Lines That Were Conspicuously Missing in Civil War

In no particular order:

“…but you’re Peggy’s niece, and that’s a little weird. Also, we were just at her funeral, so maybe let’s talk in a year.”

“Hey, here are some FDR pens you might like. Also, wasn’t Bucky brainwashed by Hydra? I have this memory-correcting software called BARF, maybe we could give that a whirl.”

“You were going to NUKE New York City, and you’re upset because we knocked over a few buildings?”

“Ultron as going to kill everyone, and you’re upset because we knocked over a few buildings?”

“Wasn’t keeping track of the Hulk your job, General Ross?”

“Wait, what’s this about no lawyers and a fucking ‘raft prison?’ I’m not signing this bullshit.”

“I love you.”

“I love you, too.”

“Wait, where was your dad even going with all that supersoldier serum?”

“What’s in the backpack?”

“So you got your shield back, and Falcon got his wings, but where’s my backpack?”

“Was that a glossy headshot of me in your journal, or are you just happy to see me?”

“Nobody puts Bucky in the freezer.’

“How many lives did we save in each of those places? Oh, you can’t count that high? Okay, then.”

“You want us to trust the government? As in, the government that previously sponsored an organization infiltrated by HYDRA? You say HYDRA is gone now and we can trust you? Are you sure you’re not HYDRA? Forgive me if I don’t take your word for it.”

“Tony, you blackmailed a child to help you fight superheroes with out even explaining why”

“And there are other super soldiers just like him.” // “Wait, what? Shit. Okay. Tell me what’s going on.”

“How did you get a small book’s worth of accords drafted and AGREED ON by 117 countries within the space of a month? When did Congress ratify this? Why were we not informed that this was happening? Why are you springing this on us three days before you present it to the UN? I ain’t signing SHIT until my lawyer looks this over.”

“You’re welcome for preventing the theft and sale of a biological WMD by the way.”

“Joke’s on you Zemo; I also read the files that Natasha publicized for the whole fucking world to see two years ago; I already know that Barnes killed my parents while being mind controlled and while I am not okay I understand that he cannot reasonably be held responsible for their deaths.”

“I’m not the only Winter Soldier.” // “Yeah we know; it was in the files that Natasha publicized for the whole fucking world to see two years ago. We took care of it.”

“Who the fuck TEXTED me to tell me Peggy died” *calls that number* “what the FUCK is your problem.”

“You are worth EVERYTHING, Bucky.”

so like, when magneto had a fucking ray gun designed to eliminate prejudices in people and the only one it didn’t work on was, you guessed it, Steve Rogers, you’re trying to tell me that he was a fucking nazi the whole time? 

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS!!!

See, here’s the thing.

Growing up, I was a sick kid. All the hereditary diseases and every possible medical problem and deficiency you could think of, I had them. I spent half the time in hospitals. I tried new experimental drugs all the time in hopes that something would turn up that could cure my disease. While it wasn’t malignant - it’s a problem where some of my motor nerves ‘freeze’ and stop working for short periods - it was painful. I have a portable morphine drip that I carry with me at all times because I never know when I might have one of my ‘attacks’.

Point is, my condition was bad.

I was 8 years old when my cousin gave me my first Captain America comic. Suddenly I was reading about this character who had this frail, skinny body and who wanted to make a difference, to help and fight for his country, but was rejected because he was sick and weak. But despite that, he pushed through. And then he got his miracle drug, the one that made him human perfection. One that made him healthy .

You can see how that affects a kid who saw more of a hospital room than the inside of her own bedroom.

Captain America - Steve Rogers - was more than a fictional character for me. In my lowest moments, I drew strength from him. I reminded myself every time the doctor’s tried a new therapy for me that Steve Rogers got his miracle recovery, I could get mine. This comic superhero was my sanity more often than not.

But more than that, he was, still is, my role model.

Because the Steve Rogers I fell in love with was a brave man who overcame obstacles, who fought back against the injustice that nature meted out to him. He didn’t let anything deter him from doing what he believed in - not even his own frail body. Even after a miracle recovery, after he reached the pinnacle of human perfection, he maintained his humility and modesty. He stands for all the classical virtues like honesty, loyalty, courage, honour… He inspired people, whether they were soldiers who followed him in war or young readers who followed his adventures on page and big screen.

He inspired me to be the best person I could be. He inspired me to not give up despite all the times I wanted to, to persevere through the pain and the drugs and the surgeries and every time the cruel nurses teased me for having half my head shaved off. More than that, he inspired me to always do the right thing.

This Captain America, the epitome of goodness and kindness and courage and honesty, is not Hydra. He can never be a double agent, a traitor, to me. I refuse to acknowledge a world where Captain America doesn’t stand for the ideals and virtues that mankind has aimed to achieve since the dawn of time.

My Captain America is a superhero. But more than that, he’s a hero . Always has been and always will be.

when I find myself in times of trouble my fave superhero comes to me speaking words of wisdom..

venusrobots:

Here’s a thought, and I know. It’s revolutionary.

Maybe this is not a show that was made FOR YOU.

Supergirl received the highest ratings of any new show this fall, including among young male audiences. Looks like that “feminist agenda” was pretty popular.

Aren’t we all?

NEVER FORGIVE NEVER FORGET

Potential ‘Jessica Jones’ spoilers But I feel like this needs to be said now (TW: rape):

Before we get into ‘Jessica Jones’, here’s your reminder that Zebediah ‘Purple Man’ Killgrave is an evil, manipulative, mind-controlling rapist and an absolutely loathsome individual that should not be respected or woobified because David Tennant is playing him. 

Enjoying Tennant’s performance as Killgrave is one thing, trying to make excuses for Killgrave and any of his deplorable actions because he’s played by Tennant is another.

Please don’t.

I’m also saying this now out of care so that rape survivors who are not familiar with the Jessica Jones world- especially those who have no knowledge about the Purple Man character- know what they’re getting into before they watch the show. 

I want y’all to know that this show may have a lot of triggers when it comes to rape and manipulation so please take heed when viewing if you do decide to watch the show.

Kudos to the OP. This has been one of my worries surrounding the series. Glad to see more and more people speak out on the subject.

Reasons you should be excited for AKA Jessica Jones

For everyone chatting shit about Renner (◡‿◡✿)

Okay THIS is super important, I’m glad I’ve seen this!

Dear Marvel,

Please put Jeremy Renner in the trash where he belongs. We love Hawkeye though, so here are some continuity suggestions for MCU:

Thank you for your time.

Me on a date: Do you watch Agent Carter?

Date: No, I don’t think Peggy is as interesting as the male superhe-

Me: 

OH MY GOD they won the meme everyone go home

Steve and Tony chat, play basketball, go after spam callers, and fight incompetent villains. It’s not a date. Really. Or maybe it is and they just haven’t figured it out yet. Marvel Adventures: Avengers #27

Marvel Studios Pushes Captain Marvel’s Release date to 2019

Use your Google fu at the words “Marvel” and “female led films” and you’ll find out quickly that the studio, part of the Disney empire, has some challenges with making movies with female leads.

Black Widow has appeared as co-star in multiple movies in Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), but the franchise’s guru Kevin Feige has apparently absolutely no desire to give the character her own movie.

Despite the questioning of that choice, Marvel had an out. Last October 28 they announced that Captain Marvel would get her own movie in July of 2018. 

See they even made a banner announcing the date. Go Marvel!

Let’s see you announced the movie on October 28 and then three and half years later you have a movie. Easy Peasy. And how cool she gets the summer blockbuster slot of a 4th of July weekend. Woot! Marvel. Women. Movies. Happening! (but still hearing all the reasons that there won’t be a Black Widow movie.)

But wait did I say July 6? Whoops! When Spider-Man was brought back to the Marvel Universe something had to move and so in February of 2015  Captain Marvel got pushed out to November 2, 2018. 

Okay that’s okay. Now they have over four years since they announced the movie (October 28, 2014) to make the movie. So let’s get that script done! And they announced a terrific team in April. Okay, so that’s cool. The movie is over three years away. Plenty of time to write a script and get it made. Woot.

November 2, 2018 here we come!

Nope. Yesterday Marvel announced that Captain Marvel’s third release date - March 8, 2019. 

Why you ask? Well to make room for the Ant-Man sequel. That’s right, Ant-Man will have his second movie out before Captain Marvel.

But here’s the thing that made me laugh. In their announcement Marvel proudly stated the following about the sequel called Ant-Man and Wasp:

The sequel will mark the first Marvel Studios film named after its heroine. Yes, they said that by giving second billing to Wasp. 

Ten years. It’s been ten years since Kevin Feige started building out his Marvel Universe. And after ten years you get the back half of the title and claim a “first” for a female character (or heroine) in the same release you announce you are giving the third release date to the ONLY film that has been announced with a female lead.

Frankly I think the chances we’ll actually see a Captain Marvel are just slightly better than we’ll see at Black Widow movie. 

Oh they’ll announce something about the movie in the next 20 days or float the name of a director or we’ll hear that they are testing leads.

But then? 

Three and half years is a long time. 

I expect Feige could find four or five male characters to give movies to so expect that date to move.

Every time I see this gifset I think of some moment in the lives of the Avengers where a reporter asks Sam a really racist question and Sam starts to call him out and everyone looks at Steve, expecting he’s going to step in to “calm things down” and Steve’s just standing there like “You did this to yourself, asshole, I’m not doing shit except holding his flower.” 

If you're pissed about Marvel neglecting Clint Barton's deafness in the comics and making him a "normal hearing person" in the movies then reblog.

Seems like barely anyone even cares about the clear and blatant ableism in the movies

My cousin is 75% deaf and losing what he has rapidly. He’s also 7 years old. I remember the day he came up to me with his flurry of hands and slurred speech because everyone was buying his brother spider man stuff and he didn’t have a super hero like him. And I remember leaning in front of him, pulling his hearing aids out and signing the best i could to him about Hawkeye being deaf, and how he was still a super hero and his deafness didn’t make him any less. Granted, it was choppier than that because my signing isn’t spectacular. But his big eyes lit up and he went off running to his dad about Hawkeye. And when he saw the movie, he was so excited, he thought Hawkeye would be signing in the movie. And when he wasnt, when He barely had any lines and when he was hearing, it broke his heart.

Dont tell me ableism isn’t a big deal, or that representation doesn’t matter. Deaf Hawkeye made that little boy feel accepted and happy and the movies stole that from every deaf little boy and girl.
