“What I liked about it when I read the script was that the relationship seemed to be very clearly based on the premise that they both had limitations that they were struggling and fighting against, just to be able to their jobs. So for him, as “skinny Steve”, he wasn’t taken seriously, wasn’t given the chance, was kind of always humiliated. And with Peggy, the fact that she was a woman in a male dominated environment at that time, was just a fulltime job overcoming the prejudice of that as well as just trying to do her job. So I think it was clear in the script that it wasn’t just the oversexualized, sexy love interest but a relationship that was connected through their inner struggle.” — Hayley Atwell on what caught her attention the first time she read the script for Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

Steve Rogers did, in fact, realize that something was off when he saw the outline of the woman’s odd bra (a push-up bra, he would later learn), but being an officer and a gentleman, he said that it was the game that gave the future away.

No, see, this scene is just amazing. The costume department deserves so many kudos for this, it’s unreal, especially given the fact that they pulled off Peggy pretty much flawlessly.
1) Her hair is completely wrong for the 40’s. No professional/working woman would have her hair loose like that. Since they’re trying to pass this off as a military hospital, Steve would know that she would at least have her hair carefully pulled back, if maybe not in the elaborate coiffures that would have been popular.
2) Her tie? Too wide, too long. That’s a man’s tie, not a woman’s. They did, however, get the knot correct as far as I can see – that looks like a Windsor.
3) That. Bra. There is so much clashing between that bra and what Steve would expect (remember, he worked with a bunch of women for a long time) that it has to be intentional. She’s wearing a foam cup, which would have been unheard of back then. It’s also an exceptionally old or ill-fitting bra – why else can you see the tops of the cups? No woman would have been caught dead with misbehaving lingerie like that back then, and the soft satin cups of 40’s lingerie made it nearly impossible anyway. Her breasts are also sitting at a much lower angle than would be acceptable in the 40’s.
Look at his eyes. He knows by the time he gets to her hair that something is very, very wrong.
so what you are saying is S.H.E.I.L.D. has a super shitty costume division….
Nope, Nick Fury totally did this on purpose.
There’s no knowing what kind of condition Steve’s in, or what kind of person he really is, after decades of nostalgia blur the reality and the long years in the ice (after a plane crash and a shitload of radiation) do their work. (Pre-crash Steve is in lots of files, I’m sure. Nick Fury does not trust files.) So Fury instructs his people to build a stage, and makes sure that the right people put up some of the wrong cues.
Maybe the real Steve’s a dick, or just an above-average jock; maybe he had a knack for hanging out with real talent. Maybe he hit his head too hard on the landing and he’s not gonna be Captain anymore. On the flipside, if he really is smart, then putting him in a standard, modern hospital room and telling him the truth is going to have him clamming up and refusing to believe a goddamn thing he hears for a really long time.
The real question here is, how long it does it take for the man, the myth, the legend to notice? What does he do about it? How long does he wait to get his bearings, confirm his suspicions, and gather information before attempting busting out?
Turns out the answer’s about forty-five seconds.
Sometimes clever posts die a quiet death in the abyss of the unreblogged. Some clever posts get attention, get comments, get better. Then there’s this one which I’ve watched evolve into a thing of brilliance.
This. This is why I love tumblr.
Natasha’s boobs: food for thought in two gifs
TWS: Natasha saves Steve, by pressing him into her chest. She has to act fast to save both him and Sam, because she is the only one who saw Bucky’s gun and was able to correctly and timely predict where he will shoot. This moment is not even aknowledged, as it’s just a thing that happens. She literally is sitting in Steve’s lap for the rest of that scene, feeling around between his legs for her guns, yet nothing, no tee-hee, she is sitting on Steve’s dick ~u guys~
AOU: Natasha saves Bruce by pulling him into her chest. The camera lingers, the shot goes on and on, everything is telling “LOOK, he is ON HER it’s like they ARE HAVING SEX and his face is in HER BOOBS GUUUUUUYSSSSS THEY LOOK LIKE THEY WILL DO THE DO”. Nothing about this shows her competence, nothing about this presents her as more than an object.
There’s absolutely nothing sexual about the scene in The Winter Soldier. You know, no one even thinks about breasts and penises just as no one thinks about noses and ears. All of them are there because they are parts of the human body, but there’s no attention drawn to any of those parts, because THEY ARE NOT THE FREAKING POINT! The conduction of the scene and its camera work are focused on showing how Natasha saves the lives of both Steve and Sam.
On the other hand, the Age of Ultron scene is 100% sexual. The fact that Bruce lands with his face on Natasha’s breasts IS THE POINT OF THE SCENE. It exists for the sole purpose of sex innuendo. The scene was conducted and shot to hint at a possible relationship between the characters, most specifically a sexual relationship. Nothing in this is about Natasha saving Bruce’s life. I’m just glad that Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo performed the scene in a manner that doesn’t highlight its sexual undertones.
