character development
#not so much character development#as the difference between joss’s gee golly gosh truth justice and the american way cap’n america#and actual steve rogers the potty mouthed daredevil IDIOT who let the army experiment on him because he was born so goddamn full of FIGHT ME (via absentlyabbie)
That is the best description of Steve I have ever seen
I was always so confused about if Joss Whedon had seen The First Avenger. Because Steve swears in the movie. Not like hard, its a PG-13 family movie, but he does swear.
I think Joss Whedon falls into the same trap as bad fic writer, where he thinks Steve is a farmer from 1950s Kansas instead of Irish Catholic kid from 1920s Brooklyn.
Steve Rogers is 400 pounds of righteous kickass in a 100 pound body and by using the serum the army found room for only most of it.
he thinks Steve is a farmer from 1950s Kansas instead of Irish Catholic kid from 1920s Brooklyn.
this is it. this is the description for how steve is so often mischaracterized.
“Only most of it”
this made me think of that other farmer from 1950s kansas who stands for truth justice and the american way, and i considered how a fight between cap and superman would go for all of 3 seconds before i realized that the “fight” would consist entirely of a screaming match in a starbucks that’s scary because they’re both fucking huge, but if you listen long enough one of them is going to cross himself as he yells “CHRIST IN HEAVEN, I KNOW YOU DIDN’T JUST QUOTE FUCKING KANT AT ME AS A REASON ASSASSINATING HITLER WOULD HAVE BEEN A BAD THING! KANT WAS A PATHETIC SHIT WHO THOUGHT HE COULD DEFINE GOD ON HIS OWN TERMS AND HAD THE LUDICROUS IDEA THAT SAYING “this is bad for society so you shouldn’t do it” WOULD ACTUALLY STOP THEM FROM DOING IT! IN FACT, IF YOU WANT TO DRAG KANT’S MUSTY ASS INTO THIS AT ALL, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY THAT PUTTING A STOP TO GENOCIDE AT ALL COSTS IS, IN FACT, A CATEGORICAL FUCKING IMPERATIVE!”
