Before the Sokovia Accords, Steve has an Avenger patch on his shoulder. / After the Sokovia Accords, it’s gone.
in screaming. im screaming. remember this happens over like… two fucking days. barely. so at some point during his desperate scramble to find bucky, keep bucky from getting legally shot in the face by the government, crash a helicopter into memory town, escape the hottest furry, squash himself into a hilarious dirty beetle frenemies roadtrip, and go through airport security (har) this dude actually sat his petty ass down and scraped the logo off
so everybody else was probably talking strategy in that white van– even scott lang for Christ’s sake– and meanwhile steve rogers, captain goddamned america, was sitting in the backseat with a nail file and a bottle of goo gone™, muttering about starks and leagues of nations and motherfucking austria of all places, and swearing viciously under his breath every time he jabbed himself in the thumb
and if sam didn’t record it secretly for posterity (stevewhyareyoulikethis.mp4) i will eat my hat
It’s so 100% in character tho I cry Steve Rogers is such a bitch
Guy was frozen for half a century and still has no chill
in the first avenger, when steve gets into a fight over a guy complaining about a short reel about the war effort, steve is not standing up for America. he’s not standing up for the “war effort” or propaganda or anything of the sort. that’s not why he gets in that fight.
this woman is opening crying in the middle of the theater, emotionally vulnerable and visibly broken.
when steve tells the man to show some respect, he’s not asking for him to show respect for the flag. he’s asking the man to show respect for the men who carry it, and for the families left behind, to show any semblance of empathy he can muster. it’s always been people that steve’s cared most about.
