Anthony Mackie: *Talks about raising his kids to be masculine which to him means respect, compassion, responsibility, protecting your family etc.*
Anthony Mackie: *Talks about how growing up in the 80s and 90s in the south you grow up misogynistic sexist and homophobic*
Anthony Mackie: My roommate was gay. I didn't know how to deal with that. My brother is gay. I didn't know how to deal with that. So being a MAN I used my art to better myself. I played Perry so that I could understand my brother better
Anthony Mackie:
A bunch of people online: He is clearly a homophobe alpha male type
___
Look. I get seeing a headline and taking it a certain way. I get the kneejerk reaction to not read what someone says in good faith. But Mackie has been pretty open about a lot of things in his life. So you can find out pretty quickly how he feels about things and that he is teaching his kids non toxic masculinity.
that podcast was so fucking good. i watched it like three times. i need to gif it, because there are SO many fucking teachable moments there. people hate on him, because it's easy to hate on black men. :)
Okay, but have we fully considered (and examined) the way Anthony is about to bust out of his shirt 🥵

Summary: They carve out a life in the shadows—country to country, target to target, blood staining their hands but never their conscience. They fight, they fuck, they take back pieces of themselves the world tried to steal. And maybe, for a while, it feels like enough. But ghosts don’t rest easy, and neither do old promises. And Bucky—Bucky learns the hard way that love was never meant to save him.

Okay, I’ve got an idea:
Thunderbolts* 2: Sam Wilson Boogaloo
It’s all about Sam Wilson. Bucky and the other Thunderbolts can be kidnapped or something, idk who cares, doesn’t matter. Sam will rescue them in the after credits scene, or they can all fall off the face of the earth. Again, it doesn’t matter, because they’re irrelevant.
All that matters in this Thunderbolts sequel is Sam. That’s it. Sam’s the plot.
Sam.
Sam.
Sam.
Sam.
Sam.
The end.
Sam Wilson
