iron man vol. 3 #8: yvette avril, the former vice-president of stark international, telling tony that there are thousands of people who would dare anything for him because he’s inspired such loyalty and respect for them by being a good man and a good boss.
don’t talk to me or my son, who ftr once and for all has canonically been proven time and again to be an amazing boss and ceo that knows the names of all his employees, cares about his employees and would give his own life to save and protect them, ever again

I’ve seen headcanons before of Tony chatting with all the other multiverse Tonys and having a big Tony party and like I love multiverse so that shits great but
What I really need is MCU!Steve meeting his multiverse counterparts and just. Getting yelled at.
Esp AA!Steve and 616!Steve, oh man. They’d lay into him.
“That is not how we treat Tony! That is not how you care for your Tony!”
MCU!Steve: But Bucky—
616!Steve: Bucky’s gonna be fine! He joins the Avengers! Tony upgrades his arm! He gets to sleep with Natasha of all people!
Ults!Steve: And honestly, how ungrateful you’re being. Your Tony doesn’t even have brain cancer or an evil twin. You think you’d cherish what you have a little more.

Straggly, skinny Bucky whose metal should not fit his frame, and tiny midget Tony who steps out of his suit and startles everyone at the height difference.
They’re smol but they’re dangerous and will 100% stab you.
They have to boost each other to reach the top shelf

I can’t reblog without these tags? These are an integral part of the post.
Everyone in Peter’s class gets super hyped when they see Spider-Man on the news the day before an exam because that teacher will just coincidentally forget every copy of the test at home, what a shame, guess you all have one more night to study oh well,,,,,, if any of you were doing important things yesterday it’s real lucky you get this extra time to prepare,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
No no no, imagine this, but on an angstier level.
Post-IW, Peter has awful PTSD because duh. The wrong thing being brought up can trigger flashbacks and memories and he hates it.
Peter’s classmates all saw Spider-Man disappear with Iron Man onto the big spaceship donut and didn’t come back until after everyone was brought back from dust. They don’t know what happened to him and they’re sure they probably don’t want to know. So they take extra care to try and not accidentally trigger anything for him.
Someone mentions Footloose and Peter nearly loses it on the spot? The entire class makes the collective decision to never bring it up again, who cared about the movie anyways.
A list in the Discord serve is complied of every possible trigger for Peter. Anything from words that make him jumpy, to topics that make him need to run to the bathroom and have a panic attack. It’s extensive and constantly updated, but it’s worth it. If Spider-Man is going to protect New York, the least they can do is try to protect Spider-Man.

deadpool is honestly more wholesome than any of the mcu movies
Explain
ok so
Doesn’t straightwash queer characters! this was a big one. (marvel movies have a huge problem with straightwashing*)
Deadpool is canonically pansexual, and the movies reflect this! Reynolds doesn’t shy away at all from Deadpool’s sexual interest in men.
(head injuries bring out deadpool’s romantic sexy feelings it seems. in the first movie, knife to the head = romantic montage with vanessa. in the sequel, fencepost to the head = deadpool sensually trying to go down on Colossus.)
(semi-related, both movies have some cute references to deadpool enjoying being on the receiving end in the bedroom.)
(yeah, it’s canon, Deadpool enjoys being pegged)
Oh hey, a healthy romantic relationship based on mutual respect and love! and with a fully developed female character with personal agency! A love interest who doesn’t just function as a plot device.
POLAR OPPOSITE OF TOXIC MASCULINITY. This really shines through in their marketing
(yes that pillows says “FEMINIST”)
(yes that is deadpool in heels dancing to celine dion)
Diverse casting! Characters who are poc just because poc exist!
Hey look, a cute lesbian couple treated with respect and one of them’s asian!
Holy crap i don’t say this enough but i loveDomino. What a badass. Sexy-but-not-sexualized black female action hero who is probably the coolest person in the movie.
Deadpool 2 took a run-of-the-mill white character design and made her interesting!
Her trademark eye patch is now vitiligo! She has awesome natural hair. And look, body hair exists! On a person who is a woman! Which shouldn’t be unusual, but here we are. Also, she’s fun
Portrayed by the talented Zazie Beetz. Did I mention how much i love this character?
Oh look, another much improved character design!
We’ve got your humdrum blondie cleft-chin stereotype replaced with a heavyset maori teen actor (Julian Dennison, who incidentally was in Taika Waititi’s indie movie Hunt for the Wilderpeople).
Overall themes: The movies have a lot of dirty humor and innuendo. But the overall takeaway is actually pretty sentimental. The Deadpool 2 themes in particular gets to me:
Not repeating the mistakes of the previous generation. “Kids give us a chance of being better than we used to be.”
The loss and recovery of family. Accepting friendship in the midst of tragedy. See also: Cable’s story arc.
Letting go of loss and bitterness to try to save a child who’s been abandoned by the world.
I’m honestly so excited about the choices the director & producers have been making for this franchise. They’re setting the narrative standard for modern superhero films. Can’t wait to see what the next movie has in store.
Deadpool 2 is also pretty explicitly no-holds-barred criticism of foster care abuse, child abuse in churches, homophobia, and the way sexual assault is ignored. Deadpool 2 gave all of the fucks and was not afraid to let everyone know.
