I simply cannot get over how straight Evans is when he runs, and how little he leans forward.
That’s why he had to do almost all of his own running. They were like, “Chris, you’ll be running today. Tomorrow, we’ll film your double doing flips but today you get to run and run and if you don’t like it, learn to run like other people.”
I understand they also had a tough time finding a stunt man who could double for him because he doesn’t move like most actors. It’s probably better now that they’ve sent him for martial arts training, but evidently the first Cap movie was rough until they started choreographing the fight scenes to a musical beat.
I didn’t know they did that. That is the best thing I’ve heard today.
Star-struck Interviewer: “You must miss the good old days.”
Steve Rogers: “I grew up in a tenement slum. Rats, lice, bedbugs, one shared bathroom per floor with a bucket of water to flush, cast iron coal-burning stove for cooking and heat. Oh, and coal deliveries - and milk deliveries, if you could get it - were by horse-drawn cart. One summer I saw a workhorse collapse in the heat, and the driver started beating it with a stick to make it get up. We threw bricks at the guy until he ran away. Me and Bucky and our friends used to steal potatoes or apples from the shops. We’d stick them in tin cans with some hot ashes, tie the cans to some twine, and then swing ‘em around as long as we could to get the ashes really hot. Then we’d eat the potato. And there were the block fights. You don’t know what a block fight was? That’s when the Irish or German kids who lived on one block and the Jewish or Russian kids who lived on the next block would all get together into one big mob of ethnic violence and beat the crap out of each other. One time I tore a post out of a fence and used it on a Dutch kid who’d called Bucky a Mick. Smacked him in the head with the nails.”
As someone planning to work in museums, I can tell you right now that the Smithsonian probably had to fight tooth and nail to honestly and faithfully represent the diversity of the Howling Commandos. Museums of that caliber are much like libraries in terms of providing free knowledge and are committed to accuracy and proper representation of history.
Especially given the National Air and Space Museum’s history with the Enola Gay controversy (short version: NASM was forced to cancel the planned exhibit because it focused too much on the Japanese casualties of the atom bomb and not enough on the justifications for the bomb or its role in ending the war), it’s far more likely that any erasure of Jones or Morita was caused by competing interest groups and political machinations, not by the curators, exhibit designers, or the Smithsonian Institution itself. They were probably overjoyed at Steve’s righteous anger over weakened representation of Jones and Morita and I can imagine they pulled out their original designs and asked if he could publicly announce his approval for them so they could fix what politics had wrought.
all Bucky wanted to do was get some more tea and now this. Thanks a lot, Sam. You had to fuckin’ tell him, you ass.
Aggressively Progressive Steve Rogers is so what I’m here for.
STeve would unleash and be all “DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WHOOPING COUGH SUCKS?! DO YOU?! DO YOU REALLY?! ARE YOU FUCKIN’ STUPID?! BUCKY, TELL THEM HOW I BROKE TWO RIBS! TELL THEM!”
Omg, new headcanon, Beleaguered Bucky Barnes being grabbed by the shoulders and practically lifted into camera view by Steve shouting about how Bucky needs to confirm some terrible illness because no one else is alive form that time to corroborate any of Steve’s claims. Bucky shyly telling the reporters that yes, Steve did indeed have that thing adn yeah it is dangerous and Steve jumping back into frame like “I told you! I TOLD YOU IT SUCKED SHUT UP JENNY MCCARTHY!”
“AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE?! POLIO!”
“Steve you never had fucking polio-”
“YEA BUT IT STILL SUCKED! KNOW WHAT STOPPED IT?! VACCINES!”
“Oh my God, Steve.”
“I DIDN’T EVNENKNOW WHAT THAT SHOT WOULD DO TO ME BUT I TOOK IT!”
“Steve, that’s… That’s not really a good argument.”
“I DON’T CARE FOX NEWS NEEDS TO STOP USING MY IMAGE!”
“Steve, doll, calm down.”
“I VOTED FOR OBAMA!”
I would love to see Steve at a press conference go “It’s been brought to my attention that there’s a certain idea of what kind of symbol I am for certain positions so I’d like to clear a few things up. *clears throat*
Capitalism sucks, no human is illegal, STOP BEING RACIST, muslims are not terrorists, women can have all the sex they want and that’s none of your business, homeless people are NOT criminal, vaccinations should be mandatory, I’m a flaming bisexual and I should be able to marry who I want and not worry about getting fired for it, rapists should be shot, people should be able to live off of their income without working 3 jobs, and access to appropriate healthcare should be a right not a privilege. Thank you. Oh, and one last thing-
*looks camera dead on with a totally flat expression* Fuck fuckity fuck fuck.” *shuffles papers and walks away leaving stunned silence behind him*
reminder to self to draw that also, complete with reaction shots of all the Avengers
GOD SOMEBODY PLEASE DRAW THIS!!
I just picture Steve, on the issue of slut shaming, being like we don’t talk about that. I don’t talk all about that because I really don’t feel it’s my place… Don’t look at me like that. It isn’t yours either. In fact no one should discuss it. Someone else’s private life isn’t anyone’s business but their own. A lady is a lady and you don’t ever bring it up. Also, vaccinate your kids.
#THIS MAKES ME SO ANGRY #like #STEVE #oh my god #please allow yourself to say five extra words #natasha’s trying so hard to give you an opening #but you’re so damn determined not to bleed on anyone #you would rather bleed to death inside #god #walking wounded steve rogers (x)
This puts a whole new spin to Steve mentioning that his barbershop quartet was dead.
OH, SHIT
Wow, yeah, gallows humor here. I cracked the fuck up.
HEADCANON ACCEPTED SO FAST WE’RE OFFICIALLY SHARING BRAINS LMAO
Bucky’s epic facepalm when he hears it for the first time, Tony’s white face when he hears it. Bruce also has gallows humor (one of his faves is “we few, we band of buggered”), and thus just laughs. Natasha is all SMH, and not sure about Phil and Clint…
Now back to your regularly scheduled head canoning…
BAHAHAHAHA Bucky facepalmed and then joined in, because he knows the harmony. Sam just about DIED laughing but yeah, he can sing that song too, yo - it’s one of those things that have been passed on since forever. Thor thinks it is a delightful war song and will learn it later. Clint knows the song too and joins in.
So Steve has a new barbershop quartet and Natasha thinks they’re all ridonkulous.
Poor, poor Tony…. it doesn’t help that Rhodey knows that song too! :P
