Isaiah calling out white privilege. I felt that.
I just wanted to see if he’d come to kill me

WHY am I suddenly dealing with a new surge of toxic MCU fandom? Is it because of the new Falcon and Winter Soldier show?
Any time I post something about Sharon on Twitter/Tumblr/Instagram, I get bombarded by angry stans who apparently are still mad about a kiss. And now, all of a sudden, my Peggy Carter posts get a lot of vitriol from Sharon stans!? ( I didn’t even think nasty Sharon stans were a thing. I’m a Sharon fan, you guys! Don’t come after me.) Is it really necessary to come on to my posts just to tell me why you hate my favorite characters? Go hate them on your own posts. Seriously, it feels like I’m fighting off temperamental teenagers.
I love Sharon Carter. I love Peggy Carter. And yes, I can love both. I just really love the Carter women. Just let me love them in peace, please.

“Every character has a specific color — it’s a nice way of giving people their own identity. We use color like comic books do, with each character staying in their lane as far their palette goes: T’Challa is purple, Okoye is red, and Nakia is green.
[Nakia] is the No. 1 warrior in the River tribe and her look was inspired by the Suri tribe in Africa,” says Carter. “Green signifies water, a coastal community, leaves and plants — they live in a lush area, as opposed to the perception that Africa is arid and dry.” - Black Panther costume designer Ruth Carter

It’s a crime that we didn’t get a Sharon/Peggy scene in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
My mom tried to talk me out of enlisting.. but not Aunt Peggy. She bought me my first thigh holster.

I STILL see people bitching about Sam getting the shield over Bucky. But not only does Sam having the shield offer better storytelling opportunities, it is a VERY important image/symbol to see especially in the time of Black Lives Matter. Yes, y’all think Seb is hot and are obsessed with Stucky, but there is such resonance in the Captain America mantle being held by a good black man as opposed to an angry white man. I love Bucky/Sebastian, but let’s understand that Sam Captain America is IMPORTANT.
Sam Wilson/Anthony Mackie deserves this moment. And we deserve to see a person of color represent Captain America.
it’s anthony mackie o’clock, please bear with me. (long post).
(again, i mean no disrespect or hate towards any of the white actors and actresses in tfatws, including sebastian stan!!)
but i was reading through the interview that anthony mackie gave for variety magazine (2021) and there was one thing he said that, in light of recent comments and takes i have seen regarding the unequal consideration of sebastian stan and anthony mackie’s acting and characters in tfatws, really resonated with me.
this? this is awful. this quote shows that not only does anthony mackie know that he is viewed in this light by critics and fans of the white actors whose fame he watched from the sidelines, it shows that this is normal for him.
anthony mackie is so used to being sidelined and looked over that it is normal for him to feel like that.
anthony mackie went to juilliard. juilliard. the legendary performing arts school. he worked his way through project after project, was forced to watch his white costars’ celebrity rise from the sidelines of many of them, but kept acting and taking projects that were important to him (ie. the banker, shelter, detroit, the hate u give). he is a very talented actor with excellent range, an actor who tries to understand every character he portrays and works to the peak of his ability to play them accurately.
and it is evident that in the mcu, in the case of sam wilson, he has done a fantastic job.
he took mcu sam wilson from a potentially two-dimensional cap sidekick to having a personality highly suggestive of the fleshed out, opinionated, reckless hero that he is in the comics, and that portrayal likely would not have come through in ca:tws and beyond from a lesser actor.
mackie has also mentioned in interviews that one of his greatest concerns is that of the success of tfatws, because he has felt that if the show flops greatly the marvel executives are going to see his casting as nothing more than a mistake.
that is also heartbreaking. he has done nothing to deserve feeling like that, yet he is so used to being kept in the shadows that that is honestly how he feels about his first lead in a major franchise.
so i hope i don’t see everyone talking solely about sebastian stan’s acting. and completely glossing over the fact that even from the trailers and clips, anthony mackie has had a magnanimous presence in the show and in the story.
because that is already, unfortunately, happening.
this goes back to what some people had mentioned on my previous post that i had noticed as well, where. it was sebastian stan’s tag trending after the big tfatws content day, while mackie’s was not.
that’s absurd. mackie is the other lead of this show, not even cast in a side role this time, and he is still being sidelined by fans in favour of yet another white man. and sebastian is an excellent actor in his own right, yes, but nothing warrants ignoring anthony mackie’s presence in the show, as he is the other lead.
as fans, we have the ability and therefore the responsibility to make this the show where mackie can have faith that he truly is a main character and the lead in what is going to be a very successful tv show, not just a prop for yet another white man.
we have the power to do that.
and mackie damn well deserves it.
i yield my time once more. <3

Hello, Mama? Hi, how are you doing tonight? It’s Lane. Yeah, Lane. Nothing’s wrong. In fact, I’m feeling pretty good right now. Had a beer and a half, nice cold beer. And I just thought I’d tell you, I’m drumming in a band tonight at a party and we rocked. We were The Clash and Rage Against the Machine and Nirvana combined. And I’m in love with Dave Rygalski. He’s my guy, not Young Chui. Young Chui’s a ship in the night, Mama. Not even a ship, he’s a little tugboat tooting along and I’m not gonna go to the prom with him, uh uh. I’m going with Dave, because we rock together, Mama. The charade is over.
