You are so brave and quiet, I forget you are suffering.
#i was going to meta this but this is kind of too emotionally devastating to meta#we see the men of shield get entire movies and series of their pain and emotions#and see the women in moments like these#small quiet and private moments#and that they get mere moments to grieve just breaks my heart#it’s not that i don’t love getting to see them be lethally competent and getting stuff done because i do#but they’ve lost just as much if not more with the fall of shield#and maria’s defending its ghosts in congress#may’s keeping it together because phil’s the heart of shield now and she has to protect that#nat at least is off rebuilding herself#and i just want them to get time to grieve for themselves and what they’ve lost#maria hill#melinda may#natasha romanoff (via regionsofkindness)

What it was going to be, we were trying to complicate the relationship between Cap and his S.H.I.E.L.D agent friends,” Joe Russo told Screenrant. “If Hawkeye got a call from S.H.I.E.L.D saying Captain America is a fugitive, would he listen to that call or not listen to that call? That sequence actually was heartbreaking for us to cut it. I think it ultimately might have been a conflict with Renner’s schedule. But there was a great sequence where Hawkeye was chasing Cap through Washington D.C. there was an awesome sequence where they confronted each other in a ravine on the outskirts of D.C. and Hawkeye was shooting a series of arrows closing in on Cap, Cap closing in on him. And then Cap took him down and he realized for the first time that Hawkeye was trying to trick S.H.I.E.L.D, where he whispered something into Cap’s ear that Cap had a tracker on his suit and to punch Hawkeye to make it look real, because there was a Quinjet hovering above where they were watching the feedback back at S.H.I.E.L.D.

Captain America: the Winter Soldier co-director Joe Russo on Hawkeye’s scripted cameo, which was cut from the film due to scheduling conflicts.

It’s a shame this scene was cut from the film, as it would’ve added a nice layer to Renner’s Hawkeye that we haven’t explicitly seen before— namely, that he prioritizes personal loyalties over institutionalized rules. That’s a core part of 616 Clint’s character, and an aspect I’d love to see cinematic Hawkeye share with him.

Clint/Natasha (requested by captain1awesome)

A different sort of recommendation – Avengers Assemble – animated series. It is male-centric but when Natasha does show up it is to solve the dudes’ stupid. Good plot lines, snarky smart characters. Falcon is part of the team (he’s younger than the dude you see in CA:TWS).

It plays on Disney and Netflix in the US.

I don’t know about the rest of the world. I imagine it is available from the usual suspects but please do support the creators as best as you are able.

“I watched a lot of documentaries on post-traumatic stress and a lot of army documentaries about the training programs and some of the extreme sort of circumstances that some of those guys that are training to be Navy SEALs and some who are a part of it go through. I was trying to understand what it is, what it means for someone to be desensitized, to no longer question hurting something. I did as much research on all that stuff as I could in order to kind of know what that was like. And then my stepdad actually has Alzheimer’s, so there were parts about watching and studying that kind of disease, also, observing people like that that kind of helped me a little bit.”—SEBASTIAN STAN

But Bucky undergoes transformation in each of his two appearances; The First Avenger is worth re-watching just to observe how well Stan fleshes out Bucky with relatively little material to work with. He starts the movie as a grinning ladies’ man and ends it as a sniper who can barely smile, and by The Winter Soldier his ability to smile is long gone. That the filmmakers chose to end the movie on Bucky’s visage is all you need to know that it’s his story we’re really concerned with. Cap is Cap is Cap. But Bucky is fluid, an evolving character whose struggle is not with the world in which he lives but with the man that world has forced him to become. Bucky Barnes is the one undergoing the Hero’s Journey, not Captain America.
