tiny transparent wintershock for your dash ❤️️
alexander pierce and wilson fisk are the mcu’s scariest, most effective villains not because they can control armies of aliens/robots/whatever, but because they can control people. they are frightening because they are absolutely ruthless in the ways in which they manipulate, intimidate, and flat-out murder people to further their own ends.
they are believable because we can identify with their concern and love for those they care about; they do not exist in a vacuum. they have daughters and grandchildren and girlfriends and mothers, and they care about their loved ones.
and they are horrifying because they believe that what they are doing is right. they aren’t in the game for the sheer love of being evil; they’re in it because they believe so fervently that their way is the best way–because they conflate the expedience of eliminating “undesirables” with doing the right thing.
pierce and fisk are terrifying and i love it.
writing trauma & survival: a Marvel primer
After several months of reading and writing in Marvel fandom, I decided that I wanted to write a primer on trauma from the perspective of being a trauma survivor and coming from a disability studies background. You might be interested in the stuff in here if you’re writing about Bucky post-CATWS, Sam’s counseling practice, or the experiences of any number of Marvel characters. I’m drawing on a variety of articles, zines, and books, all of which are available to read online or download.
Deconstructing Captain America: The Winter Soldier
“But I knew him.” – The Winter Soldier
This line from the Winter Soldier moments before he was about to be electrocuted is not just stating that James Buchanan Barnes has remembered his best friend Steve Rogers. It was more than that.
It was a plea.
Bucky Barnes was pleading Hydra. He was pleading them not to wipe him. He was pleading them not to make him forget again. He knows, after he’s wiped yet again, they’re going to send him back on the field to finish the mission. He was pleading them not to kill the man on the bridge, a man he knows he knew. He was pleading for help, because he knows, after he’s wiped, it won’t matter if Bucky Barnes knew you; he will definitely kill you if he was commanded by Hydra.
He’s like a child, trying to argue with his parents when they told him not to play with the other children.
He’s been trying to fight Hydra. He’s been fighting Hydra since 1945.
And this fact makes me fall in love with both the character named James Buchanan Barnes and the actor named Sebastian Stan.
marvel character guide: steve rogers / captain america
okay. i’m not trying to be that blogger who gets angry and complains about her fandom, but for a few minutes i’m gonna be that blogger. bear with me, please? i’m really sorry.
agent carter is NOT doing well. it’s just not. we can debate about it all we want, but already entertainment weekly is reporting it as a potential “flop.“ and that is beyond infuriating to me, because this show and this character is excellent.
is the plot breaking bad? no, of course not. but it is well-acted and engaging and, above all, entertaining. these actors have poured themselves into the project (especially hayley atwell). rotten tomatoes gave the show a 97% freshness rating. that is a good score. an awesome score. but each week, ratings slip, and now the show has dipped down into abc’s ratings “red zone.” that is just unacceptable.
if all the sjw and feminist bloggers are really as gung-ho about female representation as they say they are, then they need to back this project. this is the only female-led title on the marvel line-up until 2018. it needs support. it needs overwhelming, earth-shattering support.
if everyone in the marvel fandom claims to love peggy as much as we do, we need to do more for this show. that means fan art out the wazoo. i want so much fanfic that i have to blacklist it from my dash. i want pictures of eight-year-old girls dressing up as peggy carter. i want us each watching the show (LIVE, please) and then watching the DVR playback. and then i want us watching it on the abc website the next day. twice. three times. just play it in the background while you make lunch, i don’t care. give it attention.
please. again, not to be that blogger but – "spread this like wildfire.”
peggy may not have the brand name of captain america, but she has just as much power.
