What hits hard about John is that as an army veteran with severe PTSD, he has developed paranoia which also made him impatient and impulsive. He was not rewarded those three badges of excellence solely for being "a perfect soldier", but for rushing to complete the mission, putting his life on the line to save his comrades. Everyone will nag at him for being judgemental of them, but when it comes to predictions, he is often right. People also call him selfish prick, but he still does not hesitate to take a bullet for those whom he barely knows, you can claim that is a code of comradery but who will save someone that constantly speaks ill of you? John proves he is selfless time and time again, and perhaps the easiest to switch from being bitter to friendly in a short period of time. He spends a while with people, and when he ensures they are trustworthy, he will open up to them and embraces them.

If anything, his way of reacting to events is not exaggerated or fake. It is justified if one is willing to understand how rough his journey has been.

I could have been angry at Yelena the last time she bashes John, but it came off as a natural emotional response as she was frustrated at everyone and everything. The rest of the movie is filled with moments where people view him as someone lesser, a ridiculous loser. How ludicrous is that when people speak lightly of his accomplishments and scold him for killing "an innocent", coming from two former assassins who actually killed innocents for money? Or the time Bucky mentions how Olivia left John with their child, loudly for everyone to hear that? It is as if only John needs to remember his worst failures and be publicly shamed. John, the lord knows why, never really beefs with Bucky. In fact, John feels a mysterious intimacy with Bucky that feels weird yet speaks volumes on depth of John's character. He may be skeptical but not petty.

These issues in movie make every single heroic scene of John more impactful. Because it shows you no matter what everyone throws at him, or how awful his day is, he still continues to live to standards he set for himself the day he came to know Steve Rogers, and convinces himself it does worth it at last. Even if the whole world is against him, he does only try his best to save it, he may be irritated at people, but he knows the values a true hero would always and forever respect.

Sorry, but i cannot stop talking about John Walker. He really is the greatest MCU character at the moment, in my honest opinion.

Them cute

There are so many Peter Parker headcanons that I think is so adorable that the entire fandom (mostly mcu but also comics) just came together to unanimously agree on

For example Peter being a stress Baker??? Where did that come from? Not that I'm complaining because I can totally see him making cupcakes while crying at like midnight but what in the movies gave us this idea???

Or the fact that people took the traits of actual spiders and just slapped them on him

Like YES he does get cold easily and he can't regulate his body temperature normally, yes he does have venom glands, yes he does make web nests, yes he does have blue blood like a little freakish creature.

I LOVE SPIDER-Y PETER PARKER‼️

And god DAMN do I live for lab days, yes he DOES bond with Tony in the lab after school, and yes Tony DOES call him "his kid"

And you better BELIEVE he goes on field trips to Stark tower only to get embarrassed by all the Avengers talking about how "sweet and funny" he is

All of these headcanons are canon to me and my fellow fandom losers🩷

A little bit of sambucky doodles I drew probably a month ago but didn't post for some reason

i love AUs where the avengers find out something batshit insane about peters past. they'll be having dinner, all having a good time, when suddenly they get jumpscared by shit like this

steve : "so, kid. what's with the webs? do you have any other weapons, or is that it?"

peter : "well, I know how to use a staff pretty well because I used to want to be donatello from teenage mutant ninja turtles, I'm learning how to use a bow, and I don't like using guns."

bruce : "any special reason for that last one?"

peter : "oh yeah my uncle was shot and killed during a robbery. he died in my arms."

bruce : "oh"
