Oh so you think Steve Rogers, who grew up during the Great Depression & Also fought in WW2, doesn’t have a fatalistic sense of humour that rivals that of the most hardened Gen Z teen? Hah okay then
Peter Parker, after failing his Spanish assessment: Lol when will death befall me
The rest of the Avengers: Ohmygod Peter honey it’s okay it’ll get better I promise please don’t say things like that you’re gonna be okay-
Steve, high-fiving him: We can only pray the reaper will arrive early for his appointment with us kid
The first conversation they ever have is when they both have breakfast at the Avengers Tower. Steve burns his toast & he just looks at the wall and declares, completely deadpan, “There is literally No Point to existence At All’ and then on the other side of the room he hears the instant response of “oh mood” which is basically the story of how Peter Parker & Steve Rogers bonded for life.
so when i was at camp we had a dress up superhero day and so i dressed up as black widow but like super cheaply (cheap wig, black leggings, black jacket) so it takes most ppl a second to figure out what i’m going for anyway i ran into a little girl who loved my costume and after a brief conversation it transpired it was because she was under the impression that i was ariel. i was like oh cool yeah that makes sense, how did you guess? expecting her to be like “the hair!” and she gave me this ‘duh’ look and said “it’s her costume from the avengers” because she’s under the impression that the little mermaid is also the black widow and i love her and the world she must live in
Bruce is fantastic at conflict resolution: he always cuts to the core of an issue.
He isn’t battling his daddy issues or going on a self-righteous ego trip everytime there is an argument amongst the team. He focuses on the issue at hand. He goes straight to the heart of the matter
in each case —
it is strange that SHIELD claims to be in the energy business
—
they are locating the Tesseract, but they demand to know why SHIELD is making weapons of mass destruction using it —
that being scientists, they would have better idea as to what they are doing in regards to Vision
—
that they’re under a huge time constraint and the priority should be finding the infinity stones before deciding what to do with them. Thus, Bruce is
easily
able to clarify either the importance or the urgency of an issue; and highlights what needs to be the priority of the team.
This is also the reason why, in Infinity War, Bruce almost ended years-long feud between the Avengers by saying a simple line
—
“It doesn’t matter who’s talking to whom. Thanos is coming.”
aka there is a reason why Bruce had to be taken out of the narrative for Civil War to be possible.
