, this is his struggle. we are rooting for steve no matter what as he fights an unjust world that would have killed his best friend without sure evidence, that would have imprisoned him, that would have dictated his every move and treated him and those like him as weapons and pawns

there should have never been sides. it should not have been open for interpretation. it should have just been the story of a man who keeps fighting for what he believes in and stands up against any bully, even if it means pitting him against the whole world, and yet, and yet,…. he still triumphs and refuses to be put down

We don’t trade lives

Jesus.

Just like people willfully misinterpreted Cap’s edict that “Every time someone tries to WIN a war before it starts, innocent people die” as being the same as ‘people trying to STOP a war before it starts’ now everyone is doing the same thing with “We don’t trade lives.”

That doesn’t mean people never die fighting evil.  It doesn’t mean we don’t sacrifice ourselves for the greater good.  It means we don’t let one of our teammates give up their life until we’ve exhausted all other options.

Bruce even spelled it out when Vision tried to make a parallel with Steve’s sacrifice. He points out that Steve didn’t have a CHOICE at that point in time.

Cap wanted to make sure before they killed the person Wanda loved that they exhausted all other options.  What a monster and hypocrite that makes him!

I’m sure if Steve had let Vision die there in Scotland, now everyone would be pointing out that he didn’t even try, that Shuri or Bruce could have helped.

SIGH.

Awww, Stevie, you are number one for me ))

Top 10 Male Marvel Characters as Voted by Our Followers ↳ #2 Steve Rogers

awwww...

fandom: MCU ship: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark tags: Crack/Fluff/Humor

(inspired by this post)

“How are we doing, J?”

“Everything in order, Sir.” The robotic voice of the A.I. echoed on the room. “The laser is ready for activation.”

Tony turned on his chair, eyeing the monitor. There it was, right on the wall, in all his star-spangled glory: Captain America, also known as Steve Grant Rogers, also known as Tony Stark’s biggest nemesis.

As a villain, Tony wasn’t a big believer in maintaining long-term rivalries with heroes. He had heard enough horror stories of villains who got so caught up in defeating their counterparts their plans ended up slacking, turning lazy. Having a designated hero to fight could seem simpler in the surface, but in the long term, it just got messy. And if there was one thing Iron Man, twice-named most influential villain of the world by People’s magazine (take that, Gotham city), definitely didn’t need, was for his plans to get messy because of heroes who couldn’t stop sticking their noses where they didn’t belong.

However.

The Captain had been a different case. They came across each other by complete coincidence – Tony was running a very common world domineering plot, definitely not one of his most inspired works, and the Captain showed up with a few people from his team, What’s-His-Name and What’s-His-Name-With-Wings. To Tony’s surprise, the Captain cracked the steps of his plan easily, managing to surprise him when he marched into Tony’s lair, shield in hand, strong posture and confident voice as he turned his azure eyes towards Tony and proclaimed: Nowhere to run, Iron Man.

It had been rivalry at first sight.

15 favorite MCU characters (as voted by my followers): 1. Steve Rogers (19%)

For as long as I can remember, I just wanted to do what was right. I guess I’m not quite sure what that is anymore. And I thought I could throw myself back in: follow orders, serve. It’s just not the same.

Why Do We Underrate Good Guys?

Why do people like to dismiss genuinely good, optimistic and sweet characters as ‘boring’ or ‘lame’ and make up these ridiculous claims about how they’re not as good enough characters as the sociopathic assholes of every fandom?

1. Why is Ron Weasley kicked to the curb in favor of glorifying the racist and douchey behavior of Draco Malfoy, not even the person Malfoy could become after the War but the smug, elitist, classist, bully we all knew? 

Why is Ron, who filled a hole in Harry’s life immediately, became his friend for who he was not for being The Boy Who Lived, who asked his mother to make him a jumper, rescued him from his abusive relatives, got his family to more or less adopt Harry and followed him to hell and back, not get this much attention?

2. Why is Remus Lupin, with all his silent suffering, well-meaning influence, heartbreak, loneliness and love ignored in favor of a sadistic asshole like Snape?

Snape, who spent ages encouraging prejudice, emotionally-abusing Neville, Harry and Hermione and thinking he was entitled to Lily Evans’ love just because he was passably nice to her until he called her a racial slur and then wanted to trade Harry and James’ lives for Lily, thinking he could still have her like she was a possession. He gets Harry’s son named after him and called the Bravest Man.

3. Why is Loki always made out to be this poor misunderstood baby who gets thousands of metas dedicated to why he went on a murderous rampage and wanted to subjugate an entire race and slaughter his own, and act like they weren’t childish outbursts just because he envied Thor? 

Why is his villainy always downplayed, his being a monster ignored, in favor him being treated like he’s a better person than Thor, who is dismissed as a ‘boring oaf’ despite being loving enough to want to protect and save Loki after he tried to kill him, their father and millions of humans? Why isn’t he allowed to be the asshole villain he is while Thor is the hero he is?

4. Why did people spend ages after Captain America: the Winter Soldier came out claiming Sam Wilson/Falcon was a HYDRA agent when all he did was be someone who understood Steve as a soldier and truly wanted to help him as a hero and help his hero.

Meanwhile, Brock Rumlow got various redemption theories because he flinched that one time Pierce was erasing Bucky’s memory.

5. Why did that badly-written, murderous, obnoxious, psychopath Theo get more love, attention, interest and ships than Scott McCall himself? 

The same goes for Uncle Peter, who was shipped with Lydia and Stiles more than Scott, who has established and loving relationships with? Why is Scott being the all-loving hero such a bad thing?

6. Let’s round up with heroes that are always dismissed by many fans for not being as edgy, angsty or ‘dark’ as their counterparts, Batman and Iron Man. 

– Superman, or as we know him, Clark Kent is such a good man, you guys, even when humans feared him, hated him, blamed him for the destruction he saved them from and wanted to capture him and experiment on him because he’s an alien, he still gave enough of a damn to continue saving them. 

He got a paranoid nut like Bruce Wayne to open up to him, get Mr. ‘I Work Better Alone’ to set up the League and try his best to help everyone on this godforsaken planet despite the fact that he lost his own and is alone in the universe. 

Clark never forgets that despite the fact that he’s the closest thing to a god, that he’s a farmboy from Kansas, because without that tether to humans and their vulnerability and dependance on him he could become the monster Zod is. That hardly gets appreciated!

– Captain America may have faced a boost in popularity lately, but he’ll never get the worship Tony’s increasing petulance and OOC mischaracterization in the Avengers movies. After the Avengers came out there were so many people hating on Steve for daring to argue with Tony, shitting on him for not being sassy like Tony and Loki, for being from the past, making claims that he’s automatically racist, homophobic and misogynistic even though he’s anything but! 

Steve Rogers automatically respected Peggy as a woman and a fellow soldier and does the same with Natasha, he formed the Howling Commandos which included a Brit, a Frenchman, an Asian man and a black man and he was in the army for fuck’s sake, he’s made of tougher stuff so of course he swears, has killed people and has seen men partner up in more ways than one. He went against his orders as a soldier to do the right thing, to save captive soldiers, to save New York from being destroyed and save millions from being killed by HYDRA, including Tony himself. What does he get? Old Man Jokes!

I’m not saying we can’t like asshole characters or the proverbial Jerks With Hearts of Gold, but we need to stop acting like the be all and end all of good, admirable characters are the sadists, jerks, the angst-ridden bad boys and self-destructive types. Let’s be honest, yes, they’re fascinating but you wouldn’t to be their friend in real life, they’d exhaust you or end up killing you.

Good people with good intentions deserve love too. Being a good person, being nice, being friendly all the time consistently is hard, being a hero is even harder.

Show these guys some love, please.
