Agent Carter Season 1 is truly one of the most satisfying rewatches of all time for the Steggy-shipping Peggy stan, because Peggy gets to leave all the negging misogynistic fuckboys of the SSR office behind and wins a total HEA that includes a top-notch career fighting fascism AND the love of her life who she thought she'd lost forever...
As someone who is currently rewatching s1 for the first time in years? 100% this.
That whole season 1 finale was already perfect pre-Endgame (we won't talk about s2), but it was a very different kind of perfect. It was perfect in a bittersweet way, the same way the plane crash scene is perfect in a bittersweet way. For almost 10 years, that was Steggy shipping. Everything was bittersweet because they were forever missing each other.
With Endgame--and I've said this before--First Avenger is just so much easier to watch, knowing that they do in fact get their dance. It's a step in a very long, convoluted, winding road that makes it all the sweeter when you do finally get to Endgame. Same with AC s1 now. All of it is so much easier to watch knowing that they do in fact get their happy ending.

Apparently I’m in the mood for expressing an MCU hot take at this hour, so here goes:
Steve going back in time was NOT a betrayal of his and Bucky’s friendship.
Look, at first glance, I get why Steve’s Endgame ending feels like it’s going against “I’m with you to the end of the line.” Even I had my reservations about it for a while, once my Steggy-shipping heart calmed down from its thrilled palpitations when I first watched the film.
But after giving it a lot of thought, I think in the end, it was for the best that Steve and Bucky went their separate ways, and here’s why.
Once they reunited in the present day, Steve and Bucky’s relationship became extremely codependent, and their entire arc was learning to grow out of that.
We see in Civil War especially how far Steve was willing to go to protect Bucky, and how Bucky became fully dependent on Steve. And remember that Steve had just lost Peggy before finding Bucky again, meaning that Bucky was all he had left of his former 1940s life. The fact that he fought so hard for Bucky is symbolic for his arc, far beyond their friendship. Of course he did it because he loved Bucky, that’s never in doubt. But I also think that he felt an equally strong love for what Bucky represented, which is the life he lost. His clinging to Bucky already showed us that he was unable to truly let go of the 1940s, though he tried. He tried to believe he had let go - Age of Ultron is all about him trying - but Civil War makes it clear that he will never truly belong to the present day.
Same goes for Bucky. Steve was his only reminder of his true self, of who he used to be, of the life he lost. He loved Steve himself, of course, but he also clung to Steve because Steve also represented something beyond just their friendship; he represented the hope for Bucky’s soul. That he was not HYDRA’s monster anymore, that he had a chance of living life as himself again.
The ending of Civil War set the two of them on the path that always inevitably led to what we got from Endgame. Steve and Bucky finally loosened their metaphorical grip on each other; Bucky chose to turn himself over to Wakanda, and Steve let him go. They both acknowledged that Bucky’s need for healing went far beyond Steve. While Steve was his starting point, Steve’s faith the thing that gave him hope for himself, Bucky needed far more work on himself than Steve alone could provide. So they started taking baby steps away from their codependency; Bucky moved to Wakanda and Steve continued with the Avengers. Fans who talk and act as though Steve and Bucky’s lives fully and completely revolve around each other, and each other ONLY, clearly have not actually watched the movies critically.
The narrative always acknowledged that Steve and Bucky’s codependency was not healthy, and that as much as they loved each other, they needed to learn to be their own people, and not be defined only through each other’s eyes.
Which brings us to Endgame. Perhaps the most significant detail about Steve’s final choice is that he canonically told Bucky about it ahead of time. Bucky confirmed this verbally in TFATWS. Steve did NOT return to the 1940s on short notice; he let Bucky know about it. And, on the other side of the same coin, the exact details of this conversation are private. For all we know, Steve could’ve asked Bucky to come with him, to also seize a chance at getting back the life he lost. Steve could’ve ensured that Bucky was alright with this, and if Bucky really wasn’t ready to lose his support, then he wouldn’t go. All of these are very in-character possibilities for Steve, and there is NOTHING whatsover in canon that states that he didn’t say these things.
But what happened? Bucky let him go. Bucky told Steve to go live his dream, to go be with the love of his life. Bucky was alright with it. (Remember Bucky knew from the start how important Peggy was to Steve. He was a first-hand witness to Peggy declaring Steve “the right partner.” He knew what this chance at time travel meant for Steve.) And by letting him go, Bucky chose to stay in the present. Would he have been able to do this in Civil War? No, and that’s because since then, he grew. They grew. They got to a place where the cords of codependency were finally cut, where they both knew they could live their own lives and not rely on each other to keep one another upright. They finally knew what paths they wanted to follow to live their fullest lives, and those paths were not the same one. Steve embraced a future in the past, while Bucky embraced the present moment. In other words, they finally reached “the end of the line.”
Oh, and I find it absolutely hilarious that some people are like “how dare he retire with Peggy while Bucky is out there being tortured in the 40s?” Steve made a branched timeline when he returned to Peggy, meaning no matter what he did from then on, the Sacred Timeline wouldn’t change. And he knew that. And there is not a single piece of text to be found anywhere in canon that tells us that he didn’t immediately tell Peggy that HYDRA was still around and that they didn’t team up, take HYDRA down, and rescue Bucky before New Year’s 1950. So that argument is ridiculous.
Also, did Steve “leave Bucky alone,” as many have said? Uhhh, NO. We see this in TFATWS.
After Steve left, Bucky was not alone. He had Sam, aka a professional counselor. He had tons of friends in Wakanda, and those friendships were close enough that he could successfully request a new suit for Sam on a whim. And Sam told him exactly what he’d been needing to hear for so long: “It doesn’t matter what Steve thought. You gotta stop looking to other people to tell you who you are.”
On top of that, as we see at the end of the show, Bucky now has an entire family: he’s bonding with Sarah (who knows what that might lead to), and he’s another uncle to AJ and Cass, and he’s bringing cake to the cookout and the arm that used to be a killing weapon, he now uses as a plaything for the children to dangle from. The entire community has welcomed him as one of their own.
Steve and Bucky’s story is a beautiful one because it shows how true friends help guide you to where you need to be in life, and their support sets you on the path to being your best and fullest self. The health of Bucky and Steve’s friendship was destroyed by their shared trauma of being taken from their normal lives in the 1940s, and they clung to each other for emotional survival. Then, gradually, they helped each other get back on their own two feet, and when the time came, they learned to let each other go, because they loved each other so much.
In other words, the finale of Endgame was the natural and inevitable endpoint for their story arc. If it ended with them still together, and clinging on to each other, then what would be the point? That would just be character regression for both of them. But instead, the story concludes with both of them finally free from the codependency, leaving only their love for each other, which they will always carry with them.

Hi, again. 👋
I found the post you were talking about. The stan's account was deactivated, but yeesh. 😬 Nice replies to them, btw.
The stan that bashed on me said I was being misogynistic, even though I'm a black woman who just wanted to see another black character get their chance to shine.
Hell, it's not just the shows and movies (I think this all started with Endgame). It's also the Steve Rogers musical too. I don't know if you know about it, but Disney made the musical real, and it really did Sam and Bucky dirty.
Sam isn't even in it. Maybe he was mentioned once, but the musical showed an image of Sam as Captain America. As for Bucky, his scene from CA:TFA, where he saved pre-serum Steve, was given to Peggy instead. Bucky was mentioned once, and the musical tried to justify Steve's ending from Endgame. All for this ship.
And, frankly, I don't hate Peggy, I'm just more annoyed that other characters get shoved aside as well as this great dynamic that Steve and Bucky had, while she and her ship with Steve has been getting propped up more and more. But, seeing some of your and the others' posts, I get why you guys don't like her.
Girl, don’t get me started on the abomination that was Rogers the musical. It could have been glorious, it had so much potential, but once again Bucky’s role in Steve’s story was given to Peggy, and Sam wasn’t even there!
I feel like Marvel feels the need to tone down Stucky or their friendship overall because it was just too powerful. We all remember the hashtag that begged Marvel to make Stucky Canon, #givecaptainamericaaboyfriend. They just couldn’t let it happen, not to a main and important character like Steve, god forbid. And so ever since civil war Stucky has always had little to no scenes together no matter how well established it was in previous projects. All their scenes and dynamic were given to Peggy, their friendship was toned down, Steve’s whole ending happened. It just feels like Stucky is so menacing to Marvel that the only way to stop us is by destroying Steve, Bucky and their relationship.
I mean, Steve is given no justice in his ending and in all the other projects he appeared in. Bucky went from a victim and prisoner of war to someone who must make amends for things that were beyond his control. And the depth of their friendship was toned down and reduced every time Peggy was involved. And then they wonder why many people in the fandom dislike Peggy or why the whole Rogers the musical initiative flopped the second it went beyond Hawkeye.
Like, even if you don’t ship Stucky you can tell that they care for each other, and you can tell there was a shift after people actually wanted Marvel to take action and do something about this dynamic. Steve can’t get even one episode as his own character because Peggy must be there. Bucky had more luck, but still… and let’s not even talk about Sam, his only appearance was as a zombie!
In another post of mine I ranted about how bothered I was that Peggy was inserted in the 1602 storyline, and i haven’t changed my mind. It would have been so nice to give Steve one episode about himself, about his dynamic with his best friend and about the relationship with himself and his fellow avengers. But no, Peggy must be there too, and for no good reason as well.
I feel like Marvel trying to erase pre-existing relationships to have Peggy shine only results in fans turning their back on Marvel and hiding in fanfiction or whatever piece of media that can actually bring justice to the characters. Once someone on Tumblr said “you gave us the characters, but once you mess them up they’re not yours anymore. You don’t understand and respect them, therefore you don’t deserve them.” and I couldn’t agree more, which is why I am currently reading and writing fanfiction rather than buying into everything marvel gives us.
Peggy was the love interest with more screen time even before what if and all that jazz, she had her own show! And I fear that the day Marvel will realize that pushing a reimagined Nazi turned Mary Sue into every single what if episode where she can fit instead of enhancing the characters that are actually relevant in-universe it will be too late.
Sorry about the rant, I get carried away when it’s about my boys lol

I know this is a dated meme now but me and my brother have been joking about this since Endgame came out and I've always forgotten to post it. Steve went back to the 50s from 2023 right. The mcu has frequently referenced irl memes right. Boomers were born between 1946 - 1964 right. Imagine Steve back at home being a neighborhood soccer dad and saying the "ok boomer" meme to literal children and thinking he's the funniest person alive.

Why is it that Sharon Carter stans like this one hate Peggy Carter so much when Sharon’s life choices were inspired by Peggy? Sharon wanted to become a SHIELD Agent because of Peggy, but sure shit all over the woman that inspired her by making dumb headcanons that she was anti semitic or something like that. I don’t even like Sharon and I think that it is insulting towards Sharon that you think that woman who inspired her was secretly anti semitic.

In an interview, Sebastian Stan said that the moment Bucky and Steve saw each other in IW was not the first time they met since Bucky woke up, because otherwise the hug would have been much longer. X
The reason Bucky and Steve’s relationship did a 180 on screen is because after CW aired, the GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend hashtag became huge. Marvel realized that they had created much more chemistry between two friends than between Steve and any of his female leads (except Nat maybe, but that went south too).
At that point, Marvel had two solutions: make Stucky happen or destroy it. They of course went for the second, fearing the anger of the fans. But instead, with these crap interactions in IW and EG, they had the exact opposite effect because the majority of the fandom went mad because of this.
Now, I must say, I am not delusional enough to think that they would’ve made Stucky canon. But I believe that the statements “Stucky was in the narrative” and “MCU would’ve never made Stucky canon” can coexist. Because Stucky objectively was in the narrative and we have proof. Point is, it was so evident in the narrative that Marvel had to take a few steps back on the previously shown material. Ever since CW we didn’t have one meaningful scene between the “best friends since childhood/end of the line” bros. Not even in what if, but I blame on the necessities given from the presence of a badly written character (you know who I’m talking about).
Point is, Marvel keeps fucking Steve and Bucky, individually and in pair, up. Bucky in TFATWS, Steve in CW and EG, and their whole relationship.
So, to circle back to the argument of meeting in Wakanda, I can safely theorize that Steve actually went to visit Bucky multiple times. With Seb’s interview, our imagination and our spite for Marvel, we can live with the idea that they spent a lot of time in contact and together.
Unfortunately for them, marvel steps on its own feet every time Stucky is involved, and still does. What all fans must do now is rejoice, as the universe is on our side, and live in our little bubble. With Disney+’s involvement with Israel, and the current projects, and ignore most of the crap done by Marvel except for maybe Thunderbolts, Cap4 (if they get rid of the problematic shit they inserted in) and maybe the multiverse storyline.
If you really think about it. Bucky went missing at the end of winter soldier, and then 2(?) Years later, they found him during civil war. Then he immediately goes into cryofreeze after that. Sam and Steve go on the run for 2 years, and then come back to Wakanda for infinite war, and Steve sees bucky again. But was that the first time he saw Bucky again? And then Bucky gets snapped and is gone for 5 years, and then he comes back, and almost immediately, Steve goes back in time.
So, if Steve did visit Bucky in Wakanda, assuming that Bucky was under for even just 6 months, that's really only 1 and a half years that Steve could visit him. And in that amount of time Steve just? Got over the fact that Bucky was back. After finding Bucky and going into shock over the realization and letting Bucky kill him, because Steve didn't know he was gonna live, he fully expected to die, and then he just. Maybe visited him? And then lost him again and was depressed over it and then finally got Bucky back, but there's no big scene for their reunion. I'd even say that his reunion with Sam was more important, and I love Sam, but focusing on Bucky right now.
Best friends since childhood, Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers were inseparable on both school yard and battle field, Bucky was the only commando to give his life in service. And then per Steve's timeline, not even 10 years later, maybe 3 years for Bucky, he just. Leaves Bucky.

Do all the Peggy and Steggy haters who’re bitching in the Peggy/Steggy tags not know how tags work? Like, are they that Tumblr-illiterate? Or do they think that deliberately inserting their takes where they don’t belong will make a difference to anyone besides themselves? Is it ignorance or arrogance.
Inquiring minds want to know.

One of the reported episodes for What if is "What if the Winter Soldier killed Peggy Carter?" And I thought it was interesting... then it sinks in.
'What if...' is very Pro Peggy and Pro Steggy.
They're going to have Steve beat up Bucky like Tony beat him up in Civil War, aren't they?
Heaven help us. They're about to give Tony Stan's ammo!
Oh dear god, I wouldn't put it past them. Next thing you know, they'll have Steve signing the Accords too.
Remember that ep in previous seasons, the way they got rid of Sharon and how terrible it was? The next step is having Steve beat the shit out of Bucky to defend Maggy's honour or whatever.
She's their new Captain, after all. There's a reason they got rid of Steve and brought her to the spotlight. What still astonishes me is that they wrote her as a villain! They chose to write her that way and yet they keep trying to make it seem like Maggy is this saint who never did anything wrong, all so they can defend their godawful EG ending when we all know Steve would have punched her face and stayed in the present in every timeline.
I even hate the name of the ep. Still acting like Bucky is the villain and she's the victim. The same woman who worked alongside Zola willingly? When she knew very well what he had done to Bucky and other soldiers? She's a good girl? Gimme a break.

This lmao.
Also Steve’s character being 99% about Peggy and 1% about anything else was extremely disappointing. A well written story doesn’t need to reduce a character to be a shadow in their love interest’s story. No good story downgrades a character’s pre existing relationships to highlight another.
And Marvel making Steve and Peggy have these moments where someone says ��omg they’re so cute!!!” as if they don’t have the depth of a piece of paper was extremely disappointing. I don’t think I was supposed to cringe and turn my head as much as I did during episode 8.
And I completely agree on Sam’s take, I’ve talked about it in my own post yesterday. But at this point I’m not even surprised anymore, Marvel just can’t commit and actually try to do things the right way.
Plus, Peggy’s self righteous and constant “I aM cApTaIn CaRtEr!!!” argument against the watcher literally begging her to leave the 1602 universe… I think we’ve already established with John Walker that screaming “I am Captain America” left and right means you’re not the right choice for the role, but apparently whatever rule has been previously established is immediately cancelled the moment Saint Peggy is involved and it disrupts the storyline of the fanfict episode. Which is bad writing at its finest.
You’d expect more from a billion dollar cinematic studio, but oh well…
What If S2E08
Overall this episode is less grating. It's lovely to open with Tom Hiddleston giving a Hamlet soliloquy. Loki is a jester in this episode and I'm...not sure how I feel about that. The impression from Thor 1 was Loki was the more mature and calculated of the two siblings, but maybe that's by necessity? With a more mature Thor here, Loki can go off and have fun as he wishes.
I love my Scott-Bucky crumbs, I may be the only one on that (bro) team but I can watch chirpy Scott bounce off grumpy Bucky all day. Tony without the burden of his millionaire status is actually kinda cute. The omission of Sam from this episode is once again...glaring.
Why do I continue to get the sense that the creators don't know anything about what it means to be a superhero?? Nat calling Hulk out was a) because they have mutual trust, b) something Bruce has probably allowed before, and c) something she needed to apologise for later. Carter forcing Bruce to turn Hulk was not a power move, and in fact every other instance of Bruce being forced to become Hulk against his will was done by villains. Good work Carter on dehumanising yet another super soldier.
"I'm dead in this world? That's great!" Peggy, as Steve explains that the "Margaret" he knew died many moons ago -- LMFAO what dumb fanfic is this.
I get the sense that they're trying to go for the "in every timeline, Steve and Peggy finds each other" but....
In every timeline, Steve found Bucky first ROFLMAO
Also, Peggy-"we never get our happy ending"-Carter, may you should've just stayed in your main timeline.

Personal review regarding what if…? season 2 episode 8 (spoilers)
No ok, I must admit, the episode was good in some aspects.
Wanda was majestic. Loki and Scott were hilarious and I loved every single moment with them.
Thor was amazing, dark and serious out of loss but still enjoyable, and the crumbs of his relationship with Hela were very nice.
I’ve actually liked Tony for the very first time in my life, probably because I tend to like him a lot more in AUs and fanfictions than I do in the normal timeline.
And then… there were those two.
I will never comprehend why marvel wants Steve to be so dependent on Peggy. And I will never comprehend why, to make him interact with her, they have to destroy or sideline every other relationship he has built, or make his character flat.
Bucky being friends with Scott was amazing, but the fact that him and Steve interacted like two times was extremely disappointing. You’d expect “best friends in every universe”, if you dislike the romantic pairing so much, to acknowledge themselves for more than a few scenes, in only one of which they’re in frame together (Bucky was literally 😐 while his best friend disappeared, come on now).
And the storyline about Peggy coming from another world to save the universe was just… Mbah. It could’ve been executed in another way without including her and it still would have made sense. It really feels like a Y/N insert.
Seeing literally any other character was so good, so fun, and they had to ruin it this way, making Peggy once again the self insert and girlboss she didn’t need to be.
Plus, forgive my constant complaining, but it’s extremely infuriating how all of Steve’s friends were eliminated to put the focus solely on Peggy. Where’s Sam? Where’s Nat? Where’s Clint? It’s not an underrated friendship we’re talking about, a big chunk of the fandom loves the cap quartet or team cap, and after civil war it would have been nice to see them interact, especially after its popularity and popular demand. Outlaw team cap would have been glorious, a good chance to bring back many characters who aren’t here anymore in the right way, and involve characters that are rarely involved in What if in the storyline, for a change.
The treatment of Sam in this series particularly angers me, and even more so in this episode. I understand not involving him in other storylines, but Sam was a big part of CATWS and he wasn’t even in the episode centered on that film. What, because Steve met him while running he can’t be introduced in any other way? And oh, there’s no excuse for this episode. If there was one episode they could have placed Sam in, it was this one. Sam was there in infinity war, where the mess happened, and he should have been with the other avengers in this one.
If marvel wanted to involve someone from another universe so bad, it should have been a Captain America Sam from another universe. Can you imagine the poetry of seeing Steve and Nat again after endgame? Can you imagine having closure with them both, and having fun in the process? It would have been so great.
Another great storyline without involving characters from other universes would have been one where Steve, who touched the time stone, accidentally brought everyone in the past, and he was the only one to remember it. And to go back and prevent everyone’s distraction, he had to recruit the avengers, who don’t know him and don’t trust him but that in the end become his friends and companions. It would have been so interesting to see the original avengers involved in something different from being some side characters or extras in the one woman show that seems to be What if, constantly centered around the same bland, one dimensional reimagined side character. Peggy’s blandness is so obvious in these episodes (aside for some random remarks that made me smile) that literally everyone who’s involved directly with her must be bland like her, otherwise risking to overshadow her.
I don’t think I was supposed to cringe and look away as much as I did during Steggy’s forced scenes, but I did. If they had to force Steggy and Peggy down our throats, at least they could have done something different from the same bland and boring storyline as always. I wouldn’t be as mad as I am now if Peggy and Steve’s relationship wasn’t as bland. I would have preferred an enemies to lovers type of twist or change, where Steve doesn’t trust Peggy and struggles with her because he sees in her a different version of the Peggy that died in that universe. But noooo, god forbid, let’s go with the same old song.
An episode five or ten minutes longer with a better, avengers-centric or Steve-centric storyline would have been much better than what we got.
And given that this was my most anticipated episode, I was very disappointed by it. I hope for the next seasons, if there’s other ones, Marvel will listen to the general complaint regarding Peggy and will give her a break. I don’t think any of the original avengers or relevant MCU characters made as much appearances as Peggy, and being a main focus in four episodes out of nine is ridiculous.

Part 1 of The Simple Life: The Talk
{ Steve has a crazy idea. Bucky doesn't think it's all that crazy. }
2 chapters / complete / 3,070 words
I haven't heavily promoted any of my fics so far but gotta be honest. Kinda really like this one. Kinda proud. It kinda slaps. Steve and Bucky's discussion about Steve leaving, in two parts. Steve has anxiety. Bucky is a pro shipper.
#SKFHSKD pro shipper thing is a joke but its funny#i was worried the banner was gonna look bad and cringey but i think it works??#i really wanted to use it bc. look at his face#you're gonna look at his face and tell me he felt no joy during this scene??#he looks so happy for him im actually gonna cry#is the banner cringey or does it look Official™??#is it a booktok book cover or a good book cover?#ok anyway.#i always cringe at any art i make but i actually feel like. i would enjoy this if someone else made it#so </3 drawing attention to it skdhsjsk (AAAAH)#scary bc this topic can and does draw so much discourse that gets so mean and i dont wanna get into that 😭#i love bucky 😭 i just dont ship stucky im sorry 😭#steggy#steggy fanfic#bucky barnes#steve rogers#endgame#marvel

Hi there, question for you: do you filter any tags? What are they, if you don't mind sharing? (even just a yes or no answer is helpful if you don't wish to elaborate)
Just FYI, I'm going around and asking this same question to others in the community (so please don't feel targeted or anything like that), but if you wouldn't mind answering this question, I'd be very curious to know your answer!
If you do answer, please consider tagging your reply "#filtered tags ask" for convenience, and if you're inclined to copy/paste this ask into others' ask boxes, it'd be much appreciated 🙏
I do filter tags! I filter a bunch of tags, actually:
#amber heard #anti endgame #anti endgame steve #anti mcu wanda maximoff #anti peggy #anti peggy carter #anti st*ggy #anti steggy #anti steve rodgers #anti steve rogers #anti team cap #anti wanda maximoff #anti wandavision #avengers incorrect quotes #barry #bucky barnes x reader #bucky x reader #call of duty #chris evans x reader #dark!steve x reader #dark!steve x you #dead poets society #dps #house md #howard stark x reader #hydra husbands #incorrect marvel quotes #incorrect mcu quotes #incorrect quotes #johnny depp #jonny depp #kinnporsche #kinnporsche the series #Kiseki: Dear to me #loki x reader #lucifer #mcu incorrect quotes #natasha romanoff x reader #natasha romanoff x you #natasha x reader #not a rating #ofmd #pro tony stark #reader insert #rwrb #rwrb spoilers #starker #steve rodgers x reader #steve rogers critical #steve rogers x black!reader #steve rogers x fem!reader #steve rogers x male reader #steve rogers x reader #steve rogers x reader fluff #steve rogers x stark!reader #steve rogers x you #steve x reader #this is a captain carter hate blog sorry #tony stark defense squad #wanda maximoff x reader #wanda maximoff x you
These are a mix of tags I actively don't want to see anywhere (e.g. anti steve rogers), popular stuff I don't mind but am tired of seeing on my dash (e.g. ofmd), and tags that I'm willing to see from trusted people but not the general tumblr population (e.g. anti endgame, or pro tony stark). Plus the never ending quest to keep tag search and browse results from being clogged with a bunch of super long x reader fics.

In fact, and this is true, if you look closely, you can actually see Wanda's thought process when Captain Brexit uses that stolen catchphrase. 😂
Wanda Maximoff: How dare you steal Captain Rogers' catchphrase! 😡 When anyone but him says that, they are committing a crime punishable by DEATH! 😡
Wanda Maximoff: Wow. 😂 Glad I got that out of my system. 😊
just wanna point out that Emily Van Camp, and several other actresses within the MCU, would’ve received an absolute shit storm of hate had they said this about their roles in marvel movies or shows.
in fact, I can almost guarantee that if Lashana Lynch came out and said something similar about her role as Captain Marvel in the exact same movie, she would be the subject of endless vitriol.
goes a long way to show the privilege that P*ggy and Atw*ll are given.

#of course HA wouldn't object to being given steve's catchphrase#her character was about stealing story beats from other characters from day one#her show stole several traits from bucky at the get go#her what if episode stole wholesale story arcs from steve#girl does not understand that 'women can do everything and do it better'#is not the same as just plagiarising an entire character sheet#without doing even the most basic homework of understanding both steve and peggy as characters#and once you do...you'll realise you cannot simply paste steve's (or bucky's) character arcs onto miss nepot private school girl#to put it most kindly peggy's character is made from ruthless pragmatism the stuff of a politician#steve is the paladin and the humane ideal#you simply cannot shove a square peg in a round hole#anti peggy carter#anti steggy#anti hayley atwell#wanda maximoff#pro wanda maximoff#anti illuminati
