Age Of Ultron:Deleted Scene (Source: (x))

It’s so frustrating that with the quantity of useless garbage that made it onto the screen in AoU, Whedon decided this scene was expendable. In a few seconds, it illustrates how the influence of SHIELD/Hydra has shaped the Sokovians, and by extension, the Maximoff twins. It also plays into Steve’s growing unease with the role of Captain America and how it may conflict with his personal values, a development which culminates in his decision to drop the shield at the end of CW. Instead we get endless iterations of that stupid, out of character language joke.

im 100% sure this move was created when their combined 4 braincells were fucking around

#DKLFJDLHLFJLK ok listen #thor’s pouting because jane’s on a research trip and steve’s in agony because bucky’s out there someone and they’re both #moping around the avengers compound #bringing everybody down #tony makes them go outside #“i don’t care what you do just my god do it away from here so i can BREATHE for five gd seconds” #hence #FRISBEE BASEBALL #here is how you play frisbee baseball #steve slams the shield. thor hits it #it’s sam’s job to fly after it and try to catch it before it hits the ground (very difficult) #then sam throws it back and steve has to try to catch it before thor can hit it with his hammer again #you win when you’re too exhausted to be sad (tags via @newsbypostcard)

there is only one reason steve rogers was not shot through the back of the head in this exact moment. a news helicopter. the only reason he was not killed by a strike team who he worked w, maybe even trusted, merely days before is because hydra couldn’t have captain america’s murder recorded and broadcasted on live television

it’s also interesting to note that this is steve giving up. this is steve stopping fighting. this is a broken man. this is a man who knows he’s going to die.

hydra has, whether intentionally or not, torn this man apart, attacking every aspect of who he is. project insight weakened his trust in the govt and what he’s been fighting for. Fury’s death and the realization that hydra had infiltrated shield and the very agents and teams he had been working with for years were potential enemies was another blow to the outer edge of steve; his career.

next, they attack his image & turn him into a fugitive. they turn his colleagues, they turn America, against him

then, the hits started to come closer to home. he’s led to the base he trained on, with photos of bucky and Peggy and stark hanging on the wall. & right below them, zola. zola, the man linked directly to bucky’s death, the man he let go in that first hydra base, was right there in front of him, untouchable and telling steve his life, his death, was pointless. hydra had persevered and flourished.

at this point steve is wounded. he has natasha, he has sam, but his life has been torn down around him, his values and beliefs are being questioned and challenged, and he is the number one fugitive in america. he’s on shaky ground, he’s swimming against a current that keeps getting stronger.

then, finally, a cumulation of it all, comes the winter soldier. the mask comes off and it’s all over. steven grant rogers has been attacked at his very core, and he’s been broken. shattered. he cannot fight, he cannot bring himself to save himself. w/o the news helicopter and Maria hill, steve rogers would have been killed.
