I don’t really like to post negative stuff, but like I really struggle to understand why people actually like Tony Stark.

Even discounting a lot of his shadier stuff, like selling weapons and essentially war profiteering which happens pre and during Iron Man 1, he does some pretty shady stuff. One of the things that still leaves a sour taste in my mouth is the whole Peter Parker thing in Civil War.

I wasn’t a Tony Anti when Civil War came out. In fact I actually liked him at the time, but the scene where Tony locks the door when he’s trying to recruit a 15 year old Peter really made me feel anxious, mostly because it mirrored a not so pleasant memory for me.

Also the fact that Tony uses Peter’s anxiety about telling aunt May about his powers to blackmail him into fighting team cap in Germany, and then essentially abandons him afterwards? Yeah that’s not good.

Tony was never a father figure to Peter, he simply used the kid like a tool against Steve and threw him away once the fight was done, because that’s how Tony has learned to treat people, like objects to be thrown away once he has no more use for them.

Imagine this as the season finale of “WandaVision”:

It’s right after the Maximoff family (Wanda, Vision, Evan Peters Pietro, Tommy, and Billy) have their big superhero showdown with Agatha Harkness and Mephisto, our main villain. Suddenly, everyone but Wanda starts disappearing due to the simulation being shut down. Just when you think Wanda is ready to let them go, she suddenly whispers, “Stay.”

Then…the entire show just goes haywire. The entire MCU glitches out, leaving the audience wondering what the fuck is going on.

Cut to the Sanctum Sanctorum. Doctor Strange, who felt a disturbance in the multiverse, managed to hide away in a pocket dimension before Wanda’s epic, reality-changing moment. When he comes back to the MCU, he brings up the news to figure out what Wanda changed. His eyes then widen when he sees what Wanda did.

The MCU timeline is mostly the same. All the movies and TV shows are still canon as before. However, the universe has been modified to accommodate the mutants. All of a sudden, people are acting as if the mutants have existed in the MCU this whole time. Then, when Strange brings up news about Wanda, he’s shocked to see that not only are Pietro and Vision alive, it’s the Evan Peters version, not the original one. And not only that, she has kids, a new sister (hello, Polaris) and even brought her dad back to life (now played by either Sir Ian McKellen or Michael Fassbender). 

Wanda pulled a reverse “House of M” by literally rewriting reality to include the mutants, just so she could bring her family back to life. 

The show ends with Strange freaking out over the fact that the entire MCU has been rewritten/retconned by Wanda and that he’s the ONLY ONE who still remembers how the universe was before. 

oh Clinton,,, how I’ve missed you,,,

this is all, at the core, @lake-shark ‘s fault and all criticism should be directed at her

we were doing our catws10 rewatch and i said that in the highway scene, I had heard that sebastian’s pronunciation of russian is quite bad and instead of saying “i have her, find him”, he’s saying something about a brick. i am trying to be humorous.

misha shoots back “yeah almost like the language got brute-forced into his head.”

i don’t know why it never occurred to me how stressful bucky learning russian probably was, probably because he already speaks it in the comics, but now i’m running through everything regarding language and it’s through a whole new filter. holy shit. he’s got to learn it from torturers and abusers.

first, how fucking isolating. how embarrassing and degrading in a real way. people talk to him like he’s stupid. he doesn’t fully understand why he has this other language in his head that he wants to use, but is almost certainly not allowed to. his internal language is severed from his external language. the words he does say feel unwieldy in his mouth and harsh to his own ears. he can’t practice it, and no one is gonna sit down and teach him.

second, to quote dialect quoting james baldwin, “people evolve a language in order to describe and thus control their circumstances, in order to not be submerged by a reality they cannot articulate”. if you don’t have the right language, you cannot describe what is happening to you. you can’t call for help. you can’t beg for mercy. you don’t have the words to picture your future as different from your present.

third, no wonder bucky takes to pierce better than karpov. no wonder karpov needed specific words and pierce has many to control him. much has been said about how pierce tries to manipulate bucky with his words, like what weak points he presses on to try to keep bucky on track, how he uses language as weapon, and to top it all off, pierce literally speaks his language.

i am chewing on glass.

just hawkeye things✨

[ID: a digital drawing of Clint barton from the waist up. He’s singing the circle of life from the lion king and holding his dog (lucky) above his head. lucky looks like a golden retriever/labrador dog and he’s wearing a light purple bandanna.

Clint is wearing gray sweatpants, a red hoodie with a silver star in middle, and he has a bandage wrapped around his left hand and across his nose. his bright purple hearings aids are wrapped around his ears and he has a huge grin on his face]

random things about comics!kate bishop

-the first time she met deadpool she broke a coffee pot over his head and then complimented his freddy kreuger makeup. clint then informed her that was just deadpool's face

-she pretty much forced her way onto the young avengers on a whim after saving them during a bungled rescue mission; this was her start as a superhero

-her stated reason for remaining a superhero is not wanting other people to feel afraid and unsafe the way she does

-she once got into an argument with a wall in front of the other young avengers

-captain america had jessica jones pass hawkeye's codename and bow on to kate after she stood up to him about his attitude towards the young avengers

-she dressed up as hawkeye from m*a*s*h one halloween

-the first time she met clint she hit him with a verbal smackdown that made him entirely rethink his latest life choice

-she thinks bucky's hot

-due to shenanigans she once met a younger clint barton. she said she'd knock him off a cliff if he hit on her; he said it might be worth it

-she instigated clint to help her rescue/kidnap three kids from shield by way of stealing a flying car, also from shield

-she uses finger guns without shame or irony

-she once hid in a tree to avoid a conversation she didn't want to have

-she's led two iterations of the young avengers and one iteration of the west coast avengers

-clint has called her the finest and most gifted bowman he's ever met; he has also thought "look at her, she's perfect"

-she once asked a librarian to help her steal music off the internet; it did not go well for her

Look out!

It is my headcanon that there is a gun on the table in this scene because The Winter Soldier has been trained to arm any of his handlers who are not already armed while in his presence so that, if they so choose, they can put him down at any time.

Later, it takes Steve months to figure out why Bucky gives him a knife every time they’re in the same room.

matt and foggy as holmes/watson based off that one interaction in vol 1
