I would say context is for a weak, but...

I think that answers your question, Carol.

Also, Marvel... WHAT!

Leaving everything else to one side, she got married in Iron Woman armour... and a standard white bridal veil???

[morgana006.insanejournal.com]

... So they're basically saying that Tony and Steve aren't gay, but if they had the opportunity to have it be heterosexual, they'd totally get together.

Curse you, gender barrier, CURSE YOU!

[dorcas_gustine.insanejournal.com]

IDEK man. I'm just laughing my ass off!

[morgana006.insanejournal.com]

Also, the armor makes it very androgynous, so I bet if somebody cropped the text out and put a macro in...

Ah, that's nice. ♥

I laughed for like a minute straight when I saw that last night. It's amazing

THEY AREN'T EVEN TRYING TO HIDE IT ANY MORE.

You should see what she wore with the armor on the honeymoon.

I sent that panel to almost everyone on my AIM list to share the LOL when I first saw it.

I'm fairly certain Ms Stark doesn't have any hair.

Yes, i noticed this over the gay. i'm sorry scans_daily, i have failed you.

Idiot Mortals!

A slightly different take:



The onlookers were too good not to keep, and the hand on the shoulder really sells the moment. The face is still pretty feminine, but that's probably less obvious if you're not looking for it... If I were a better 'shopper (gimper, really), I might try some facial hair, but meh.

It's only subtext if it's SUBTLE, Marvel!

I am still flipping my shit at canon GirlTony :DDD

But wait... the Initiative was a bad thing, as it left us open for the Skrull Invation, wasn't it?

So... if Cap and "Natasha" get married, the Initiative goes on and we get invaded.... maybe if Cap and Tony got married, Tony would've been against the initiative, the skrulls woudl've gotten repelled easy AND Osborn wouldn't be on charge. (Ok, ok. That's a bit of a strech... but a fun one)

Does it count as Context for the Weak if it's blatantly obvious? :-)

One small factoid: Natasha Stark of Earth-3490 was born a woman. (Those kinds of gender switches between alternate universe versions of Marvel characters are not rare.) So...is it slashy if it's explicitly het? But that panel of Steve and Natasha kissing is hilarious.

[sherkahn.insanejournal.com]

It takes batteries, yes?

[cmdr_zoom.insanejournal.com]

I honestly had to look twice to see that it wasn't Tony with Steve.

[dorcas_gustine.insanejournal.com]

Don't be sorry, it's actually quite creepy.

[20thcenturyvole.insanejournal.com]

Given the implications for other universes - that those two would be OMGTRUELOVE perfect for each other if not for the tricky heteronormative gender barrier - I would say yes, yes, that is fucking slashy. AND I LOVE IT.

Hold up, they did Reed with Johnny in an alt verse

[jazzypom.insanejournal.com]

and they couldn't do the same for Steve and Tony?

For shame.

Or couldn't they even call her Toni Stark? Again, for shame.

Re: Hold up, they did Reed with Johnny in an alt verse

[dorcas_gustine.insanejournal.com]

A chours of thousands fanboys' voices would have cried:
"CAPTAIN AMERICA IS NOT GAY!"

Dammit.

Re: Hold up, they did Reed with Johnny in an alt verse

[dorcas_gustine.insanejournal.com]

Also, Hold up, they did Reed with Johnny in an alt verse

Where?

Crap. Hold on

[jazzypom.insanejournal.com]

It was written by Millar before he left the title. This was... three months ago. Johnny/Reed were together, and Doom was going around tearing the place up. If you give me a day (I'm going into my comics store tomorrow), I can find the actual trade and tell you.

Hey, no rush! Thanks! :D

This basically made my day when I did my comics run this afternoon, no lie.
