everyones a little scared to drive a car at first its an important life skill. Especially if you happen to live in America. So its a face your fears type of thing

Why isn't "too scary" a good enough reason to never drive a car

I love Deadpool and Magneto as much as next person but stop saying they did the gayest shit in Marvel history when Karolina Dean literally turned into a actually flying lesbian flag. Put some respect on my girl name

the runaways hulu show took away the most interesting part of chase stein and im bitter

like im a chase stan we all know this! n part of what makes him so so interesting to me & unique among marvel characters (and characters in general tbh) is like

chase isn’t traditionally smart. his dad is a tech genius and he’s not. he can’t intuitively understand how tech works and it makes his dad so mad that chase never wants to touch it again until after he dies and circumstances force him to

and heres the great thing about chase! he’s not a super genius who’s naturally skilled in electrophysics but he fucking teaches himself. he had everything stacked against him but he fucking sat down and learned how to work the leapfrog and fix his fistigons and help out his robot friend because damn it even it it takes him 3 times as long as everyone else his friends need this and he’s gonna do it. like its so rarely shown in fiction that you don’t need to be innately skilled at something to be good at it! 

but the runaways show just goes uhhh actually chase built the fistigons hes just as instantly talented as his dad he did all of this on his own and he can connect with his dad on this. which to me takes away a lot of chase’s development and what makes him a good character but thats just my onion

The thing about Chase Stein, my beloved, that the runaways show gets completely wrong is that he’s not a genius inventor like his parents. At his essence, he’s just some guy, but he finds these things and fixes them and learns how to make them work for him. He does it with the Fistigons, he does it with the Leapfrog, and then he does it with the Yorkes’ time machine to bring Gert back. It’s so much more compelling to me that his expertise is not creating or inventing but being intuitive enough to reach into something and understand it. He’s not his father’s son at all, he doesn’t create or destroy, he just fixes.

ok my thoughts on John Walker.

He was supposed to be a condemnation of american imperialism. Im not going to defend american imperialism because it shouldnt be defended. But the writers were all seamingly high on something and accidentally wrote a man trying his best in an impossible situation* while everyone is mean** to him. Also MCU Captain America 100% killed people even after world war two.

Not to mention when in combat time and time again John makes snap decisions to save people. Throwing his shield to save Lamar after he got thrown off a truck, pulling Ghost to safety, saving bucky when fighting sentry. So yes i think specifically MCUs John Walker would have been a great Captain America. They could have done a Nomad arch with him.

*Two Bro's one of them weilding nothing but a shield and a side arm vs an entire terrorist group of super soldiers.

**Sam and bucky being dicks when John tried to team up, even after he got them out of jail

**Sam and Bucky sorry falcon and the winter soldier acting like someone calling themselves BattleStar is rediculousness without presetent.

**The dora milaje attacking John after he put a hand on there shoulder in what was clearly intended as a calming gesture.

**sam, someone who helps Vets with PTSD, assaulting John, who just had an emotional crisis, and breaking his arm***

***also the line "why are you making me do this?!" Is poorly written because it makes it sound like John isnt defending himself when Sam and Bucky attacked him.

that scene where john's talking to lemar's family, and lemar's mom holds him like he's her son too. that breaks me so much.

she says that lemar talked about him often. that lemar was proud of him when he became captain america. that she was too. how far back did the two of them go? they served in the military together, did they go to school together? were they on the football team together, in detention together, even further back, did they grow up together? if john's home was devoid of love, did he use doing his homework with lemar as an excuse to go to his house instead of going home? did his mom make sure john was fed, shake her head with fond disapproval as she watched john and lemar take turns on lemar's new ps1, did she let him sleep over if he claimed it was too dark for him to go back home, even if it was a bright summer afternoon? was lemar the best man at john and olivia's wedding? was his mom invited too? when she looks at him, does she see captain america, does she see a murderer, or does she just see her son's best friend, the playful blond he brought home from school and bragged about for the rest of his life, the boy she personally watched grow up?

in that scene, when john says "i'm sorry", you can tell he doesn't mean "i'm sorry for your loss", but rather "i'm sorry i failed you both"

Concept: stage musical whose lead character can't seem to hear the music and is visibly baffled at the fact that everyone else is dancing – initially as comedy bit, but over the course of the production it gradually becomes apparent that we're looking at a formerly realistic setting which has suddenly begun to operate according to stage musical rules, and we watch as the lead is ostracised from their peers and driven to madness by the fact that they're seemingly the only one who's noticed that anything has changed.

The Iraq war had consequences, you know.

And America never even really won.

But, sure, let’s go to war with Iran again about a nuclear program that may or may not exist yet.
