I have, however, for the first time encountered Tony Stark Stans in the wild. 

(Don’t get me wrong. I love Tony. I love him for the absurd and often obnoxious human disaster and deeply good person he is. It’s the uncritical stanning that I had never encountered before. Most people I run into spend all their time making him out to be The Worst Ever.) 

(I do not bother arguing with people who want to make him out The Worst because I have only so many minutes in my day, but I should note that I firmly feel they are wrong. And actually am deeply fond of Tony.) (But he’s such a fucking mess. I heart him.) 

I remain convinced that a lot of people who don’t like Tony have never read him properly written.  i cannot TELL you how many fics i read where i just wind up yelling “NO THAT’S NOT HOW HE THINKS.”  and it’s not even like the resultant actions are all that far off?  but the motivations are WRONG.  WHY do only you and Betty Ross properly appreciate this.

Gifset needs moar elbowing soldiers in the face and telling her father never to speak to her as his daughter again.

Also responding to Bruce’s dramatic emptying of her purse and going “we basically can’t use any of this, because they can track it” with pointing at the pile and going, solemnly, “What about my lipgloss? Can they track my lipgloss? And my glasses? I need those – ”

Clothes sharing is just like the ultimate fluffy trope. Like fuck yes, give me one person in my otp letting the other wear their letterman jacket around school like every cheesy high school romance in existence. Give me the smaller one walking around in the bigger one’s oversized, worn sweatshirt and socked feet, with their hair all messed up from sleeping. Give me my otp wearing those dumb but adorable coupley shirts that match each other. Just give it to me in every variation possible I love that shit it’s so cute I can’t handle it.

i dont think american filmmakers realise how huge london is, because sure you have the london eye and houses of parliament but when you say ‘london has fallen’ what??? so the nandos in catford is in flames? the tesco in peckham has descended into chaos? wtf??

@deputychairman

And even if Peckham Tesco goes down you’ve still got the Lewisham one open 24 hours, yeah you’re in trouble on a Sunday evening but even in a survival situation you can probably hold out till Monday because all the local takeaways would still deliver, no one can stop those guys and no one should try

dear non-American (and some American) filmmakers:

Same also goes for New York.

“New York City is destroyed and being ravaged by aliens!”
(Shows only Manhattan in flames) (and maybe bits of Brooklyn)

But what about the folks in the Bronx; have they been able to gather reinforcements across the border from Yonkers and Mount Vernon? Are the people down in Tottenville or Far Rockaway running their own boat supply runs to Jersey?
And most importantly, ARE THE TACO TRUCKS STILL OPEN on ROOSEVELT AVENUE?

For the record I now want someone with more native knowledge than me to write Battle of New York fics about the taco trucks on Roosevelt Avenue. (This joins my desire for fic from the POV of the people who own that shawarma shop the team went to afterwards. Did Bruce borrow clothes from them?)

Which do you like best?

Jesus, take a moment to appreciate the similarities and differences in the acting, please

While you’re at it, take a moment to appreciate the fact Seb holds the props like they’re real weapons and not props.

I read in some othetr post he’s the only one who does that. 

Those posts were probably mine, lol. I love Cevans from the top of his dark brown roots to his unusually good looking feet, but I’ve criticized him several times for the way he handles prop guns like they’re, well, props. He flags others with his muzzle, doesn’t sight, chicken wings, ect. Seb never does that. He maintains control of a prop weapon as if it might actually be deadly (which is smart bc these days, a lot of prop weapons are actually real ones that fire blanks, which can still injure people even with a blank firing adaptor at the front, and I think other cast members have mentioned before that they’re using real weapons with blanks to capture realist recoil and set the mood for the actors on set.)

I’ve decided to myself that if I ever meet Chris, the first thing I’ll do after climbing off him, disposing of the condom and throwing him a damp wash cloth is take him to a gun range to put a few thousand rounds down range. (As opposed to the first thing I’ll do if I meet Seb, which is feed him authentic TexMex breakfast tacos.)

Bucky’s a sniper.  And Sebastian plays the part perfectly.  Snipers have fucking RESPECT for their guns and know how to handle them intimately.  Seb does a FANTASTIC job handling a gun.  There’s a lot of confidence there.

I haven’t really studied how Cevans has used guns in past performances (although there’s a lot of videos of him doing training for Street Kings with guns, so if he’s shit, I guess we can blame them?), but the way he uses a gun in the MCU is perfectly 100% Steve.  Watching Steve with a gun is WEIRD, and I feel like Steve handling a gun is WEIRD, and it plays like that on film.  We’ve seen Steve with guns before, but usually small hand guns.  And it’s clear that he neither likes nor prefers to use them (mostly you see him use them out of desperation or for dramatic shots like the howling commandos busting into that building etc).  He handles them like an amateur, which, frankly, he is.

But take a look at how Cevans handles that fucking shield.  Fuck, half the time he’s MIMING using it, and even that is fucking UNREAL.  I have to sit and remind myself that he’s busy grabbing air.  But when he isn’t, the amount of control he has over what is really unwieldy object?  DAMN.  That shield is Steve’s weapon. That’s what he has respect for, which is why when he drops it on the helicarrier in TWS, it’s powerful. 

So yeah, he may not be great at guns, but watch Sebastian or Tom Hiddleston try to wield Steve’s shield.  Like a window shutter in a hurricane.  Cevans just has his own prop forte.
