“During one shoot at a house, he was waiting for us to set up a backdrop, and he sat down at the piano and started playing and singing. I immediately told the assistants to pull down the backdrop, which was blocking the light coming though the windows to where the piano was— afraid I would miss this moment. No problem—Downey played a 45 minute concert that gave me plenty of time to make a series of great pictures, and he enthralled everyone in the room with his performance.”
My first reaction was ‘Nice thought but there’s no way, Coulson is much younger than…’ and then I stopped mid-thought.
Because you know what.
You know what.
After Steve, the US government had to keep trying to recreate the Super-Soldier Serum.
And who
and who
would be the FIRST DAMN PERSON IN LINE to volunteer?
They told us it never worked again. And that was kind of true. They never again recreated the super-strength or the gleaming pecs. But other things, they got right. They got the vastly delayed aging. And the kind of reflexes that make a man able to take out two armed thugs with a bag of flour. And the talent for leading through example. And they got the most important part, Erskine’s favorite part: the magnification of moral fiber, taking the loyalty and selflessness of a loyal and selfless man and making him into something spectacular.
Coulson didn’t buy those vintage cards on Ebay.

KATIE. KATIE. KAITE READ THIS.
OH
MY
GOD
And he could have some crazy healing factor that let him survive getting stabbed by Loki!!!!
the other day i had to spend time with a girl in my class and we started talking about glee. She said she watched it because of kurt and blaine’s relationship. i asked her if that wasn’t a bit objectifying, and she said that she didn’t care about what their bodies look like. she went on to say how she was the least homophobic person ever and i promise to you that angels descended from the heavens to tell her that nobody asked her and that she should probably stop hitting on an openly gay guy in the school because wow can you not. well done, here is your badge from a grade-a homosexual that declares you incapable of anything bad ever i hope you prepared an acceptance speech
