Steve has lived through a world-ender before. At least, it was the end of the world for him. Everyone he knows and loves, gone in an instant. The ones who aren’t dead, warped by time and age.
It was not so simple as an instant this time.
writers whenever they’re starting a new fic: I have these ✨ vibes ✨ now I’ll have to build an entire plot and write an entire fic about those vibes
Instead of making up shitty racist headcanons about Miles shoplifting join me in headcanoning him picking up ballet because he thought Gwen being a ballerina was super neat and it would help him in his spiderman job
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.
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.
Thinking about this panel from Thunderbolts (2023) #2 today.
Bucky tearing down the Outer Circle was known in the supervillain community, and he’s (conveniently, in this case) considered one of them now. What’s really interesting to me is Nefaria’s comment to Natasha, “what a delight to see you back among your proper peers.”
They operate in such morally grey areas that it’s plausible for them to just waltz into the Hellfire Club with an invitation. And even if it’s just making small talk, I like the idea of villains being relieved that Nat and Bucky might finally stop coming after them.
Which they won’t. They’re just going do it in matching evening wear.
equal rights for women will never truly be achieved until we have more female noir detectives
