I just Googled something about Thunderbolts* to find out why they did that and eeeeooouuuuggghh

What the fuck do you mean "to raise the stakes"??? You advertised her as a big part of the film in your summary and had her in the poster. Get the fuck over yourselves. I was excited to see her again and in the first 20 minutes, you kill her within 2 minutes of her finally appearing and you torch the room with the body in about 5 minutes later. This was not "raising the stakes", this was "we don't give a fuck about this character anymore and we're not even going to try"

People not liking her is not an excuse when Black Widow fumbled her first. This was your chance to make people care, and your extra time developing this during the strikes took you down this path? Get the fuck over yourselves. Killing her later was even an option and they thought her death being later would hang over the movie. Why? Because we actually got some time with her while she wasn't mind controlled?

If you wanted to raise the stakes, HAVE MEMBERS OF THE GANG GET FUCKING INJURED AND REALISE THEY WOULD NEED TO TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER TO GET SHIT DONE

My fucking god

I already hated Marvel but fuck this. It was a great movie, a brilliant one, but this one choice dragged it down immensely.

Great message. Fuck this choice though.

Now is the time for confessions.... I did not like the 2002 Red Dragon movie and actually consider it a bad adaptation (and a mid movie)....

So sorry to Edward Norton's Will Graham, he was cute, but he was not my Will Graham 😞

🔥 - unpopular opinion about cakes?

oh yeah "fresh cakes" aren't a thing for a bakery, like realistically if you want a fully decorated cake you can't do it on a cake that had been baked the same day

you want a good fucking cake? you freeze it

pop it out of the pan when it's still warm NOT HOT and wrap it up in cling/plastic wrap and freeze that shit

what it does? it traps in moisture (so you don't need to use simple syrup but that's a different rant) and it's easier to handle in general and frost and decorate

so don't go into a bakery and ask for a fresh cake

send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion (+ topic)

Always nice when I'm sat in the office and a friend comes over and asks where was I on Saturday...i was confused, thinking I'd forgot something….turns out friends from my old team had a get together and didn't invite me 🙃🙃 maybe it was an accident but its still got to me but it is what it is I guess! Adds to the flat mood I'm in today but as always it a chance to take a negative and turn it positive!

Shit happens and no point in holding a grudge against them, just now know where I stand with them in future! Can't wait to get out of work, head home and just blast my music!

Y’all should never doubt me I’ve guessed so many things for d20 correctly in the past several months

The small dick energy of this one guy in the IT department at my work is laughable. He can’t stand it when I’m in a meeting and I challenge him on anything digital related.

What they don't tell you about writing is that as you write, you discover scenes and entire plots that you hadn't accounted for that need to be written. So you can spend two hours writing and editing only to realise you're further away from the finish line than you thought you were when you started

Do people care if u get inspired by other polls.... Anyway the red/blue poll I see going around is nice but I found that I associate my friends with all sorts of colors so. here

They seem like the kind of guys who would keep count

elaborating on this hc

[inkskinned]

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.
