more Civil War thoughs (and a touch of RL)

ACCURATE CAPSLOCK REVIEW IS ACCURATE - linked to by kore, whose rage at the movie is a wonderful and sanitizing thing for me.

My thoughts on what I was hoping for out of an MCU Civil War, and which Captain America: Civil War failed to provide. It was also in refutation of a Captain Hill shipper who thought Sharon was replaceable in the movie. (She wasn't, but the romance was handled with unspeakable awkwardness.)

At some point, I will write the letter to Marvel Movies in which I indicate why a Black Widow movie will make things worse for female characters in the MCU, and you will all bitch me out, then unfriend me, and then blacken my name throughout the fandom.

But today is not that day.

Today I'm going to finish this ridiculous fic, and make more Maria Hill icons, because for reasons inexplicable to a fan such as myself, there are simply not enough of them around.

And then I'm going to see the chiropractor in the afternoon and get a quote for the fence, because in the midst of fannish frivolity, there must also be management of the mundane.

Capslock review was too funny. And so accurate.

We should turn you single letter into a movement. We should all write to Marvel and show them we're not going to be silent about sidelines female characters anymore. I am still furious about Peggy. Furious.

I suspect the handful of femme-focused-fans who might be roused to such action are too grateful for FINALLY A BLACK WIDOW MOVIE to bestir themselves about the lack of representation for other female characters.
