If GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 has shown us anything, it's that we failed Captain America.
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.If cussing was an art form, James Gunn would certainly have proved his mastery over it by placing the MCU's first F-bomb in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. It comes when Peter Quill and Nebula are entering a car on Counter-Earth. Neither of them have ever driven one, but Quill remembers how they are supposed to work from his childhood and has to teach Nebula how to open a 1980s Chrysler door.
Still, this feeling of doing something we're not "supposed to" is still extremely enticing when it comes to cursing, so it's common in movies for people to try and sneak one whenever possible and allowed. In a recent interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Chris Pratt mentioned that everyone tries to do it while on set and that he has tried it many times before, especially through improv .
A little earlier in the MCU timeline, in Avengers: Age of Ultron, Tony Stark does have his moment when he says "sh*t" in the opening sequence in Sokovia after he is shot at by the defenses in Baron Strucker's castle. Steve Rogers immediately tells him off because of the bad word, but we know it was just a tease — no one really doubts Tony's character or politeness because of a curse. He just said it at that moment because, well, being shot sucks.
And that's the beauty of cursing: when used adequately, it can express things regular vocabulary can't. The sense of urgency Quill wanted to convey couldn't come from any other word at that point. It's almost as if it was the word itself that unlocked in Nebula the comprehension of how to open the door. There's magic in that, and it's something most curses have in common.
