I have exactly one (1) truly Salty Opinion about the MCU. I feel I should stick it under a cut so folks can scroll past it (it involves Tony.)
I hate hate haaaaaaate it when people refer to Tony as “Peter’s real father” or whatnot. Is he a good father figure? Absolutely! But Uncle Ben is Peter’s real father, despite his unflashiness and probable poverty, and I guess…
…as someone who most probably will end up being a adoptive parent, with all the trials and tribulations which go with that, I wish he was the one who got the “real” label.
general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | RAVENCLAW | hufflepuff best quality: Her curious nature and pursuit of knowledge worst quality: It’s hard to say really. Gets caught up in her work too much? But Jane doesn’t really have any terrible qualities. She’s lovely ship them with: Thor! brotp them with: Dr Helen Cho (I think they’d get along if only they were allowed to friggin’ meet) and Valkyrie (ditto, although I think it might take them some time to really be friends) needs to stay away from: The Marvel executives misc. thoughts: God I hope she does make it back to the MCU, somehow, even in just a cameo or something

Thanos too, aaaarrrgh misc. thoughts: I hope she gets a moment to really shine, power-wise, in Infinity War!
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.)
