Bucky Is Happy When He Has Plums And Steve Is Happy When He Has Bucky ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 . .

OMG this is sooooooo impressive - personally I was always curious why aren’t girls eating on the screen, when boys do like allthe time. Thank you for noticing this problem!

Also, when I tried to find some gif where is actually a superhero girl eating  substantial food, I found just one (!!!) animated gif. That’s really alarming!!!

It’s wonder woman from DC, and I think it’s really cute

Comic Book Movie Sexism: Food

It’s July 2021.

The MCU has been churning out movies for 13 years at this point. Black Widow finally got her first solo movie (er, despite technically being dead but let’s not get into that…) and I watched the movie eager to see if Natasha would finally be shown to EAT something substantial, and with joy.

The depression sandwich (with out of date peanut butter) delicately nibbled on while crying does NOT count.

Minor spoiler, Natasha does not eat much in the entire movie.

I counted: a delicate spoon of a confectionery (ice cream? Yoghurt? Either way it’s insubstantial food) where the spoon is more visible than what’s on the spoon, and only a delicate lick happens.

And, she chews gum.

THAT’S IT.

Oh, side note, Yelena helps herself to one of Natasha’s 5 years out of date bar (candy? Protein? We will never know), unwraps it to take a bite yet it is obscured by her hands, and as she chews she is definitely not enjoying it.

I have to say, I’m disappointed.

Disappointed, but not surprised. Because the script isn’t written by women, it’s written by men. In fact nearly all the comic book movies are written by men, and directed by men.

Women never eat onscreen.

Let me be more specific: the women protagonists in superhero movies never eat substantial food joyfully.

I’ve already said that depression sandwich doesn’t count.

Neither does the Shawarma scene in Avengers Assemble, because we never see the food enter Natasha’s mouth, and the mood isn’t what I’d call joyful (but if it had visibly been a good bite I would have allowed it).

By all means go watch the clip and see for yourself, we get the usual trick of jaw movement to pretend the actor is eating, then at the very last moment Natasha does LIFT a piece of food… only for the scene to cut out before it reaches her mouth.

Meanwhile three separate men at the table have no problem shoving food into their mouths.

Tony Stark has eaten a fair amount over the course of the MCU…

Sure, you could argue that Tony’s hamburgers and donuts are on the same level as Natasha’s depression sandwich. Heroes only eat when they’re depressed? Great job, Disney.

But there’s still the sexism of how the food is eaten. In that it’s acceptable to watch a man shove food in his mouth, but not acceptable to watch a woman doing it.

Which is likely why the latter is rarely shown across all of Marvel/Disney, or DC/WB.

Wonder Woman licked an ice cream once? (Doesn’t count. Dainty licks of a confectionery is not substantial food.)

Gamora sexily licked a piece of fruit once?

I’ve watched this scene again and again, and I’ve discounted it for multiple reasons. Gamora is pretending to appear at ease, by licking a small piece of fruit and being performative about it.

One could argue she isn’t really eating at all, just licking, to distract Peter before she steals from him.

Also, she obscures her mouth so we the audience see nothing go in.

This is all really sad, if I’m going to be honest.

And it’s not like women can’t eat onscreen in Hollywood, period. Keira Knightley ate in Pirates of the Caribbean. Darryl Hannah ate a specially made vegetarian ‘lobster’ for Disney’s Touchstone pictures.

So why aren’t women superheros eating anything decent?

The only women in comic book movies taking a proper BITE of food or eating substantial food joyfully, are the villains/antagonists.

Nebula and the it’s not ripe gag in Guardians volume 2.

Does it even count if she spits out the food right after the bite? Sigh.

Next, Amanda Waller eating a fine steak in Suicide Squad (2016).

Arguably, showing Amanda cutting up and eating meat is purposeful because in the scene she’s also discussing her new team of disposable soldiers.

It’s symbolic to show her devour meat, and Amanda is the antagonist of the movie not the protagonist.

This leads me onto the only woman protagonist in a comic book movie (that some would still call the villain/antagonist) to have broken the glass ceiling of eating food onscreen.

Harley Quinn.

We all remember how enamoured the character was to have her breakfast in Birds of Prey (2020). In fact, “Harley x Egg sandwich” was practically a ship.

Is this surprising, given that the movie Birds of Prey is unique in having women in creative control from script, to director, to producer?

That has to be the difference.

Harley’s relationship to food seems natural in the movie, and she is shown to eat more than once, and talks about food multiple times.

The scene at the end where Harley finally gets to eat her egg sandwich is clearly a joyful moment.

And so rare to watch in this genre.

Look at that decent bite actress Margot Robbie takes, and ask yourself when did you last see any woman in a superhero movie enjoy food like this?

This may seem insignificant to some, but it’s become something that really irks me.

I was disappointed that Black Widow never got to eat anything except a sad flat expired sandwich in her MCU career.

Meanwhile, back with Harley Quinn again, she’s taking a good bite of apple in the trailer for The Suicide Squad (2021).

She also talks about “going number two”, and it seems that only antagonists or villains in these movies are permitted to speak about bodily needs or functions (we all remember Iron Man peeing in his suit, and even actor Robert Downey Junior described the character as “his own antagonist”), while the women protagonists get to… chew gum or delicately lick confectionery.

Sigh.

It’s unsatisfying.

(If anyone has photo evidence of a woman character shown to be eating in ANY comic book live action, the TV shows too, I’d love to see it. Food MUST go into the actor’s mouth to count! No more delicate licks or delicate sips from a straw.)

reason why should everybody love Becca Barnes

Becca: *breaks into her brother's room through the window at midnight* Becca: Bucky? do you have a crayon? Bucky: Becca: Brother, why are you naked? Bucky: ummm... I don’t have any clothes Becca: *goes to the closet* Becca: well, you already have shirts, pants, ties, socks, oh, hi Steve... Becca: wait... Steve?

Bucky and (also naked)Steve: *hold their breath and prepare for the worst*

Becca: do you have a crayon? :)

"i would find you in any universe" but it's very clearly intended as a threat

Angel blondie save meee

Music

Hiiiiii! I just want to talk about something little bit different today 😥

I’s about that, I really LOVE old music. like:

Me: my favourite singer is Billie. Them: Eilish? Me: *put on 40s dresses and hairstyle* Holiday 😎

And I really LOVE to dance to it. The spin of my skirt, feeling my hair in a cute bow and also the romance of old texts... ach... 💖💖💖

Anyway - even when I like it, I will NEVER start playing it out loud in my bedroom. Why? because my father has cancel right next to me and I just... don’t feel comfortable when I imagine he will know that I’m listening to Billie Holiday, Fred Astaire or Benny Goodman 😖🙁😞

But yesterday I was wondering WHY I have it like that - my father mustn’t care at all what I’m listening to, right? It’s not somethnig I should be ashamed of 😖. So I tought about that and I came to a conclusion that I feel uncomfortable when I have to tell to my family something a little bit personal about me. But still is here that question... WHY? I think that when i was a child and I told what I like to do (like playing on the piano) to my mother or to my dad, they started to be completle mad about that. not in a way they would forbid me it, but in exactly opposite way(which also wasn’t so good) 😖😟😩.

Example:

When I told to my mommy I like to play the piano, the first thing she did was to signed me up to the music school. But I didn’t wanted or liked play that way - everyday must training boooriiing and difficult songs that I didn’t even like. But I didn’t want to disappoint her, so I kept going to stupid music classes and kept myself under stress just for my mother to be happy.

(PS - It ruined all my love to the playing. completely. I still like to play on piano or hear somebody to play on it, but that magical feeling I had, before I was forced to do it, that little taste of freedom that it has that I could taste on my tongue... It’s all away. Congrats, if you want your child to start hate what it loved before, instructions are above) 😖😟😖

So I think it’s because I’m scared that if they (my parents) will know that I like old jazz music or dancingon it, they will propably force me to do it everyday until it will end up as that thing with piano.

Because the thing I love about dancing, freedom, doesn’t mean that you are forced to do something until you will want to kill yourself, freedom is that you can leave whenever you want - and that’s the reason why I keep staying.

Okay, after downwriting this I just realized that I have really shitty parents. excuse me, I will propably cry for a few hours now 😨👋🤭😖🤧

Bye!
