Avengers Prime #2: Complete That Thought!

[savemoony.livejournal.com]

Avengers Prime #2 hit the shelves today. I just want to highlight some subtext.

In this issue of Avengers Prime, Tony, Thor, and Steve go off on their own adventures. In Steve's, he makes out with an Empathic Chick Who Reminds Him Of Wanda. Yeah, I know. But before he does, he says:

Steve: I just -- I didn't do enough for [Wanda]. I couldn't help her when she needed help. And now I -- I'm getting a chance at life. A third chance really and I - I think I maybe he making the same mistakes again. I'm fighting with my brothers when I feel nothing but love and respect for them. I stand my ground on principle when all I really want to do is -- Um, why am I pouring myself out like this?

Non!Wanda: That would be my doing, mortal. I am empathic. Don't be ashamed of your true feelings. They are quite beautiful.

So... What does Steve really want to do?

Well, given the Thor-Steve conversation while Steve was dead, and the Tony-Thor interaction just after Thor returned, it seems Thor's sympathies lie heavily with Steve - which is pretty in-character for him, he's never been one for compromise or believing the ends justify the means, and he was pretty cheesed off with Clor.

But he also was happy to shut down Steve and Tony when they squabbled, so. Although that may just have been a passionate demand for attention for Thor, please! His city just fell down! Love him!

Perhaps it's just that Steve wants to be all happy and huggy because finally his best buddies are both with him and they're all alive and SHRA is over, but ISSUES, and that's making him grumpy and snipey at the pair of them, and he doesn't like it.

I dunno. I can sympathize. I want the fight to be over, but I still feel they can't just brush it under the carpet. I want a hot empathic chick to tell me my feelings are beautiful!

I may not be empathic nor a chick, and questionably hot, but, your feelings are beautiful.

"Perhaps it's just that Steve wants to be all happy and huggy because finally his best buddies are both with him and they're all alive and SHRA is over, but ISSUES, and that's making him grumpy and snipey at the pair of them, and he doesn't like it."

How is that anything but beautiful?
