the avengers as children of greek gods

No… just. 

No. 

Thor is the son of Odin. Yeah great. He’s already a freakin’ mythological figure. Just stop. Black Widow as a daughter of Artemis? Are you kidding? Nooooooooo silly. She’s not a lesbian, or a man hater, and I’m pretty sure she’s had sex with a lot a lot of men, and used her body to get what she wants. Daughter of Aphrodite maybe. Capt as a son of Athena? Whyyyy? Same with Bruce, no reason for that. Iron man I can see where you’re coming from but… again that’s basically the opposite of Hephaestus’ personality. Hawkeye is the only one I agree with. 

#if you don’t understand what’s problematic about saying nat’s patron goddess can’t be artemis because she’s not a lesbian or a man hater … #i can’t help you #cap is the son of athena because athena is the patron goddess of warfare strategy #bruce as a child of poseidon is clever and fitting for several reasons that i’m sorry nobody seems to be able to see #but my fave is that poseidon is also father to polyphemus #a cyclops encountered by odysseus #tony might be a little more hera than hephaestus in personality but if you can’t see why that’s ironic and bittersweet #well #ok #o #k #OH AND GODS HELP THE NEXT PERSON WHO REBLOGS TO SAY ARTEMIS IS A VIRGIN
