Thank you all!!
First things first - thank you all so much for the wonderful birthday messages that filled my inbox (both here and on LJ) today. I felt very much loved by you all, and my heart is still trying to calm down from the joy you brought to me. Once again, thank you all so much for them; every message will be saved and treasured for eternity, promise

Steve/Sharon. Don't get me wrong, both characters are great, both on their own and together, but I can't see any real romantic vibes with them. I might agree that they could have kind of a "friends with benefits" agreement, but then again, this is Steve Rogers we're talking about. And even though he initiates their kiss, I think it's more a gesture of thanks (for getting their stuff, for risking her job and her freedom for them) than anything else.
- my favorite pair of enemies/rivals/antagonists
Clint vs. Natasha in the airport battle. Sadly, their scene is way too short for my liking, but Natasha's mid-fight question and Clint's dry answer are one of the many wonderful tidbits I have about that battle alone.
- my favorite cast member
Sebastian Stan & Anthony Mackie. As I type these replies, I'm downloading some YT videos with these two, and gosh, even without a sound I can't help but crack up at several scenes - these two together are just hilarious! And they even transported some of that into the movie, if the VW Beetle scene is anything to go by.
- a character I’d die defending
Bucky, hands down (yeah, I know - what a surprise! XD). Cause if Tony wouldn't be so blinded by the rage and grief over his parents' violent death, he would see that Bucky, or better the Winter Soldier, was just that - a soldier, following orders that people with more power, sitting higher up in the hierarchy, gave. And "thanks" to endless sittings in the chair, getting his mind swiped, Bucky couldn't even question any order he got. He was, basically, a tool, and would you blame a tool for being used by the wrong hands?
- a character I just can’t sympathize with
A tie between Secretary Ross and Helmut Zemo. For Ross simply because he finally gets what he was yearning for ever since the Hulk escaped his grasp - power over superheroes. And he's intent on holding on to that position of power, no matter the cost. For Zemo cause even when you want revenge for something, it's seldom the right choice; besides, Cap and the rest of the Avengers did their best to save as much Sokovians as possible, and if Hydra hadn't take camp in that castle near Sokovia in the first place, Ultron and his gang would have ended up somewhere else. So, if anyone is to blame for the Sokovia tragedy, it's Hydra. Too bad that neither Steve nor Tony had the mindset to tell him so.
- a character I grew to love
T'Challa/Black Panther. Even when he's mourning his father and wants to take revenge on Bucky, he still has enough nobility and reason to see that the man was framed. And the mid-credit scene, when we learn that he has not only offered Cap and Bucky shelter in Wakanda, but also offers his country's science to help Bucky, combined with the words he says to Steve, is proof alone that he's not only a wonderful addition to the MCU, but also a true and noble soul. Runner-up: Peter Parker/Spider-Man. That boy is just hilarious, and hands down the best incarnation of the webslinger so far!
