巴干的蝴蝶 (HAYA乐团)  

She wasn’t invited back for any more MCU films despite her character being pretty essential to Steve’s storyline. 

She wasn’t treated really nicely by Chris Ev/ans either. They obviously didn’t get along very well during the filming and Evans seemed to have a royal stick up his butt about getting her as a love interest because he was still on the Stegg/y boat, which I totally understand. I’d be sore too but he didn’t act really mature about it and continued to toss her under the bus. He talked back to her during press tours, called Staron ‘icky’ to her face, and really wasn’t too mature about it and made me lose a lot of respect for him. Not many of the other cast members talked nicely about her either except for RDJ and Anthony Mackie. (I have a suspicion Mackie REALLY wanted Sharon as Sam’s love interest.) She also got moved to Team Iron Man promo which many people were saying it’s because Sharon was supposed to be a wild card, which I’m sure that’s most of it but it’s still interesting that she NEVER did any press with Team Cap specifically. @clayappuzzo or @baloney-blake might be able to give you more info on that if you want. 

Evans also never really had anything nice to say about her and he’s always been great about all of his co-stars. It just seemed like he threw her right under the bus and didn’t defend her from the onslaught of crazy online hate she got.

She completely reformed the system in Alexandria, and Egypt at large; making it much more of a functional powerhouse. 

She did what 300 years of her ancestors couldn’t: Managed to get the support of both the Greek AND Egyptian subjects she ruled.

There is a sculpture that has been identified as her, through comparisons to coins minted under her rule, that proves beyond a doubt that she wasn’t particularly beautiful.

Even after Cleopatra died her influence on those around her lived on: her daughter, Cleopatra Selene, was the only child of Cleopatra’s to live to adulthood, and she became queen of Mauretania along with her husband Juba and it’s believed they married for love, which was extremely rare for that time period, especially among nobles/the upper class. Not only did she grow up in the house of her mother’s worst enemy and technical murderer, but she still went on to become a queen who possessed an equal amount of political power as her husband, even having her face minted on coins on the opposite side of his likeness, showing they were equal rulers.
