these MCU women need more men in the universe sticking up for them, not them having to stick up for themselves all the time. good for Samuel for calling out the incels by name!

I find it also telling that it's been Sam, Don, and Anthony. I'll never forget the shit they put Emily Van Camp through and the only one literally by her side was Anthony. Justice for Sam/Sharon!

[pepsi_twist9]

Wild since Anthony is known to be such a dudebro about his relationship with female costars

[josiefier]

And in general. But I will give credit where it's due

I think he's just bad at articulating himself in a non-Dad way... I love him but sometimes the things he says I'm like I get what you're trying to say but why in that way. he's my true himbo Cap <3

Yessss and justice for Sharon in general. I hate how badly the MCU screwed her over

[inandoutofgrace]

I had no idea Anthony stood up for her, this is pleasantly surprising.

[josiefier]

I'd have to dig through my Tumblr to find them, but there are so many gifs of interviews - one where one interviewer asked who'd save Bucky and Sam and he just goes, "Sharon Carter." And another at a cast press thing and Emily was kind of in the back, everyone doing their own thing until Anthony took her by the hand up front with him.

They definitely seemed to have a similar friendship to Sam and Brie's. At almost no point was he letting people ignore her

[inandoutofgrace]

Anthony has his flaws but this is very sweet

[sheisagentleman]

What did Anthony say? (Pleasantly surprised he spoke up!)

[josiefier]

Basically just any time someone tried to exclude her he put her or Sharon's name in the conversation. Saying she was stronger than them, that Sharon would be the one to save the guys. Things like that. It wasn't on Jackson's level, but he was making it clear in his own way that she belonged as much as the others did

Isn't this like 10 years too late though?

How old is CM at this point

[bostongirl2003]

they have another marvel movie coming out this summer

[momsapplelie]

This isn't the first time Sam has defended her though. Son has defended her in the past too!!
