HENRY DANGER MOVIE SPOILERS

the henry danger movie was very much meant to be a soft reboot / simply testing the waters while delivering a fun lil adventure and for that i absolutely love it.

frankini was probably my favourite part of the whole film (minus the end). i did find the plot-line of jasper living in henry's shadow weird, because him being frustrated in dystopia makes sense, but his whole life??? na - henry's jelly was a whole ep touching on henry's jealousy alone.

i do love that henry was more cocky in the movie. the focus on the fact that relies on his superpower was good as well. henry was massively cocky in seasons 3-4 and only got knocked down a peg when he lost his original power. so him #1 being famous again and #2 having a power would obviously have him become his asshole self again. LOVED the end scene - literally screamed. the ending in general was meh to me until that scene. i do like missy and i really like how they've set up henry and missy's relationship but adding ray into that???? im so excited for the future (if there is one (i think there will be)) of the series. i fully believe that they're setting up for something more and this was just to vibe out how they're gonna go about it. if they make anything more i need ray to be front and centre please <3

plot twist since it mentioned that henry changed his last name in the movie what if it’s Page or Dunlop now..

[mariesbee]

i have a question for the dangerverse fandom. how do we feel about fanart? more specifically how would we feel about ray fanart as the 'cover them up slut' meme...is it, like- is that okay? appropriate? or is it too much? this is a genuine question people, please don't come for my throat.

“Fyp” we don’t do that here. I mean, Tumblr the app and website tries, but we don't do that here.

“But then how will anyone see it?” peer review.

“How do you get engagement?” by talking and engaging with other people. Or making a devastating typo. Either way.

“But—” Listen, you’re not doing solo stand up anymore. This is a group improv class being held in a SAW dungeon. Good luck.

henry and jasper's relationship in the movie parallels how ray and drex's relationship might have been before henry danger canon.

a ramble :3

massive henry danger the movie spoilers under the cut!!!

movie!hensper is a mirror reflection of what most likely happened with drex and ray BEFORE we ever got to see them together for the first time in hour of power. and the ways that henry interacts with missy throughout the movie parallels how ray and henry's own relationship began and i will DIE on this hill. the ray and henry parallels are rampant in them and why wouldn't that ray = henry concept transfer over to the one central conflict defining hensper as well? $!!$#?

drex was rays first shot, his first try at getting a grip on superhero-ing. his test run, his fallback plan, because he knew that drex would be too excited by the idea of being more important than he ever had been before to really think about it— for either of them to think about, to be honest. ray was just excited to be a superhero for the first time and drex was excited to be along for the ride. despite drex's turn to a more "evil" side, i don't necessarily think that all of that was just pure evil because actual, pure evil doesn't happen for no reason— I think that he too was frustrated and disturbed by having to exist in rays shadow, only truly living vicariously through his spotlight, to continue letting his life go like this. his turn to evil nature probably wasn't ever inherently evil, if not just being fed up with the shit he'd been served and absolutely SNAPPING because of it

henry, on the other hand, is similar!! henry is actually just insufferably infatuated with the idea of finally getting out of rays shadow. he is signing big corporate deals to devote his service to a company (.... much like how ray sold away his life & service to a government for partially for more recognition and money in the long run........) and is doing everything in his power to stay big no matter what. in the process, he's leaving jasper in the dark and treating him like a fall back plan while he searches for something even bigger. he ends up meeting missy, who's as dazed and excited to work with a hero as henry himself was at her age when he applied to work with ray. he sees himself in her— excited, ready, eager— and is willing to teach her what he knows in order to make a successful hero. when he starts working with her in newtown, she starts falling under the same sort of issues that henry had while with her ("is now a good time to mention i have my trig midterm tomorrow?") and he doesn't realize it, treating her in the exact same damaging ways that ray had treated him ("you're a sidekick now, this is what you signed up for!")

both ray and henry end up becoming obsessed with the idea of becoming greater than they are and then greater than that, of becoming the next big thing. of becoming good and honorable in all senses of the word. ray is indestructible, but now he wants to be a hero. now that he's a hero, he wants a sidekick. now that he has a sidekick, he wants one with powers & one that can replace him when it's his time to go. and when that one quits, he wants an entire team of sidekicks— so on and so forth until he realizes that it will never be enough, hits his midlife crisis, and makes the irresponsible and rash decision to quit forever and completely leave the danger force to handle things alone instead. some unknown force drags him back to his roots and he is forced to go back to henry & that old lifestyle to vince it

henry hart wanted his name to mean something, so he became a superheroes sidekick. when he became a sidekick, he wanted his own form of recognition. when he sacrificed himself to achieve that, he went to dystopia and wanted to make it big. when he brought jasper along to his suicide mission to make that happen, he wanted more fame. when he involved himself in government business to get there and get famous, he wanted even more. so he signed a deal with bizwatch and realized throughout the movie that he didn't appreciate his friendship with jasper enough and through bonding with missy learns how to "correct his errors". he gives jasper a chocolate golden star for his efforts and makes the irresponsible and rash decision to leave dystopia and fight crime with missy in newtown, completely abandoning jasper for him to deal with dystopian criminals on his own instead. a calling to the sense of familiarity that fighting crime for a small town brought began tethering henry back to his roots.

henry and ray meet in the middle— despite their strongest efforts, their old ghosts are tying them to a life that isn't theirs anymore, a life they desperately need to give up for their own wellbeing. but neither will because it's all they know— crime fighting represents both the best and worst times in their lives and it creates an unhealthy, VICIOUS cycle of hurting themselves/each other/others for the twisted comfort the aftermath will bring, over and over and over again. they are both perpetually trapped in a narcissistic cycle of their own making. nobody (not themselves, not anybody around them) are good enough to cut it off at the core or even separate themselves from that situation because nobody really knows how. the ones who did (PRE CANON/HD!DREX!!) are evil and rejected by society, and the ones who try (MOVIE!JASPER!!) are ignored and subconsciously belittled by the higher forces in their lives

chibi pair commission i made for @bigbysgentlehands

these two turned out SO CUTE! thank you so much for commissioning me<3

[mariesbee]

why can't i enjoy things like a normal person? casually, just a few episodes/chapters here and there, then move on with my life. but no, whatever it is, it worms its way into my brain, consumes my thoughts and it slowly drives me insane. i am unable to think about anything else but the Thing of the week, or month, sometimes year(s) if it gets that bad.

He doesn’t want your money, son. He wants to make you better. Just like I do. You’re a liar.

SMALLVILLE — 3x09 “Asylum”

[mariesbee]

you guys weren't joking—watched 1 random episode of supergirl and, oh my god?? the sly looks, the smiles! and why is it always the 'luthor' side giving these oh-so-intense LOOKS?? (first lex and now lena) not to mention that once again i fell hard for Katie McGrath SIGH if they permanently break up as friends i will die tho .i went through this with smallville and it fcked me up

[mariesbee]

this website’s easy watch. *dangles a bunch of greek gods like keys*

[mariesbee]

i think i should add a new comm sheet with more options, though people, you can ask, really! i have the prices set and examples, i just never got around making a proper commission sheet for fullbody/half-body stuff. oops

[mariesbee]

i am finding lex to be a super compelling dude. he wants a loving family, he wants to be the best there ever was, he wants to be so important that somebody will love him and then he’s also incredibly smart and curious and obsessive and his focus is what the hell is up with these small town people and their freakish accidents but also their friendships and relationships with each other. i think he just is so interested in all that because it’s like nothing he’s ever seen or experienced

[mariesbee]

the need for something like smallville clex but make it wlw,, SIGH should i watch supergirl

[mariesbee]

i watched @mien-s edit and HAD to draw something! its kinda wonky but i was going lowkey crazy looking for some conrad/devon content. ik the resident isnt a huge show but there's less than 50 fics on ao3 and no fanart of this ship. so here, have this
