kinda aged from milk to yogurt? like i didn't care for the girlfriend first and then wife bits, both because i don't care for that kind of bits in general and because i thought she came across as annoying. not to take comedy bits as gospel because all comedy is an embellished and polished version of reality, but things like how he said she reacted at best buy, how he said she basically argued him into marriage, how in the "comedians in cars getting coffee" he said she would just criticize any choice of carpet he'd make and yeah she did (and before that he'd defended her against seinfield), several other things, and coupled with how other people have described encounters with her, yeah, like she's human of course and i dont really judge her, but on a skin level i find her annoying and i care not one bit that they divorced. good for them honestly my eyebrows were all the way up whenever he mentioned her and the way she spoke to him.
it's kind of how like Oh Hello aged (it's on netflix i highly recommend it). john's character george at one point tells to nick's character gil: "you think if you OD'd tomorrow anyone would give a shit?" and honestly that gives me the chills. Oh Hello was recorded in 2017.
many many things in all his specials were like cardboard signs saying "hey y'all should be a bit on guard". now instead he's an obviously invested parent, his life seems brighter in general. in a recent interview with kimmel he said sometimes he wonders if he actually did die a few years ago and this is heaven, where david letterman wants to hang out with him (it was very sweet and the interview with letterman is sooo interesting).
overall i think he aged like fine wine and his previous work aged like milk left to become yogurt, yep.
(like he finally looks his age and has the healthy weight he'd been missing. some people think he's had work done but if you look at pics of him from college he has the jawline and fuller cheeks. that's his natural look and the skinnier one isn't)
theres something so incredibly prolific about john mulaney's comeback kid special. i cant tell if it aged like milk or fine wine or maybe just a nice slightly stinky cheese. the whole bit with his wife who he is now divorced to, relating it to the movie the fugitive with the "i didnt kill my wife!" "ooo whos that fella, i bet he did kill his wife," and the whole bit about not wanting kids when he now has a kid, the office temp stories from when he was young and drinking and addicted to drugs and now how that happened again in his adult life, the bits about his parents sprinkled throughout and how it all comes in to the grand finale with bill clinton, the comeback kid, a political bit in the pre tr*mp era that hits just correctly and just at the right time to be funny for what it is, how he ties the fugitive back into it, then hits you with the "hey ellen" "cause he never forgets a bitch ever" and slam dunks the end with his dads law firm representing clinton. truly a work of art that could not have hit the same in literally any other year.

For some reason they never use images like this
I suppose it kinda contradicts all their more childish arguments
never beating the self insert allegations

thanks for the additional information and i'd like to add that 1) he's not subtle about his opinions and we would have heard about any kind of trans criticism directly from him on stage, multiple times and in elaborate ways like we have with his opinion of trump and catholicism and the less bad word, 2) he slipped up on everybody's in LA calling mae martin the wrong pronoun, immediately corrected himself and went on without a fuss. how transphobic of him /s
an additional kinda off-topic thing i'd like to say is that comedians crying about wokeness are the weaker ones on stage. john mulaney's opinion that comedians have authority by being the person on the stage in control of the room comes from him being able to have and do that in the first place. As of now, all the comedians i've seen seriously crying about political correctness and blaming it for their lack of success are people i'd never heard of before, without strong bits and stuck in open mics, or people already in a decline.
i'd made a reblog of another post but i might as well make my own because it's truly bizarre the way the internet still behaves
the internet's reaction to john mulaney will be found in psychology books in future years.
this got long. my bad.
tldr: yall have been weird about john mulaney for a long while. yes, even about the dave chappelle thing.
"but he let dave chappelle on stage-" the venue let dave chappelle on stage. Because despite all the bullshit he's been saying venues and platforms still think he's a big name, so if he decides to pop up and drop in, they're going to let him regardless of openers already being there. It's insane how people think john mulaney could dictate what a big venue (and netflix, as i think it was during an event) can and can't do around him.
"but dave chappelle based all his set on transphobic and ableist things-" that's on dave chappelle, not any other comedian who has to share the stage with him. let's repeat this again: john mulaney did not "platform" chappelle, the venue did. john mulaney can't go around dictating what other comedians say the same way other comedians can't dictate what he says, just like it is in any other profession and general aspect of society.
"but he hugged chappelle at the end-" chappelle had talked about an aggression he'd been a victim of in the previous months and john mulaney expressed solidarity for that. Like the testimony of the transphobic and ableist jokes, this was said by other people on the internet that claim to have been present. It's impressive how fast any other recounting has been shut down and ignored, like any possibility of further critical analysis of the situation. I'm not cis myself. I could smell the "something's weirdly missing" from miles away, because when he went to rehab I thought back about all his jokes involving drugs and thought "yeah this checks out", when people started calling him transphobic i thought "this guy?? Horse Loose In A Hospital guy?? I gotta check".
(other testimonies also said the transphobic and ableist jokes were a part of the appearance, not all of it, and that other jokes did get a laugh. Which yes, it is annoying to hear people reward a comedian with laughter after he's been a dick and I would've been mad the whole time too)
"well he shouldn't go around hugging transphobes" on an abstract moral basis, I agree. I'd rather he stick to hugging people like jon stewart.
"he betrayed his lgbt+ fanbase that is the reason he's famous" no it isn't. I find no righteous joy in telling yall that john mulaney is known and respected and gets gigs in the comedy scene because he's good at it on his own from content and technique standpoints, and people recognized his talent and future fame from the start, not because the community made him famous by latching on to him as the Cute Unproblematic White Twink. Him becoming famous would've happened anyway because he's objectively good at his chosen career. Also "betrayed" is objectively wrong because of the previous points mentioned above.
Also let's remember the time period this happened in: john mulaney was recovering from nearly killing himself with drugs, dealing with the fact his friends had to push him into rehab, ending a years-long relationship (where he did not cheat according to the ex herself if yall bother listening to her), finding himself a parent of a clearly unplanned baby and stepping up to it, while facing vitriol and crazy backlash because of it all. I wouldn't take anyone too seriously in the aftermath of this.
yeah while we're here, let's also address the whole divorce fiasco:
"he cheated" no he didn't. The timeline provided and that can be proven by social media interactions and talk show appearances says so. They were separated well before they both went to rehab for different things. She wasn't at the december 2020 intervention, at least. She removed hims from her socials months before. They weren't involved anymore, let it go.
"he never wanted kids" so? people change as he himself says. Or was he meant to be a deadbeat and ignore the baby that was clearly unplanned? It's insane how people are holding this against him.
"he robbed tendler of her childbearing years" this is even more insane. She has repeatedly said she didn't want kids herself, and froze her eggs because of feeling socially pressured, at least twice in instagram comments only. She's got a new boyfriend and can have all the kids she wants with him. But people don't actually care about her as a person, only as her being a means for their weird revenge fantasies against a comedian they thought they knew through a stage persona. Just take a look at the unhinged comments people have been leaving under everyone's social media posts including hers.
"he based his whole shtick on being a wife guy (so i now feel betrayed that they have divorced because ??? but pretend i'm righteously offended as He Has Lied On Stage)" equally insane things to say. Also no, the wife bits make up not even a fourth of his overall material, but one wouldn't know that if they only saw his stuff through memes and the netflix specials.
"well i'm childfree and liked he was also childfree and now i'm disappointed" now this is reasonable. I was weirdly disappointed for a while too and then got over it. Because it's one of the things in life you have to shrug off, because other people can choose to keep children and raise them with an obviously present support net and it's none of our business.
Here's some more things for yall to chew on: john mulaney has expressed support for trans kids being targeted in schools, during the initial monologue when he hosted the Independent Spirit Awards with nick kroll (they did it two years in a row and i can't remember which year it was). john mulaney has also previously supported lgbt+ charities with donations some years ago (i don't remember the name but i remember being happy about confirmation that a comedian i liked was a good person). john mulaney hasn't said or done anything negative towards trans people and lgbt+ in general since the "incident", nor did he ever before. Also he striked with the other writers to support the less famous and wealthy ones.
"but he had jerry seinfield on." Netflix had jerry seinfield on. Because seinfield just made a show with netflix too and he's being made to promote it. Also yes, by several accounts john mulaney looks up to jerry seinfield, in the same way i might look up at a senior in high school when I'm a freshman. Doesn't mean he agrees with him on everything and doesn't mean they both can skirt the obligations of the industry they're in.
Yall want something nice to chew on? When john mulaney went on seinfield's show "comedians in cars getting coffee", seinfield demeaned annamarie tendler's professional abilities and john mulaney immediately and repeatedly contradicted him. "She doesn't know what she's talking about, all women think they're interior designers" vs "Actually she does know what she's talking about" kinda exchange. Seinfield also made a joke about her throwing a rolling pin at john, and john mulaney deemed it a dumb 1950s stereotype.
look, is he perfect? no. he has moments where he lacks some social awareness, because he was born and raised wealthy, but he's never been cruel or obnoxious about it and instead recognizes it every time he mentions (and disparages) his upbringing. it could be seen even before baby j that he grew up insecure of himself, through and under the obvious jokes about anxiety and servility, and he can be an asshole about it (though less now, i suppose thanks to near-death experiences and having a child readjust your whole life). it's the fact that the internet decided to put him on a pedestal as a paragon of neat cuteness, reducing his work to Wife Guy Blorbo and seemingly ignoring all the "hey i've been an alcohol and drug addict willing to commit crimes to get drugs and i'm putting up an extremely clean-cut persona that should have you all worried and suspicious". I used to look at that guy and sense the something that wasn't adding up. I've been observing this whole mess since he first went to rehab with a sense of relief. Parasocial of me, yes I know.
one day the internet will add up the pieces. hopefully. until that day, it's gonna be weird.

Aang would more likely go "you know what would be great? The complete set. Nonbender, waterbender and airbender. Hey wouldn't it be funny if that was the exact order they came out in and it'd be like with sokka you and me" and the universe heard the avatar and said "bet"
I really do hate the idea that Aang was having kids JUST to repopulate the air nomads. The idea that Tenzin was a third timeās the charm situation, that Aang kept ātryingā for an airbender and was disappointed with Kya and Bumi
I honest to god think Aang was not thinking āI hope this kidās an airbender!ā Each time. I donāt think the thought would even cross his mind until someone else suggested it. Heād be typed up thinking about how heāll balance his new child in his life, Kataraās health, how to even be a father having no parents himself. All of those take priority in his mind
I honestly think Aang would be super appalled by the suggestion that ārepopulatingā was his goal with his family. What it says how about he thinks of his wife.
If anyone is going to have the thought āI hope itās an airbenderā Iād bet it was Katara. Itās still not why. But she knows and loves Aang and has seen how hard heās struggled without the airbenders, how lonely heās gotten, I could see Katara having the thought āFor Aangās sake I hope youāre an airbenderā before Aang ever thinks āI hope youāre an airbenderā
I donāt know man. This idea is just so gross to me, and I hate how itās thrown around by the fans like it must be the case, with no room for questions, why ELSE would Aang be having kids?
Rubs me the wrong way. Really does

Going off from this post of mineāI would say the reason Aang is an unhinged feral child is because he's an airbender. I imagine being able to jump from roofs and giant flying bisons mid air and climb buildings in two jumps and run fast enough to cause whirlwinds while being born and raised in a community of people who serenely do all that every day because it's normal for them would indeed cause crazy ass neural pathways in the brain
if I could simply open a glider and clear Ba Sing Se's walls in ten seconds and then jump from them with no aid whatsoever except my ability to slow and cushion the fall with nothing but air I imagine my expectations of safety would be kind of different too
#it's a very good thing for the Avatar world that the Air Nomads are chill and pacifist as a culture#add to it the fact he can pull the Avatar card in terms of authority and abilities#aang#atla#avatar the last airbender

Here is a comics list. For outright queer Loki, start from Agent of Asgard (subtler until the end). Actual Lady Loki appears in Thor #5 2007 (psa: Lady Loki is just a moniker for when Loki took over Lady Sif's body. Besides that, Loki is always Loki). If you want to really understand Agent of Asgard and onward, the common advice is to start from the Dark Reign arc.
Ok, I have one issue with everyone (understandably) clowning on the Loki Series.
Where are the alternatives?!
Whereās the āYeah, it sucksā¦but hereās some actually good Queer Loki rep:ā ?
If weāre gonna clown on Disney, for the sake of other Loki fans, give them something else to obsess over.
A comic, online series, fan made vids, ect.

I would highlight the sick burns part too, I remember at least two ("Hey Roku it's the girl that didn't even know you were alive" and "apparently jokes don't run in the family") from book three
also thanks @itsachristastrophe for this gem explanation
I'm tired of people defining Aang as this boring little vanilla guy. Aang helped Katara destroy a factory. He participated in Toph's scams. He shrugged off Katara's theft of the waterbending scroll and heartily laughed at her jokes about it. He was delighted by the Painted Lady ruse. He mastered airbending at twelve and the avatar state at thirteen. He snooped around the old ship after Katara said it was booby trapped and dared her to follow and stepped up to take the blame when it went badly and then surrendered himself to protect the village because he knew he could hand everyone on that ship their asses and escape. He outright lied to two communities that had been bickering for a century to get them to stop. He egged on Katara when she decided to throw hands with Pakku. He wants to ride every big animal in the world ("they don't like being ridden but that's what makes it fun" -unhinged take). He has sick burns for everyone which are doubly funny because they're almost always unintended as such. He threw a clandestine dance party in the nation that banned dancing and thought he was dead and wanted him dead. Before that he corrected and argued with teachers, beat a bully without lifting a finger and then brought his teenage friends to pose as his parents. The whole Bonzu Pippipadaleopsicopolis the Third thing. The being idiots with Sokka in Ba Sing Se thing with the bowing and the busboys disguises. He rightfully asked "what's cosmic power compared to a girl". Let's add all the badass stuff he does as a bender and as the Avatar up to and including energybending and the conversation with Koh the Face Stealer. That time in The Chase when he finished the fur trail and then decided to just sit down, sleep deprived, to wait and face whoever it was chasing them. Aang is one of the funniest and coolest characters I've ever seen and he deserves more respect. Absolutely unhinged kid with immense powers and the world is lucky he's goofy and has a good heart.

It had to be surreal for a while, seeing their children flying on a bison. It's like seeing little Aang and Katara and Sokka waving from Appa.
