yknow what’d be cool? mcu trojan cycle au

-steve is achilles and bucky is patroclus. obviously

-tony is odysseus (and pepper is penelope and peter is telemachus fuck this is cool). we shall spare him the dubcon relationships with circe and calypso because i’m not into that

-nick fury as nestor is the funniest thing i have ever imagined please just picture it

-i don’t hate anyone enough to make them be agamemnon tho. maybe ross?

-natasha is helen SPYING FROM INSIDE THE CITY

-and menelaus is whoever you ship her with because they’re the real love story of the iliad (aside from achilles/patroclus) and paris is rapist trash

-thor is zeus because lol

-bruce is hera cause i ship them and it’s a helluva concept. their relationship is not horrible in this version

-hector isn’t in this au because i can’t watch him die again

-or maybe thor is aeneas, leading his refugee people to a new home. that does put him on a different side to the rest of our heroes tho

-anyway it’s a cool concept and the only thing i won’t budge on is tony being odysseus cause he IS

i keep thinking about this one post i saw about how revolutionary it was to see black panther cry and i’m still confused about it cause it specifically said something like “tony stark gets to tear up manfully but t’challa gets to openly cry and that’s so refreshing” and i’m just so confused because tony is out here having multiple anxiety attacks on screen and talking about how he should probably be on medication and this either/or mentality is so wild to me because yeah black panther is revolutionary in so many ways but he’s not the first hero to show vulnerability and seeing iron man be so openly mentally ill and still save the world is pretty damn something as well and it just means a lot to me ok
