This is your friendly reminde that Steve Rogers is a gift in this earth and we should protect and appreciate him.

About Zemo’s vision. He met Steve earier and much closer in Germany and it’s a reference to that time. As for the phrase itself I thought it was not about eyes exactly (or not only about eyes) it was more about this difference between Steve Rogers and Captain America persona.

When I watched TWS I noticed one thing. When we see Cap’s painting in museum it’s so perfect in every way. What we see is a very beautiful angelic blond boy, so pure with those sky blue eyes directed upwards. It doesn’t have character. Because they didn’t want him to have personality. They wanted him to be a perfect symbol. They just made him a set of averaged “perfect“ (in someone’s opinion) characteristics in terms of his looks and personality. And Zemo just says that CapAm is a big lie if Steve Rogers is so real and imperfect as any mortal human.

PS I really hope I expressed my thoughts adequately because I’m not that good at English

Agreed. I’m so proud of everyone who was there with us. Today I for the first time in many years felt at home in the country that I love so much. Thanks, guys

You guys, I know, this blog isn’t about politics but I want you to know that there are Anti Corruption and Anti Putin and his system Protests all over Russia, literally 10000 people in big cities. I care deeply about Russian people wanting freedom, of our LGBT, feminist, liberal communities. They are being oppressed, shut down, closed and beaten by police, that should be protecting them. They stand against system. But russian massmedia chose not to talk about it. They are trying to prevent it by enforcing the police. The protest are huge. Please give them moral support too. This is much needed in current situation.

Why Do We Underrate Good Guys?

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 don’t think I’ve seen an answer to the question of how close or far apart the things happening today (”send her back”, detention centers etc) are to the nazis quite as good or thorough as this answer on quora
