Thor, post-coronation: heimdall you have committed treason quite frequently
Heimdall: yes, my king
Thor: can I trust you to commit treason against me should it become necessary?
Heimdall: of course, my king
Thor: you’re already planning treason, aren’t you
Heimdall: it’s how our government stays functioning
Thor: good, good. Well, don’t let me stop you, just make sure to surprise me when it happens
The first time he feels it, he doesn’t realize it for what it is.
It’s a whisper in his ear. Sinister, cruel. It sounds like Stick. It sounds like Fisk.
Matt shakes it off and goes on his day. It’s an anomaly. It’s trauma or a side effect from that hit he took last night. It’s an isolated incident.
Until it’s not.
Gwen Stacy is Spider-woman. And it’s good, right? Helping people, saving people?
Except nobody ever sat Gwen Stacy down and said you can’t have it both and you can’t stop once you start and don’t you see you’re cannibalizing yourself?
She thinks she would have put on the mask anyway, eventually. But maybe she would have been a little more careful about it.
"It started out of nowhere. Odd- I thought I was doing everything right"
In which the Winter Soldier blows up Fury's phone and ops for code over interpretive dance.
Steve Rogers is a firm believer of museums giving back the artefacts that they stole, not only because he genuinely believes people deserve to have their things back, but also because the Smithsonian refuses to give him back he shit, and if he doesn't get his family recipe book his mother's jacket and his father's hat, god willing he will-
I love that we have two Spider-Verse movies, soon to be three, and not a single one of them has even so much implied that they're going to include Morlun, the interdimensional vampire who only eats people with spider powers, who was the reason for the Spider-verse crossover event that the movies are a loose adaptation of.
I love this because Morlun sucks and is a truly shitty character, in many ways being the pinnacle of all the things that one can do wrong when creating a new supervillain for a superhero who's had over half a century of adventures.
That Captain America Healing Factor is all well and good until someone on the team has to pin Steve down and re-break his arm because they didn’t splint it in time and it healed wrong. Until they have to dig a knife into his face and pull out glass fragments that his skin healed over in five minutes flat. Until he has to have surgery wide awake because no anaesthetic works and the only other option is a leather belt between his teeth and useless platitudes like its going to be okay Steve, I promise, it’ll be over soon.
