I long for the alternate timeline where Erik is the murder cousin they don’t let talk at state dinners.

The reason they killed Loki in the first ten minutes is because Loki absolutely would not have hesitated to kill Vision, or steal the time stone.
Avengers: Someone’s killed Dr. Strange and Vision!
Loki, admiring his new necklace and glowing yellow paperweight: Tragic
Wanda: if we destroyed the mind stone it would kill Vision D:
Loki, already stabbing him: oh no
Thor: Hey, didn’t Midgard have a wizard around here earlier? Loki, you remember the wizard, right?
Loki, currently garroting Dr. Strange with the time stone: I don’t recall
If I never contribute anything else to the Black Panther fandom I still have no regrets (based on a tweet by @wrong_mchalla)
Luck isn’t a superpower. And certainly not very cnematic. Yes, it is.
peter-man and chair guy
excellent
so, uh
did anyone tell steve after he woke up from the ice that cigarettes cause cancer??
like
did that make the list of things they told him about or was it relegated to the list of things they didn’t bother with, like the fucking moon landing
steve rogers after the battle of new york: well that was stressful, anyone got a smoke i can bum?
everyone who grew up with anti-smoking PSAs: uh, you know those things can give you asthma, right?
steve rogers, asthmatic who was prescribed cigarettes by a doctor in the 40s: what
the japanese dub of ragnarok is one of my favorite things
Chadwick Boseman’s ground-breaking performance in Black Panther.
when the mcu tries to gently Just Good Pals steve and bucky i want to laugh at them because, like. they were the ones who structured their arc, from the very beginning, as a story about leaving a plucky sweetheart behind in the states when you ship out. it could have been lifted wholesale from practically any wartime romance filmed between 1940 and 1950. “i just wish they’d take me into the army too– i’d go with you, show that fuhrer a thing or two– just promise me you’ll take care!” “darling, don’t worry, you can do your part right here at home– it’s ever so important to the war effort!” it’s the theme of fucking “tender comrade” and “since you went away” and “mrs. miniver” and i could go on and on
the part where steve gets turned into a tall dangerous hillshire farms beef log is the surprising science fiction twist; but the part where he grumps about being Left Behind by a uniformed hottie is 1000% period-accurate romantic dramedy that could have been screenwritten by david o. selznick. i’m sorry mcu i don’t make the fucking rules. this is just how it is. give them their v-e day kiss already and let me rest
also THEY are the ones who put a searching-for-romance subplot in Winter Soldier where Steve says he just can’t find anyone with “shared life experience” 30 minutes before his lifelong best friend who is also a super soldier and was also frozen and also missed the last 70 years comes back from the dead
like what the fuck did they think they were trying to convey there
