#but anyways it is A COMMIE REMUS

[polaroidcats]

I am having further thoughts about german Remus!

Born and raised in Chemnitz (obviously, duh.) but moved to Berlin to go to Uni and get out of Saxony - though he did miss his home and parents a lot!

He got the communism from his grandmother who is also concerningly romanticising the DDR - something Remus starts heavily arguing with her about when he's a teen, but he can never quite shake the homey feeling he gets around old East Germany paraphernalia.

After moving to Berlin he can't quite find the place he'd hoped for and still feels like he's somewhat on the side lines. So after finishing his bachelor he decides to get his masters degree in Manchester. He isn't sure how well he will fare in the UK but he just wants a change - and a place where he can start fresh and more confidently (he doesn't 😅🫠)!

He has a very faint german accent in English that he is inappropriately self-conscious about, sleeps with his edition of Das Kapital tucked under his arm at night and shys away from all confrontation - UNLESS IT'S ABOUT KARL. Then he will argue you against the wall, calmly but determined (that's how Sirius really falls for him, he thinks that's so hot).

MORE BELOVED GERMAN REMUS THOUGHTS!!! <3

ofc he was born in chemnitz, he never stood a chance not to develop a deep obsession with karl, the poor boy!! and yesss to the complicated feelings about DDR paraphernalia, he definitely goes thru different phases there but he can never fully lose the nostalgia and homely feeling when he sees them even though he also sees things more critically as he grows up.

ahhhhh i love this silly boy and his karl marx obsession hehehehe <33

What’s up w german remus? lol

German Remus is everything to me. He is a vibe. He is a lifestyle. He's extremely left leaning and loves a political demonstration. He has complicated feelings about East Germany. He's cosy. He actually hates the cold, but still makes sure he he practices lüften in the winter because he's not about to let mold in his apartment. He seems serious, but actually has the most wicked sense of humour and his smile powers entire cities. He always slathers his fries in Pommes-Soße and can be found eating Döner Kebab and smoking a cigarette that he rolled himself behind a bin at 3am. He rides a vintage racing bike. He reads der Schimmelreiter by Theodor Storm once a year—not because it's good, but because it made him feel something. He loves small Cafés where he can sit outside and read with his Kaffee and Kuchen. When he spends time in Berlin, they actually let him in to Berghein—not because he's cool, but because he looks so pathetic and unbothered that he actually suits the vibe. His favourite musical artists are Trettmann, ENNIO and TYM, but catch him dancing and screaming the lyrics to 99 Luftballons at der Klub. He loves a wheat beer, but prefers Kölsch, and if you try to make him drink Astra, he will throw up. Update: I've been informed he's a Sterni guy, and honestly I see it.

@lilacella and @polaroidcats have been doing Gott's work, bringing beautiful collages to us. You should absolutely go and check them all out!!

If you need more evidence of German Remus being everything and then some, please read Berlin Angel by @de-sire-blog or Seventeen Hours by @eyra. Cat also told me to rec where are we now? by lady_grey. (there is also the German Remus Lupin tag on ao3)

Finally, if you haven't read Cat's antifa wolfstarbucks ft. commie Remus YOU MUST.

Anyways, as you can see I have no thoughts or feelings about this at all.

i got an ask or two abt what i think abt ww so ok i guess here it goes.. im gonna skip a buncha spaces because there will be SPOILERS below the cut and i dont want mobile to get fucked

beep boop spoilers below

beep boop spoilers below

beep boop spoilers below

beep boop spoilers below

overall thought it was very average.. beginning was phenomenal up until right after the steve + lasso scene.. then after that it was pretty cringey up until they leave for the front (though the ice cream bit was cute and made me smile).. front scene & the village scene were both god-tier quality.. gala scene was just completely unnecessary and didn’t really serve any purpose other than to show gal looking stunning af.. rest of movie after that was pretty corny and uninteresting for me tbh

things i liked:

gal is flawless and i love her & all of the amazons

the fight choreography was pretty fucking good, especially in the village

i liked the scottish guy from their little group but i feel like the rest of the characters didn’t get that much development

music was really good

color grading was super nice

themyscira was incredible

things i didn’t like so much

honestly... the steve and diana romance seemed very rushed and unbelievable.. especially the first moments when he’s straight up naked it was so rom-commy i visibly cringed.. i would have preferred to see more friendship between steve’s secretary and diana rather than more steve scenes zz.. or just make gal only interested in havin sex with a dude for the novelty of the situation rather than trying to build an actual romance in like 30 min.. they either needed another hour on the movie or go in a different direction imo, their relationship was very weak 2 me.... maybe i just don’t like steve bc he’s a boring char lmfao

the whole ares plot was very weak tbh.. i thought it had a really good setup and thought they would do some cool ares-manipulating-people thing where he inhabits different people’s bodies to get them to continue the war or w/e but after the initial guy (who was obviously not ares) was killed, instead of there being any consequences of that ares just fuckin.. appears.. sup diana it was me the whole time.. idk it really took out a lot of the shock factor and kinda ruined the whole twist for me.. made me wonder what the point of the twist was when they weren’t gonna go anywhere with it anyways

however much i love the guy who played remus i don’t think he should have been ares.. like i felt like it would have been a way better Look if ares was just an entity that possessed random people, like instead of the battle being in that dude’s body he would abandon poor remus and become the manifestation of the god of war or w/e.. idk his face just did not look menacing behind that helmet lmfao

the whole end battle was super overdone but later i realised it was exactly like a comic book so maybe that was what they were going for.. one-liners and laser blasts.. i can definitely see geoff’s hand in that final battle scene lol that’s exactly how he wrote end of spectrum & darkseid wars

my only criticism of gal was that i don’t think she appeared distraught enough during the gassed village scene.. and also just didn’t display enough emotion in general (for me).. i get why they didn’t have her display that many emotions, because they had something to prove with the first female-led superhero movie and they would probably face a lot of criticism if gal appeared too emotional (bc female stereotypes) or w/e.. or maybe its just an issue with gal idk.. but i dunno by making her an actual god it kinda killed her relatability for me. i never identified that much with wonder woman but i wanted to at least empathize with her in some of the more emotional moments but i just found either the direction or her acting kind of lacking in those moments that were supposed to be super emotional. not my biggest concern with the movie, but it did make me less able to sympathize with her which is kinda what i look for in a solo char movie

they also never said how steve & the rest of the germans were able to get into themyscira.. i was thinking during the movie that it was ares letting them in to like, lure out diana or something, but nah.. they just never explained it

OH YEAH another thing that always pisses me off in movies in general........ everyone was speaking english. the germans. the amazons. ok fam!!!! i have the ability to read just do subtitles it really breaks my fuckin immersion

overall i guess i went in with too high expectations and came out disappointed (as I usually do).. movie was just incredibly average when i expected it to be exceptional. shrug!! im not really that big of a ww fan so i guess i dont really care abt it that much but i was hoping the movie made me become more of a ww fan and it just kinda reaffirmed that she isn’t really the char 4 me.. a god tier (literally) beautiful warrior who kicks ass.. nah.... can’t relate.... hal who slips on bath soap and knocks himself out in the morning.. that’s me fam that’s me.. overall this movie was a good thing for the industry & for women as a whole and i hope it makes tons and tons of money so that they will keep making women-led superhero movies but yeah.. just not the right char for me!
