“it would be impossible for this disabled character to be played by a disabled actor because of the things this character can do in this movie” well then maybe…… you fucked up in the writing of this disabled character……

also cgi exists. if you need your disabled character to walk for a couple of scenes use a body double and green screen. this can also be used for trans characters prior to transition.

if it’s possible to make chris evans look 5ft nothing and skinnier than a maypole then it’s possible to cast disabled actors for disabled characters

The Spy Kids films had disabled actor Ricardo Montalbán play the kids’ disabled grandpa, and in the third movie he was CGI’d into an Iron-Man style bodysuit that made him look like he was able to walk and take part in a high-speed futuristic car race and other action sequences. And this was in 2003.
If a goofy kids’ franchise can do it using embarassingly bad early 2000s CGI, you have literally no excuse.

It’s interesting to see Steve’s insecurity about his friendship with Bucky. Bucky was his best friend, and presumably his only friend. Steve idolized him. As he told Natasha and Sam: even when he had nothing, he had Bucky.

But Bucky? Bucky had a family – parents, probably some siblings. He likely had friends from school, work friends, and friends from army training. He had endless girlfriends. We know he was popular. Bucky had an entire life, and objectively, Steve was only a part of it.

Before Captain America, Bucky was Steve’s world, but Steve may not have been Bucky’s. And because of that, you can see Steve constantly second guess Bucky’s love for him. During CATFA, he doesn’t know if Bucky will follow him into war. In the CATWS funeral flashback, he doesn’t want to intrude on Bucky’s life (even though if the situation were reversed, you know he’d never let Bucky ‘get by on his own’). Even during the final CATWS fight scene, he says ‘You’re my friend’ instead of ‘We were friends’. He’s horrified that Bucky died following him, because Bucky had a life outside of Steve. 

I don’t think Steve realized how important he is to Bucky until he broke the Soldier’s programming, just by existing.

RUDE

Things the men of the Howling Commandos are no longer allowed to do in the SSR.

damagedtoysoldier:

bucky-fucky-barnes:

1. The SSR works as an adjunct to the regular armed forces, not as a superior. Therefore, no member of the Howling Commandos can countermand a senior army/navy/air force officer’s order.
2. Nor requisition vehicles from these services.
3. Especially if none of them can drive said vehicle. 
4. After crashing an illegally requisitioned Lancaster bomber while taxiing, members of the Howling Commandos may not inform the RAF that it was “broken when we got it”. 
5. “Borrowing” is regarded the same as illegally requisitioning. 
6. Even if Falsworth did go to school with the First Lieutenant, and he does owe him a favor, HMS Anson is not there to provide cruises round the bay for Commandos and their dates. 
7. The SSR may choose, due to the demands of wartime, to turn a blind eye to certain things. This does not mean that Commandos may discuss these matters openly.
8. Item 7 does not refer to Morita and Dugan’s cockroach racing betting scam, which we will not be turning a blind eye to. 
9. The “discussing openly” of Item 7 not only covers speech but also any drawings, notes, official reports, morse-code messages or mock wedding invitations. 
10. This goes double for anything which makes Capt Rogers blush or Sgt Barnes snicker. 
11. Any scheme which causes two or more members of the Commandos to giggle can be assumed to be vetoed. 
12. Capt Rogers’ code-name is not “mom”.
13. Nor is it “mummy”, “maman” or any variation on this theme. 
14. Agent Carter cannot kill anyone with her mind, and the Commandos will cease telling new recruits that she can. 
15. Even if Agent Carter encourages this rumour. 
16. Not allowed to spread rumours of the effects of super-soldier serum on sexual performance.
17. Especially those rumours endorsed by Sgt Barnes.
18. Not allowed to incite Mr Stark into suggesting experiments testing the effects of super-soldier serum on sexual performance. 
19. Not allowed to attempt to prove superiority of the SSR to other branches of service through drinking contests. 
20. Not allowed to attempt to prove superiority of the SSR to other branches of service through games of strip poker, strip dominos, strip darts, or strip chess. 
21. Every single one of the alternative versions of the lyrics to “Star Spangled Man With A Plan” are banned.
22. When first into a previously occupied area of Europe, not allowed to convince small children that “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” is the US National Anthem. 
23. Not allowed to rephrase orders entirely as sexual innuendo. 
24. Not allowed to tell regular units while on joint operations that rephrasing all orders as sexual innuendo is an SSR standing order to ‘confuse the enemy’. 
25. Jones and Dernier are not allowed to teach anyone any ‘useful’ French phrases. 
26. Ditto German, especially those phrases making the surrender of German troops to us embarrassing to all concerned. 
27. Sgt. Barnes’ code-name is not “Mrs Rogers”.
28. Nor is it “wifey”, “war bride”, or “trouble and strife”. 
29. The fact that Sgt Barnes finds these code names amusing is not relevant. 
30. Not allowed to bribe five small boys to pretend there has been a “de-aging ray accident”. 
31. Nor bribe five ATS girls to pretend there is “Hydra sex-change serum in the coffee”. 
32. The fact that the SSR does not have a single set uniform for Commandos does not mean that you can wear what you like. Banned items include, but are not limited to: kilts, bathing suits, any and all items of women’s clothing, togas, woad. 
33. Not allowed to respond to queries as to where your officers are with “SNRFB”. We know what SNAFU means, we have worked out what this means.
34. Not allowed to tell any story of an attack on a Hydra base which makes new recruits vomit. 
35. Even if it’s true and in the name of ‘toughening them up’. 
36: Not allowed to speculate as to whether the Red Skull is “red all over” in the mess, as it puts everyone off their food. 
37. Sgt Barnes’ “Bucky Bear” is not part of the chain of command, and is not in charge of the unit when Cpt Rogers and Sgt Barnes are indisposed. 
38. Sewing Corporal’s stripes to the arm of the Bucky Bear does not make it a Corporal. 
39. Bribing junior Lieutenants of the SSR to draft the Bucky Bear and give it a field promotion still does not make it a Corporal. 
40. Not allowed to respond to any queries about your officers with lines from “Romeo and Juliet”.

EXCLUSIVE: Details on Marvel Studios ‘Black Widow’ Solo Film – That Hashtag Show

russian-spider:

The film will find Natasha living in the United States 15 years after the fall of the Soviet Union! That timeline places the film firmly in the mid-2000s, meaning we’ll meet up with Nat prior to the events of Iron Man 2. That time frame opens up plenty of options, and while many fans seem to want a Black Widow/Hawkeye team up in Budapest, we’ve been told that early discussions about the film involved Sebastian Stan’s Winter Soldier.

OMFG YESSSSS

EXCLUSIVE: Details on Marvel Studios ‘Black Widow’ Solo Film – That Hashtag Show

swan2swan:

I just realized that Han never knew that Luke got his hand chopped off while he was in carbonite and I don’t know which path I want to follow with this information:

1. Han seeing Luke’s injured hand after the sail barge battle and thinking that Luke has been a robot the whole time

2. Luke shaking his hand with a super-firm grip and Han just thinking “Wow this kid has gotten…absurdly strong.”

3. Luke just pulls off his hand one day and throws it at Han.

4. Luke picks up a spacechicken carcass and crushes it with his bare hand and Han is intimidated

5. Han says “It’s good to see you’re all right” and then Luke says “well, actually…” and pulls off his hand and Han falls over the back of his chair

6. Han says “It’s good to see you’re all right” and everyone gasps and Leia says “Too soon!” and Han is confused and they all just rag on him

7. Han needs a battery and Luke just opens up his hand and pulls out a battery and gives it to him and Han just stares

8. Luke reappears after a mission with all the synthflesh off and Han says “I thought it was easy but you LOST YOUR HAND?” and Luke just says “Oh, no, I lost this before Endor” and Han is hurt and betrayed.

9. Luke keeps making hand puns and limb puns and raising his right hand to high-five Han and Han just never gets it

10. Luke excitedly tells Han as they’re waiting to be taken to the Sarlacc because it’s been a whole year that he’s wanted to tell the guy.
