The outcome is only uncertain for those who disbelieve.

Because media can’t stand having butch characters represented. Joss Whedon likes his female kickass characters to be all feminine and appealing to men. Maria Hill is no exception. 

Let me tell you, I am sick and tired of the stereotype that butch characters will suddenly put on dresses and high heels when they need to be part of a formal setting. 

I mean, the fucking gag reel has Cobie almost falling down because of the impractical shoes she’s wearing on those shiny polished floors. I can hear Maria rolling her eyes at the entire thing. Corporate setting or not, if she was wearing pant suits in AoS for fucking congress, why the fuck would she suddenly be in stylish dresses because she’s working for fucking Tony Stark? 

Maria’s butchness is so important to me. Look at the comics where in her free time she’s wearing leather jackets and jeans. But oh no, they have to put her in an (kind of ugly wtf is that jewellery) dress for this movie and give her a leather jacket that people keep thinking is Steve’s rather than her own.

Fuck that shit. Fuck this need to take butch characters and make them all feminine. I respect that in the end she’s back in her SHIELD gear and back to looking hot and like herself, but why is there this urge to put any female character in the most female clothes they can find whenever they’re out of uniform? Why must there be this culture to imply that it is never the character’s choice to look anything but feminine? 

Fuck this movie and its attempts to erase Maria Hill’s butchness. Fuck this movie for having no fucking clue what this character is about and turning her into a lackey of Tony Stark and Nick Fury. Fuck this entire fucking movie for ruining any female’s characterisation and making them secondary to all the male characters. 

Goddammit, I’m not even asking them to acknowledge the butch lesbian that we all know that she is. Just butch. That’s all I fucking ask. Argh.
