>> I love in the first story, that Coulson is prepared for Steve's entry with clothes and all. <<
Yes. Steve isn't the first strayling that Phil has picked up. He knows to check for things like whether the person has personal supplies. Game night is more than just play -- it subtly trains people to accept things that he gives them.
>> I am surprised that SHIELD didn't send Steve out with a personal shopper, someone who would explain clothes as camoflauge. This is how to dress older, this is how to dress younger, this is what a working class man in his 20's would wear, this is what a young professional wears to work. This is clothes for a night club with a young affluent audience. This is what college age wear at college, at leisure at parties. Don't try to figure out what high schoolers wear. Now if you wanted to look like a pervert .... <<
That's what they would have done if they wanted to empower Steve, help him fit in, and start the recovery process. Instead they acted out of control, and it went badly for everyone.
>> This is what to wear to look like FBI, really its fun to let them catch the blame for everything. <<
*laugh* Yeah.
>> this wouldn't get anywhere near dressing to express yourself, but it would keep Steve from being as lost and they have experts in this available, well they did have experts before the Alien attack on New York. <<
It would have been nicer.
>> Natasha knows all about clothes as costume to fit in a particular group. <<
Primarily for women, not much help to Steve.
On the other hoof, I think he knows more about dress mode than most people give him credit for. If he really needed it ... well, he spent months on a stage tour. Theatre people are theatre people. That's more than enough time to get him acculturated even if he never learned to dance worth a damn. But he won't necessarily show the cards he's holding until he needs them.
