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.

So when Agatha woke up and realized Nicky wasn't next to her, that the thing she'd been dreading all these years had finally happened. How many times was it the reverse? How many times did she fall asleep to nightmares of just that scenario, of him just suddenly gone like he never existed, completely out of her reach, no way to stop it or even say goodbye. How many times did she have that nightmare only to wake up to him still tucked up next to her, his warmth and his scent still there, her still able to pull him closer and feel his heartbeat?
How many times did that happen? And when it finally happened for real, how long did it take for Agatha to fully accept that this wasn't another nightmare, that she'd never wake up next to him again, never feel that relief she'd felt every day for 6 years when she realized he was still there?
How many times after that did she wake up and still reach for him in those first moments when she's still more asleep than awake, still reach out for him and say his name only to open her eyes and wake up properly, and be trapped once again in a reality where her son's been gone 5 years, 10 years, 100 years, 200? How many times over the centuries has she reached for him in those first moments of consciousness only to realize that she's alone again, still, always?

This is EXACTLY why Bucky Barnes is my favorite character and it brings me so much joy to finally see a little bit of it on screen.
Did they ever reveal how Captain America was thawed? Because I’m picturing a bunch of Shield agents with hair dryers and I don’t think that’s quite right.
The Asset is a flawed machine. He is the shattered pieces of what may have at one point in time qualified as a ‘person’. Sentiment is a malfunction. They tell him this and he knows it, yet he repeats the same mistakes over again, wipes be damned.
His handlers are very wise. They have created methods to counteract the corrosion of his loyalty.
My question is: what is Steve Rogers’s body count? … We don’t talk about that a lot because he’s an American Hero ™ and American Heroes don’t ever actually kill people even when they’re, you know, soldiers in the actual fucking Army. The American Hero has to show mercy and give everybody a second chance and any time the Bad Guy dies, it has to be because he made a mistake that lead to his own death. The hero can never actually just fucking murder him in our stories because that would be wrong and a true American would never do something like that.
So, like, has Steve Rogers ever shot a dude in the face? Has he ever snapped anybody’s neck? Has he ever been struggling for his own life and used his shield to take a life?
If you have either canon comics knowledge or just Opinions and Feelings, please feel free to share. Because, like, dude was a soldier in WWII on the European Front fighting Nazis, kicking open doors with gun literally blazing, so he’s obviously killed people, but we never discuss this. How does Steve reconcile killing? Does he feel guilt? Is he comfortable with his actions? Has he killed people since he got pulled out of the ice? How does he feel about taking human lives? Does he talk to anybody about it? Does he just internalize it and let it eat him up inside?
