Fuck Yeah Characters of Color

Crystal Yu as Madame Ching

Sam doesn’t like taking orders, he’s not pliant or obedient. He does what he believes is right and damn the rules (sound familiar??). Theres a reason they fucking hit it off so well right from the start.

Following that we have Steve turning up on his doorstep looking like a building got dropped on him. And what does Sam do?

Yeah sure… I’ll let a couple of avengers who just told me everybody is out to kill them into my house. Sounds like a good time. It’s also a bit telling that Sam knows exactly where his suit is. Ten bucks says he’s actually tried to steal it before but couldn’t quite manage it on his own. 

And then we start getting into really no holds bar Sam:

Y'all like to forget Sam brought a two inch knife to a gun fight and won. Not to mention, he clearly walks around with a knife on him at all times… not just in his car, but on his person. 

Sam gives no fucks and will take you out. Winter soldier? Bitch try it

Some hydra fool who won’t stop talking Nazi nonsense?

Fuck this guy. he’ll take him on in nothing but a fucking t-shirt. 

Oh and remember that building that Steve jumped out of? Might as well top that by jumping out of the same one, just about 20 stories up.

Cool, cool, cool. 

Going feet first towards the rotor blades of a helicopter, knowing if you miss your legs are mulch?

No problem. 

Steve wants to track down an international maybe still brainwashed assassin?

When do we start?

And of course, this wouldn’t be complete without the penultimate Steve/Sam comparison. 

Marvel Gallery Unmasked Ironheart Figure

It took a billionaire genius with endless resources at his disposal to create the Iron Man suit. And it took a 15 year old MIT student to reverse-engineer all that fancy tech using stolen parts. She’s definitely a genius and a superhero - and Riri Williams has more than earned the right to be Ironheart. This limited edition unmasked statue reveals Marvel’s latest hero in all her glory! Originally a 2017 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive from Diamond Select Toys, we happen to have lucked into a small stash of them - and our good fortune is your opportunity! This diorama shows Ironheart blasting off from a techie-looking base, hovering on a swirl of translucent blue energy. Sculpted by Phil Ramirez.

I say that having watched BoJack Horseman. The difference is that BoJack is about mental health and cultural critique whereas Tuca & Bertie is about friendship and adulting. The former is cynical, the latter is indulgent. Both have merit. I just want more indulgence.
