#clintasha
I’m a simple gal, what should i say
Nothing, Mom, i swear-
Help, its 2 am and I can’t stop
Some decisions just can not be made…
Hi I’m Ivory but most people call me Vivi, Ivy, or Viv. I’m 19, bisexual, and my pronouns are she/her. I moved here from my old blog which had the same name (now @petermaxximof-moved). I have ADHD so I tend to post a lot about my hyperfixations (whatever they happen to be at the time) but I will mostly be posting about Marvel on this blog (the mcu, xmcu, and comics). Definitely follow if you like any of the following becuase I’ll post about them a lot:
-Peter Maximoff/Quicksilver (xmcu + wandavision version)
-The Avengers (mcu and comics)
-The Young Avengers
-The X-Men (xmcu and comics)
-Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (mcu and comics)
-Clintasha
*If you post about any of these things feel free to give this a like so I can check out your blog
can someone tell me why they hate clint? and “because he’s not like he is in the comics” and “because he should’ve died instead of natasha” isn’t an answer
I don’t hate Clint, in fact I’m now a Clintasha shipper. But in onscreen canon, he becomes increasingly unlikable as the movies go on.
He’s positively lovable in the first “Avengers” movie, as the devoted agent whose closest bond was seemingly with Nat.
“Age of Ultron” basically rewrote his character entirely, reconning him into a character that now felt less spry, and that powerful bond with Natasha was reconned to “oh they’re just really, really good friends.”
“Civil War” did no one’s character any favors, but Clint got some of the worst of it, from peer pressuring Wanda to stupidly put herself into the worst possible position, to taunting Tony about Rhody’s broken back. Putting himself in such a dumb position when he had a wife and kids back home made him look even worse.
In “Endgame,” his cynical personality of course makes sense for a man who lost his s family. But since we never got to know said family over this decade long series, it’s hard for the audience to properly empathize. The fact that in the last movie where we saw Clint, “Civil War,” he didn’t seem to care all that much about his family, doesn’t help his revenge arc.
And having this plotline follow Clint’s dickishness in CW just makes his entire character seem inherently grumpy and unlikable.
How far the Legolas of SHIELD has fallen.
So to make a long story short, the relationship we the audience saw and cared most about for Clint was not the one driving his character, and the family that’s supposed to be his driving force is one we know jack all about.And Clint doesn’t do a great job convincing us by himself that said foot is more important to him than Nat.
