Del Toro really went “I’m gonna take this story telling children to obey their parents and authority figures in order to become ‘real boys’ (proper members of society) and set it in Fascist Italy and make it so that Pinocchio is correct for thinking independently and living the life he wants to live” and he was so right.

You know what I love about Deadpool and Wolverine?
We get to see Wolverine's versions through the comics. We get to see things that ARE part of his life story in the comics (PATCH, the brown and yellow uniform) and real variants, the what if universes (Age of Apocalypse Logan, Weapon Omega - the one with only one hand). And when I come in contact with new fans, the MCU fans, they don't know what those Logans are. For the new fans, they are all variants. So it TICKLES ME TO NO END, as a long-time reader, seeing people calling Patch a Variant, honest to god. I love it. I LOVE IT. I can't begin to tell you how much I love it. I love that you all got to see him, in some way, through few seconds. A version of a character from a comic book I used to read almost 30 years ago. (Also, dude, that crucified Wolverine... It made me WEEP, it's a reference to a Marc Silvestri comic cover from 1989, and it's so beautiful. <3 <3 <3 I remember seeing those in the newsstands, and I remember how beautiful and scary I thought it was, and how curious I was. I didn't really had the money, and my mom sure wouldn't let that comic get anywhere close to me - I have a vagina, you know. I started reading Marvel the year after that and I bought a used copy of this particular comic later. Such a beautiful, haunting cover.)
#maycore#deadpool and wolverine#deadpool & wolverine#comics#marvel#marvel cinematic universe#Hugh Jackman was awesome#he's not short#but he sure understood the fucking assignment#the movie made me feel melancholic#time passes and it is so damn beautiful sometimes#except for my knee#my knee hurts a lot

The most beautiful thing in the entire Trolls franchise will always be Branch's character in the first movie when he wanted Poppy to understand that life isn't as perfect as she thinks but when she got betrayed and hurt and lost all hope he did everything to make her happy again because he wanted her to understand the pain but not experience it because she didn't deserve that and he didn't think that others have to suffer because he did.
#i know so many people who would look at her crying and say your problems are not that bad mine were worse she literally thought her kingdom#will be cooked alive#she got betrayed by a person she trusted and for whom she risked her life#she learned that some people never change#and no one knew what to do#but branch knew he had to heal her emotional damage first and let her know that he's there for her#so many people would tell her i told you so lol i was right you were wrong at least now you understand but he knew that she deserves better#because she didn't mean any harm#and because it's not her fault that he suffered#this is so important to show#because so many people want others to suffer too just because they did#so many people want to see optimists with broken spirits because life is bad#yes it is but don't hurt innocent person for something that has happened to you years ago#the writers understood the assignment#the writers fucking understood the assignment#and she loves him so much for it#trolls movie#trolls 2016#trolls branch#branch#Poppy#trolls poppy#trolls band together#trolls world tour#trolls holiday in harmony#trolls holiday#Broppy

oh god
fucking
having Mark Hamill while playing Trickster say to the younger Trickster "I am your father" and then the music that plays in the background following this declaration is a fucking "Imperial March" remix
the cheese is sooooooo strong
and I am eating up every single crumb of it
#like I said before these shows put in little snarky comment references#and every single time without fail I love it. I fucking love it.#it's so cheesy and cliche and overdone but I LOVE IT#Smallville did this ALL. THE. TIME.#and I loved it every time#and I continue to love it on The Flash (2014)#(btw YES they got Mark Hamill to reprise when he voiced Trickster for. idk. the JLA cartoon? some cartoon#but this time he plays Trickster live action. and it's great. he is CHEWING THE SCENERY UP.#he got the fucking memo he understood the assignment he is an ACTOR.)#also the guy playing the younger Trickster is fantastic#playing him like he's a evil little scamp twink I love it#speechie liveblogs#speecher speaks

just muttering to mutter cuz I find it fun to have meaningless opinions but having watched the trailer for The Fall of the House of Usher, I really just feel like everyone should sit down and read What Moves The Dead by T. Kingfisher instead
#it's not even long! it's less than a hundred pages! and it is fucking incredible!#WHERE IS THE EPONYMOUS FALLING HOUSE. THE POINT IS THAT THERE IS A LITERAL HOUSE FALLING ALONG WITH THE FAMILY.#to be clear this is not 'don't pit two bad bitches against each other' this is 'one of them understood the assignment and one did not'#I have adaptation opinions okay. and I AM fucking qualified to have them.#to be clear it doesn't look like a BAD show by any means! it just looks like...... every other mike flanagan show.#which isn't Bad it's just like. he's very much a one trick pony okay. he's very good at his one trick! but I need a little more than that#also like. it feels like otherwise rewatch succession? idk man. what are we doing here.#the variety plot summary reads like they decided to slap a poe name on it so the sacklers couldn't sue them for libel#and I'm like. the sacklers couldn't. and if they tried they would lose bro.#the more I think about this the more incensed I am about it#like this is a different concept entirely my dude!!!#stop trying to back up all of your shit with existing IP and own the fact that you're trying to do something original#it straight up feels like original content has become a crime in hollywood and I am SICK OF IT

the portrayal of social anxiety in dear evan hansen always bothered because like. okay. so the initial misunderstanding is actually 100% believable, just straight-up what 15- or 16-year-old me would have done in a situation where i keep getting shut down when i try to speak up. just go quiet and go along with whatever's going on. and from that point on, i would actively avoid everyone involved in the situation as much as i possibly can. just escape, get away, not deal with it again. and now i have a permanent debuff of anxiety and guilt forever. if i was forced to talk to the murphys again, i would quickly clarify what was actually going on, because at that point there's no easy escape, and trying to create a lie is infinitely more stressful than fessing up, apologizing, and freeing myself of the situation.
but evan isn't me, so let's say for him, crafting an elaborate lie is somehow less stressful than telling the truth. okay, i can buy that. what fucking baffles me, though, is how much he seemingly gets into it without feeling any anxiety at all about this horrible stressful situation he's got himself in? to the point that he goes off his meds because he says he doesn't need them anymore? you would think that hinging your entire social life on an elaborate lie that could be exposed at any moment would be the most stressful thing imaginable for someone with "getting a little bit embarrassed in front of other people makes me actually literally want to die" disorder. but no, he's just fine now lol
#i read the script for deh and it was almost impossible for me to get through because#even just thinking about the situation evan was in triggered so much anxiety in me#despite theoretically having social anxiety rep the plot is just uniquely evil to people who have it lol#like actual worst-case scenario shit all the way through#i was in high school when i read it and at that time my anxiety was so bad that not only could i barely talk to anyone just in general#i would also pretty regularly think about killing myself when i didn't complete my assignments#because literally not existing anymore seemed preferable to the embarassment of facing my teacher the next day#and admitting i didn't finish my homework. and then i realized that i had lots of stuff i actually wanted to do#and it would be fucking stupid to kill myself over homework but that's the level of anxiety we're talking about here#so i did not like the show but then all the criticism was like 'evan is an irredeemably awful person for all of this'#and i would feel terrible because i understood how he got into the situation and could see myself getting into it too#it was just unpleasant all around both the show and the reception hurt me

A tense anticlimax full of poorly-executed good intentions, punctuated by threats, with a questionable and ambiguous achievement: so the wedding had turned out to be like all the other work he had done for the Rebellion after all.
i’m working on a longer list of andor show-specific recs, but in the meantime, if you want something that in my opinion manages to absolutely sink it’s fucking teeth into the complicated brutality, humanity, and complicated, uneven human relationships of the show, as well as matter-of-face slice-of-life side of the sw universe it’s... somehow this rebelcaptain arranged marriage au from 2017. trust. this thing is 10k of people having sex and having repressed emotions and it feels fully contiguous with the andor writing style and flavour of the universe
--
“If this is what we fight for,” K-2 said mournfully, “we fight for the triumph of madness.”
Cassian adjusted his jacket, which had been tailored for another man. The Alliance’s funding ran to fighters, bribes, and base installations, not to salaries, and so when someone fell, their possessions went into an informal commissary, to be bought, begged, bartered for, or stolen at will or convenience. Never entirely without sentiment, though. They all had sewing skills rudimentary enough at least to stitch the necessary black X, the acknowledgement of whoever had come before them. Maybe it was bad luck, getting married in a dead man’s clothes.
#fic rec#scioscribe#andor#my recs#i've read it like... three times and am thinking of it again#i've kind of tried to keep andor-specific and rogue one/rebelcaptain stuff separate but this one bridges the two entities together so well#it's wild#full of: he would fucking say that dialogue#i love this for having totally star warsy space age completely illogical birth control. if the sw universe was to canonically have#birth control it would be as bizarre and illogical as in this fic. they understood the assignment#put this on the ambiguous list that is: fics i feel tony gilroy may have read

update <3
#in case anyone remembers the saga about the guy i’d been talking to for like a week then made out with then he promptly ghosted me despite#having given one of those ‘even if it doesnt work out i still want to be friends’ claims and all my additional choosing insanity over it#well. finally got one of my friends to go to the restaurant he works at with me#also keep in mind that that stuff happened in like november we literally havent spoken in months i am just choosing to continue being#insane bc i think i deserve to#anyway. so my friend and i go to the restaurant and unfortunately he isnt there#but before we leave i ask the waitress hey um do you happen to have a coworker named [redacted]#and she was like oh yeah is he a friend of yours? :) and my friend says no. and i say …. i know him#waitress can tell that i dont mean i know him in a good way too. she laughs and says it seems like theres a story here but she doesnt ask#anything further. instead she proceeds to tell me his fucking work schedule ajdjsjjfkf#she was like yeah he worked this morning he usually works thursday mornings then all weekend :)#so shes my new hero#idk if this guy has also gotten himself on bad terms with her or if she just knows what hes like or if she just understood the implication#of an irritated girl coming in asking after a guy bc she ‘knows him’#but she rly understood the assignment. anyway im in love with her now <3#OMG i almost forgot the best part. after telling me this she asks do you want me to give him a message and i saw yes i sure would. tell him#sam said hi :)#anyway i will be dragging my friend back there with me at the end of the month on a weekend to continue antagonizing this specific asshole#sam speaks
