Quick question before i read. I looked qt the chapter index. Is this basically the uhhh not team cap friendly series but with a few extra stories and all in one to read?
*excited bouncing* oh please say yes.
I lobe not team cap friendly. I already wasnt on his side even in the movies cuz his logic madr no sense other thrn movie is gonna movie.
How on earth could they NOT ASK AND USE THEIR LITERAL GENIUS AND BILLIONAIRE WITH A B FRIEND for help!
Utterly baffling XD my roomie thinks im just against captain america cuz i love iron man. Ive tried explaining like yea tonys fucked up to. But at least hes going hey. I fucked up. Can we have some chrcks and balances here
Plus the accords ARE bs when their first brought in. Im sure (especially on mutants or nom baseline humans) especially haf a bad situation in there
But again
BILLIONAIRE WITH A B. AND A GENIUS ON HIS OWN WHO HAS TIES WITH THE GOVERNMENT AND UN at the least prolly met or knew abt them all (i dont think it was the un when they were making a meeting abt his suits in the movie but i could be wrong)
POINT IS he could take on the accords and has if not thr political clout and utter genius brain he has. then the sheer MONEY to throw at lawyers to help in his stead. Like theres so much he could do. XD its utterly hilarious
Also read ur A/N eff tht person who leaves hate on a fic they dont like. Like the tags are there. Of course i skip em most times or just glance and forget them except for like a specific tag i look for. But thts cuz idgaf xD as long as like the one spood tag i dont want isnt on there (which is a hoot to try and deal wirh on my fav character...spiderman xD *wheeze*) then i legit dont care. I care more qbt whos the main character and the summary
Or the author. Considering how u wrote tht series ur stuff is amazing so i went on ur acct to find more anf see if theres anytbing between series.
Anywho ur prolly busy. Just wanted to say i love this and i get it. Civil war honestly made me hate steve canonically. And yhe rogues. (Antman is iffy cuz hes usually was just struck by hero worship from superman "cap america" himself. Not fully his fault the world made steve THE hero of course hed follow without knwing better. The idiot.)
And barnes has not a lick of guilt to me. (I mean yea the murders for Tony's fam is so not good) but he was being literally torturedd and brainwashed and once again thrown into a chaotic Battle at the behest of his once best friend.
I cant blame a man who was a tortured POW for 80 yrs and ecperimented on. For following the one guy he barely remembers not being utterly cruel to him.
I also have no doubt tht if they told tony in a better environment and gave his genius brain a few days to work. He would obviously kne tht to and tht Hydra was the real murders tht just Used bucky like an uncared for gun.
But noiooooooo steve has to wait for the WORST TIME POSSIBLE to have let it get out and the fact he and romanov knew from the start.
Like holy crap. Tony was technically used similarly *his weapons genius qnd richnesss by obidiah to keep him making bombs and guns and shit* now his time in Afghanistan was short for the actual physical torture part. But he would totally understand the situation if they GAVE HIM THE CHANCE.
aint no one gonna react well when u say their parents murderer is in the room and theg actually somewhat liked their parents. No one. NO ONE. IS GONNA BE CALM
even bucky seemed to knw it was wrong to cuz he wasnt rlly fightin tht hard.
Plus tony was basically just throwing punches like he has missiles and bombs and sky lasers and and the unibeam. And more im sure. If he wanted to srsly kill barnes he could have he absolutely could
And the audacity to put the shield of all places IN THE ONE SPOT U KNW IF U MESS UP COULD LITERALLY KILL HIM LIKE A SHOT TO THE HEART
absolutely gobsmacked. And then being stuck there for who knws how long in siberia with dead tech and Tchalla didnt fuckin help xD ahahahhahahah
(Fanfics made me realize just how many more levels of dangerous all tht i laid out and more is thr if i keep talking ill take the entire character limit so ill stop soon)
I just basically wanted to say i love ur fics and writing and fuck the haters.
Even I can read happy steve fics if hes written well. Ya knw the friendly superman level guy from the old cartoons growing up and actually treated his team like family.
I just dont actively seek them out anymore cuz ugh. Its just sad xD i just happen across some.
And i dont just go crazy saying how dare u make steve a good man or try to shit on tony blah blah.
I do mention my preference but if i rlly like the fic i mention tht to and if i dont. I leave wow. Shocking. I can use the back button and pick a different one *wish other people could*
Lol. Have a great lifee i love ur stories and even if u dont respond im still reading. Ill just leave this fic for last and look at the mini series and singles for now and then compare
To answer your primary question: yes. This is the exact same set of stories as 'The Path Not Taken'. Several people requested that I post them as separate fics, so I did.
And yes, clearly I agree with you: MCU Steve Rogers is a giant dick who needs to be kicked very hard and several times in the balls, with the rest of his sycophants and Romanova covered in honey and buried close to an anthill.
Thanks for answering i agree with u completely but BUT
ADDITIONAL CONTENDER
toss odin all father from asgard and the warriors 3 + sif in there.
And have thor on a lesser punishment with a timelimit cuz he does love loki he was just dumb and has to learn abt being manipulated by odin and society
<3 what do you think? Any other marvel people to add?
Maybe. I'm just not a Thor person. After being exposed first to RDJ and then to him as Tony Stark, I find the rest of them to be very bland and replaceable. Chris Hemsworth is more attractive than the guy who plays Rogers (that's how invested in him I am), but I grew up on Pierce Brosnan and Bruce Willis (pre-bald) and Tom Selleck and DeForest Kelly and Leonard Nimoy, so my tastes run toward dark-hair and blue or green eyes.
But I also don't find Thor to be a compelling character. He follows the same basic origin story as everyone else, but for whatever reason, Tony's strikes a chord that the others don't. Of course, I also made the mistake of reading the script for 'Thor: The Dark World' on the-editing-room.com BEFORE watching the movie, and I will now never be able to take it seriously.
That being said, subsequent characterization does not help any of them but, weirdly (for them), Tony. I will never understand why 'Winter Soldier' is praised as the best CA movie, because a lot of us are over here holding a list 3 yards long about how stupid this, that, and the other is. Then again, there are a horrifying number of people who think 'WandaVision' is the greatest show ever and the most adorable pairing, so . . .
To sum up, I'm pretty content with the characters I have now, though the random addition of Jessica Jones threw me for a loop, so . . . I don't know. My muse delights in being unpredictable, as proven by my current fic. I would never have dreamed, in any universe, I'd be writing this plot, but here I am. I knocked out almost 3k words Friday night and have doubled that and God willing, I'll get it done this week. But expected?
One really needs to enjoy the sheer unpredictability of life.
It's okay; I understand the pain of technology 2025. And if it helps, I did write a fic about Thor's crappy treatment of Loki, though I didn't include Odin. It's the newest individual fic on 'The Path Not Taken' series, as well as part of DIDT?.
