Evelyn and Rick being ✨GOALS✨ since '99
casual intimacy kills me every time. grand gestures are cute and all but seeing two people who are just totally comfortable with having each other in their space, who dont think twice about leaning into each other and thoughtlessly holding each other while doing unrelated things….. thats love
“This isn’t about beating him [Ultron], it’s about whether he’s right.” (About the Avengers being a threat to the world.)
Okay so tbh I don’t often rewatch the Avengers movies, but holy SHIT does Steve Rogers make my heart ache.
In the middle of all the shit that’s going down for him (and the world) in AoU, he does not for one SECOND forget that fighting isn’t about winning. It’s about correcting what was wrong before the fight and making things better after the fight. (If they win by putting people in danger and putting more evil into the world, then Ultron is right. And they haven’t won at all.)
THAT is Steven fucking Rogers. THAT’S the skinny kid who wouldn’t stand down. THAT’S why he’s not a perfect soldier (because a perfect soldier wins no matter what), but a good man (because a good man can see and remember what’s really important).
(Plus: that’s why he gives Tony the phone at the end of Civil War. Why he always cares about the civilians. Why he stands up against Thanos alone.)
(It’s not about winning, it’s about fixing what was broken. To Steve Rogers, breaking more things in order to win is losing.)
(And also why he wouldn’t fucking DO THAT at the end of Endgame.)

Steve Rogers in Captain America: The Winter Soldier
nah since marvel is trending again I’m going to say it again louder for the people in back — canon steve rogers would never have chosen an “idyllic 1950s white pickett fence life” because the only place that man belonged was a picket LINE. the whole point of his character was that his work was never done. there was always going to be another oppressor, another bully, another person who takes advantage of the underprivileged for him to stand up to. from the moment he gained consciousness he, a chronically ill son of a working class mother living below the poverty line, used his voice and his body to protect & fight for what he believed in. I’m not sure there was ever a time pre-super soldier serum where he didn’t have a black eye. he could put the shield down all he wanted but he could never retire from being steve rogers — someone who never once turned a blind eye, who never once wanted a “reward” for his work, who never once abandoned his friends. this isn’t up for debate. this is almost a century of comic book & film/animated precedent. he may have been a man out of time, but in his words “it’s tempting to want to live in the past. it’s familiar, it’s comfortable. but it’s where fossils come from”

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
I think he’s become—and I’ve said this to him—for as amazing as all of our actors are at embodying these characters, every single one of them, he’s one that reminds me, alongside Christopher Reeve, as just like ‘these are the characters.’ I think he’s a great actor, and I think he can do whatever he wants to do, but even when you look at his Twitter account and taking a stand on things, it’s like, ‘Is he becoming Captain America?’ - Kevin Feige
