As someone who loves my son Steve Rogers, I have to say that he could never kick Diana’s ass, like literally, and also he would never do that, because Steve Rogers would grow up idolising the mysterious hero from WW1, and would probably swoon if he got to meet her, would call her “ Your Majesty” unironically, until Diana has to literally punch him to make him stop, and even then, he’d call her “Ma’am” with the utmost respect, and also he’d follow her to Hell and back without blinking.

@next-great-adventure AND THEN THEY WOULD START A PODCAST

They would meet in Vichy France, and after he settled down around her they’d be fine. She’d call him Steven (because it still hurts a little to say Steve). She would teach him the Shield move, and when she called for it in battle he would crouch down with his shield raised, waiting to feel the impact of her boots, then launch her forward – at a line of panzers, across battlements. He would take half a minute to watch in awe as the dust billowed around her landing, watch her upend tanks and pulverize fortifications. Then he’d sprint after, taking out machine gun nests and artillery, and the Wehrmacht would have another tale of the two Allied soldiers with shields who they could never, ever defeat.

I so love the idea that little Stevie Rogers read about and idolized the mysterious superwoman who aided the Allies in the Great War.

I love “Patriotic Leotards” as a friendship OR a romance. Or as a mutual admiration society long before they meet in person.

I’m officially taking it as canon now that the reason Steve knew how to properly launch Natasha at the Chitauri is cuz Diana taught him, and no one can tell me different.

Imagine Peggy introducing them though. After Steve gets his round shield and is messing around trying to figure out how to use it, Peggy says, with a sly smile on her face, that there’s someone he needs to meet who can help him out. 

Like, Steve at first is thinking this tall, dark haired woman with the maybe greek??? accent is just one of Peggy’s friends in the SSR. Competent and skilled but a normal human. At least until she takes his shield, hefts it without any sign of strain, and then whips it across the target range and decapitates a practice dummy. She and Steve spend a good three hours working out how to get the shield to come back to him, they bounce it off defunct tanks and walls and Ms. Prince may or may not have accidentally/on purpose split the tank’s gun in half with one shot.

 Later the conversation turns to how Ms. Prince is a dear friend of Peggy’s mother, Etta Carter nee Candy. 

This just keeps getting better. Reblogging especially for that last headcanon.

ETTA CARTER.

OMFG YAAAAASSSSSSSSS

M’Baku Won’t Be Called Man-Ape In ‘Black Panther’

“We don’t call him Man-Ape,” executive producer Nate Moore said. “We do
call him M’Baku. Having a black character dress up as an ape, I think
there’s a lot of racial implications that don’t sit well, if done wrong.
But the idea that they worship the gorilla gods is interesting because
it’s a movie about the Black Panther who, himself, is a sort of deity in
his own right.” 

“You learn that M’Baku is essentially the head of the
religious minority in Wakanda and we thought that was interesting,”
Moore said. “Wakanda is not a monolithic place. They have a lot of
different factions.”

Director Ryan Coogler also spoke about how M’Baku evolved as a
character when the writers began to treat Wakanda like it was an actual
place in Africa.

“A lot of the writers who did some of the most
interesting work around the character, they treated Wakanda like a truly
African country,” Coogler said. “When you go to countries in Africa,
you’ll find several tribes, who speak their own languages, have their
own culture, and have distinct food and way of dress. They live amongst
each other, and together they make the identity of those countries.
That’s something we tried to capture. We wanted it to feel like a
country, as opposed to just one city or town.”

“In M’Baku’s worldview, T’Chaka made a huge mistake going to the U.N.,”
Moore says. “‘We should never engage with the outside world. That’s a
terrible mistake. And if his son is anything like his father, I don’t
support him being on the throne.’ Politically, he just has different
ideology,” says Moore, who compares the mountain tribe to one of the
deadly rival “five families” in The Godfather. “Man-Ape is a problematic
character for a lot of reasons, but the idea behind Man-Ape we thought
was really fascinating. … It’s a line I think we’re walking, and
hopefully walking successfully.”

… dare we hope that Marvel is (a) learning the value of worldbuilding and (b) losing a little of their tone-deafness? Marvel’s clearly aware that some of their older comics canon has not aged gracefully in terms of social mores, but they have at times put their foot squarely in their mouths when trying to do the right thing. Perhaps being up-front about what and why instead of doing damage control afterward is a sign of a lesson learned?
