gifs borrowed from this post made by barnesrogers​

Ok I literally never blog about the Whedon family farm cluster fuck of a bad decision but I’d like to point something out.

These two gifs. Try your best to ignore the glory that is Tony, and awkward turtle that is Bruce, for a moment and look behind them at the wall. More specifically the pictures. Every single one of them are a silhouette. There’s not a single family portrait anywhere. No school pictures. No wedding portrait. No candid moments of the kids outside playing, or baby pictures on the fridge. Which is instead covered in art work (if my memory serves me right i’ve only seen the film once so i could be wrong). Being a mom of one and an aunt of five that’s bullshit right there. There’s a least one picture somewhere on your fridge of ur kid(s). I don’t care how much artwork you’ve got to display.

Anyways back on topic. The pictures behind Tony – They are all profile cut outs. Right next to (look directly behind Bruce’s head for this one in the second gif) what appears to be a vintage picture of a circus poster. This entire house, (memory wise) is completely staged. And they (marvel) didn’t even try to hide that fact. 

Marvel doesn’t make accidental errors. (ie if they error they meant to do it. point in case my muse.) To position Tony right in front of these pictures with the lines he has, they gave themselves a way out…these two lines and two split frames gave them a way to allow the russo brothers to clean up Whedon’s cluster fuck. But that’s just my two cents. The anger over this insertion will never go away. I’m as mad about as I am about the decision to use my favorite Avenger as a god damn tragic backstory tool.

Marvel you’ve given yourself wiggle room to correct both of these bad decisions. Fucking fix your shit.

I’m jumping all up on board of the Clint was Tahiti’d when they were trying to ensure he was clear of Loki’s brainwashing, to keep him able to work and be an uncompromised asset and keep him from going crazy like Selvig.

This paired with the analysis of Tasha’s expressions and body language during these scenes have me sold.

Also jumping in bc I’m OTP trash but this would tidily explain why clint and the rest of the avengers don’t know that Phil is alive.

Insomnia adds to the conspiracy theory:

Clint is Tahiti’d and whole family is Life Model Decoys.(unless they are brainwashed too, or indeed agents)

This has been done in comics! In some non-616 arc (does anyone remember which?) Steve Rogers was brainwashed to believe he is a regular joe and given LMD wife and kid(s). Other Avengers and FF were somehow altered, too…?

Anyhow, like many LMDs, Laura and kids might consider themselves real people.
How handy that family is such a secret – makes sense then that nobody knew about them, and that would make it reasonable for all the medical checks and maternity care to be provided by SHIELD – no civilians poking around possibly noticing something weird. And secrecy makes it also sensible they might move frequently, thus have not much connections or keep in touch with friends or relatives… Like witness protection, really. Indeed handy if these people didn’t exist until few years ago and don’t have any childhood friends or family even if they have memories of such.
