#team bruce

I suddenly found myself in dire need of a Bruce fix. Should anyone else be in a similar situation, here he is.

Why Bruce Could be on Team Cap Even Though He Probably Wouldn’t Be. (or why you shouldn’t call anyone’s theories in the fandom ridiculous. Don’t shame people for something they believe, no matter how stupid or ridiculous you think their ideas or theories are.) Most likely, I think Bruce Banner would just not get involved. He spent some number of years hiding out prior to the current MCU (the Edward Norton film is canon, remember that), avoiding taking accountability, and it would be just that easy to keep repressing the Other Guy and hide out somewhere, whether in Hawaii, Bermuda, or somewhere in New York under everyone’s noses with an assumed name. For that reason I don’t think he’d  sign the Accords, which essentially makes him Team Cap by default, mostly because if you’re not signing it, you’re automatically not Team Iron Man. And am I the ~only~ person in the fandom who finds his unmitigated hate for Wanda, who’s maybe 19 and wasn’t working under her own recognizance, a little out of character? I mean, he doesn’t spend The Incredible Hulk trying to kill General Ross, and he certainly has more reason to. He’s pretty much a pacifist. So the idea that he would seriously consider strangling a teenage girl because of something she did that was out of her control and claim he’d “never change a shade” well... that kind of out of character behaviour is another reason why AoU (despite being fairly good overall) is the low point of the franchise. That’s not Bruce talking. That’s not his character. Yes, everyone has their breaking point but he would be intimately familiar with the concept of something being out of someone’s control. (Which is why I personally believe that he’d be one of the first to forgive Bucky after Steve, Civil War aside). And she’s a child and he knows it, even if she’s not 19, she’s certainly young enough that he’d be aware that she’d have the chance to change. He gives General Ross that chance (and he ruins it but that’s another story), but not her? Bullshit. Especially knowing she had been under someone else’s control and orders for so long, and tortured and made, just like he was. He’d have a deeper understanding than maybe he’d want to admit. But anyway, the reality is, Bruce would rather hide out than sign the Accords.

Somebody should draw our seating arrangement for Civil War! (I would but I can't draw) 😂 @imagine-assembling-the-avengers @deansbaby67supernatural

This throwback pic proves it >>
