Steve Rogers in CA:CW + the values of Captain America
I saw a gifset about how Tony might be a better embodiment of Cap’s values in CA:CW than Steve is. I wanted to show how, at least for me, Steve still represents those values.
Been linked to the joke of leaving out milk and cookies for Cap on this day, the 4th of July. I’d like to take it a step further and believe Cap comes out of our grills to collect his tribute of hot dogs and apple pie. It’s the American way.
Happy 99th Birthday, Steve Rogers!!
OMG this is the best XD
stevetony will never be canon, keep dreaming
there goes all my hopes cRUSHED, anon. all of this time spent shipping them meANINGLESS. empty. how will i gO ON knowing that they will never be elevated to the mythic untouchable status of canon. it’s so sad that all i have is
steve riding tony
steve defending naked tony’s honor
the way tony likes to launch himself face first at steve in order to protect him
tony stark: steve rogers’ personal chauffer
it’s
kind of
a thing
for them
but let’s not forget
steve carries tony out of burning buildings in the bridal carry
in fact steve guest stars in an iron man comic just to carry tony out of a burning building
the fireman’s carry is actually reserved for the cartoon
marvel funded & created a CGI animation film featuring 71 minutes of them sassing each other and taking names
once upon a time the current writer for the avengers, jonathan hickman (2012-present) implied that tony’s method of choice to make up to steve were blowies
and yes he might be torturing us all but at least he’s man enough to admit that the avengers is really about their relationship
and is that surprising i mean there’s an entire comic that’s based on a narrative arc, again, aBOUT THEM
comic writer brian michael bendis on how avengers: prime was framed as an adventure they had to go on to remind them why they love each other so much
here it is in tony’s own words
tony looking like he’s having a religious experience and seen the light or smth while being hugged by steve
60′s comics written like all the best terrible fanfiction where tony stark refers to steve rogers’ eyes as clear azure and composes poetry about his grace and daring
“i know you believe in the future, but i believe in people. and i choose to believe in your, iron man.”
retro comics were just really gay
animated tv show avengers assemble opens with steve facing off against red skull, his presumed “death” is the catalyst for tony reforming the avengers. their mid-season finale ended with tony “almost dying”
not very pg-13 for a kids’ show if you ask me
it’s really also extremely gay
tony stark no. 1 fanboy
in all the universes
what’s his username? captain america. what’s his password? captain america. foolproof. no one would ever guess. totally unhackable.
avengers tower: home and HQ of the earth’s mightiest heroes but also the site of the one and only “cap tribute room”
all the best superhero bases have framed portraits of captain america it’s interior designing 101
in fact tony thinks steve’s pretty no matter what skintight navel-bearing costume he’s wearing
tony thinks ultimates cap just so happens to be america’s hottest president
“CAPTAIN HANDSOME”
“good morning beloved” to which steve answers without even batting an eye
are they flirting??? was there really another horse?? we just don’t know
“where is here? is this a dream? tell me it is, tony. tell me you can wake me. tell me i’m not going to die in my sleep. don’t let this old soldier just fade away” – marvel comics?? or soap opera love story?? who can even tell the difference???
pictured: assorted superheroes with representatives from the avengers, the fantastic four, the x-men discussing how much tony and steve love each other while in the background steve and tony have a conversation
a married couple and leaders of the next generation of avengers referring to steve and tony as the mother and father of the avengers
sometimes they hold hands
actual canon universe earth-3490 where cis female tony married steve and their marriage helped end the civil war.
“mr. stark, when i woke up in this era, i had no one, nothing. you gave me a purpose, somewhere to belong. you gave me a home.”
tony and steve’s lips have touched bc tony was giving him cPR TO SAVE his life at the risk of his own
tony referring to the day he met steve as the greatest day of his life
civil war: the confession. where tony stark admits to steve rogers’ cold dead body that worse than the equivalent of selling his soul, alienating half of his friends and family from him, destroying his moral integrity combined, the one thing he couldn’t live with was steve being dead
“maybe… maybe there was a reason you had to be on the other side of every argument. how you could be my rudder, steering me when other’s couldn’t… i don’t know if i can do it without you… i certainly won’t do it as well…”
like they’re standing there reincarnated as walking corpses and steve’s missing half his face and they’re still acting like an old married couple
“guess they’ll have to learn to love me. you did.”
they jOKE ABOUT HAVING THE KIND OF ROUGH SEX THAT REQUIRES SAFEWORDS.
why dream when i have all this cold hard reality staring me in the face
He is so badass in this. Love this guy.
MULTIPLE CONTUSIONS DETECTED.
Why do people like to dismiss genuinely good, optimistic and sweet characters as ‘boring’ or ‘lame’ and make up these ridiculous claims about how they’re not as good enough characters as the sociopathic assholes of every fandom?
1. Why is Ron Weasley kicked to the curb in favor of glorifying the racist and douchey behavior of Draco Malfoy, not even the person Malfoy could become after the War but the smug, elitist, classist, bully we all knew?
Why is Ron, who filled a hole in Harry’s life immediately, became his friend for who he was not for being The Boy Who Lived, who asked his mother to make him a jumper, rescued him from his abusive relatives, got his family to more or less adopt Harry and followed him to hell and back, not get this much attention?
2. Why is Remus Lupin, with all his silent suffering, well-meaning influence, heartbreak, loneliness and love ignored in favor of a sadistic asshole like Snape?
Snape, who spent ages encouraging prejudice, emotionally-abusing Neville, Harry and Hermione and thinking he was entitled to Lily Evans’ love just because he was passably nice to her until he called her a racial slur and then wanted to trade Harry and James’ lives for Lily, thinking he could still have her like she was a possession. He gets Harry’s son named after him and called the Bravest Man.
3. Why is Loki always made out to be this poor misunderstood baby who gets thousands of metas dedicated to why he went on a murderous rampage and wanted to subjugate an entire race and slaughter his own, and act like they weren’t childish outbursts just because he envied Thor?
Why is his villainy always downplayed, his being a monster ignored, in favor him being treated like he’s a better person than Thor, who is dismissed as a ‘boring oaf’ despite being loving enough to want to protect and save Loki after he tried to kill him, their father and millions of humans? Why isn’t he allowed to be the asshole villain he is while Thor is the hero he is?
4. Why did people spend ages after Captain America: the Winter Soldier came out claiming Sam Wilson/Falcon was a HYDRA agent when all he did was be someone who understood Steve as a soldier and truly wanted to help him as a hero and help his hero.
Meanwhile, Brock Rumlow got various redemption theories because he flinched that one time Pierce was erasing Bucky’s memory.
5. Why did that badly-written, murderous, obnoxious, psychopath Theo get more love, attention, interest and ships than Scott McCall himself?
The same goes for Uncle Peter, who was shipped with Lydia and Stiles more than Scott, who has established and loving relationships with? Why is Scott being the all-loving hero such a bad thing?
6. Let’s round up with heroes that are always dismissed by many fans for not being as edgy, angsty or ‘dark’ as their counterparts, Batman and Iron Man.
– Superman, or as we know him, Clark Kent is such a good man, you guys, even when humans feared him, hated him, blamed him for the destruction he saved them from and wanted to capture him and experiment on him because he’s an alien, he still gave enough of a damn to continue saving them.
He got a paranoid nut like Bruce Wayne to open up to him, get Mr. ‘I Work Better Alone’ to set up the League and try his best to help everyone on this godforsaken planet despite the fact that he lost his own and is alone in the universe.
Clark never forgets that despite the fact that he’s the closest thing to a god, that he’s a farmboy from Kansas, because without that tether to humans and their vulnerability and dependance on him he could become the monster Zod is. That hardly gets appreciated!
– Captain America may have faced a boost in popularity lately, but he’ll never get the worship Tony’s increasing petulance and OOC mischaracterization in the Avengers movies. After the Avengers came out there were so many people hating on Steve for daring to argue with Tony, shitting on him for not being sassy like Tony and Loki, for being from the past, making claims that he’s automatically racist, homophobic and misogynistic even though he’s anything but!
Steve Rogers automatically respected Peggy as a woman and a fellow soldier and does the same with Natasha, he formed the Howling Commandos which included a Brit, a Frenchman, an Asian man and a black man and he was in the army for fuck’s sake, he’s made of tougher stuff so of course he swears, has killed people and has seen men partner up in more ways than one. He went against his orders as a soldier to do the right thing, to save captive soldiers, to save New York from being destroyed and save millions from being killed by HYDRA, including Tony himself. What does he get? Old Man Jokes!
I’m not saying we can’t like asshole characters or the proverbial Jerks With Hearts of Gold, but we need to stop acting like the be all and end all of good, admirable characters are the sadists, jerks, the angst-ridden bad boys and self-destructive types. Let’s be honest, yes, they’re fascinating but you wouldn’t to be their friend in real life, they’d exhaust you or end up killing you.
Good people with good intentions deserve love too. Being a good person, being nice, being friendly all the time consistently is hard, being a hero is even harder.
Show these guys some love, please.
I feel like this game's mission is bringing every stony fanfiction to life
Steve would be the only one to render Tony speechless…
First of all, ugh. Second, whyyyyyyy?
I am a huge fan of strong women being portrayed strong and independent in movies. Seriously, we need more of those women. What I absolutely hate is people believing a woman has to be a perfect know-it-all in order to be strong. Just, no. In writing, mainly fanfiction, this is called a “Mary Sue”. For those who don’t know, a Mary Sue is a character that is perfect. She knows everything, can do everything, is super brave and loved and wanted by literally everyone.
Now, the reason I’m putting this first is that so far I feel like Sharon Carter is going to be a Mary Sue. Not in the actual sense of course, because in fanfiction a Mary Sue is most of the time the author in a much more perfected version, but in a larger, a little modified sense.
Sharon’s been bugging me since her very first appearance in Return Of The First Avenger which is fascinating since she has really little screentime. So allow me to explain myself a little further.
As of now what we’ve seen of Sharon is:
her being super nice
apparently Nat approving of her since when on the Lemurian Star she asks Steve if maybe he wants to ask out the nurse who lives across the hall from him and at the end of the movie she asks Steve to call her because “she’s nice” (and honestly Nat is not exactly the person to approve of people easily)
her being super brave since she speaks up against Sitwell and demands to know why S.H.I.E.L.D. should be hunting Steve and later on she stands up against Brock Rumlow to stop the launch of the Helicarriers
her being a perfect shot when she practices shooting at the CIA shooting range
I know she didn’t have much screentime yet but everything we’ve seen so far puts her into a pretty perfect light. I’m also taking the one short moment from Civil War we’ve already seen into consideration where she apparently goes up against Bucky which is something no person in their right mind would do because HIGHLY TRAINED AND PROFESSIONAL KILLER.
This is a no-no in my eyes. It couldn’t have been that hard to just have her keep her mouth shut when Sitwell demands S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to hunt Captain America. It also wouldn’t have killed anyone to have her miss a few shots on that shooting range, she’s no Hawkeye after all.
As of now, she just seems too perfect in my eyes. I am of course always up for being proven wrong but everything just looks a little to peachy at the moment. A character with flaws who actually can’t do whatever he wants and get it right at the first try is much more interesting.
Something I’m also having a problem with: they seem to try to turn her into another Black Widow. Outfit-wise. When I looked at those new promo pictures I had to take a second look to realises I wasn’t looking at two Black Widows but in fact Natasha and Sharon. It looks a little like they took Nat’s outfit and photoshopped Sharon’s head on it. No. Just no. That’s not how we do it. If you want Sharon to be a super badass and respectable character make her a unique on and don’t copy something that’s already there.
But major difference character-wise: Nat has flaws. She struggles. Things go wrong for her. She has a heart-wrenching past, that thing with Bruce didn’t work out entirely as planned. She’s stubborn. She makes mistake. As far as we know Sharon is pretty perfect overall. Badass fighter, brave woman, she gets Captain America (come on, we can still turn this around and pretend it won’t and never will be a thing… please). Seems pretty great to me. But this is a character I don’t want to see. I want and need characters I can identify with, not a perfect Miss Plastic.
One more thing about this matter and then I shut up: Steve doesn’t need a love interest. Honestly. In my eyes it would be amazing to let a character like Steve Rogers stay single. For one because he doesn’t need it. Second, it would be amazingly representative. There are so many young people out there who still believe they need to be in a relationship to be happy or have some kind of worth. Seeing a man like Captain freaking America not be in a relationship would be incredibly reassuring and soothing.
I mean, just think about it. That man looks like a god and has a great personality (though even Captain America has his flaws). Everyone would expect him to be in a relationship. So take the chance, surprise everyone and let him stay single. Because yes, he’s basically perfect but that doesn’t mean everyone will immediately fall into his arms.
Okay, I think I’m done now. I’ll make an additional post if more comes to mind.
i fucking love steve rogers and nothing any of you say will change that. i love him w/ my entire being and i’ll protect him at all costs bc he’s a genuinely good person who looks out for people and doesn’t just cater to governments who he knows are 99% of the time never looking out for the people. he hates bullies and he literally has the super soldier serum bc he’s a genuinely nice, kindhearted person who watches out for others no matter the risk to himself. mcu steve rogers is a kind man with a heart of gold who’s fiercely protective of his friends when they’re threatened. idc what any of you have to say!!!!!! talk all the shit you want about him but that doesn’t change anything about who he is and i love him
