Yep, I would never have seen anything about all this if it weren't for Tumblr. I get the feeling Evans probably also got a serious talking to from his mum, since he seems to have a bit more of a clue about what's okay/not okay to say and how to apologise if you cock up.
If you ever get the chance to read the recent run of Hawkeye comics written by Matt Fraction, I highly recommend them. The basic premise is that it's about what Hawkeye does on an average Thursday, when he's not being an Avenger - the answer being, live in a shitty building in NY, end up rescuing a half-blind dog that's being mistreated and get in trouble with tracksuit-wearing Russian Mafia guys. There's even an issue told entirely from the dog's perspective. That Hawkeye just feels more real for me than 2-dimensional happy families in rural Nowheresville.
Winter Soldier is my favourite too - it just worked so well and showed what a less hackneyed bunch of writers and directors can do with the same characters. Having seen that, I wish they'd done the two Avengers movies as well, but at least we have Cap3 to look for, which is probably going to kill me with feels. ;)
