I rewatched The Avengers today and I finally realized why Steve is such an ass. I can’t believe I never understood before.
Steve literally crashed a plane into a glacier over the Tesseract. He lost his best friend and the opportunity to be with the love of his life over the Tesseract. Of course he’s pissed off and unwilling to help when Fury comes to bother him about the fucking Tesseract.
This is the same fight he fought in during WWII. It’s the fight they told him he won when they defrosted him. Of course he’s mad. Probably betrayed and frustrated, too.
I was always disappointed in The Avengers for depicting Steve this way and now I’m embarrassed because I never understood the reasoning behind it. I’ve seen the light.
Not only that, but at the time of The Avengers, Steve has been out of the ice for two weeks. He lost his best friend, the love of his life, everyone and everything he’s ever known two weeks ago. He fought Red Skull and saw the Tesseract vaporise him into thin air two weeks ago.
And then Fury interrupts Steve’s PTSD flashback at the gym to tell him S.H.I.E.L.D. found the Tesseract and promptly lost it to yet another villain bent on world destruction, and Steve is all Jesus F. Christ, I JUST did this!
And then, as if that wasn’t bad enough, Steve discovers that S.H.I.E.L.D. was using the Tesseract to build HYDRA weapons of mass destruction (because S.H.I.E.L.D. is HYDRA, shhh!).
It hasn’t been two weeks since Steve saw whole army battalions vaporised and smashed a plane into the Arctic Ocean to prevent the exact same weapons of mass destruction from reaching New York! And here they are again! In New York, in the hands of his supposed “allies,” who lied to him about their purpose for wanting the Tesseract back!
Steve doesn’t like bullies, he doesn’t care where they’re from. In The Avengers, he realises he’s working for the new bullies and doesn’t have a choice if he wants to save humanity.
So yeah, Steve is pissed. He f–ing hates that f–ing Tesseract, and he’s 100000% done with it and with S.H.I.E.L.D. making all the same mistakes again.
Archie, (Aurora) had already met Diane (A-random-Mod) and wanted to introduce me to her. So I said Okay? We lived in like NYC for some reason and so I went down a flight of stairs and was suddenly in her apartment. She was like way super pretty and was like- really stunning. Archie goes, “Kylie, this is Diane-” but she was asleep so it was all weird and awkward and quiet. Suddenly she wakes up and mutters, “Someone’s eating my cereal- and I don’t like that.” and so we get up to investigate this cereal killer and we go into the kitchen to see Whisper (Whispermedic) pouring himself a bowl of cheerios. He had his earbuds in and was dancing around the kitchen and we all just watched.
The dream ended with Diane scowling and whispering, “I don’t like it when people eat my cereal.”
Wait, was I the one asleep?
you were
and you woke up because someone was eating your cereal
and you didn’t like that.
I can see myself getting mad at someone for eating my food without my knowledge. I don’t like people taking my things
