But she lumped it all into one category. She didn’t separate them. She didn’t say “If I get catcalled, I might just literally get murdered. And when I get things I know explained to me by an incompetent man and I get mad, I get called ‘emotional’ or ‘difficult.’” She says, “If I get catcalled, or when incompetent men explain my own area of expertise to me, I do it pretty much everyday because if I don‘t, I will get called ’emotional’ or ‘difficult’ or might just literally get murdered.” She is phrasing it where she’s implying that she would literally get murdered by having someone explaining things to her. Any writer would have properly separated the two so that it didn’t sound like that.
Sorry, watched the scene again, so I edited the above, but it doesn't look like I got to it before you started replying:
I don’t think I know many people that lump two different things into the same category when talking. But that’s just me.
When people are emotional about something, sometimes, they don't explain them clearly. That's what I meant when I said it was written how people talk.
Okay. But what about her disregard about Bruce? I mean, yeah, being in fear of death by cat callers and having incompetent people trying to explain things to you pissing you off, I understand. But, did she forget that he’s suffered a lot of emotional and psychological trauma throughout almost all of his life? I mean, the Hulk’s existence is due to childhood psychological trauma, not just the gamma rays alone. He was then hunted like an animal on more than one occasion. He was then set off by Loki with the intention of harming the Avengers. Then he’s constantly stressing about the harm he could cause to enemies during missions with the Avengers. Then set off again by Wanda so Hulk could rage through an active city and attack citizens. Then he loses several years of his life due to Hulk being abducted to be a gladiator. The compound any guilt he has for not being able to stop Thanos‘ snap, the grief he may be still feeling for losing his friends that didn’t survive the Endgame (especially Natasha). Seriously, the fact he hasn’t had a complete mental breakdown is a miracle. Yet, she’s so concerned about getting back to work and basically shucking him and his experiences like they don’t matter. I mean, it seems like she doesn’t care about any of that, especially since he’s trying to help her. Hell, if anyone had half of his abilities, I think he would be the go-to guy on how to handle them. I mean, the only way it makes sense she would do that is if they’re setting up her own hubris. That something happens and makes her realize she truly wasn’t ready as she thought and really needs Bruce’s help after all.
I would say that she absolutely did NOT forget because she called him out specifically for not dealing with his own ****.
Let me get this straight… she tells a guy who has suffered emotional, physical and psychological trauma, not of his own making, and mostly due to circumstances caused by outside sources and other people… to deal with it?
I’m genuinely confused. But since you feel like you’re done with the conversation, I won’t push it any farther.
Sometimes others have had real world experiences that are harder to grasp when you haven't had those same experiences. In that case I find it better to defer to their judgement and appreciate that sometimes you count yourself lucky to be a man.
Same way flipping off the wrong guy in traffic can lead to road rage attacks and murder. There are news reports out there of all that happening in the past.
Par for the course. That's what most people say.
It's contextually appropriate, but I won't say more than that because I don't want to spoil you further.
