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. 

Apparently I have to say this EVERY TIME this post goes around: the second gif is from “Age of Ultron.” Also written by Joss Whedon.

And you think Steve’s Irish Catholic mother didn’t threaten to wash his mouth out with soap when she heard him swear? Or that he didn’t feel the need to mention his slip-ups in confession? The point of his characterization in “The Avengers” is that he doesn’t know anyone in the modern world and falls back on his Captain America persona because he doesn’t yet feel comfortable enough to stop acting. The “language” joke in AOU is kind of silly, yes, but the PSAs in “Spider-Man: Homecoming” suggest how he might keep getting stuck in the persona.
