Superhero Damage Control [Comprehensive]

Lucy immediately called her PR department to ask why Will McAvoy wasn't on their shortlist, and the other party gave a very convincing answer.

Will McAvoy has no ratings.

For TV networks, ratings are everything, time is money, no one wants to spend 5 minutes discussing philosophy and politics with you on a column, but they like the host of a political show to sing and dance and say no The pornographic jokes, ridiculing the current affairs and those politicians, show that journalists have mastered free speech, but in fact none of them have truly mastered free speech. Praise the media elite.

Maybe they all felt sad for the audience's stupidity and ignorance in private, but they all chose to compromise with the audience. In other words, they compromised with capital and democracy.This is a very subtle paradox, when you support the people's right to choose and the right to freely allocate user property.At the same time, you lose your personal dignity and freedom of the press.

Lucy is the kind of person who compromises with the audience, she must, because the ratings mean a wider audience, and these people are the objects that Lucy will fight for and please in the future.

Lucy goes on and on, trying to impress Bucky: "How about Jon Stewart, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, who our sample poll shows is definitely the most popular political satire show in America, liberal , absolutely politically correct, I swear if you were on their show, they'd stand on the couch and sing "Man with a Plan" at you."

Bucky showed a ferocious expression: "That song is so stupid, the first time I heard it, I had to get myself so drunk to forget the tune of the song."

"Okay, what about the Colbert Report? It's more conservative, but their tone is very sharp and intuitive. There is a spirit of saying what you want. College students like it best. It has been on the air for more than ten years. Guess How many Emmys have they won, and for how long have they been No. [-] in the ratings?"

"That's not important." Bucky paused. "I've already decided. Let me tell you about Will McAvoy's strengths. As you can see, his arguments are very clear, and he is a centrist. If He was absolutely right when he said that he hates categorizing people by partisanship, and you saw that he had an incredible amount of discussion about this speech at Northwestern University.”

Lucy: "He yelled at a female college student and mocked her for being brainless."

Bucky was surprised: "Does she have it?"

Lucy answered honestly, "No."

Bucky smiled: "So he was right."

Lucy raised her forehead: "It will make him lose the support of the young people, who are the future."

Bucky sighed, "I'm really worried about the future of America supported by these idiots. You mean McAvoy is going against the mainstream?"

Lucy: "Yes, that's what it means."

Bucky's eyes lit up: "Singing a naysayer, rebellious spirit, the most scarce thing in this era, as a 'man with a plan', my next plan is to protect this spirit. I checked, and McAvoy has a A political talk show, I want to be on that, and I'm ready for you to let me know."

Bucky turned his head and walked towards the gate. Lucy grabbed Bucky's clothes and ran after him: "No, we can't be on his show. I haven't agreed yet."

"No, I have to." Bucky walked forward without looking away, "If you don't go and get A, I'll run downstairs to their TV network and shout, 'I'm Captain America, US Army bastard, owe me I have not been paid for 50 years, I have no choice, I can only sell my shields for living expenses', how about this?"

"You're so irresponsible!" Lucy yelled angrily, "I've had enough trouble now, do you want to give me more trouble?"

Bucky thought deeply for a moment, then put on the look of a kid at Christmas drooling at toys in a glass window: "Lucy, I want to be on Will McAvoy's show."

No, no no no no no, this expression is too irresistible.

Lucy rejected Bucky: "Your request is very touching, but still no, I will not let you be on a show that has no ratings."

Bucky nodded approvingly. "Will McAvoy doesn't have ratings. I do. Get it done."

"I'm not your superhero's nanny! James Buchanan Barnes, stop!" Lucy called out his full name angrily. Lucy hugged Bucky's waist and was dragged by him Walking forward, the heel of the high heels made two marks on the ground.

Bucky didn't seem to feel that there was a waist pendant of more than 50 kilograms at all, and continued to walk towards the gate of the Avengers Building as if there was no one there. He keenly observed that there seemed to be some unusual people at the gate...

"Paparazzi, honey, keep smiling." Bucky snatched Lucy from behind and hugged him into his arms. Lucy's profile was pressed against Bucky's leather jacket, a stream of leather mixed with men's perfume The smell wafted into Lucy's nose.

The flashing light flashed, and Lucy showed a happy smile just right, and got into Stark's driverless car with Bucky.

"Bucky listen to me..."

Bucky leaned over suddenly, with his left arm resting on the outside of her body, forcing her to lean towards the door: "Lucy, if you're going to ramble on, I'll consider other ways to shut you up, just Like Tony did." He glanced at the paparazzi who had been stalking them, "How about I put the roof down, the people behind will love to take pictures."

Lucy leaned back suddenly, and the back of her head hit the glass window. Lucy groaned with a headache.

Bucky sat back with a smirk, and Lucy felt the sense of oppression he caused suddenly disappear. She peeked at Bucky's expression, unable to measure the truthfulness of his words.

Lucy coughed twice in embarrassment: "So you noticed me and Tony..."

"Tony is still distracted, and you are about to knock him out of the upstairs. In order to save that little bastard with a sperm and a brain, I have to interrupt your good business recklessly." Bucky put his hands on his chest He looked at the toes of his leather shoes, circled them twice, and asked suspiciously, "Lucy, you are not slow, you have already noticed that Tony has been flirting with you, but you have no response, Don't you love him?"

"Loved."

his money.

"Why do you keep rejecting him?"

Don't be too ugly for the sake of tearing up in the future.

Lucy thought silently.

Bucky said, "Worried about his crooked lower body because of his age? If you're going to be a couple, I'll watch him while you're away."

Lucy sighed, she didn't really want to say it, but among all the superheroes, she was most worried about Tony. Tony's elitism was so serious that he didn't even notice it, which made Lucy angry Sad again.Before he was kidnapped by the Ten Commandments Gang, he was an arms dealer. He used his genius to develop weapons. Facing the doubts of countless human rights organizations, he arrogantly made those women who questioned him submit to him. Under his lower body, he said to those angry people, go fuck yourself!

After becoming Iron Man, he began to regret everything he had done, but his actions completely abandoned his former self, shut down all Stark's military production lines, researched clean and renewable energy, and counted all the bloodshed and casualties in this world. on his own head.As if the former Tony Stark was his enemy, they stood on the same boxing ring, either you die or I live.

Tony didn't even realize that the former self and the current self are basically the same person.

Facing the media that finds fault every day, he said, you crazy people who follow my ass and wait for my blood to bleed, take my news and feed yourselves, I don't care.

Facing the questioning Congress, he said, you politicians are taking my political donations, and now you want to snatch my technology in the name of citizens, and you have the ability to kill my lawyers in advance.

Facing the people who were hostile to him, he said, I don't care what you think, I am saving you.

He doesn't know how to compromise, he doesn't bother to explain, like a kindergarten kid, his mind is full of saving the world, and then he does it on his own. When the catastrophic consequences happen, he regrets it to death, but no matter what No matter how many times it happened, next time, he will still do it.

He is the Louis XIV and Napoleon of the 21st century. His creativity is against the sky, his destructive power is amazing, and what is even more frightening is that deep down in his heart, he thinks he is the savior.

Lucy trusts Tony, but it doesn't mean she doesn't consider being a PlanB to make sure.

Always keep a hole card, this is what Bucky taught her when playing cards, and she is definitely a good student.

But she couldn't say to Bucky, "Darling, I'm wary of him, in fact, I'm wary of all of you."

So she used the most classic sentence pattern.

"Tony is a nice guy."

Pop, a good person card was thrown out.

"But I treat him like a brother."

Pop, a brother card was thrown out.

"That, really, makes me a little sad."

Tony's voice suddenly sounded in the car, and Lucy almost rolled out of the car in fright.

"Tony!!" Lucy yelled, and she realized that she and Bucky had been listening to her conversation, especially about Tony. "You're eavesdropping on our conversation! This is too much! Stop!"

"Baby, don't be angry, I actually wanted to remind you, but I feel a little..." Tony explained stumblingly.

"Stop or I'll tear the door open."

Lucy said in a deep voice, as if there was rolling thunder in her throat.

Bucky realized she was really angry.

The car stopped, Lucy slammed the door angrily, and ran to the nearest bar, Bucky chased him out, "Bucky, leave me alone, I have to drink a bottle of vodka myself to go out with you or Tony's urge to fight."

Lucy kicked open the door of the bar, leaving Bucky outside. Like a shepherd dog tied up by its owner, Bucky obediently leaned against the fire hydrant, quietly looking into the glass window. Lucy Sitting on the bar counter, banging his head on the table over and over again.

A golden-red light whizzed past New York like a shooting star, Tony landed beside Bucky, Iron Man's mask bounced off, Tony said guiltily, "Is it too late for me to go in and kneel in front of her to apologize now?"

Bucky looked at the MK37 that Tony was wearing, knocked on the shell, and deduced its thickness and practical function from the reflected sound.

Bucky shook his head: "Go back and get a thicker set."
