It is a lovely Q&A, and once more I am totally delighted by just how good Eccleston is. He is and has remained my favorite Doctor because of the warmth, candor, and activism he brings into everything he does. A truly fantastic actor.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Needed to Stop Deifying Steve Rogers

Sam Wilson looks at the Captain America Shield, standing in front of a banner with Steve Rogers' face.

In a lot of cases, when someone dies, many people will immediately act as if they were a saint upon the Earth, truly too good for this sinful world, and had never done anything wrong in their life ever. It’s a natural reaction, of course, to grief. You don’t want to remember the bad times, so the person that’s gone takes on a better image than perhaps what they had. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier does this with Steve Rogers.
