Watch: Comedian Aamer Rahman’s explainer of reverse racism is still requisite viewing.

Especially considering the astounding number of Americans who think “reverse racism” is a real problem.

Me as a thief: Steals the US Constitution. Replaces it with a perfect forgery, except the Second Amendment has been edited from “the right to bear arms” to “the right to bare arms.” Breaking News the next day: Nation has been misreading the Constitution for over 200 years. Historians mortified. Politicians scramble to save face. Gun control laws go into effect nationwide. School principals trying to punish high school girls for wearing tank tops get slapped with a lawsuit for violating their Second Amendment right to bare arms. I fall asleep on a mountain of money in my mansion in the Bahamas. Suck it Nicolas Cage.

I have a bitter theory about what happened in Civil War and it’s not pretty:

The Winter Soldier happened BEFORE the media got overexcited about Stucky.

Then the D23 exclusive scene happened, and you know how the media/fans latched on the “ your bucky”  scene.

There was this small interview with Vancamp that foreshadowed her role in Civil War, and how their relationship was going to unfold on Civil War, not that it would already be there:

As for the relationship between Cap and Sharon, VanCamp talked about the characters’ romantic relationship in the comics and said it won’t be explored to that extent in Civil War. Instead, the characters will simply be getting to know each other in this film.

This happened just after the first trailer dropped, and HECK, it wasn’t that trailer aimed at the shippers. I remember thinking exactly that the movie couldn’t ever live up to THAT trailer, heh. Anyway, the 1st trailer arriving still after the D23 scene, and once again, people were taking Stucky was a serious possibility.

After this it went to hell.

Late january we got the actors called in for the extra scene filming, and the location/clothes where the same of The Kiss scene. The Russos, shortly after giving the interview saying “we have written them as brothers, but we want it open for interpretation really” backtracked fully into “brotherly love” and nothing more, after that re-filming went on.

And the Russos announced there was going to be a kiss in their livestream on the FB page, I was.. uh, let’s say, surprised by their delivery of the news. It was so deadpan, so “I bet you can’t guess who”, which I can totally see sarcasm on that video now. They are not pleased, but they’re contract bound, so is Evans (which isn’t hiding his frustration either).

So I firmly believe there was a higher up order to make the movie as non-gay as possible, and they had to recut a lot of scenes to make this happen. Funnily enough, the Scene I see Steve heart breaking is that quiet way of his is exactly the mid-credits scene, where he lets Bucky go.

Every single thing about this makes me sad.

Vancamp is dealing with the backlash of fans/critiques of how the story unfolded;

Sebastian Stan was probably cut short on some amazing acting on his part, because of no-homo-lol

Evans character can be read as dull if you’re taking on emotional delivery alone because heck, they’ve cut him out of the picture where Bucky was concerned. So yeah, as an actor? He must be FURIOUS.
