Captain America - Blog Posts
I saw a post on Instagram about how Captain America dying would’ve been better than Iron Man. I honestly agree. The writers intended for Cap to miss Peggy and feel disconnected from the current world. Add those components to his self-sacrificing attitude and him making the wish would’ve made sense and been good. I know Iron Man’s final development was to throw away his arrogance and sacrifice himself but I would’ve much rather him retire with his family and help the world by making inventions for the better of the world and start a new generation of Iron Man.
What do you guys think?
The only valid ship dynamic:
Person A: HOHOHOHOHO TIME TO DO SOME DUMB SHIT
Person B: DO A FLIP!
*later, when the dumb shit went horribly, horribly wrong*
Person B: you fucking idiot, what the hell is wrong with you. That was so incredibly stupid, I cannot believe your dumbass really thought that was gonna fucking work out, I TOLD you it would go bad!
Person A: *in a full body cast* worth it
All the serum really did was upgrade Steve from a twink into a twunk and y’all know that shit hit Bucky like an oncoming train.
can we talk about sam's knife skills yet? I would love to get more sam and knife action.
I want you guys to really THINK and COMPREHEND that sam wilson, with nothing but civilian clothes and a knife on his person, went into a fight with hydra goons and came out with a gun.
THIS BITCH, literally went into a gun fight with a knife and came out with a gun. Just think about that for a while.
We’ve all been wearing masks for the last few years to prevent the spread of covid-19 and still could recognize each other, or at least the people that we saw daily, and yet no one has addressed superhero masks that cover like their eyebrows and the bridge of their nose. By those half mask standards, I have a secret identity too. We all do. Except the Karens who wouldn’t wear masks. They’re the villains who want attention from the media. #artimitateslife #andlifeimitatesart
But like seriously, superhero masks are something we should just call plot holes by 2020 after the coronavirus mask mandates. Just think about the whole love square in Miraculous Ladybug. Listen, Marinette, if I can recognize my crush when the bottom half of their face is covered then you should be able to recognize Adrien in what is essentially a pair of sunglasses. Guess you haven’t longingly stared into his eyes as much as the show would have us believe.
There’s also Steve not recognizing Bucky on the bridge before his muzzle fell off (though I will give him a break because his bf HAD been dead for over seventy years to his knowledge) so from now on I will be imagining that the Russos just forgot to show us Steve’s inner monologue of “isn’t that Bucky?? No Bucky is dead :( wait but what if it is Bucky?? I mean Coulson came back. And Loki. Loki has come back many times. Wait okay no I think I’d recognize that icey blue glare from decades away, that’s the Bucky look for ‘Steve I told you not to do the thing why did you do the thing I’m gonna kill you’ except this time he’s actually trying to kill me,,,, oh is hIS MASK FALLING OFF oh is that his mask there on the ground oH I KNEW IT WAS “Bucky??”
And I know people have talked about why it actually would make sense that the lack of glasses would make it hard for the world to know that Superman is Clark Kent but I’m gonna bring this one up anyways because guys we can all recognize one of our coworkers without their glasses on there is NO WAY that Lois Lane a woman who’s PROFESSION is deduction of events which she then reports to the general public cannot recognize her coworker in a costume. If you saw the lady who works at the front desk in a cheerleader outfit you’d still know it was her, but Lois can’t for some reason do the same with Clark?? She does her journalism all day with her right hand man Clark by her side RIGHT UP UNTIL she reports on Superman (which she does quite often, might I add) who is just Clark in spandex and No Glasses™️ and you’re telling me that this lady has no idea they’re the same person??? She works with one of them all day and then is gazing at reporting on the other one the rest of the time and has no idea??? Also I get that Clark is the alias and he’s actually Superman the man from Krypton which is why he makes less effort to conceal his face as Superman because that’s him and Clark covers up with glasses because it’s a clever plot device to show which one is his true self, but can we talk about how he MAKES LESS EFFORT TO CONCEAL HIMSELF AS SUPERMAN AND YET ALL THE PEOPLE HE KNOWS AS CLARK STILL DO NOT KNOW HE IS SUPERMAN???
I’M OFFICIALLY COMING FOR ALL COMIC BOOK ARTISTS, DIRECTORS, ANIMATORS, AND PRODUCERS WHO DON’T COVER THEIR CHARACTERS ENTIRE FACE AND PRETEND THEIR IDENTITY IS STILL IN TACT. IF THE PANDEMIC HAS PROVEN ONE THING ITS THAT IF YOU KNOW A FACE YOU KNOW THAT FACE AND HALF A MASK DOES NOT CHANGE THAT SEND TWEET
And here you’ll see my husband, looking dapper as ever
A semi-stable 100 year old man. 🥺
Wow, this really would’ve had me crying for at least ten full minutes two years and some odd months ago. Huh.
To wipe out half of the universe with the snap of his fingers
T’Challa Udaku and Steve Rogers are the two bigggest simps in the MCU.
So last night I had this dream where I was looking at a gif set of Steve and Bucky kissing as Steve died, and it was super sweet and dream-me was all like “Awww, I’m glad that they at least made it canon before he died.” And then I woke up all happy that Stucky was canon. And then this hide wave of sadness hit me when I remembered that it’s not. That wasn’t real. That didn’t happen. It was just a dream. Endgame didn’t end with Tony getting to watch his daughter grow up, obviously. And Steve didn’t take the gauntlet from T’Challa and do the snap. And in Steve’s dying moments his century-long relationship with his one true love wasn’t confirmed with a kiss. No, it ended with him leaving Bucky and then not even giving him a glance while talking to Sam about how he ditched them for a girl in the forties. So yes, Erica, one COULD say that I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning
No one will notice we’re gone…
Captain America & Superman
You know how when Marvel is compared to DC people say that Captain America and Superman are synonymous? Or Iron Man and Batman are? I would like to propose that we switch those. I don't think Captain America and Superman are good comparisons.
Argument number 1 : Captain America is a team player, Superman is not. One of Superman character flaws, something he has to overcome, is that he thinks he can or should protect the world alone. He can lift it alone, and so he should. He struggles with control because when things are outside of his control he feels responsible when they go wrong. He feels he should be able to protect everything, because he has the power, but as only one man he often fails in the scope of it. He may be able to solve every problem, but he can't see every problem. One of the first thing any adaption of the Justice League origin story has to overcome is Superman trying to fight the bad guy alone. Captain America is the literal opposite of that. He is the most team player team player, and when he can take a mission with a team he does. He doesn't shy away or panic at not being able to control every problem or fix every problem, he acts calmly under pressure. He works on teams.
Argument number 2 : Superman is the team leader, Captain America is not. Superman, at least later on in stories (And I don't mean like later editions, but just later on in the stories, like after justice league formations), is genuinely the leader of the Justice League. He calls people together, he addresses issues. Batman is nominally the leader as well, as in he calls attention to problems and offers solutions, but it's Superman who often makes the final calls. Captain American can not be said to often make the final call. He can call orders in combat, and maybe lead missions, but it's either Shield or his fellow Avengers who call missions. In fact, most of the Avengers can be the leader at different times, depending on the situation. Captain American and Iron Man are the leaders of the Avengers in equal measure.
Argument number 3 : Superman's No-kill rule, and Captain America's willingness to kill. I think this relates to Superman's feelings that only Superman can keep Superman in check. And he's not wrong, which means if Superman doesn't have hard morals, then he doesn't get to be Superman. Captain America doesn't have those issues. Captain America was taught combat in war, and made his morals there too. He has mercy, don't forget that, but he also doesn't see killing as the be all end all of morality.
Counter Argument number 1 : Both Superman and Captain America deal with the narrative question of "Are they necessary?" And the conclusion is that they aren't. Superman can retire, so can Captain America. They aren't necessary for the world to go on. But they have inspired people who often carry on their legacy. Superman has inspired plenty of the Justice League to be better heroes, and plenty of Super-boys who came after. Captain America also inspired heroes, and plenty of people who try to take up the mantel after he's gone. And their success depend on how much they understand themselves and what they stand for, and overcome who Superman and Captain America were.
Counter Argument number 2 : Clark Kent and Steve Rogers are very similar. Both are small town guys who view themselves as Clark Kent and Steve Rogers first, and Superman and Captain America second. I think their civilian identities are good comparisons.
Secondary Arguments 1 : I think Iron Man and Superman have more similar narratives. Both have these sense that their skills and powers are dangerous and they need to be their own moral compass. Both are scared of their own powers in a way. Stark is scared of his tech being misused and also running from his weapons dealer past. I've already explained Superman's fear. I know that Iron Man isn't exactly no-kill but he's one of the guys who I could see having that rule.
Secondary Arguments 2 : I think Batman and Captain America have similar fighting styles and approaches to missions. I don't think they'd agree or have similar narratives but I think they'd fight side by side well.
Closing thoughts : I love all four of these characters and I think all have incredibly intricate and interesting narratives, and so I think comparing them also leads to interesting discussions. Ultimately I think that their worlds are different to find exact comparisons, but it's still a fun draw to make. What are your thoughts?

This is an idea of what it would be like if there was a universe where the many characters of Marvel and DC Comics are one, that is, a fusion of both franchises. Also, I know that the Amalgam universe exists but in this universe there are some fusions where they are different, for example Hawkeye and Flash and Black Widow and Black Canary and many more will be mentioned in the future and maybe by luck I will be able to ask for an art request to create this external universe.
Bucky: Why do you hang out with me?
Steve: Well, you’re one of the best things that ever happened to me.
Bucky: …
Bucky: I feel a bit sorry for you then.

When people don't know if Sebastian Stan and Margarita Levieva are still dating but then you low-key think they still are from Sebastian's comments on some of her photos. 😂 He wants to keep it private but still needs to praise the woman in his life!
So, in Avengers: Infinity War, if Tony goes back in time and brings past!New York Fight!Steve to the present and Bucky is still around when Tony brings him through time. How will Steve react while he sees Bucky, standing in front of him? Like, what would Steve's facial expression be when he sees Bucky, long haired, metal arm and scruffy Bucky?? Like, what will happen??
I don't know what I'm doing anymore 😂😂
Steve has a twin sister, known as Nicole 'Sarah' Rogers, in this and she took the serum just like him but survived the WW, after the war he changed her name to Sarah Daniels. She helped Peggy and Howard founded S.H.I.E.L.D and helped Howard look after Tony but left after staying till Tony was 16.
Steve wakes up, 70 years into the future. He wakes up to realised that he become a national icon to America, that they made comics about him and had a whole section at the Smithsonian just for him and the Howling Commandos. He wakes up believing his home is gone. To a world where he couldn't make weird, witty jokes with the commandos, smile at Peggy like a love sick puppy or look at Bucky as if his whole world is within his best friend's hands.
He soon finds out that he isn't truly alone in this cold, lonely world that only shows black and white. He finds out that Peggy is still alive but the Howling Commandos has passed away during the early 2000s. He finds guilt and anger well up inside him but he had no reasons to be angry, he should be the one they should be angry at... He shows up at the care home that Peggy was staying at, with guilt heavy in his chest. Peggy takes a few seconds to recognise him but when she doesn't, his heart breaks. He left his best gal all alone and yet she found happiness, something he wanted for her. They talk for a few minutes before Peggy forgets again and Steve had to watch as Peggy recognises him again... He had to leave his best gal behind because he needed to save the world, needed to save the people that have families or young children that still have so much ahead of them. He tells that to Peggy, tells her that he would do anything to protect the world and keep her safe but doesn't tell her that it was suppose to stop the guilt, that is still in his chest, the guilt he felt when he couldn't even save Bucky from the fall on the train.
He doesn't say anything though, he keeps the smile on his face and keeps himself in check because he's Captain America, and Captain America has to be strong for the people out in the world. Suddenly, 2 years have flown by and he's on a case, finding this assassin that was suppose to be a myth, The Winter Soldier. Steve does find him, well, the Winter Soldier finds him and his friends but he's no longer the Winter Soldier now. No, instead he's his best friend from Brooklyn, the guy that stuck by him through thick and thin, he's his Bucky. The Bucky that he couldn't save, the Bucky that didn't deserve whatever happened to him while in the hands of Hydra.
Steve fights Bucky, it's a bad thing because Steve couldn't concentrate on fight but only on the thoughts that he could've saved Bucky, he could've landed the plane. Could've told Peggy his coordinates and had that date with her. Could've stopped Howard from being like that to Tony and his wife and help save Bucky from Hydra again before it become so severe. But what happened, happened. He couldn't go back in time and change everything, instead he has to learn to live through he regrets and guilt and help get Bucky back, help Bucky with the pain he's going through.
After the fight on the helicarrier, Bucky disappears and Steve tries going back to how it was before he found out that the person he was hunting was his best friend. The best friend he thought had died from his fall from the train. Instead, he puts on his mask again, Sam and Natasha know it's a mask but they don't question it because they know Steve would lie to them, like he was lying to himself every day for the past two years. Only one year passes and he slowly gets through it, having his friends with him helps him get better a bit. But then things get bad again because Tony and Bruce designed a robot that now wants to get rid of the human race. So they fight. That's what Steve is good at, fighting and using his body as a shield for people that hasn't got quick healing like he does.
The fight ends and Ultron is defeated but Sokovia is in a bad bad state, lots of people's lives have been lost, including Wanda's brother and god does Steve understand what she's feeling because now, now, he starts thinking about his sister. God, his twin sister, the other person that stuck with him and encouraged him through things that he wanted to do, the person who also took the serum and servived. The person that Steve didn't have to see die during the war. And he feels the guilt again, so he stands next to Wanda, telling her it would be okay and helping her through the sadness and guilt throw the years.
Another year goes by and now he's found Bucky. Bucky who doesn't remember him but remembers something's from the past. "Read about you in the museum." Bucky says to Steve and Steve... Steve has to keep the tears from welling up from his eyes because that's not how he wants Bucky to remember him but he doesn't complain, instead he's there, helping Bucky fight the police force that is after Bucky. He's helping Bucky escape because that's what he can to do get forgiveness from not being able to stave him from the fall. When they get caught, Steve becomes a fugitive and that means that he doesn't have to hold himself in check now, doesn't have to have a bright on his face. But that still stays on even if he wants to take it off.
The doctor that was questioning bucky, makes Steve feel uncomfortable, he doesn't why but his gut is telling him that something is about to go wrong. And it does, Bucky breaks out of the weird prison and then the 'doctor' isn't seen again. Bucky fights his way through the facility and leaves. Steve and Sam find him later, Steve puts Bucky's metal arm in a metal holder in case they aren't talking to 'Bucky'. When Bucky does wake up, he has all the memories, ranging from Steve and his twin to the army and the fall. Steve shed some tears but wipes it away quickly before smiling brightly that he has his friend back. They get him out of the hold and tell him everything, tell him that they were on the run because they didn't sign the accords but that's okay, as long as he has bucky.
Then there's the fight between Steve's team and Tony's team. Steve and Bucky get out of it and travels to the place where Zemo is but then Tony turns up and says that he believes Bucky is innocent and Steve thinks that his 'family' is going to become okay but then Zemo destroys that. Shows the actually scene on what happened to Tony's parents, leaves the video playing long enough for Bu- no, for the Winter Soldier to look up at the camera and shoot at it. Tony's is angry and Steve understands he does but it wasn't Bucky but Tony doesn't listen. At the end of the fight, Tony is lying on the floor, babbling about how the shield belongs to his father, which it does but it has the marks of Peggy, so he lets it go. Like he did to everything else, he helps Bucky, the only person he can't leg go anymore, up and walks out of the vault, leaving Tony behind. When Tony does get back to the Avengers building, he's found helping Rhodes with is leg paralysis but he's getting better and Tony can tell. Then a parcel is there for him, a phone, sitting there, in the box, waiting patiently before being tipped out with a letter and it's from Steve. The same Steve that never leaves behind any family members, even if they are behind bars. This, Tony knows and doesn't discuss with Ross, hanging up on him within the first minute. He stares at the picture that's on his desk and it's him, Jarvis, his mum and dad along with Peggy and Sarah. Smiling brightly in the coloured photo, but he wonders who Sarah was other than his dad and Peggy's friend...
This may have been thought of already!!
What if, Steve and Bucky were actually secretly dating each other during the 1940's but they didn't want people to know so Bucky took on the roll of being a ladies man and tried to get Steve to have a double date with him because then Bucky could be with Steve while on a 'Date' with the girl. Like, what if they came out to the Howling Commandos and their responses was like,"That's great sarge! Congratulations, deflowering the Cap!!" Like what if they were really happy and then Bucky falls off the train and Steve couldn't live without him so he just contemplates suicide for a bit and Peggy tries to help him through it cause she's a good friend! Like what if, Steve's 'sacrifice' was actually an attempted suicide so Steve could be with Bucky... But then finds out he's been sleeping for 70 years and he couldn't be with Bucky at all until he finds out that Bucky is the Winter Soldier and then he thinks his life is back, his home.
Only to find out that he doesn't remember and then his home is ripped away from him again. Only to find out again, that Bucky is getting his memories back slowly and Steve has to protected his home, even if it means to fight Tony, a man that understands him in the PTSD and guilt department.
Like, this may have been thought of but I just want to put what I think out there. 😊
not as good as I wanted, but I still like it :∆
Team Cap is for the righteous ones that have strong morals and won't let anything change that, no matter what.
Team Ironman is for the cool kids.
And then there's the Revengers. They're just a group of mentally ill homosexuals...
