feliciates:thehollowprince:monardammm:cyclesofthemoon:professionallyprocrastinating:antisolanum:teameveryonebutironman:i-love-tony-stark:sam-falcon-wilson:I need to talk about this scene. This scene actually, physically hurt me when I watched it in theaters, and cemented Iron Man as a bad guy in my head.Sam Wilson saw his friend get shot out of the air. He was too late to save him; he watched his wingman die, and he was powerless to do anything.So imagine how he feels when the shot that was meant to hit him hits Rhodey, who begins to plummet towards the ground. He immediately dives after him with zero hesitation, but he’s just not fast enough. He even apologizes to Tony, although he has nothing to apologize for.And do you know what Tony does?He shoots him. Point blank.I don’t care if Tony didn’t know about Riley. It doesn’t matter. Sam Wilson just risked his life going after Rhodey, probably having flashbacks the entire way down, and he fails. Again.And Tony doesn’t care. He shoots him, and he’s so close that the force of the shot sends Sam somersaulting backwards.Sam did nothing to injure Rhodey in any way, and even tries to help, and Tony. Fricking. S h o o t s. H i m.How can you support or stan this disgusting man?Also, if I recall correctly, Sam Wilson served as a pararescue airman. That means he’s a trained medic, he could have helped Rhodey and probably would have if Tony hadn’t shot him point blank in the chest.Yeah, either tony is that much of an asshole that he didn’t bother to get to know Sam despite him being part of the team for two years or he’s that much of an asshole that he shot a trained medic in the chest. And let’s not forget that using a repulsor blast that powerful, powerful enough to throw him back like he was shot with a shotgun, at relatively close range, on a target with no power armor (and no the falcon suit doesn’t count, it’s for flight not protection) could easily have killed him. Shock, cracking his head on the ground, stopping his heart from the force, that could have killed him. I mean, sam’s a tough cookie, but that wasn’t “the hulk punching thor after the battle because he didn’t forget about his insult from earlier, but they both know he’s gonna be alright” it’s “Tony is so selfish that he is willing to potentially kill sam because he hurt rhodey”Despite all of this, Sam’s first words to Tony, after being imprisoned thanks to him, is “How is Rhodes?”Concern for a former team-mate is still foremost in his mind, despite the fact that going back to help, rather than following Steve and Bucky to help them in Siberia, is what landed Sam in the Raft.Then Sam turns around, and we see that half of his face is one massive bruise, and he is moving slowly.Yeah, no, that is never going to be justifiable.…Also, what is to say that Rhodey’s injuries weren’t made worse by Tony’s attempts to help, since the guy with medical training was injured and potentially unconscious thanks to Iron Man ‘getting angry and reacting’.Sam Wilson wasn’t offering to help. Sam Wilson was standing there, looking at him, and the guy with PTSD and trust issues properly assumed that the fucker would take another shot. Like, you’re expecting him to think clearly? Why would he react any other way? @memecucker Sam is the highly trained medic who just abandoned what would have been a clean getaway in a desperate bid to stop Rhodey’s fall. He fucking APOLOGIZED for not being the one to take the hit, even though it probably would have killed him because Vision’s judgement is frankly shit. Only an abusive, raging asshole with serious anger management issues would then turn around and shoot that man in the chest. And a man like that has no business flying around in a WMD or involving himself in crisis/combat situations because he is clearly too violent, irrational and unstable to do so responsibly. Don’t try to excuse his behavior because, “He was upset, he wasn’t thinking clearly, you should have expected him to lash out, and stayed out of his way.” Every abuse apologist ever has used that particular rationalization and it’s disgusting and shameful and should die in a fire.Can we seriously stop trotting out this “Tony’s PTSD” bullshit?! It’s not cute and it’s not funny.Almost the entirely of the Avengers have PTSD in one form or another. They all have traumatic backgrounds, and yet not one of them - Not a single. Fucking. One - acts the way Tony does. Tony may still have a strong case of PTSD, we don’t know because we supposedly left that behind in IM3 where he decided to start getting help for his problems, starting with the shrapnel in his chest, but that is in no fucking way an excuse to shoot someone point blank.You all (tony stans) really need to learn the difference between explainable and excusable. You know who else has FUCKING PTSD? SAM WILSON! He just watched a friend fall from the sky for the second time and he would definitely have helped if he’d been given a goddamned chance.“Take another shot?”WHAT THE FUCK?????????????????????????????????Sam was NOT the one who shot Rhodes - it was Vision.So yeah explain again how there was any reason in the world to shoot the guy who made a credible attempt to try to save Rhodes and is a combat trained medic. Why am I even trying? Anyone who could call Sam Wilson a “fucker” is really behind hope. Geez, the mental gymnastics taken to make Sam in any way hostile in this scene or Tony’s shooting him in any way defensible should qualify for the fecking Olympics. -- source link
