Hyper-analyzing the Thunderbolts* trailer:

I think the reason we see "Bucky" with two different hairstyles, and one looking. Well. Off. Is because one of them isn't Bucky Barnes and is actually Jack Monroe/Scourge/The Third Bucky from the 90s Thunderbolts comics.

Very very quick summary:

Jack Monroe is the second replacement Bucky who went a little crazy. He looks *identical* to Bucky Barnes. In the 90s Thunderbolts comics, he was controlled by nanites to be the supervillain Scourge, with access to an image inducer to make him look like anyone he wanted. He ran assassination hits on the Thunderbolts until he finally was broken out of his conditioning and then went off to wander around alone until he was killed by the Winter Soldier in the 2000s.

So. To recap:

-In the trailer, we see Bucky acting seemingly out of character and even looking slightly Off

-Jack Monroe is a Bucky replacement who looks just like him

-In the Thunderbolts comics, he is the villain Scourge, who has an image inducer and tries to kill the Thunderbolts (like we see Bucky do in the trailer)

Guys. I think we're gonna get Jack Monroe in the MCU.

To be clear. This is not something I *want*. I think the MCU would absolutely butcher Jack's character and completely erase his queerness. But. I do think this is a highly likely scenario we're seeing. I hope I'm wrong. However.....

Possibly unpopular opinion incoming. I think the character whose massacre at the hands of the early 90s goes most overlooked at Marvel is Nomad. Look at that. Fucking LOOK at it. Look at what they did to this man! Another snarly, shades flicking badass with a guitar string of drool between his teeth and eight detail lines for every muscle. What is supposed to be appealing about this? Where's the motif? The color? The PANACHE?! Captain America 421

What If Choices' Race-customizable LIs Had Surnames Reflective Of Their Ethnicity?: An Experiment Just For Fun (Part 2/3)

Info in Part 1

Part 3

HOT COUTURE

Marco Diallo

This face option is described in the asset files as "Black". I did a cursory research and learned that there is a significant Black Italian community of immigrants from Cameroon, so that's my headcanon for him and his family. I chose the Fulani surname Diallo because it starts with a Di like Di Vincenzo.

Marco Diệp

This face option is described in the asset files as "Asian". The most significant Asian Italian community is Chinese Italians, but I didn't find a Chinese surname starting with the sound Di that sounded right to me. So I went with the Vietnamese Diệp.

HOT SHOT

Casey Jamil

These face options are described in the asset files as "Middle Eastern". The Arabic surname Jamil was a spelling match for Jameson, and this spelling appears to be common in Syria and Iraq. So if they had this surname they could be Syrian or Iraqi.

IMMORTAL DESIRES

Cassius Han / Cassandra Han

These face options are described in the asset files as "Asian". The Japanese surname Harada is a spelling match for Harlow but I already used Harada for the LI of Guarded. Also, I keep seeing people comparing the masc face to this one Kpop singer, I forget who, so it gave me the headcanon that these faces are Korean. The Korean surname Han seemed like a pretty solid match for Harlow, and it's also a Chinese surname too so they could be Chinese with this surname. Also I know fem Cas's full name is canonically Cassie but like many others on this internet website I am a Cassandra Harlow truther because I think it sounds better.

Gabriel Almánzar / Gabriela Almánzar

These face options are described in the asset files as "Latinx". Couldn't find any Spanish or Portuguese language surnames that start with "Ad" so I went with a Spanish surname that starts with "A" and retains the "A-al-ar" sounds from Adalhard.

LAWS OF ATTRACTION

Gabe Ryu

This face option is described in the asset files as "Asian". Almost went with the Korean surname Rhee but I already chose it for TPS LI and also I think the Korean surname Ryu looks cooler on a law firm plaque. lol

MS. MATCH

Jack Mansour / Jacqueline Mansour

These face options are described in the asset files as "Arabic". Mansour was a close Arabic-language sound match to Monroe. This spelling seems to be common across all of North Africa and the Middle East. So I guess they could be from any of those places with that surname.

MY TWO FIRST LOVES

Noah Higuchi

This face option is descrbed in the asset files as "Asian". Another LI with a surname starting with "Har" which can correspond with the Japanese surname Harada but I already used that and also "Noah Harada" has too many open "A" sounds in a row for my liking. So I just chose a cool sounding Japanese name starting with the letter H because this face option looks Japanese to me.

Ava Lozano

This face option is described in the asset files as "Hispanic". Lozano was the closest Spanish-language surname I could find to Lawrence. The Spanish form of the first name Lawrence is Lorenzo, but it doesn't appear to be used as a surname like Lawrence is in English-speaking countries.

Mason Jiménez

This face option is described in the asset files as "Hispanic". Couldn't find Spanish-language surnames that start with the same sound as Jennings. If my memory is correct I don't think Spanish has that sound? Jiménez has a lot of the same letters though so? That should work?

THE NANNY AFFAIR

Sam Delgado / Samantha Delgado

These face options are described in the asset files as "Hispanic". I considered the Spanish surname de la Torre because it retained the D-L-T-O sounds from Dalton but I thought Delgado sounded cooler……?

THE PHANTOM AGENT

Karan Gill / Sameera Gill

These face options are described in the files as "Indian". I considered the surnames Giri (broadly Indian, common in Nepal I think?) and Ghauri (common in Pakistan as far as I can tell?) for sound matches for Gray but Gill (Punjabi) sounded cooler. Also there was nothing necessarily wrong with the names Callum and Samara other than I don't like them. So I assigned them new Indian names…….

Some of you may have have already noticed but I've become slightly obsessed with tradicional superhero tropes (superhero families, sidekicks, classical strongman costumes, everybody with their own cities) more than usual, blame marvel for not utilizing their characters to their full potential.

Gonna start reading captain America comics because GODDAMN does that guy has sidekicks and partners.

To give you an idea I've reached the tag limit and there are still people left.

Btw almost every golden age marvel hero got their lives destroyed.

[couldtransitionsaveher]

JACK MONROE/NOMAD/BUCKY III from CAPTAIN AMERICA (MARVEL COMICS)

JUSTIFICATION:

"I don't know if transition would have saved her, but it might have at least allowed her to die happy. She liked crossdressing, she was in the process every day of unlearning biases from the 50s communist red scare, she found joy in parenting her baby, she was so coded to be some sort of non cishetero. I think she could have been happy.

Also transition might have literally saved her, not from her ambiguous degernatative disease, but from Bucky Barnes killing her" - @thrakaboom

‘the MC in Ms. Match is truly terrible. Jack/Jess is right, we completely lucked out and we definitely don't deserve to be CEO. I normally hate the way Choices does enemies to lovers, but it worked here because the MC was simply wrong. i wanted to drop out of the competition and help Jess win :(’

Dear God please don't let the MCU ruin another Bucky by trying and failing to adapt Jack Monroe

Look at how excited Redwing is. "Oh boy, another nice lady to spoil me rotten!"

Peter really went on a spontaneous movie date with a cute guy he just met, and people say he ain’t a lil fruity

Look at those faces, if it wasn’t for the punk kid they’d be at home doing a mattress marathon after:
