that’s would be like “the good the bad and the ugly“ xDDD
First World cup I won’t watch.

So, like, here’s the thing. Good people make mistakes. They get emotional and act selfishly, and that doesn’t take away from the good they’ve done. Steve Rogers and Tony Stark are both good people who’ve done bad things. Too many people in this fandom (and everywhere) refuse to see the flaws in their faves. They refuse to understand the motivations behind anybody who opposes their fave. I say “refuse” deliberately, because it requires willful ignorance to decide either of these men are bad people. Quite frankly, all that shit can stay about 7000 light years away from me. It is completely unwelcome here.
raise your hand if you will never not be salty about the lack of development of a friendship between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark in the MCU
awwww...
fandom: MCU ship: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark tags: Crack/Fluff/Humor
(inspired by this post)
“How are we doing, J?”
“Everything in order, Sir.” The robotic voice of the A.I. echoed on the room. “The laser is ready for activation.”
Tony turned on his chair, eyeing the monitor. There it was, right on the wall, in all his star-spangled glory: Captain America, also known as Steve Grant Rogers, also known as Tony Stark’s biggest nemesis.
As a villain, Tony wasn’t a big believer in maintaining long-term rivalries with heroes. He had heard enough horror stories of villains who got so caught up in defeating their counterparts their plans ended up slacking, turning lazy. Having a designated hero to fight could seem simpler in the surface, but in the long term, it just got messy. And if there was one thing Iron Man, twice-named most influential villain of the world by People’s magazine (take that, Gotham city), definitely didn’t need, was for his plans to get messy because of heroes who couldn’t stop sticking their noses where they didn’t belong.
However.
The Captain had been a different case. They came across each other by complete coincidence – Tony was running a very common world domineering plot, definitely not one of his most inspired works, and the Captain showed up with a few people from his team, What’s-His-Name and What’s-His-Name-With-Wings. To Tony’s surprise, the Captain cracked the steps of his plan easily, managing to surprise him when he marched into Tony’s lair, shield in hand, strong posture and confident voice as he turned his azure eyes towards Tony and proclaimed: Nowhere to run, Iron Man.
It had been rivalry at first sight.

Thor and his godly awesomeness
This is so funny
THIS IS THE BEST!
OMG!!!!!!!
This is your friendly reminde that Steve Rogers is a gift in this earth and we should protect and appreciate him.
Why do people like to dismiss genuinely good, optimistic and sweet characters as ‘boring’ or ‘lame’ and make up these ridiculous claims about how they’re not as good enough characters as the sociopathic assholes of every fandom?
1. Why is Ron Weasley kicked to the curb in favor of glorifying the racist and douchey behavior of Draco Malfoy, not even the person Malfoy could become after the War but the smug, elitist, classist, bully we all knew?
Why is Ron, who filled a hole in Harry’s life immediately, became his friend for who he was not for being The Boy Who Lived, who asked his mother to make him a jumper, rescued him from his abusive relatives, got his family to more or less adopt Harry and followed him to hell and back, not get this much attention?
2. Why is Remus Lupin, with all his silent suffering, well-meaning influence, heartbreak, loneliness and love ignored in favor of a sadistic asshole like Snape?
Snape, who spent ages encouraging prejudice, emotionally-abusing Neville, Harry and Hermione and thinking he was entitled to Lily Evans’ love just because he was passably nice to her until he called her a racial slur and then wanted to trade Harry and James’ lives for Lily, thinking he could still have her like she was a possession. He gets Harry’s son named after him and called the Bravest Man.
3. Why is Loki always made out to be this poor misunderstood baby who gets thousands of metas dedicated to why he went on a murderous rampage and wanted to subjugate an entire race and slaughter his own, and act like they weren’t childish outbursts just because he envied Thor?
Why is his villainy always downplayed, his being a monster ignored, in favor him being treated like he’s a better person than Thor, who is dismissed as a ‘boring oaf’ despite being loving enough to want to protect and save Loki after he tried to kill him, their father and millions of humans? Why isn’t he allowed to be the asshole villain he is while Thor is the hero he is?
4. Why did people spend ages after Captain America: the Winter Soldier came out claiming Sam Wilson/Falcon was a HYDRA agent when all he did was be someone who understood Steve as a soldier and truly wanted to help him as a hero and help his hero.
Meanwhile, Brock Rumlow got various redemption theories because he flinched that one time Pierce was erasing Bucky’s memory.
5. Why did that badly-written, murderous, obnoxious, psychopath Theo get more love, attention, interest and ships than Scott McCall himself?
The same goes for Uncle Peter, who was shipped with Lydia and Stiles more than Scott, who has established and loving relationships with? Why is Scott being the all-loving hero such a bad thing?
6. Let’s round up with heroes that are always dismissed by many fans for not being as edgy, angsty or ‘dark’ as their counterparts, Batman and Iron Man.
– Superman, or as we know him, Clark Kent is such a good man, you guys, even when humans feared him, hated him, blamed him for the destruction he saved them from and wanted to capture him and experiment on him because he’s an alien, he still gave enough of a damn to continue saving them.
He got a paranoid nut like Bruce Wayne to open up to him, get Mr. ‘I Work Better Alone’ to set up the League and try his best to help everyone on this godforsaken planet despite the fact that he lost his own and is alone in the universe.
Clark never forgets that despite the fact that he’s the closest thing to a god, that he’s a farmboy from Kansas, because without that tether to humans and their vulnerability and dependance on him he could become the monster Zod is. That hardly gets appreciated!
– Captain America may have faced a boost in popularity lately, but he’ll never get the worship Tony’s increasing petulance and OOC mischaracterization in the Avengers movies. After the Avengers came out there were so many people hating on Steve for daring to argue with Tony, shitting on him for not being sassy like Tony and Loki, for being from the past, making claims that he’s automatically racist, homophobic and misogynistic even though he’s anything but!
Steve Rogers automatically respected Peggy as a woman and a fellow soldier and does the same with Natasha, he formed the Howling Commandos which included a Brit, a Frenchman, an Asian man and a black man and he was in the army for fuck’s sake, he’s made of tougher stuff so of course he swears, has killed people and has seen men partner up in more ways than one. He went against his orders as a soldier to do the right thing, to save captive soldiers, to save New York from being destroyed and save millions from being killed by HYDRA, including Tony himself. What does he get? Old Man Jokes!
I’m not saying we can’t like asshole characters or the proverbial Jerks With Hearts of Gold, but we need to stop acting like the be all and end all of good, admirable characters are the sadists, jerks, the angst-ridden bad boys and self-destructive types. Let’s be honest, yes, they’re fascinating but you wouldn’t to be their friend in real life, they’d exhaust you or end up killing you.
Good people with good intentions deserve love too. Being a good person, being nice, being friendly all the time consistently is hard, being a hero is even harder.
Show these guys some love, please.
