GET TO KNOW ME: Favorite Male Characters (1/5) ↳ STEVE ROGERS

I’ve been on my own since I was 18. I never really fit in anywhere, even in the army. My faith’s in people, I guess. Individuals. And I’m happy to say that, for the most part, they haven’t let me down. Which is why I can’t let them down either.

the first avenger: dr. erskine said that the serum wouldn’t just affect my muscles, it would affect my cells. create a protective system of regeneration and healing.

age of ultron: thor establishes that steve is not mortal.

endgame: we’re just gonna ignore all of that, and make steve old af to shock the audience, even though it doesn’t make sense that steve would age at all, let alone at the same rate as a non-enhanced human, because what happened in previous movies is meaningless.

This gif contradicts a lot of fics I’ve read where Bucky considers his arm a deadly weapon, what makes him monstrous, etc etc. Look at the very human, nervous, exasperated gesture of him twiddling his thumbs. This is muscle memory, comfort, a completely natural and biological human response. This scene and the plum/market scene really showed the softer, more elusive side of Bucky’s physical presence. Bucky’s arm is part of him, as it should be. He is a disabled character with an advanced cybernetic prosthetic. Which, you know, makes the ending of civil war and the fact that he was farming one-armed even harder to watch. It must have hurt like hell to lose his arm…twice.
