Wonder Woman greeting T’Challa with the Wakanda Forever salute, but forgetting what happens when she clashes her gauntlets like that
Accidentally blowing him through three walls, a car, and M’Baku
He is, of course, completely fine, but that was certainly not the greeting he expected from the suddenly VERY apologetic Princess
Bonus: T’Challa runs back to Diana and does the salute again, channeling the power from the improved kinetic absorption and redistribution on his suit, and launches Diana straight into the sky. They laugh about it later.
This is the wholesome content I signed up for
Further bonus: during a later team-up, the villain has T’Challa by the throat and is threatening to snap his neck if Diana comes any closer. She hesitates, at which point the villain laughs and asks if T’Challa has any last words. Of course he does:
What really annoys me is that Steve kept saying we don’t trade lives while Wakandans where fucking giving their life to defend Wakanda cause that’s where vision was with the mind stone.
That’s saying a lot to me.
The Avengers decided one of theirs was more important than any Wakandan life that was lost.
The writers had to spend screen time that the wakandans didn’t get, the respect and care they didn’t get…..on Wanda and Visions romance that no one cared for to begin with.
And in doing so other characters who deserved as much attention did not get it.
The only thing that black characters or characters of color in general got was whacky one liners.
And that is if you’re not counting the time that was wasted in making Thanos sympathetic?
A character who when faced with the option to do anything he wanted chose genocide? That’s who we’re supposed to feel for?
they cared more for a machine….
Also contrast it with Gamora, played by a WOC, who although they give some drama to the fact that she wants Quill to kill her removes her agency because he can’t when she wants him to and she’s powerless to stop it when she doesn’t as an abuser’s love is validated by it counting as a sacrifice for his ends.
“Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. Those who are at times described as being a ‘hot mess’ or having ‘too many issues’ are the very fabric of what keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world.”
Tony taking the fight to Thanos, away from Earth, encapsulates just why Tony is Earth’s best defender. He didn’t want any more damage, any more death, anymore pain, to come to his home planet. Even if that meant going face-to-face with his biggest fear in the entire universe.
