Imagine saying a character “know[ing] they’re right and doesn’t want to hear it when you tell them they’re wrong” was a good thing. That this wasn’t one of Steve Rogers, Captain America’s greatest flaws.

Imagine believing that this is a character trait that CAROL DANVERS would be proud to have. Imagine never having picked up a comic book in your life, and saying that Carol Danvers isn’t one of these “flawed, fucked up people”.

Imagine if Marcus & McFeely actually gave a f*ck about Carol and didn’t get her character so wrong.

No. Thank fuck they’re not writing Captain Marvel.

Wait, so… they didn’t think that was a flaw in Steve Rogers? They wrote Civil War thinking that Steve was the sympathetic one and Tony “contorted ego” [???] Stark was the villain? Because boy, did that go wrong. I came out of that movie thinking that Steve was a complete asshole and Tony was the one being (relatively) reasonable.

…kind of like what happened when Waititi, Pearson, and Hemsworth tried to make Thor the “best” character in his own movie, eh, @fuckyeahrichardiii?

no but disturbing realistic superheroes

Vision has no hair anywhere on his body–no armpit hair, no eyebrows, no eyelashes. No fingernails. His skin tastes like metal. Sometimes, he forgets to breathe for minutes or hours at a time.

Captain Marvel smells like burning. When you touch her, your hand comes away cold because she’s absorbed your body heat. If she gets cut, she bleeds light. She can tell you what the inside of an explosion feels like.

Bruce Banner vomits after de-hulking. His skin is always red and peeling. He looks sick, like he has a fever, and he ingests more medication than actual food. There are blisters on his lips.

Tony Stark has a huge, sunken scar on his sternum where the arc reactor was removed and his chest aches each time he takes a breath. He has callouses in odd places–so does the whole team, really–and there is a permanent bald spot on the back of his head where it has been cut open every time he gets thrown around in his suit.

Spider-Man sometimes forgets which way is up–if you put him in a room with identical walls, floor, and ceiling, he couldn’t tell you which is which. His hands and feet are prickly to the touch, even through his costume. He is very nearsighted.

The Scarlet Witch has no sense of boundaries; if you can’t tell she’s spying on your thoughts, why should she stop? She doesn’t do it out of any malicious intent, just out of curiosity and convenience. She never loses arguments.

Thor speaks about events that happened thousands of years ago as if they were last week. Cats arch their backs and stare at him. Something about him–his eyes, or his skin, or the way he moves–seems slightly off, like he doesn’t belong on Earth at all.

stuff like that.

Dark Stan Lee show me the marvel gothic
