#Bob:The Accountant

[blindtaleteller]

Okay so. I haven’t covered this in depth in a while but yes: I’m going to do it again now.

Because here’s the thing; not only is this stupid idea floating around one of several manipulations, but this one in particular is a flat out lie perpetuated in the series by it’s writers through Mobius? It’s also erasure of the importance of the plot and the role the black actor who played Algrim and Kurse played in it.

What’s more, it’s a blatant lie easily called out by just watching the effing movie the scene is from.

For that matter?You don’t even have to watch the entire movie in order to know it’s bullshit. All you have to watch is literally 20 minutes and ten seconds (If on youtube? watch from time mark 29:21 to 49:31) -- though it ultimately starts with the very first, opening scenes.

But, here’s a few more rundowns, if you’re particularly lazy. Let’s start with this.

“ Okay, so who the hell is Algrim? “ you might ask. That would be one half of the character whose importance is being erased here.That is Kurse’s name prior to his change into BECOMING Kurse.

This guy:

Who is played by English actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. Look him up even if you don’t click the link to his wiki page. It’s his performance, and his character’s origin, accomplishments and death in TDW being downgraded in the Bob: the Accountant series.

Again, if lazy? He’s a former fashion model who directs, and has been acting for years.

(PS and side note -- yes and good god does it show he’s a former model, doesn’t it? Very pretty man under all that make up!! Geebs!)

To name some roles; he was in Oz, Game of Thrones, Mr. Eko, Concussion, Bourne Identity, AND for those of us who follow comic films in particular? This is also the guy who played KIller Croc in Suicide Squad.

Moving on, though. How does that erase his performance?

Because while Phase Four writers and PR teams have been scrambling to try and make the majority of general sheople fans (nope I didn’t mis-spell that, sound it out using the same vowel sounds) forget through PR and interviews stating they’re ‘doing something new with the characters ...for the fourth time!! :O!!’ after the fact? Most of us haven’t forgotten that:

            1. Most of us know how counting to ten works, and in turn understand that the reason it’s called Phase Four is because Phases One through Three came before it in story: including these films, creators works, and actors parts in them. (only slightly less important than #2)

            2. Literally the entire reason why the Dark Elves wake up, pre-plan their infiltration and attack on Asgard using Algrim as a martyr-like sacrifice for their twisted-ass cause (which he literally fulfills to the letter,) and are able to be lured away from Asgard at all is because of Jane and what she has. 

And quick, visual reminder of what she has; as the major plot device and motivation for Malekith, the Dark Elves, and yes Algrim/Kurse as one of (if not his only remaining) Officers?

Not only was it at least a mile away from the main Palace, and the dungeons? It was inside Jane; and Malekith (NOT Algrim/Kurse) following his sense of the Aether (Reality Stone) is established and repeatedly stated as the main reason they are there even after having their asses all but wiped out or handed to them by Odin’s father, Bor.

Malekith’s ability to sense it inside Jane: is also the reason why they spring Loki to leave the planet, with the intention of sparing the people another attack that: since Algrim did do his job so well, and disabled the shields exactly as was planned in the previous scenes before they even arrive: They knew Asgard couldn’t weather.

(couldn’t find the gif of the planning scene but yeah, just watch those 20 minutes of the movie I mentioned above. It’s eternally, permanently there for reference in the movie, in that twenty minutes.)

Kurse had the killing blow, only after he had opened the shields as planned; and after he had traveled that distance to catch up to Malekith (who was already there by that stage and engaging Frigga) in order get to Frigga’s quarters to do so.

(pardon some of the quality below: but these are the best I currently have that don’t chop it to an even worse scroll.)

So. No. At no time was Loki in any way, shape or form responsible for Frigga’s death. And no, I don’t find it very funny, cute, respectful of the actors’ work or the other creator’s work before them that they did this and don’t just ignore it but downright downgrade and demean the whole like this.

It’s disrespectful of the people who worked hard on that film and every other film made before it. Actors, writers, directors, costume: you name it.

(Except maybe Gagnarok, since they were definitely rolling with Taika “I’m going to screw everything and every creator who came before me’s work and efforts up on purpose and leave it for someone else to clean up after me” Waititi)

It’s disrespectful of every fan including the general sheople eating it up, and yes actual fans of the Thor corner who have been shelling money out of their pockets to watch that continuing story and fix promised in the advertisements and interviews during the two year plus wait for it to air under that premise, only for this utter crap to continue instead: and both main characters to be turned into literal walking meme-worthy shadow versions of their once interesting, original characterizations as formed for the differing MCU universe, from Phase 1 in 2010-2011 twelve years after filming past Iron Man, started.

In closing:

If you’re lying to yourself trying to pretend Disney and Marvel Studios doesn’t know this having created it, and is literally banking millions if not billions on believing you’re too stupid to figure this and all the other issues with the Bob: the Accountant series, SMNWH & DS: MoM out, regardless of their PR attempts to cover the fact that on top of that they added to the issues by bad-faith hiring people like Waldron, Raimi, Herron and her allowed biased buddy hire in Sophia?

 If you’re defending these things, regardless?

If you’re giving people who actually care enough to call it out grief online or otherwise?

Yes, that disrespect, and assumption that you are that dumb: is part of what you’re defending, and helping to promote as something you want more of, instead of calling them out on it.

...also tags. Again.

Thor rushing off to save and/or strangle his little brother.

Have yet to see an example of this not being true across platforms & irl. Just sayin’.

Pro Loki series fans use Sylvie for their sick fantasy of getting revenge and they take it out on Loki cus he's a man and they portray him as one that is weak and easily more able to damage. It's very disturbing to me. And the show and actors purposely lead into this. They encourage this idea. It doesn't make it right? Like trauma doesn't give you the excuse to be shitty.

Loki doesn't fit the "ideal man" so he's easier to pick apart and destroy.

They love seeing him being destroyed and this woman doing it.

They take his diversity as weakness and now have amplified it.
