What’s poppin my dudes? So a small little thing was brought to my attention after I watched a deleted scene from The Avengers. I think you know the one. If not then I posted it down below.
So I watched this video and some stuff caught my attention. I spoke to my friends about this and they agreed with me. It was a long rant that left me mad salty.
This will be continued while I look for the rant.
So I found everything and oof. Just reading it makes me salty. I know there’ll be people out there that don’y agree with me, but I don’t really care. I wanted to post this here and show you guys my opinion on this whole thing.
Also sorry but this whole thought process is out of order.
This is basically the gist of it.
So the video is one thing, it’s small but vv important.
I feel so bad for Steve. Cause one second he’s ya know sacrificing himself for the greater good, then next thing he knows it’s the 21 century. Like its a shame that they cut this scene out cause it’s important to Steve as a person. As a character. We never saw how he was doing. How he was coping.
This man experienced a cultural shock of unimaginable proportions.
And like I get it. I get why they cut this scene.
Because it’s not important to the storyline. But since A1 (The Avengers) came out, Marvel made no moves to show how Steve was coping. Not in Cap 2 or Cap 3. If they weren’t gonna include it anywhere they should’ve at least put it at the end of Cap 1. Like the last 5 mins of the movie. Or maybe as a credit scene, ya know?
It might not be important to the storyline. But it’s important to Steve as a person, as a character.
His character went through so many arcs and still is
But Steve? No. He went through a handful and that’s it. Americas Poster Boy>Wanted Criminal. And then what? What was his arc in A3? He didn’t really have one.
He shows up for not a whole 10 mins, saves Wanda and that’s mostly it.
Like Tony went through so many. Playboy>POW Survivor>Iron Man>Iron Man Without The Suit>Mentor>Father Figure>World’s Mightiest Defender.
Like I understand that RDJ’s Tony Stark started the whole MCU in 2008 with IM1.
Steve Rogers started the whole thought process on the Avengers Initiative
Marvel is overlooking my boy. They have so much potential with Steve. But they decided to stick with Tony. and don;t get me wrong. I love Tony Stark. I do. But give his character a break and focus on improving someone else. Maybe focus on the character who started it all. Captain Fucking America.
If not Cap then maybe Wanda or Clint.
Like let’s start with Wanda. They make her so dependent on the men in her life. They make her seem weak. Which is messed up because she’s so fucking powerful! We saw her potential in A3
Then there’s Clint. They did Hawkeye so dirty. He was in three movies then vanished. Like lets be real if he was in A3 they would’ve beaten that purple grape. And I’m not just saying that because apparently in each movie that Hawkeye was in they won, and every movie he wasn’t in they lost. I’m saying that because Hawkeye literally beats that purple jellybean in the comics.
They did so many characters dirty.
AND ANOTHER THING WITH STEVE. The fact that Steve had no one there to help him cope with the cultural shock is so fucked up.
Also - Steve was in is 20s during the 1940s. Fucking WW2. Then he crashes his plane into the Arctic to hide the Tesseract (WHICH WAS STILL FUCKING USED USED A WEAPON IN AVENGERS 1). Then when he woke up it was the 2010s. BUT HOW CAN HE KNOW THAT? FOR STEVE IT WENT FROM THE 40s TO THE 10s IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. HE WAS IN ICE FOR 70 YEARS AND HE HAD NO IDEA. THE WORLD CONTINUED WITHOUT HIM. SO HE WAKES UP AND THIS WHOLE NEW WORLD JUST SMACKS HIM IN THE FACE.
And like Marvel is usually so keen to details
Like can you imagine how that messed with Steve’s mental stability? Everyone focuses on Tony and his PTSD. But what Steve? He was the subject of an experimental drug/procedure that could’ve potentially killed him. But he did it anyway because he wanted to fight for America and everything it stands for. He was literally in the war. Then in the blink of an eye it’s the 21 century and there’s all these new sounds, smells, lights, gadgets, cars and all that crap. Blacks are friends with whites. Lesbians. Gays. Trans people. All this crap could’ve gotten someone killed in the 40s or arrested. And here he is seeing it for himself with his own eyes. Can you imagine how much these small things broke his mind?
Like Marvel needs to give Tony a break. AND TONY AND STEVE ARE POTENTIALLY DYING IN A4 ANYWAY! THEY MISSED THEIR PRIME OPPORTUNITIES
Thank you that’s all. Thanks for coming to my TED talk
