(Anonymous) 2017-08-31 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)like, the dude is catholic, and Thor does dress silly. I think maybe a lot of people whose main exposure to christianity is american evangelical protestantism have a kneejerk assumption that it's gonna be mean/straightlaced/conservative or whatever? but nothing about that line read as mean to me, like. Natasha isn't a worshipper of Thor, he wasn't getting in her face about getting religion wrong!!!! he was saying that Thor might be powerful, but he's also a guy in a funky cape, and steve's not scared of him, and they're gonna get through whatever nonsense is going on. And saying that in a quick joke seems to me a perfectly IC way to try and give a little tension-breaking encouragement/hopefulness to a fellow soldier, which is basically his relationship to Nat at that point.
like, the language thing in Ultron fucks me up, because it makes steve sound like he's a mormon pastor from the 50s instead of a catholic soldier from the 30s and 40s, it's just weird and straightlaced and puritanical and completely wrong
but the one god line I actually liked, and I'm as atheist as they come

(Anonymous) 2017-08-31 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)Also, if you think the writer's "one God" quip was informed by Steve's 30s mentality and not more by Fundamentalist attitudes, then I refer you to Thor's "he's adopted" joke where apparently an Asgardian is making Midgardian references.
