I really wish I had my hammer. Quite unique. It was made from this special metal from the heart of a dying star. And when I spun it really, really fast, it gave me the ability to fly.
I do what he does, just slower. How does it feel? Like it’s someone else’s. It isn’t.
This is what love looks like.
i have not seen a single thor fan uspet about him gaining weight
i have seen thor fans upset about the fact that thor’s weight gain and every other symptom of his immense depression and grief was played for laughs for the entire 3 hour movie when every other character was allowed to grieve and process on their own terms and with respect
can y’all stop acting like you’re fucking woke for defending chubby thor
chubby thor is not the problem
the presentation of chubby thor as a laughing stock is
@prattprattpratt: I remember being blown away in this moment on the avengers set. Nobody was allowed to film anything on their phones. I said screw it. No rule was going to stop me from seizing this once in a lifetime opportunity to capture this collection of stars, a group that likely will never be in the same room again. We are so blessed.
Since people responded positively on this one, I decided to post this on its own. Thank you for your resilience, your patience, and kindness for focusing on love instead of hate they throw at you. You deserve them as much as they deserve each other.
“You alright?” “Always.”

Present day Steve:
Endgame Steve Rogers
It’s a long read, but written by someone with an understanding of PTSD and depression.
I know a lot of people are saying that Steve going back in time to be with Peggy completely destroys his character growth, however, I believe it fits right in with who he is after coming out of the ice. I have been studying PTSD and depression in veterans for years. It is pretty clear to me that Steve has a severe case of both. Yes he’d been in the modern world for roughly seven years, but in all that time he never truly assimilated. The core part of him longed to go back home, to the time and people he knew. In “Avengers” (2012) he lived in a tiny, barely furnished apartment staring at pictures of dead people. He had flashbacks to the war and talked about people long dead as if they were still alive. In “The Winter Soldier” they made it clear that he spent almost all of his time at work. He had little to no social life. A singular focus on one aspect of life is a common coping technique for someone suffering from PTSD. He wandered around a museum staring at displays of Bucky and Peggy, arguably the two most important people to him. When Sam asked him what makes him happy he answered that he didn’t know. His determination to free Bucky is another indicator that he hasn’t moved on. Bucky was his best friend, but he was also Steve’s only link to his past and the life he grew up with. In “Age of Ultron” Steve invited WWII vets to the party, not modern-day people. In his vision he went back in time to Peggy. In “Civil War” he was notified the moment Peggy died. He obviously spent enough time with her, that whoever was with her when she died knew to tell him. Even him kissing Sharon Carter is am indication of his failure to assimilate. He chose someone who reminded him of Peggy. He threw away his reputation as America’s Hero and Golden Boy away for Bucky, his link to the past. Everything Steve has done from the moment he woke up till the moment he went to be with Peggy screams of a man who never learned to be happy in the modern world. I think in our haste to lift him up as the great, unselfish hero, we forgot that Steve is essentially a young man who lost his entire world. He made friends, and did his duty as Captain America, but he was never truly happy or even content. In the end he was given happiness with the person he loves, which is a truly wonderful gift.
Wonderfully written, and it sheds light on a side of Steve people rarely look at. Thank you!

Paul Bettany as Jarvis/Vision (2008-2018)
Thank you, Paul Bettany, for being there since the very beginning as the voice of Jarvis and later continuing as Vision. It’s been a privilege having you in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The Russo brothers really said fuck continuity, character development, meaningful representation, and especially fuck Thor.
