There is so much in this video that doesn’t get talked about:
Ken talking to hyuk thru the sunroof instead of the window and using his grandma voice
the legendary high pitched scream; “where are you going?” AAAAAAA
hyuk turns the camera around and immediately fixes his hair
hyuk asking “who am i” along with “what am i going to do”
the super close up of his eyes
he doesn’t go inside the convenience store connected to the gas station, he just stands in the parking lot
he’s so calm about it???
how long has he been there
Hongbin literally running as fast as he can towards hyuk (from how far away did he come from? i bet the rest of vixx kicked him out bc he’s the next youngest)
Something to note about the peter scene. He’s not blocking bucky’s other arm, and Bucky is a trained killer. He could absoLUTELY crush this insect of a child. He’s dumbstruck because this is the first time Bucky has heard his enemy’s voice and it clicks
I’m fighting an actual child
“This is a baby. Who put this baby in a warzone? I can’t just fight a baby!”
Fandom prefers their mentally ill characters to be like a fairy tale character, cursed to become a monster after spending 100 years with a wicked witch. Fandom loves Bucky Barnes because they see him as this cursed princess. When Bucky shows symptoms they manifest either as Sebastian Stan Looking Sad And Pensive, or as Literally Not In Control of His Own Body.
Tony Stark, a more realistic day-to-day portrayal of mental illness, is pretty widely hated and treated like a villain within the fandom. When Tony displays symptoms, it’s in making poor decisions out of desperation and fear. He goes to extremes. His mistakes made from fear based in his trauma blow up in his face. He displays coping mechanisms by being obsessive and unintentionally endangering people. He uses false arrogance and humor to distance himself, he lingers on his past trauma and it continues to shape his actions, often negatively, years later. He lashes out violently when he is faced with losing the few people he is close to.
Tony’s poor choices should not be excused because of his mental illnesses. He needs to be held responsible. But the way fandom treats Tony versus how they treat Bucky is pretty telling. Fandom doesn’t want mentally ill characters. They want innocent victims who cope in perfectly healthy ways and have never made any mistakes or poor choices as a result of their mental illness or trauma. They want someone they can feel sad about, but not someone with any messy symptoms.
Just as long as that mental illness isn’t inconvenient, unattractive, or uncomfortable!
Now that i think about it, if avengers and the mcu took place in the 90s who would eddie murphy play? like there is no way he’d play a supporting character esp to a white guy in the 90s….hmmm he’d probably audition and try hard for t’challa, but they’d probably give him blue marvel…but that character didn’t exist in the 90s…and there is no way he’d play Hiemdall lmao.
