no but let’s review some of the reasons mcu maria hill should be more popular.

• by the time she was twenty-five or twenty-six she already had a high enough position at shield to send letters ‘from the office of maria hill.’
  
• by her late twenties/early thirties, she was the deputy director of shield and fury’s second in command.
• in the winter soldier, she saved steve and natasha and sam. i think we forget that natasha would have bled out and died if maria hadn’t rescued them. y’know, unless hydra had executed her and steve and sam before she reached that point.
• also in the winter soldier, she was an essential part of bringing shield down. (and let’s not forget that “but steve” moment, okay? if steve had died she would have been the woman that killed captain america.)
• before age of ultron, she was working at stark industries, managing the avengers, and keeping an eye on coulson and his team. name one other person in the entire mcu who could do that.
• she was barefoot during the stark tower fight and afterward she just casually sits there picking glass out of her feet. and then she’s back in her heels the next day.
• not to be completely shallow, but come on, she’s gorgeous.
  

sorry, i just absolutely adore this character.
