it was actually a crime for marvel to give us SIX MINUTES of nomad!steve (actual fugitive of 117 nations, most dramatic bitch in town, wears a dirty black uniform with knuckle gloves, the beard, ‘I’m not looking for forgiveness and i’m way past asking permission’) rogers and replace him with his stepford clone
WONDER WOMAN 1984 (2020) THE AVENGERS (2012) Deleted Scene
#i can't #guys I simply cannot #i'mma be crying all day about this #steve's so devastated #i... #asdfghhjjkklll #he can't even kneel gracefully #he simply falls in defeat #i... #excuse me
idk how you watch catws and not pick up on the fact that sam is absolutely a mirror of steve… they even straight up say it in the film.
“I do what he does, just slower”
okay we gonna do this because Sam is a reckless motherfucker that absolutely mirrors Steve’s characterization and i’m goddamn tired of people grossly misinterpreting his character b/c it fits in better with their two dimensional therapy dog version of him
Sam doesn’t like taking orders, he’s not pliant or obedient. He does what he believes is right and damn the rules (sound familiar??). Theres a reason they fucking hit it off so well right from the start.
Following that we have Steve turning up on his doorstep looking like a building got dropped on him. And what does Sam do?
Yeah sure… I’ll let a couple of avengers who just told me everybody is out to kill them into my house. Sounds like a good time. It’s also a bit telling that Sam knows exactly where his suit is. Ten bucks says he’s actually tried to steal it before but couldn’t quite manage it on his own.
And then we start getting into really no holds bar Sam:
Y'all like to forget Sam brought a two inch knife to a gun fight and won. Not to mention, he clearly walks around with a knife on him at all times… not just in his car, but on his person.
Sam gives no fucks and will take you out. Winter soldier? Bitch try it
Some hydra fool who won’t stop talking Nazi nonsense?
Fuck this guy. he’ll take him on in nothing but a fucking t-shirt.
Oh and remember that building that Steve jumped out of? Might as well top that by jumping out of the same one, just about 20 stories up.
Cool, cool, cool.
Going feet first towards the rotor blades of a helicopter, knowing if you miss your legs are mulch?
No problem.
Steve wants to track down an international maybe still brainwashed assassin?
When do we start?
And of course, this wouldn’t be complete without the penultimate Steve/Sam comparison.
So to everyone who trashes him, or does him a disservice by making him out to be nothing more than a therapist who can fix Bucky and Steve I have one thing to say. In the immortal words of the legend Samuel Thomas Wilson himself, “Man, shut the hell up.”
Together? Together. Today, tomorrow, always.
steve: our mission is to rescue hostages
natasha: no that’s your mission
steve:
Iconic
Steve and Tony + Making the Sacrifice Play
“Did anybody ever tell you you’re a little paranoid?“
“Not to my face, why? Did you hear something?”
Steve going undercover: still gotta show off that giant identifier/target in the middle of his chest.
Well at least it’s not this:

Ah yes it’s that beautiful time of year once more. The bees are buzzing, the flowers are blooming, Steve Rogers’ face is on every single thing at the grocery store. What a time to be alive.
Steve’s internal monologue
P.S. I love Nick, Sharon & Tony and I know Steve respects all of them!! But just maybe…not in these particular moments :P
This is the most accurate Steve internal monologue I’ve ever heard.
I really never noticed how he looks at her in this scene. Damn. STEVE YOU SMOOTH BASTARD
Steve’s butt is very disappointed in someone.
[From Avengers #23, 1999.]
I was looking for something else in my Captain America tag but I decided it was time to bring Disappointed Butt back.
