*shouts into the void* no one Deserves a redemption arc! that’s the whole notion of redemption, that it’s impossible to deserve redemption and still to strive to be better, to make a hard painful choice to change your own goddamn life! and maybe, just maybe, saying “this character doesn’t deserve a redemption arc” has more to do with your personal dislike of the character and less to do with a coherent moral system! 

#like i know tumblr believes in one moral dichotomy and one alone #that of abuser and victim #but i am Tired of this bad morality #also like i know i’m on my bullshit #my catnip is people trying (often failing) to be good #this year’s television has been ripe with that #the good place and crazy ex gf and bojack horseman #these are all narratives about the daily grind of trying to be better #and just #idk #i feel like this notion of villains don’t deserve redemption arcs really misses why they’re powerful #it shows people that they can change their own life #even in their darkest moments #and i think many people recovering from mental illnesses have noted that the dark stories help them #so anyway please stop using this phrase in 2k19

also don’t think i didn’t notice the shade that rhodey was giving ross by saying that it was all the government’s fault that team cap was on the run and wasn’t readily available when the world needed them and could barely get in contact with them and when ross tries to throw it back at him by saying rhodey signed the accords he pretty much says he regrets it. i fucking LOVE that they showed the consequences of choosing to side w/ the government especially when ross couldn’t even put aside his differences with team cap to treat him w/ any respect even when the entire universe was in danger. thank u @ infinity war for proving that team iron man’s stance in civil war was shit

“Tony has lost so much!”

Peter Quill lost his mother to cancer and then lost his adoptive father. He watched BOTH of them die. He couldn’t save either of them despite him trying to save Yondu. But no, please tell me how generic white billionaire has suffered the most in the MCU.
