watching avengers assemble (specifically that episode where steve has to bodyguard victor) and like

its a little weird for thor to be criticizing victor and his country right. like sir. you are the heir to a non-democracy surveillance state. odin has (implied) almost complete control over asguard as a country. heimdall can see fucking anything and any one at any time. and in EVERY situation where that isn't the case, it is always presented as a Bad Thing, and not a... vaguely horrific lack of privacy.

like,,, thor buddy i dont think you have a leg to stand on here

#ITS JUST! ITS A LITTLE WEIRD RIGHT #its weird that asguard is fully a surveilance state and no one comments on it #right. right.#its worse in mcu i think #theres the whole colonialism thing. and then also in aos there's implied to have been a draft #in the frost giant war #and equiped with weapons that at least somewhat manipulate the user's mind #(beserker staff)#and god even when everyone is like. odin is a douchebag. which he is #no one ever connects that ever to how he might be ruling his country #whereas victor its always like. Everything he does outside of latveria somehow reflects on the country itself #im having Thoughts #also: if its about how he took power. that is just how latveria's succession works. sucession by combat.#this is ALSO how wakanda's succession works!#and if it's just because he's a villan. no one ever tries to liberate atlantis from namor.#honestly that one is understandable no one wants to fucking live in atlantis. too wet.#BUT RIGHT ISNT IT WEIRD THAT ASGUARD IS A SURVEILANCE STATE
