no but what fucks me the fuck up is how lois is suspicious of everything, questions everyone, and is always looking for ulterior motives... but she did not for a second believe that clark was a bad person even when the entire world turned on him. the most cynical woman on earth and even a bombshell revelation about clark's heritage wasn't enough to shake her unwavering belief in his goodness.

Loved that Lex lost because he just couldn't imagine that Superman would be humble enough to ask for help. His whole Ultraman scheme hinged on Superman fighting alone and went completely pear shaped the second Krypto was tapped in.

“They’re making Superman woke by saying it’s an immigrant story”

Superman? You mean the ALIEN from a DIFFERENT PLANET who WAS NOT BORN IN AMERICA BUT GREW UP THERE??? The one created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, who were both children of IMMIGRANTS???

Not only is Superman an immigrant BUT HES AN ILLEGAL ONE!! HE CRASH LANDED IN KANSAS WITH NO DOCUMENTATION!!

Every time I read the “Toph is a bad example of a disabled character because of her bending.” I want to Physically leap over a table and then flip that table because NO!!!! You do not understand!!!

Toph’s bending is assistive technology!!! It’s a medical aid!!!!!

Toph’s bending allows her to full access her world the same way my mobility aids do, or my medication does. There are times when due to inaccessible surroundings that her aids are rendered harder or impossible to use. Not unlike my own greatest enemy, stairs. However, when she is fully accommodated she’s able to be just as successful and thrive just as much as an able-bodied person albeit differently. Which is the ultimate goal of assistive technology.

Shout out to Eve Teschmacher tho. She realized her boyfriend was a piece of shit and that she was in extreme danger, and she managed to gather everything needed to take him down without him catching on until it was too late.

Mad props to James Gunn for giving Lois agency. She saves Superman! She figures out what’s happening with Lex. At no point in the movie does Clark have to save Lois. It’s so nice getting to watch a woman just be a brilliant badass. I also think this is the first time I’ve seen Lois interact with the Kents. When she tells Clark she loves him too it’s because she’s seen him as Superman hero of Metropolis and Clark Kent from Smallville.

i keep seeing well-meaning posts about tagging on ao3 claiming that 'no archive warnings apply' means a fic is fluffy and wholesome and maybe smutty but can be trusted contain nothing upsetting. and from the bottom of my heart, please, this is so wrong. like, even aside from the fact that 'upsetting' is a very personal definition, it literally just means that none of the big four archive warnings apply, and i promise you it's very possible to write a DEEPLY upsetting fic that contains none of those things.
