I just rewatched AoU where they were fighting like cats and dogs for much of it, and even then it wasn't that they hated each other, at least that wasn't the vibe I got. It was that they didn't agree on things, and argued about that. Like people do, even when they like each other.

The scene at the end actually made me ship them, which very little in the movies have done, as they seemed to be getting on so well that. Especially given Tony's slightly skewed relationship standards, it is totally basis for a friendship.

But now, half of my tumblr dash is screaming blue murder because Bucky and Steve are being *mean* to Tony, and the other half is accusing Tony of being a Nazi, basically.

Like you said in another thread. I miss meta.
