#anon something

Uh, Kat, whoever you are and if you're out there, this person says hello and that you're still a bitch from what they've seen.

2/2 and I'm grateful for the hard work the actors and people behind the scene put in doing the MCU and as I always believed for everything in books, movies, series, etc fan fiction is there to make things as you would like or with a different AU. So for me Steve got Nat back when he returned the soul stone and I understand Tony's ending even if I don't like it, and if the decision for the ending brings us more characters and screen time with the rest of the cast I'm not gonna complain about it

All fine points and all things I pretty much agree with. 

I hated Nat’s treatment and felt that Clint should have been the one to die on Vormir.  The attempted parallels between Nat’s sacrifice to Gamora’s murder fell flat and either the intentional or unintentional idea that Clint should survive over her bc he had a family is irksome. In fact, all the implications that happy endings mean having a family is meh. 

For me, Tony’s death, while undeniably sad and heartbreaking, also felt very cathartic. For someone who would have died in a cave to die, instead, saving the entire universe, Tony really became the person he wanted to be. But that’s me. 

The lack of Vision actually surprised me. I’m not so sure who Wanda is talking about at the very end with her discussion with Clint when he says that he wishes there was a way to tell her ((Nat, obviously)) that they’ve won and she replies with “She knows. They both do.” Does she mean Nat and Tony or Nat and Vision? My assumption is Vision, bc, of course, Tony knows. He saw it happen. But then, they never explicitly say that so all I can go on is my assumption. 

Thor’s treatment all around was offensive. It could have been avoided had they handled it with care and kindness, instead of making fun of him. Depression and any of the fallout from depression is no laughing matter and neither is fat-shaming. The only thing I think they did right by Thor is that he was still worthy, proving that depressed, out-of-shape, fat, doesn’t matter. Anyone can be worthy. That and also he didn’t “magic” himself back into shape and was still ultimately just as badass when it came down to it. But, yeah, otherwise that was a no-no for me. 

I, too, am a stucky shipper. But like you said, I’m happy that Steve and Peggy were happy with each other in the end. All I’ve ever wanted was to see Steve end a movie happy and not dead and I got that. Not quite in the way I wanted, but I still got it. So, yeah. 

The aging thing still has me scratching my head, yeah. The serum should have kept him young. Clearly, they were just trying to do something to get Chris Evans done and out and that’s the direction they went. 

And, like you, I’m so grateful to those who have made all of this possible, even if there are things I didn’t care for. All their hard work has served us for the past 10 years and without them, there’d be none of this. 

like the tweets?

Oh, I’m really sorry, I honestly didn’t mean to come across as rude in any way. My apologies for that, it was never my intention. Your ask was a little confusing and I was simply trying to answer it as best and briefly as I could without inciting a riot based upon a delicate topic. 

Based upon your ask, I think you sent it bc that twitter feed post came out of my queue recently and maybe you were also referencing another post that held an entirely different viewpoint. But, I’m really not on any high horse, I promise you. that. Both posts were made by people of the same demographic expressing their opinions on the same thing. They’re both allowed that. 

One side is okay with the movie, liked it, wanted to support it. Which is totally within their right. The other side, however, did not support it and felt offended by it. Yes, they were bashing Matt Damon bc he’s Matt Damon, a well-established actor, writer, and producer with plenty of job security who doesn’t need to be taking jobs like that. 

Sure, there’s a difference between Asian film makers who, to borrow your term, “want to get a slice of the pie” and white america film makers who whitewash and stick to stereotypes etc. But that’s still a problem, don’t you think? That Matt Damon ((just using him since he’s who we’re talking about)) has to be the advertised protagonist to bring people in? So maybe this was done differently and was more of a bait and switch, but it’s not just this, y’know? It’s this and Ghost in the Shell and Aloha and Lucy and Avatar: the Last Airbender and Dragon Ball Z and Doctor Strange etc. This is just one link in a long chain and some people are just angry. 

Like, okay, as an example of my own personal experiences, the remake of Ghostbusters was thrilling for me. I loved it, supported it, I want more like it. There are plenty of other women who feel 100% differently, but I don’t want them silencing me. Branching from the same issue, women of color shouldn’t have me silencing them when they say ‘hey, cool that star wars has had two female leads now, but can’t we exist in a galaxy far far away, too?’ 

You say that your ask was about info that could be wrong, but the thing is, if these posts are opinions ((not saying that opinions can’t be wrong, we all -- most of us anyway -- know that)) based on something of a gray-ish area, then no info can really be wrong. My answer was simply pointing out my desire of not wanting to silence those who I feel shouldn’t be silenced more.
