Because I’m tired of the “Steve sucks at modern technology” trope. He was picking up and using HYDRA tech that was powered by the tesseract in WWII. And user interfaces were pretty un-intuitive back then — knobs labeled in German or French, most likely. And think about the number of dials and thingamabobs on an airplane control panel! Yes, he’s a man out of time, but it’s probably the social stuff that’s much harder to adjust to. (You can tell he’s recently-thawed because he still insists on wearing at least a button-down shirt and suspenders when out in public.)
I like to think occasionally Stakar gets on the intercom and sets up a joke, and you can just hear the entire ship groan in unison
If you hear crashing over the intercom, that means Aleta is home and kicked Stakar’s ass before he could get past the set up and to the actual joke, and everybody sighs in relief across the whole ship.
At least Yondu can be heard saying loudly “Fuckin’ thank ye!”
Okay, but like. In a universe where Yondu wasn’t exiled – one day, after he’s flown the nest of his own accord, Stakar gets a comm call from Yondu. He’s getting a touch concerned because Yondu’s just sitting there, quiet and small and very un-Yondu like. Just as he’s about to start sending assist ships to converge on his location, assuming there’s been a mutiny or something equally dire, Yondu says in this really desolate voice : “Peter said ‘I’m hungry’ today. An’ I said ‘Hi hungry, i’m captain.”
Captain America would have loved to have helped Thor take on Hela. Unfortunately, he had jury duty,“ Waititi joked. “I was once on a jury in New Zealand where 17 avocados went missing from a local farm. We never found the culprit.”
He pointed out that while Spider-Man wanted to help, he is still in high school. “He couldn’t get his Aunt May to write a note saying ‘Peter Parker can’t come to class today because he’s on another planet fighting gods’.”
Tony Stark was busy as well, but his clothes and glasses do appear in the film.
“Black Widow would’ve pitched in with Thor if she had been free at the time, but she wasn’t free at the time,” he said, maintaining a straight face the whole time. “She was a prisoner for stealing 17 avocados from a local New Zealand farm… wait a minute.
