#i dread what they gonna do to explain T'Challa's loss

[pigtailedgirl]

So because I can’t let Steve go anymore than the MCU can. Or, in the MCU’s case, you know let his character be grown if that was really the best end for him, complete or anything other than a joke. The way that have to keep mentioning him and Tony in every project to fill in or tease more character. To try an explain the plot hole or emotional hole of loss each brings. Tony’s lack of connection to the other’s emotional story, versus the Iron Man cast, versus not really examining anything about his death narratively as it relates to what it meant morally, or physically for those close to him. Sure Peter and Happy miss him, the world mourns... Is there a reflection of who and why in Tony’s legacy and death?

Same with Steve. The MCU clearly doesn’t care who and why Steve is or was.  Steve’s ending clashing so hard with his connections not only to Sam and Bucky, but the present, to all these emotional parts of character’s lives that he was related to. Nat’s and Tony’s friendship. Wanda’s mentee. T’Challa’s respect. America’s old icon and morale. The question of Hulk’s serum alt. All of it dropped. 

The important context to Steve now is he loves and has sex with them ladies. On the USO tour. As beefy, good ass Steve. 

How incredibly shallow a take on the character.

How sad that they are so obsessed with these takes...he’s left in character limbo hell, where he’s as the narrative so far as decided a public and private Schrodinger. Is he dead to them, is he on the moon, is he in the past happily living, is he back as an old guy? It’s all pick your options but realize none of them are going to be considered in the emotional weight on him or whoever thinks it. 

I think if the MCU heads have brains, they realize the character’s as they wrote and their endpoints were narratively unfulfilled. This is why they can’t let them rest or have the new ones compellingly take over.

I’m just sad for Steve now. He could’ve been such a good character, an epitome of hope and good and the MCU fucking ruined him. Captain America unabashedly punched Nazis, said queer rights and fought for everybody’s rights. He was a good man who knew where he stood, and the MCU FUCKED THAT UP!

And now Marvel can’t let go of their cash cow. Tony and Steve were the main attraction to the MCU and now that RDJ and Evans are gone they’re trying to fill the persona void by trying to make everyone RDJ level of quips..
