Steve and Swearing
Okay, but here’s the thing. Every fan knows that Steve Rogers swears. He’s done it on camera. He did it in Age of Ultron multiple times, hence the running joke.
And yet Steve DID scold Tony for swearing. He scolded him and then flinched and admitted, “It just slipped out.” That implies that Steve is in the habit of scolding someone for language despite using language himself. Why? How? When? WHO? These are the questions that need to be answered.
I wonder if that’s got anything to do with the dissonance between Steve Rogers the Brooklyn kid and Captain America the national hero. Like, he’s just a man, you know? He’s not the perfect little white straight boy scout people think he is – but he needs to be that person sometimes (or he feels he needs to be that person). He’s the hero that people love, he’s probably the one hugging kids and letting them play with his shield and giving autographs and all of that, because let’s face it – who else would do this? Tony? No, Tony’s loved by the media but not by the people, not in the poster boy way Steve is. Bruce? Yeah, I can totally see the Hulk being a nation’s favourite. Not to mention Bruce is probably terrified in huge crowds and he’s shy and a nerd. Clint – definitely not. Thor? He’s not homely enough, he’s alien, everything about him screams not of this world. Natasha? Yeah, let me know how this goes.
So Captain America is the hero of the nation, he’s their perfect protector, honest, fair, courageous, always right. And that can be so very different from who Steve Rogers is. Steve, who grew up in Brooklyn and used to get beat up in alleyways, who used to be the scrawny kid always getting in trouble, who’s everything but white-bread no-personality ideal American citizen. Steve, who swears and cusses like the New Yorker and soldier he is, but who feels the need to live up to the legend, who doesn’t want to let people down.
“Language!”, he shouts at Tony and immediately realises how much of a hypocrite he sounds.
Fancast: Aldis Hodge as Tony Stark
#oh my goddddddd #you just never see a poc in that kind of archetype #tony stark is a power fantasy reserved for white men #i’m automatically a million times more interested in rich kind of dickish superheroes when they are poc tbh #because like imagine being a little black boy growing up so so so smart and so so so alone #half your teachers dismissing you when you get bored and restless because you already KNOW all this stuff #and focusing on your disruptive behaviour that results from that combination of boredom and loneliness #you grow up without any real peers because the other kids at your rich fancy private school are all white #and nobody would ever dare say anything but you’re self-conscious anyway #so you deal with it by being as outrageous as possible because then at least you can control why they look at you askance #your dad’s been trying to prove himself to long gone heroes for as long as you can remember #and your mother loves you but she doesn’t always understand you #they die young and you go off the rails and it doesn’t even sting that they all think you’ve proven them right #because you kind of believe it as well #you’ve grown up never seeing a black boy on the television who wasn’t violent #and even when you get straightened out some with help from rhodey there’s a long fucking way to go #but you reach out and you /demand/ respect because you’re angry and you want justice for all your wrongs #the media never really accept you; they’re hungry for more of your misadventures so they can paint you like a villain #I COULD GO ON BUT I DON’T THINK IT’LL FIT IN THE TAGS (via peppermoonchilds)
Tony Stark as a POC is 100 000 times more relevant than white male Tony Stark
I….I don’t think I’ve EVER seen a poc Tony Stark fancast. Wow. I just realized this. Damn. And this is awesome. Co-sign all the way.
