HAH!!

Zeke: I take back my statement. You're pretty famous between ladies.

Levi: Jealous? Because women always ignore you and try to flirt with me, even though I have a short ass?

Zeke: I have Yelena.....

Levi: Your choice is as pathetic as you.

Zeke: ......

I’ve yet to see a decent reason as to why people dislike Peggy/Captain Carter other than some dudes being typical “she’s a woman she’s got cooties” neckbeards or tumblrinas being pressed because they’ve convinced themselves she’s gotten in the way of their non canon slash.

(PS: using Marvels treatment of Sam as Cap to dislike her is dumb because (a) Sam’s getting a feature length film where he’s the sole lead. You can (rightly) criticise Marvel for how Sam has been used (more like not used) as Cap to this point without bringing a cartoon character with a handful of episodes in a cartoon into it and (b) she’s not even Captain America, the big Union Jack on her uniform kinda gives that away.)

(PPS: Now that I think of it, the “they’re pushing her down our throats” argument is equally stupid considering all she’s had is a couple of episodes of a cartoon like I said and a variant who got a 5 minute cameo in MoM (which Hayley openly hated).)

Beard Styles

Beard hair is most commonly removed by shaving or by trimming with the use of a beard trimmer.

If only the area above the upper lip is left unshaven, the resulting facial hairstyle is known as a mustache;

if hair is left only on the chin, the style is a goatee.

Goatee: A tuft of hair grown on the chin, sometimes resembling a billy goat's.

Junco: A goatee that extends upward and connects to the corners of the mouth but does not include a mustache, like the circle beard.

Meg: A goatee that extends upward and connects to the mustache, this word is commonly used in the south east of Ireland.

Van Dyke: a goatee accompanied by a mustache.

Monkey tail: a Van Dyke as viewed from one side, and a Lincoln plus mustache as viewed from the other, giving the impression that a monkey's tail stretches from an ear down to the chin and around one's mouth.

Hollywoodian: a beard with an integrated mustache that is worn on the lower part of the chin and jaw area, without connecting sideburns.

Reed: a beard with an integrated mustache that is worn on the lower part of the chin and jaw area that tapers towards the ears without connecting sideburns.

Royale: a narrow pointed beard extending from the chin. The style was popular in France during the period of the Second Empire, from which it gets its alternative name, the imperial or impériale.

Verdi: a short beard with a rounded bottom and slightly shaven cheeks with a prominent mustache

Muslim beard: Full beard with the mustache trimmed

Soul patch: a small beard just below the lower lip and above the chin

Glitter beard: Beard dipped in glitter.[20][21]

Hulihee: clean-shaven chin with fat chops connected at the mustache.

Friendly mutton chops: long mutton chop-type sideburns connected to a mustache, but with a shaved chin and neck.

Stashburns or the Lemmy: sideburns that drop down the jaw but jut upwards across the mustache, leaving the chin exposed. Similar to friendly mutton chops. Often found in southern and southwestern American culture (see, for example, the Yosemite Sam caricature).

Closed or Tied beard: Mostly seen among modern Sikh youth, this is a kind of full beard tied by using a sticky liquid or Gel and stiffens below the chin.

Oakley beard: Described by Indian makeup artist Banu as "neither a French beard nor a full beard". She used the look for Rajinikanth in Enthiran (2010).

Full: downward flowing beard with either a styled or integrated mustache

Garibaldi: wide, full beard with rounded bottom and integrated mustache

Old Dutch: A large, long beard, connected by sideburns, that flares outward in width at the bottom, without a mustache.

Sideburns: hair grown from the temples down the cheeks toward the jawline. Worn by Ambrose Burnside (the namesake of the style), Isaac Asimov and Carlos Menem.

Jawline beard: A beard that is grown from the chin along the jawline. Chinstrap, chin curtain and brett are all variations of a jawline beard with distinctions being chin coverage and sideburn length.

Chinstrap: a beard with long sideburns that comes forward and ends under the chin.

Chin curtain: similar to the chinstrap beard but covers the entire chin. Also called a Lincoln, Shenandoah, or spade.

Brett: similar to the chin curtain beard, but does not connect to the sideburns.[17]

Neckbeard: similar to the chinstrap, but with the chin and jawline shaven, leaving hair to grow only on the neck. While never as popular as other beard styles, a few noted historical figures have worn this type of beard, such as Nero, Horace Greeley, Henry David Thoreau, William Empson, Peter Cooper, Moses Mendelssohn, Richard Wagner, and Michael Costa.

Circle beard: Commonly mistaken for the goatee, the circle beard is a small chin beard that connects around the mouth to a mustache. Also called a doorknocker.[18]

Designer stubble: A short growth of the male beard that was popular in the West in the 1980s, and experienced a resurgence in popularity in the 2010s.[19]

Sea captain: A rounded, bottom-heavy beard of medium length with short sides that is often paired with a longer mustache.

The absolute childishness of pouting and bitching and complaining that Finlay isn’t Jay, though, like this is history repeating in real-time that obviously nobody remembers from last time bullet club did ye olde white guy leader turnover, when everybody was stroking their neckbeards and declaring that Jay was a poor man’s kenneth no matter how obvious it was he wasn’t...trying to be...an imitation...but to be his own person.  Which surpassed his predecessor in every single possible way it could have.

He did his job so well that ppl have entirely forgotten the hissyfits they threw when he took the job and are now directing exactly!  The same criticisms to David, who exactly as Jay, happened to be the next white guy standing in line and who is doing the best he can in the fucking...less than a month he has been officially involved with Bullet Club at all

Like the fuck do you think Gedo is with him?  Because OBVIOUSLY Jay was a generational talent and absolutely irreplaceable, but he still has to be replaced!  The role needs filling, the ship needs a captain, and Gedo’s there to loan a little legitimacy, get things cooking, exactly like he did for Jay.  They’re in a rough spot and they’re doing the best they can and it’s nowhere near the stage where you can call it a failure just bc Finlay hasn’t gotten huge reactions yet.

All Finlay did was accept a damn job tbh, one that is going to have him travelling extensively away from his family for long stretches of time beyond what he was already doing, so like...idk, cut him a fucking break or something, he hasn’t even had time to fail yet.

[anarchist-rat-swarm]

There was a post earlier about a trans guy excited by the prospect of growing a beard. I can't find it now to reply, so I'm just gonna throw this to the wind and trust in the gods of the internet to get it where it needs to go.

How to Beard:

Advice for anyone growing out facial hair for the first time.

Patience. Every beard sucks at first. Every beard also itches at first.

Dealing with the itch. Moisturizer can help, often in the form of various beardcare products, but ultimately, the only way out is through. The itching only lasts about a week, and once you get through it, you'll be fine.

Patches. Everyone's first beard is a little patchy. Generally, a few months is enough for it to fill out. If you're going to try to clip the longer bits to match the shorter bits, use clippers with a guard. Don't try to freehand it.

The Yeard. The one-year-beard is a way to figure out how, exactly, your beard wants to grow. It's obviously a bit of a time investment, but committing to not cutting or trimming your beard for a year will show you exactly what you have to work with.

Beardcare. There's a lot of products on the market, and while beardcare is essential, most products aren't. You'll want something like an oil, balm, creme, etc, and a good brush or comb. Anything beyond that has an increasing likelihood of being snake oil.

Product. The best products have jojoba oil, which is a kickass moisturizer. Healthy skin makes for healthy hair. Oil is just oil, with a minimum of other stuff, so a little goes a long way. Balm contains bee's wax, and has a little holding power if you want to style it. Creme is just goop, no holding power, but its easier to work with than oil for some beards.

Combs and brushes. When choosing between a comb or a brush, be aware that the brushes tend to have soft bristles, not hard bristles like hairbrushes. Also, many beard combs are way too goddamn thick, and are like trying to comb with a phone book.

Shampoo and conditioner. The regular stuff works fine. You dont actually need the stuff specifically made for beards, and it costs like 10 times as much. The longer your beard gets, the more important conditioner becomes.

Style. Not every kind of facial hair works for every kind of face. Imagine Captain Jack Sparrow with a lumberjack beard, or Tormund Giantsbane with a goatee. You'll need to find the style that works for your face, bone structure, general style, etc.

The Fluff. Beards physically make your face bigger. They stick out from your skin and change the shape of your head. If you find it looks too wide, something as simple as trimming the sideburns can make your face look narrower again.

Minimalism. More is not always better. A swashbuckler stache might be perfect for you, and takes a lot less time to grow out. It's a great first step, and worth trying.

Neckbeards. Shave your neck, but not necessarily the underside of your jaw. Some people try to grow a full beard but shave right up to the edge of the jawbone. Don't do that. It looks weird, like a monk's tonsure but upside-down.

Beer. Kristofer Hivju swears by it, both drinking it and pouring one over your face every day, and I accept him as an authority on the subject.

Captain Neckbeard be like “M’hearty.”

I'm sure you hear this all the time, but why can't we just let people enjoy things? Why are fandoms so caught up on following "the rules" and chasing away people who think differently? I follow a Star Wars blogger who is getting harassed by the usual neckbeards because they say he isn't following the naming convention for droids. Normally droids have a dash between the series and their specific identifier (such as R2-D2 or C-3P0). But this blogger has a headcanon where he believes the Crips gang exists in the Star Wars universe and they would replace the dash with the letter C. So instead of using R4-C0, he goes by R4cS0. I agree it's weird to imagine gang bangers shooting Glock19s at a Jedi, but just let the guy enjoy stuff!

Oh this is a complicated question, bare with me.

1. Nostalgia. Most of the time, Star Wars is seen as a child. The movies were made and marketed heavily to children. Having adult fans was an unexpected bonus.

-meanwhile George Lucas rolling around in money at Skywalker ranch with his youngest daughter.- 

Nostalgia is sweet but it’s also very poisonous. Even I’m not immune! (Sailor moon 90s anime and manga with all its flaws is something so special to me.) anything pointing out cracks is almost blasphemous. George (who I believe is a adhd king) didn’t really plan to deeply into the lore and made a lot of stuff up on the spot. He just wanted a cool movie.

He has amazing inspiration.

~ samurai movies

~western movies

~ King Arthur stories

~ Eastern Asia culture and customs

2. Talking to oneself.

Having different opinions and views is important. Seeing a story through a different perspective shows a new side to something you’ve never noticed. But if you lock yourself into a room where all you hear is the same voice, you never grow or change.

Example: the Jedi. Han Solo talks like they are a cult, while Obi-Wan teaches Luke about a civilized society that studied the force.

3. Trolls, they just want to pick fights with the people that are invested. Oh if I poke at some lore the nerds will come running.

4. Taking things way too seriously.

Captain Barbossa said it best himself:

If you take Star Wars super seriously you will burn out all the fun. It’s a fairy tale in space, it would be like pointing out plotholes in Cinderella?

Example: Padme dying from a broken heart, jar jar existing, Anakin being a child of the force. Luke and Leia being twins because Vader became a sith.

5. Don’t like change. It’s that easy.

That’s the best reasons I have for why people grumble and whine in the fandom so dang badly. I will say over time a lot of the poison people in fandom have been muted. Once bashed actors are now beloved, hated characters now loved. Time changes all. So Who cares?! have fun! Find what works for you and roll with it!

The true fun of Star Wars is that it’s a sandbox where anything can happen in a galaxy far far away.

I hope I answered your question in a way that makes sense. These are all my point of view.

I mean, are we really surprised that straight white dudes get an exception made for them when it comes to comic book movies? Though, weirdly, it seems to be a very Joker-specific exception. I don’t know why that is.

The neckbeards are already going after The Marvels and trying to start a whisper campaign against it, because it has a Black woman director (Nia DaCosta) and the main cast is two Black women (Teyonah Parris and Zawe Ashton), a Pakistani American woman (Iman Vellani), and Brie Larson, who they despise with everything in their tiny, shriveled souls because she once said that maybe the women reporters in a Captain Marvel press conference should get a chance to ask her questions.

after Angela being robbed of an oscar, I don't trust people who complain about mcu films being nominated. They're okay with films like the dark knight, Joker and the batman winning oscars (especially in the acting category) but when it comes to the black panther films being nominated for oscars, suddenly it's a problem

you're so right!!! and its so telling that they have it out for the Black Panther because its a black cast.

THE SHORT, UNHAPPY LIFE OF CAPTAIN NECKBEARD

Unlike many ship figureheads, apparently these pirates opted for a pillow tied to the stern.

It has been exactly one sennight since the sinking of the Lady M’lady, and with it the loss of Limsa Lominsa’s most pathetic crew of pirates. Unsurprisingly, while others make a show of mourning the loss of the crew out of politeness, The Crucible is the only publication which dares to write the full story.

Picture: one of the most pathetic ‘ships’ in the city of Limsa Lominsa.

The Lady M’lady was first constructed shortly after the commencement of the Seventh Astral Era. The ship itself started with the intent of being a place for the outcasts of Lominsan society (and I implore you to imagine someone so pathetic they’re not even good enough for that shithole) to find a home, led by their pathetic captain. While The Crucible has discovered his birthname to be “Klindiskriba”, to all others he was known by the moniker Captain Neckbeard, on account of his tendency to so frequently lose fights that he was constantly either bruised or bloody and complain about this fact while simultaneously never doing anything to better himself in any way, instead wanting the world to change around him to accommodate his strange and oftentimes pathetic ideas.

Look at him. Look at his neckbeard. Does he dye it?  Indeed, Neckbeard created a cesspit of like-minded individuals. Despite their constant bemoaning of their failures (and the clear fact many became pirates out of a misguided and frankly childish hope it would earn them attention), Neckbeard’s crew failed to set sail for multiple consecutive summers. Growing so insular, and leaving their ship less and less, they adopted their own bizarre dialect of Lominsan “speech” which somehow makes even less sense than the norm. Indeed, those who had the displeasure of speaking with them reported that if one were able to penetrate their tendency to start most nouns with a tacked-on and halfhearted “Arrrr”, the only thing to be gleaned from anything the crew had to say was that they blamed everyone else but themselves for their myriad problems.

All of Limsa knows he’s a loser.

Eventually, considering them an eyesore (in a city in which the locals routinely shit in the street and allow beastmen to walk about), Limsa Lominsa’s Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn (who they referred to as “ArrrrBitchy Mum” and “ArrrrFemoid”, a term which is particularly baffling and childish) had enough of their freeloading. Indeed, she declared Neckbeard’s crew to be a nuisance, and declared them outside the protection of the law, as well as that giving them charity (as opposed to wages) was now a crime.

This, at least, got Neckbeard moving. Faced with a choice of either departure or annihilation, the crew of the Lady M’lady set sail for a place they called the “Chad Islands.” Before you ask, no, there is no such place. Indeed, it seems in their insular nature, they completely invented the concept of the island.

Behold: the saddest sack of ‘pirates’.

Within a handful of nights, the Lady M’lady ran aground on a tiny island so small it had yet to be officially named. For reasons unbeknownst to anyone but themselves, they named the place their first and final voyage ended “Arrrrincel Island”, and there they all starved to death. The most keenly ironic part of their demise is that, had they been willing to merely swim to an island which on a clear day is entirely in sight of the place they died, they would have found themselves on the pleasure beach of Costa Del Sol at the same time as Gegeruju’s pre-Moonfire open-call orgy.

What a tragedy.

Yomiko Kusanagi finds this every bit as tragic as if someone came to her house and shot her in the face while simultaneously adopting her cat and giving him the best home imaginable.

[shorter-than-tom-hiddleston]

Everyone talking about how Falcon and the Winter Soldier is "boring" and should just be nonstop fight scenes is missing the entire point of the show. I've seen so many posts that literally say "they need to quit talking about their feelings and go back to doing Marvel stuff" like SHEESH maybe this show wasn't written exactly for YOUR tastes. I personally would watch 2 hours just of Bucky and Sam working on that boat and be perfectly content. Also, this IS Marvel, and the sooner they accept that the better. Marvel is not just mindless action sequences. It never has been. Anyone that thought it was has no grasp of storytelling and might as well be a TV zombie with their eyes glazed over clinging to every last second of movie violence 🙄

Why are these angry white neckbeards wasting my time?

Why are these angry white neckbeards wasting my time?

I’m sick of the bitching and whining about comic book franchises getting all “woke and preachy” by angry white neckbeards. Usually, this preaching starts if their beloved franchise has a sudden influx of female leads and black characters. That goes double for rancorous ranters on YouTube. You know the type – a face like a freshly smacked bottom and a need to say “I’m not racist but…”. (We all…

[frozenstyx]

I think it’s fair to say that everybody who buys a ticket for Captain Marvel does so ready for ‘feminist themes’.  Marvel has been leaning heavily on the the Lady of it all - the marketing clearly drawing attention to it and the release date falling on International Women’s Day. This wasn’t subtle. The cynical part of my brain that knows full well that this is a business move on the part of the studio can’t help but feel a little uncomfortable with it - much like in the run up to Jody Whittaker’s first episode as The Doctor, the marketing sometimes felt a little self-congratulatory. Acknowledging that they have finally, at long last, given a woman a shout, also acknowledges that they didn’t, for a long damn time. And yes, the film itself also contains a few on-the-nose Girl Power! moments that, again, didn’t go in for subtlety. But there are two points that the inevitable criticism the usual parties will level at this bring up for me, that I think is important to mention.

CAPTAIN MARVEL SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT

(Before I begin - this movie wasn’t an absolutely perfect, tightly-made example of cinema that has absolutely zero flaws and is beyond all criticism. It did have flaws. But these things, for me, were pretty trifling. Things like the clunky infodump of exposition right at the beginning - things of that nature that could have been done better but overall didn’t diminish my enjoyment of the film. I’m not attempting to hold this up as something sacred, or guilt anyone into feeling like they can’t criticise elements they didn’t like.)

First off - yes, a major theme throughout this movie is that of the female experience. And yes, they do not go in for a subtle, clever approach. Those Girl Power! moments are clearly signposted - Carol’s big, climatic fight scene to No Doubt’s I’m Just a Girl and the ‘smile, honey’ scene being two that immediately spring to mind. But, actually, I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I think something that gets lost in all the analysis and discourse surrounding the MCU, and superhero movies in general, is that these are family films. These films have to have stories and messages that can be interpreted by children.Not that I believe in talking down to kids, definitely not, but social context can sometimes be lost on them. This is why re-watching childhood favourites often reveals troubling things that you never picked up on as a child. Honestly, I would much rather these movies by a little on-the-nose to an adult eye and allow children to be fully engaged with the message, then try to get too clever and have the context the stories are coming from be completely lost on the young audience. Any oh-so-intellectual adult that complains about this movie sledgehammering it’s message: yeah, it did. But it wasn’t for you. When Monica watches her Auntie Carol fly off with a smile on her face? That’s who it’s for. Because even my 27 year old self - that knows that having Carol single-handedly take down a crowd of enemies to a banging No Doubt track is a little contrived - was still emotionally reacting with a very sincere hell yeah. And the fact that the movie, and the marketing, refused to let up on the feminist angle was something that already brought so much criticism to the movie kind of proves the point that these things still need to be hammered home. That so many people, particularly men, are immediately put off by the idea that this movie wasn’t going to allow them to forget that Carol is a woman and sexism exists is so revealing - just like the reaction after Fury Road when men felt ‘cheated’ when it turned out the female characters were the main focus, and not just the set dress they are usually in those types of films, to be saved by Tom Hardy and his manly manly muscles. That these people not just have these reactions, but don’t even think to examine why they have them, is proof that we’re not yet at a point where a female-led superhero movie can happen without comment. Let it be unapologetically obvious in what it’s doing, let is draw unavoidable attention to not just what it is, but what other superhero films aren’t.

And to the second point - while the female experience is a major theme, it is not the only theme. Feminism, as explored in this movie, kind of acts as a bedrock for a wider theme of the treatment of all minorities by dominant power structures and institutions. Carol’s relationship with the Kree has moments that are explicitly about the treatment of women in patriarchal societies, yes - Yon-Rogg calmly explaining to Carol that she is too emotional to be allowed power or agency, that she has to be controlled for her own good is probably the biggest example of this. But once the truth is revealed, both about Carol and the major twist of the Skrull actually being refugees rather than aggressors, the whole thing becomes something of an allegory for how real world minorities are treated, and kept as minorities, by real world powers. When Yon-Rogg tries to convince Carol is ‘turn off’ her powers and prove that she can fight him without them, what he is saying is that in order for her to be worthy of respect, she has to play the game according to the rules he has decided on, rules that they both know give him the advantage. Is this not how all minorities are made to feel at point or another? Make yourself less, be less obvious, blend in, make yourself weaker, make yourself less of a threat to me or my position, and only then will we, maybe, grant you respect. One of the universal experiences belonging to every minority group is constantly having to adapt and moderate your behaviour for the comfort of others. All are expected to go to sometimes great lengths to be nonthreatening and unchallenging.

The fact that Carol is repeatedly told that her power has been ‘given’ and can be ‘taken away’ - even when she knows that this is a lie - is a very clear mirror of that. That’s why it’s so satisfying when Carol doesn’t submit and hits him with the full force of her power - not just because it’s a rejection of a pretty frustrating trope, but because of what she says to him; “I have nothing to prove to you.” She refuses to be any less than her full self to give him the illusion of being better than her or allow him an advantage he hasn’t earned. It’s what her World of Cardboard speech is about - “I’ve been fighting with one hand tied behind my back. What happens now I’m free?” (paraphrasing there, forgive me). And ultimately, what this movie seems to be championing is oppressed and marginalised people standing together to support and protect one another. Maria’s love for Carol comes from the fact that she stood with her and supported her as a single mother and a career woman (of colour, no less), that she believed she could be both a strong professional and a nurturing mother at the same time. The weakened Skrull survive because of those with strength that see what is happening to them and stand up against it. This point really hit home for me when it’s shown how Carol was the major inspiration for Fury in creating the Avengers initiative - that the original name was ���Protector’, that the name ‘Avenger’ came from Carol’s aviator callsign. The initiative was built upon the idea of protecting the people of earth from more powerful aggressors, of people with strength and power using it defend those without.

   Basically what this ramble was trying to say - feminism is a clear, signposted, smack-you-in-the-face theme throughout this movie, but that’s lack of subtlety isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and the story very much seems to be concerned with the experience of being a ‘minority’, of everyone that is held down by the established powers maintaining their position of privilege, being told that they aren’t as strong, aren’t as important, that they should be grateful for table scraps - that their stories can’t sell movies. And if you were so preoccupied being offended about feminism to even notice the rest, then buddy, this movie was never for you to begin with.

Okay so wow that must hurt huh? One of the lowest scores for an MCU movie being the first female lead film in the MCU not to mention that audience score like yeesh.

I mean yeah people online did say that people were gonna review bomb Captain Marvel with the audience score and to be fair comic book fans are extremely horrible I mean the same thing did happen with Wonder Woman...

Oh wait....
