i just have so many thoughts and feelings about star wars and they're all swirling around my head like mosquitos leave me alone i can't sleep
“We are at the gates of human evolution.”
Is Clint so “I don’t know why I bite” coded because the closest thing to an apology he ever got out of his older brother was Barney letting Clint hit him under the guise of teaching Clint how to fight, so one of the first things he learned how to do was hurt the people he cares about?
Hmmm I think there were a lot of events in Clint’s life that have lead him to have this “bite first” reaction I think.
First with his alcoholic father. Clint really tried to make his father like him. He tried to be on his best behavior, did all his chores perfect, but his father still took his anger out on him. For a little kid who is maybe like 8-9 years old that’s very confusing.
Barney also lived in that household and I try to remember that he is just as much of a victim as Clint was. So Barney’s reaction to Clint’s fight with his father and his fear of watching Clint get more hurt might have lead him to teach Clint with his fists. It felt more like a fear reaction from Barney like “oh god my father is going to kill my little brother he needs to know how to use his hands. He’s figured out that dad is a piece of shit. It’s clicked and I need to keep him safe somehow”
But multiple trusted adult figures have betrayed and really hurt Clint so I think it’s just sort of built as a defense mechanism. He doesn’t really trust anyone with authority because of this. The Swordsman and Trick Shot like solidified this process for him I think. Later retcons had him shown in foster homes that weren’t great either so I think those probably proved young Clint right as well.
So I don’t think Barney started it really. I think his father started it by beating on his own loved ones and that’s what the boys saw. Clearly they grew and knew this was bad and not normal but I think it puts them on edge and so instead of trusting a hand that reaches out they bite it because they think it’s there to hit them or hurt them considering that’s all they’ve really known.
Magneto is so OP they had to make him in love with Charles to nerf him
