Rebecca and Wanda are both important and both have a place in Billy's life. It does not need to be either/or. And yet, I've seen multiple instances of people using Rebecca (and even Agatha) as a means to belittle Wanda with the most bad faith readings and it's just not cool.

I can't imagine the fandom pulling this kind of thing with Cassie Lang, Scott Lang, and Jim Paxton. No one (outside of maybe [REDACTED] stan salt fic) would ever use the part Jim played in raising Cassie as a way to imply that Cassie doesn't need Scott and shouldn't care about whether he's in her life, nor would it be used as proof that Scott doesn't actually care about her and that he "abandoned" her because he cares more about "the greater good." No, instead the fandom consistently praises Scott and Cassie's bond as well as the Paxton-Langs as an ideal and healthy blended family. All the time they've lost is seen for the tragedy that it is, not as ammo.

I get that a lot of this discussion is likely rooted in some folks thinking that Wanda shouldn't/doesn't need to come back to the MCU, but man, there's gotta be a better way of expressing that.

no offense but luis, maggie, and jim are canonically more important to scott than they the van dynes (family/support system wise). maggie and jim paxton coparent cassie with scott, and supported him constantly while he was under house arrest. luis is scott’s BEST friend who roomed with him in prison, started a business with him, and lived with him for two years while scott was under house arrest. leaving them out of ant man 3 was genuinely disrespectful not only to them, but to scott. how hard would it have been to include a minor subplot or even one scene including them?

Cassie's Blended Family

[antvnger]

No no no no no, no fists fights. *shakes head quickly* Definitely not.

But argue? Sure yeah, we’ve argued multiple times over the years. Usually, like you said, we’re pretty cool, but we’re two different people with different ideas and opinions. We’re gonna argue.

That’s just part of being friends sometimes.

“Gramps…I thought we were cool! You snitched to my step dad?! How did you even catch me?”

@arandomnerdsrp358

"You're sure as hell I snitched on you. I don't care how cool you think I am, the moment you steal from me the cool factor turns off. Especially something as dangerous as the particles."

He crossed his arms. "I see everything Cassie. I have camera's in my lab AND the ants communicate with me. THEY snitched on you first." He groaned. "You're lucky I didn't tell Scott about this. Now I have ants looking around Paxton's house so I don't have to explain to his buddies why he's the size of a tick tac."

"Well...you're part of our family now Paxton. You better prepare yourself for it. The question isn't 'if you'll be shrunk' but 'when'. "Hank laughs. It was true.

Okay well since your family is pretty much made up of antmen now I'm curious, have you ever been shrunk before?

"no I haven't. I'm more... the voice of reason I hope... and moral support" he says shrugging a little bit.

My second go at making a trailer! This started out as basically an AMV set to Perturbator's "Humans Are Such Easy Prey" (itself an easy pairing with Terminator since it samples Reese's dialogue) but evolved into a more conventional trailer that initially puts you in Sarah's unwitting shoes before gradually shifting its tone.

Credits:

The Terminator, dir. James Cameron, 1984

"Humans Are Such Easy Prey," Perturbator, 2014

"Terminator Arrival/Reese Chased/Sarah on Motorbike," Brad Fiedel, 1984

"You Can't Do That," Tahnee Caine and Tryanglz, 1984

You guys know how Bill himself said that he was living his own Lizard King fantasy when playing Severen? The other day I was reading a Jenette Goldstein interview (I would link it but I'm messy and can't find it now) - she also said he put a lot of Jim Morrison into playing Severen. Part of this is simply aesthetic and physical I presume, but I wonder if there's something else in there, maybe on that self destructive impulse that Severen's got, he's basically a thrill seeker. I mean despite this we all agree Severen is a rock'n'roll god and he doesn't even need musical abilities or a band to be one 😂

But mayyyybe some of those dark impulses that Morrison had could be not so dissimilar to Severen's own antics - although he is mostly an outlaw who simply enjoys violence because he thinks it's fun.

Whiiiiich makes me wonder about his psychological traits and his peculiar relationship with Jesse (we know that Jesse turned him because he reminded him of his kid brother who died in the war... But I think Severen probably has daddy issues as well, hence his closeness to Jesse and ultimate need to have an authority figure he actually respects... Maybe I'm wrong but it's interesting to consider how their family dynamic works).

Amyway, it would have been so interesting to watch Bill playing Jim Morrison, a shame we never got to see that but ahhh we can dream

Hope smiled brightly at Paxton and stepped into the hug, laughing softly. "Hey, Jim! It's great to see you too- how's Maggie? And work, Scott tells me you got some big promotion?"
