So, we did our favorite moments from our fandoms. But what about least favorite?

Two of mine are actually still open to improvement in the future, but at the moment irk me.

...actually, all of the ones involving Steve being dead are open to improvement. God love comic book heaven and its revolving door.

1. Steve and Tony's Messy Divorce, aka Civil War. I actually think Steve was fairly IC in Civil War. Intense and angry, but fairly IC. However, he was reacting to other people being the exact opposite of IC. Also, insane (See: Maria Hill sending FIGHTER JETS after him BEFORE THE SHRA PASSED. See also: "Hey, what about we clone Thor?").

2. Steve's Death. Wibble. Just wibble. Going to be arraigned for treason in restrictive gear so strong he could barely walk, and still trying to save other people, and Sharon's so pretty she takes his breath. You know. With a gun. *wibble*

3. Steve's Body Goes Wonky. They'd better tie off this damn plot thread, is all I can say. Because the Supersoldier Serum does not work that way and Brubaker's shown himself to be smart and canon-savvy enough to know it.

4. I Know! Let's Put Him Back In the Ice!. Because God knows Steve wasn't horribly traumatized by the events of the last time he got put in the ice or anything--oh wait. And there's no reason to think he would want to rest with this country's other soldiers and honored dead in Arlington or anything--oh, wait. Damn Tony.

5. Sharon Carter is Crazy, Kidnapped, and Pregnant. The lack of agency given to Sharon Carter is kind of staggering, really. Apparently just about everything she's done lately was as a result of being brainwashed by agents of Red Skull. And now she's kidnapped by Red Skull and kind of crazy and, as I said, pregnant. Except I'm not actually convinced she's actually pregnant. Even in comicstime I'm reasonably sure enough time has gone by since the last time she and Steve knocked boots she ought to be showing at least some. Especially considering her outfit of choice at the moment is skintight spandex. And her Nazi Communist kidnappers haven't said a thing.

Brubaker better be going somewhere good with this.
