Well, I Mean... I Agree. With All My Hate And Direspect For John Walker, I’m sincerely Happy For Wyatt

Sharon Carter

Hello! As you may have guessed, this post will be about Sharon Carter and my opinion on her.

For the first, I want one thing to be clue - I like her. Really! She is a strong female character, an agent (which is supercool), she is propably really good at her work and she is a loyal friend. But here we go:

I don’t like her and Steve Rogers’ kiss. Nonono, listen here; I’m not angry at her, or on a Steve, I’m angry at that kiss itself. An that’s because:

I tought she is for Steve something like Natasha. A strong and loyal female friend who will punch in the face people you don’t like and she’s still here when you need to talk about things (no matter if they are crazy or serious, she will be there and help you if she can). But still - just as friends! (that’s not #friendzone , I just like to ship #stucky ). Which is I think wonderful status for character, so... Why didn’t MARVEL just let her stay that way?

Steve has a love interest! In cannon, he is with Peggy, and their love is presented as the most romantical ship (they are still in love for each other for more that 70 years being separated, if that isn’t romantical, then I don’t know what is), but in spite of that, Steve kissed another girl like... 5 minutes after his first love’s funeral?! That’s not romantic at all!!! (and also it’s not very respectfull for Peggy) 😡😤😟

She is his niece! Yeah, i know that technically she doesn’t have his DNA or something, but still... I’s weird as hell!

It makes her just another sexualized object in the movie (and social media too)! I think that it’s brutally unfair for Sharon, who is also really good agent of  S.H.I.E.L.D. and loyal hardworking friend and employee, to be seen like ,,villain” or ,,that girl who wants to ruin our beautiful ship (stucky).” I mean - instead of to be seen as ,,a girl who in Civil War helped to Captain America and his friends” (which will be super-feministic because girl hepled to the boys out of trouble, which is exactly that how feminism works), she is seen just as a ,,girl who in Civil War kissed Captain America.” And not just in the MARVEL, but also in eyes of fans. And that’s may the saddest thing here.

Why? Why she even kissed him? And if that just must happend, why it was meant as a romantical kiss? Really there isn’t any other way how to thank to the woman in movie than kiss? No really, I think that hug will  be more than enough (and also cuter), and nobody would prostest, because that movie will without that kiss work still as good as with it. It’s important scene and we don’t need that to happen to understand some future situations. So again - WHY?!?

So, here it is. Ufff, I just needed to write that out. My view is that:

   I like Sharon Carter. But not as Steve Rogers’ girlfriend.

you have encountered a group of trilobites! reblog to help them on their journey

OMG this is sooooooo impressive - personally I was always curious why aren’t girls eating on the screen, when boys do like allthe time. Thank you for noticing this problem!

Also, when I tried to find some gif where is actually a superhero girl eating  substantial food, I found just one (!!!) animated gif. That’s really alarming!!!

It’s wonder woman from DC, and I think it’s really cute

Comic Book Movie Sexism: Food

It’s July 2021.

The MCU has been churning out movies for 13 years at this point. Black Widow finally got her first solo movie (er, despite technically being dead but let’s not get into that…) and I watched the movie eager to see if Natasha would finally be shown to EAT something substantial, and with joy.

The depression sandwich (with out of date peanut butter) delicately nibbled on while crying does NOT count.

Minor spoiler, Natasha does not eat much in the entire movie.

I counted: a delicate spoon of a confectionery (ice cream? Yoghurt? Either way it’s insubstantial food) where the spoon is more visible than what’s on the spoon, and only a delicate lick happens.

And, she chews gum.

THAT’S IT.

Oh, side note, Yelena helps herself to one of Natasha’s 5 years out of date bar (candy? Protein? We will never know), unwraps it to take a bite yet it is obscured by her hands, and as she chews she is definitely not enjoying it.

I have to say, I’m disappointed.

Disappointed, but not surprised. Because the script isn’t written by women, it’s written by men. In fact nearly all the comic book movies are written by men, and directed by men.

Women never eat onscreen.

Let me be more specific: the women protagonists in superhero movies never eat substantial food joyfully.

I’ve already said that depression sandwich doesn’t count.

Neither does the Shawarma scene in Avengers Assemble, because we never see the food enter Natasha’s mouth, and the mood isn’t what I’d call joyful (but if it had visibly been a good bite I would have allowed it).

By all means go watch the clip and see for yourself, we get the usual trick of jaw movement to pretend the actor is eating, then at the very last moment Natasha does LIFT a piece of food… only for the scene to cut out before it reaches her mouth.

Meanwhile three separate men at the table have no problem shoving food into their mouths.

Tony Stark has eaten a fair amount over the course of the MCU…

Sure, you could argue that Tony’s hamburgers and donuts are on the same level as Natasha’s depression sandwich. Heroes only eat when they’re depressed? Great job, Disney.

But there’s still the sexism of how the food is eaten. In that it’s acceptable to watch a man shove food in his mouth, but not acceptable to watch a woman doing it.

Which is likely why the latter is rarely shown across all of Marvel/Disney, or DC/WB.

Wonder Woman licked an ice cream once? (Doesn’t count. Dainty licks of a confectionery is not substantial food.)

Gamora sexily licked a piece of fruit once?

I’ve watched this scene again and again, and I’ve discounted it for multiple reasons. Gamora is pretending to appear at ease, by licking a small piece of fruit and being performative about it.

One could argue she isn’t really eating at all, just licking, to distract Peter before she steals from him.

Also, she obscures her mouth so we the audience see nothing go in.

This is all really sad, if I’m going to be honest.

And it’s not like women can’t eat onscreen in Hollywood, period. Keira Knightley ate in Pirates of the Caribbean. Darryl Hannah ate a specially made vegetarian ‘lobster’ for Disney’s Touchstone pictures.

So why aren’t women superheros eating anything decent?

The only women in comic book movies taking a proper BITE of food or eating substantial food joyfully, are the villains/antagonists.

Nebula and the it’s not ripe gag in Guardians volume 2.

Does it even count if she spits out the food right after the bite? Sigh.

Next, Amanda Waller eating a fine steak in Suicide Squad (2016).

Arguably, showing Amanda cutting up and eating meat is purposeful because in the scene she’s also discussing her new team of disposable soldiers.

It’s symbolic to show her devour meat, and Amanda is the antagonist of the movie not the protagonist.

This leads me onto the only woman protagonist in a comic book movie (that some would still call the villain/antagonist) to have broken the glass ceiling of eating food onscreen.

Harley Quinn.

We all remember how enamoured the character was to have her breakfast in Birds of Prey (2020). In fact, “Harley x Egg sandwich” was practically a ship.

Is this surprising, given that the movie Birds of Prey is unique in having women in creative control from script, to director, to producer?

That has to be the difference.

Harley’s relationship to food seems natural in the movie, and she is shown to eat more than once, and talks about food multiple times.

The scene at the end where Harley finally gets to eat her egg sandwich is clearly a joyful moment.

And so rare to watch in this genre.

Look at that decent bite actress Margot Robbie takes, and ask yourself when did you last see any woman in a superhero movie enjoy food like this?

This may seem insignificant to some, but it’s become something that really irks me.

I was disappointed that Black Widow never got to eat anything except a sad flat expired sandwich in her MCU career.

Meanwhile, back with Harley Quinn again, she’s taking a good bite of apple in the trailer for The Suicide Squad (2021).

She also talks about “going number two”, and it seems that only antagonists or villains in these movies are permitted to speak about bodily needs or functions (we all remember Iron Man peeing in his suit, and even actor Robert Downey Junior described the character as “his own antagonist”), while the women protagonists get to… chew gum or delicately lick confectionery.

Sigh.

It’s unsatisfying.

(If anyone has photo evidence of a woman character shown to be eating in ANY comic book live action, the TV shows too, I’d love to see it. Food MUST go into the actor’s mouth to count! No more delicate licks or delicate sips from a straw.)

Clint Eastwood at home in North Hollywood, photos by John R. Hamilton, 1958.

I'm never going to shut up about how people will inherently create. Even in absolutely dystopian states of the world (the fallout, 1984, the hunger games) there will always be someone who added trinkets to their jacket because they tought it looked cool. In an absolutely desperate situation, you will always have people look at a completely useless thing and go: oooOOhh, shiny! and then attach that scrap of metal to their clothes or necklace.

This post exists because I was thinking about how Julie in 1984 ties the red sash around her waist (to empashize her chest and hips), meanwhile other members ofter have it rather around their arms or like a belt.

even in dystopia, people want to have authenticity. No one can rob us of being original. Not truly - not fully.

OMG your schools really don’t teach u that?! Imean... those are the things I knew when I was like 12. Not cus I’m smart (actually I’m dumb as an oak) but those are really things that everyone should know from school.

Never forget to remind high schoolers who have shit to say about LGBTQ+ and how it conflicts with biology that their public education system is manipulated by govt standards and if they had the chance to take college biology/sociology/history classes they would learn that sex and gender are not the same thing!!!

While on that, they would also learn (presented by a college sophomore):

•America has done some rly shitty things to other countries.

•Black history is way more extensive than they were previously taught.

•For that matter, all POC history is way more extensive than they were previously taught.

•Many historical figures were gay/bisexual. Those sexualities were not invented in the 80s.

•There are also historical figures who were probably trans or preferred to present as another gender.

•Abortion is not literally stabbing a full grown baby. It’s almost always taking a pill that forces a VERY early miscarriage.

•Gender roles and racial stereotypes are social constructs. Biology does not determines certain genders or races do certain things.

•80% of genetic variation occurs within one’s own race. You likely have more in common genetically with someone of a different race than someone of your own.

•The War on Drugs was literally created to target black people. Yes, the government has done many racist things.

•Not all weight gained is unhealthy. It often depends on where it’s gained (so yeah, if you have fat thighs you’re probably still healthy).

•Literature being taught to you is not specifically selected to be queer or feminist. Lots of famous literature just happens to be that way.

•Native Americans had entire cities built before white men came. They were not basically woods-people.

•Islam says nothing about terrorism in any scripture. “Jihad” means conversion, but peacefully.

•Not every Islamic country is oppressive towards women. Many are very lenient.

•Christianity and Islam have so many similarities that their extremists have about the same values.

•Anti-Semitism is a thing that goes back centuries, and did not start with Nazi Germany.

•The singular “they” was actually accepted in Medieval times. People didn’t try to make it solely plural until the 19th century.

•AAVE is a legitimate dialect and formed while American English was still evolving, so no, it’s not just “bad English.”

•White people’s ancestors, who were primarily Norsemen, did not first discover Christianity. They were pagans who learned Christianity from the Romans.

•The Romans had nothing against homosexuality and had a few emperors who fell in love with men (see: Hadrian).

•Eastern religions, though very different from Abrahamic, still have more in common with Abrahamic beliefs than you’d think.

•And finally: college does not indoctrinate you. They are free from the bounds of education put by the government and are allowed to explore more histories. If you’re truly as anti-govt as you say you are, accept college education!!!!

I'm sick of internet negativity, so let's combat it: reblog this and saying something nice/pay a compliment to the prev in the tags.

Yay Stuckyyyyyyyy 💖💖💖 . . . . . . . #stucky #otp #stuckyotp #otpdrawing #draw #stevebucky #mcu #fanart #sweet #sweetstucky #💖 https://www.instagram.com/p/COYNsr9FRaN/?igshid=1i6bcmmhbby2m

Hello, just your daily reminder that Steve and Bucky are gay and in love

Uhm, hello! I just found out a few gifs with heroines eating spme real food:

These are both from Marvel series: Agent Carter.

The woman eating is Peggy Carter, main character of whole series (and my secret crush btw)

I guess the thing she’s eating is something like muffin or like that, and oops, I think I just remembered that you said it can’t be nothing sweet (if I’m right)!

Altought I want to send them to you, because Peggy isn’t only eating while talking in this scene (which is very unprofessional and bold and I love it), but she also has a cream on her face. And think that it’s important, ‘cause we don’t have much chances see female protagonists like this; messy, hungry and/or bold, while also enjoying the food and being happy from that they are eating.

I have one more:

Wanda Maximoff from show WandaVision eating cereals and milk

She is messy, she just woke up and is obvious that she just wants some food and peace - also her hair is disheveled and the clothes are meant just for a lazy day at home, she is chaotic. Soemthin’ you don’t see much in movies or shows, too.

Just my own little  deliberation on the end, you doesn’t have to read it:

eating is actually a bit of an intimate thing - the heroines show us their true selves, let the mask of an "invincible warrior" fall for a moment and they just exist.

They enjoy things(food). And that's why I don't think it's shown very often how heroines (or women in movies in general) eat, because it's a demonstration of how they really are like women - imperfect, unmodified, and happy to be like that. happy to be bold, they are enjoying the food, they know that it’s good to enjoy it when you eat, and they aren’t scared to be seen like this - not some 24/7 sexy goddess who is always at every point in life perfect, but a normal person who needs to eat. Which is, in some perspective very powerful, because it’s women who actually own their bodies; they know their bodies and they aren’t scared to get what they want/need.

(feminist sense just kicked iin, prepare yourselfs);

And i think that men (who are mostly making these movies) just doen’t like women to be seen like this (you know, how they really are). because what if women started actually love themselves? What if they stopped to strave themselfs to death because of the standard of beauty the patriarchy society told them they must be like? What if they strted to be bolder and bolder? What if they actually started love food?!

*the patriarchy society yells and explodes*

They are scared to see us, women, how we really are. It scares them. So they told to us that it’s bad if girls like food. But why should we listen to them?
