when the mcu tries to gently Just Good Pals steve and bucky i want to laugh at them because, like. they were the ones who structured their arc, from the very beginning, as a story about leaving a plucky sweetheart behind in the states when you ship out. it could have been lifted wholesale from practically any wartime romance filmed between 1940 and 1950. “i just wish they’d take me into the army too– i’d go with you, show that fuhrer a thing or two– just promise me you’ll take care!” “darling, don’t worry, you can do your part right here at home– it’s ever so important to the war effort!” it’s the theme of fucking “tender comrade” and “since you went away” and “mrs. miniver” and i could go on and on
the part where steve gets turned into a tall dangerous hillshire farms beef log is the surprising science fiction twist; but the part where he grumps about being Left Behind by a uniformed hottie is 1000% period-accurate romantic dramedy that could have been screenwritten by david o. selznick. i’m sorry mcu i don’t make the fucking rules. this is just how it is. give them their v-e day kiss already and let me rest
The erosion of Loki’s threat level from “time to conquer the earth” to “persistent nuisance” is a source of eternal delight to be, every film he grows closer and closer to his true and ultimate manifestation of ineffectual, annoying lil brother
thor to all the inhabitants of earth: it’s cool he’s comic relief now 🙂
all of earth: still…..guilty of many murders tho…….lotta murder
loki: yeah I keep trying to explain that to him, I think it’s fucking buckwild he brought me here too
so are we gonna talk about how Thor still has his right eye in this gifset? Yet in the film, he’s already lost it during this scene?
Does this mean that there was a version of the movie where that didn’t happen to Thor? Sorta how there was a version of Avengers 2 where Quicksilver didn’t die?
Or do you think this was just to not give anything away in the trailers? Like how they smudged Bucky’s eye makeup so that people couldn’t tell he was the Winter Soldier
Sad thing is in actual mythology this is very accurate. But loki does always fix the problem and usually the other gods got something good out of it in the end like magical weapons and tools, so really the other gods should stop bitching cuz when loki cleans up his messes they get free shit out of it.
