astra's apartment dominic, astra, felix (and jakob if he wanna)

it's funny how, ever since his life changed, the wards still feels under his skin. dom avoids going there for that exact reason, like it lingers enough already but grows even stronger after an hour or two in the metal streets. but, he had a whole life here. friends. as soon as the apartment door opens, dominic is hit with the familiar scent that seems to be astra's trademark. incense and the faint hint of spice. as soon as their eyes meet, he flashes a quick grin. 'felix said he wanted to smoke a lil somethin' and play some mag-league.' he explains his sudden appearance, giving a little ta-da shrug for being right there on her doorstep. not that she cares. dom is long since used to astra's fluidity to life. even her own home. while he doesn't dabble anywhere near as much as he used to, a little spice never hurt someone. at least, not when smoked.

dom steps inside, seeing a few other faces he doesn't recognize before he finds the familiar one of felix. and he's certain the banging of pots and pans is jakob, attempting to make food. 'brought the shit too, by the way.' dom quickly adds, lifting the box in his hands of mod equipment. 'pretty sure you and felix are gonna get your fuckin' birth charts on each other soon enough.' he quips, one arm lifting for a brief cuddle of astra. she seems to be slipping away every time he sees her, so does felix. but dom shows this affection by moving from astra to rough his knuckles against his friend's cheekbone. 'or genitals. had that the other day. he wanted his wife's pussy in his elbow crease. not kidding. please don't do that to me.' he grins as he sits beside felix, plonking down the box, then flipping his head back to catch sight of astra. 'sure it's aesthetically pleasing and everythin' astie, but-' he coughs, glancing to felix. 'not gonna dig a hole. i'm done. let's smoke.' @rviner

Moments in “Fast X” that I felt was bizarre even for this franchise (THIS IS ALL SPOILERS):

1) Pete Davidson randomly shows up just to be Pete Davidson.

2) Jason Momoa’s performance felt like they just told him to act like Hisoka from Hunter x Hunter. Or just a Jojo villain in general.

3) Letty and Cipher get sent to Antarctica, where Gisele just shows up at the end in a submarine despite clearly dying in the 6th one. That’s LITERALLY how the movie ended.

4) They got Alan Ritchson (the guy from Reacher) to play a buff CIA agent who hates barbecues and families. Also, maybe this is just me, but I felt like he was also Jason Momoa’s love interest? I just got the vibes.

5) The weird shot of the camera following Vin Diesel’s muscles which led into the car’s engines.

6) There was a 15-minute sequence where they chased a nuclear bomb that was rolling around the streets of Rome.

7) John Cena using three tequila bottles to power his mini plane.

8) Tyrese taped millions of dollars on his shirt and was just carrying that around the whole movie.

9) Rita Moreno was randomly there as Vin Diesel’s grandma.

10, EDIT) I forgot one other moment. Because F9 retconned Tokyo Drift, there was a sequence where the Agents of SHIELD (I know they’re the “Agency”, but it was basically Marvel’s SHIELD) are reviewing footage of their previous missions. One mission featured clips from Tokyo Drift.

Every time I see a new retcon from the Fast & the Furious franchise happen (especially in 8, 9 and now 10) I'm always like...

"...Letty's ALIVE?

"...there was a BABY?"

"...there was a BROTHER?"

"...Han's ALIVE?"

"...there was an ABUELA!!"

... THE WHOLE TIME?!!

Dominic and Jakob love their dad. JD desperately wishes he did not have children.

Fast X

[ultrahpfan5blog]

Fast X is................ surprisingly not terrible

I watched Fast X this weekend, with a lot of apprehension. I am a fan of this franchise overall, having enjoyed almost all the movies to some extent or another, be it as a B movie guilty pleasure, point break rip off, or balls to walls bananas action movie. From Fast Five to Furious 7 is where the series peaked in my opinion. I think they managed to blend action, humor, and surprising amounts of heart. Since Paul Walker's demise though, the series has lot some of that heart. I think tilting far too much into Dom as a messiah of sorts who can pull of ridiculous superheroics. The Fate of the Furious was meh, but still had Johnson and Statham who provided a lot of the movie's best scenes. F9 is where the series came off the rails for me. I couldn't even enjoy it on a guilty pleasure level. So I was apprehensive about this film, but it turned out to be....... not bad.

Lets be clear, this isn't a good film. It isn't even really a complete film. Its either half a story or a third of a story, depending on whether this becomes a trilogy or not. But it tones down the action from jump the shark stuff of F9 to more palatable bonkers stuff from the previous 4 films. There is ridiculous mayhem in this movie, but not unpalatably so. The thing is that it is only part of a story. It isn't like Infinity War, which felt like a conclusive end to Thanos' mission. I genuinely feels abruptly cut on a big cliffhanger. There are like 4 separate story tracks that are happening simultaneously and there are cameos thrown in left, right, and center. Statham shows up for an abrupt action scene and then leaves, Helen Mirren shows up for one scene, Brie Larson has like 4 scenes total, Charlize Theron has like 3-4 scenes total. On top of that we have Alan Ritchson who joins the mix, with a returning cameo from Scott Eastwood. Jordana Brewster has like 1-2 scenes, and we also have Elena's sister inexplicably. So it is overwhelming and exhausting to keep track of all these characters, with the main cast also getting reduced screen time as a result. But the action sequences are great. I never got bored of the movie, which did happen with F9. And on top of that is Jason Momoa, who is the lifeblood of this film. He clearly knows the film he's in and he's playing to the gallery completely and he adds an additional boost of energy to the film. Thankfully, he has a fair amount of screen time and also has some genuine menace, beneath the theatrics. I'll be honest, at this point, Dom is probably my least favorite character. Vin Diesel plays him a bit too self-seriously and mumbles through his dialogue. He's better here than he was in the last 2 films, but he also has less screen time comparatively, due to the split focus. John Cena is surprisingly good here, this time wisely playing to his strengths. He is much more palatable as uncle goofball, who is a badass, then as the vengeful villain he was in the previous movie. The scenes with him and little B are pretty fun. They seemingly kill him off, but I hope he is alive. Given how Han and Giselle are inexplicably alive, I wouldn't it past Mr. Nobody to come out of nowhere and having saved him. The track with Han, Roman, Tej, and Ramsey kind of flounders around a bit because it literally only consists of them bickering and trying to get to a location. The stuff with Letty and Cipher is fairly fun. The fight scene between the two of them is a highlight of the movie.

Anyways, the performances are all on par. All the returning cast members know their individual roles quite well. Jason Momoa is a clear standout in the cast. Seeing Charlize Theron kick some ass in her brief role is pretty great. I do think this film overall raised my enthusiasm for the next film, but it is an overwhelming watch. It is definitely not going to convert anyone to a fan, but if anyone likes these movies, they will continue to enjoy this one. The mid credit scene, signaling Hobbs' return is pretty cool. Louis Letterier does a solid job with the action. A 6/10.

Would have liked to see a race with the whole team, plus Sean and Jakob

(*Ramsey only started driving so her skills isn't up to the same level as the rest of these guys)

[jodielandons]

This is my fast and furious theory no one asked for: I think that Dom and Mia have different moms. Jakob and Mia have the same mom, but different dads. So he’s not related to Dom by blood which explains why he’s white. The Toretto dad adopted Jakob when he got with Mia’s mom, so they all have the same last name. That’s what I think!

[rowinablx]

I had a headcannon!!! Mia telling Dom "How do you say goodbye to your only brother" was what Dom said to her when deciding to kick Jakob out of LA

[ffmaschine]

[giveamadeuschohisownmovie]

Which phase of “Fast and Furious” would you say is your favorite?

1) The “we’re just a series about fast cars and racing” phase (1, 2, Tokyo Drift)

2) The “we’re tired of racing, so let’s bring in the Rock and focus on regular action movie stuff” phase (4, 5, 6)

3) The “Vin Diesel watched all the Captain America/Mission Impossible movies and wants to do that in his own franchise” phase (7, 8, 9, Hobbs and Shaw)

4) The “Vin Diesel watched Infinity War/Endgame/the Arrowverse’s Crisis on Infinite Earths and wants to do that in his own franchise” phase (10, and I’m assuming 11 and 12. I know Vin said they’re stopping at 11, but he said that he’s thinking about doing a 12th)

[thena0315]

An AU where these 12 people compete in a race together on an actual race track, I wonder what place each driver would be at?
