Just remembered the movie Life Like... It's honestly kind of a frustrating experience for me cause it could have given us polyamory/OT3 but didn't. Well, not really at least. Some might consider it lowkey poly or poly adjacent. But it could have gone at least a little further.

Sure I only watched it cause it had Drew Van Acker hooking up with a guy, but still. It had some interesting themes about AI/robots/androids and love, similar to Chobits and some of Vision’s stories...

The way each of them interacted with the robot was interesting. The husband kinda just saw him as an object but that also sort of opened up the door to using him sexually, and then after he seems to realize he kinda cares? And the robot and the wife were just cute with a similar feel to ScarletVision. The couple has a bunch of issues but are trying to stick together and then there's this third person getting between them, which now reminds me of Akidrey and Makidrey.

And then, spoiler alert, it ends with a rather weird and kinda stupid plot twist where the robot was actually a human that was groomed/"brainwashed" to think he's a robot and Jarvis from Agent Carter has a whole business doing that????

And then the fake android sort of sacrifices himself for the couple who "owned" him and they... Name their child after him. That (a flashforward with the kid) is the actual final scene and is honestly so cheesy and cringy and... Meh? I mean, that's nice I guess but... Besides not getting what I wanted it's just also kinda weird in that it feels like it doesn't really have anything to say in what were supposed to be the main themes (the robot/android/AI vs humans and love between them stuff, since he's actually just a human)...

For a while now I've thought about writing a fic about it, where they would end up as a throuple and maybe even being a novelization of the movie but I really doubt I will cause I'm not actually that passionate about it and literally no one would read it lol.

Seeing Logan in the TVA makes me laugh so hard for some reason? Like I know he’s lived to see technology evolve and stuff, but there’s something so funny about a guy from the 1800s standing in some kind of retro-futuristic timey wimey agency to me. Man is confused as hell.

like what da hell is a polar bear doin in arlington texas

#ik hes done odder stuff but like i just find this dude placed in random situations funny #i actually need to hear his thoughts during this entire experience #he was just in a bar a second ago #and now hes standing in some kind of interdimensional corporate office thingie #and now hes got pruned and sent to an interdimensional trash can #this old man is having the weirdest three days of his life #did i post this just for logans silly :( face #yes yes i did #love the amount of confused as hell faces logan makes in this movie #deadpool & wolverine #deadpool and wolverine #deadpool x wolverine #wolverine #logan howlett #hugh jackman #TVA #deadpool 3 #worst wolverine #poolverine

main take aways from Halloween (1978) rewatch:

michael myers is canonically 21??? this bitch should be at the club

*sees tiddies* ***MURDEROUS RAMPAGE NOISES***

that's it that's the movie

outside of the fact that everyone who has sex is murdered by the narrative, this is a surprisingly chill portrayal of female sexuality? these teen girls are horny and actively enjoying Getting It On with their boytoys. no pushy boyfriends sneaking in through their bedroom windows--these ladies are taking the initiative to sneak out and GET SOME. one of them gets laid and then immediately orders her boyfriend to get her a beer. (yes she gets Slashered soon afterward, but so does the boyfriend so honestly, gender equality.) yes the Final Girl is the only one not having sex, but she's not bullied for that, nor are her friends slut shamed except possibly by being murdered by the narrative

actually the only character who is shown being morally condemned on-screen is michael myers. specifically FOR his violent overreaction to other people's sex lives. (people he is spying on). metaphorically, the villain is American Puritanism sticking its judgy nose into other people's business.

aka Michael Myers Is A Republican

but actually the real villain is the doctor. guy's a judgemental, shaming, pathologizing asshole. and he's been in charge of michael's care since he was SIX YEARS OLD? kid never had a chance. i'd go on a killing spree too

also the parents. where are the parents? it's halloween night and all the teenage girls are home babysitting their younger siblings? come to think of it, michael's first victim was his own older sister, whom he killed while she was babysitting him. teen girls are really shouldering a labour burden here. maybe parentification is the true villain

side note: mike commits his first murder wearing a clown costume...which is never referenced again? his 'iconic' costume is a generic mask and wig and jumpsuit, when we coulda had a Killer Clown Michael Myers??? travesty

i like how the Final Girl and her friend casually smoke weed in her car. yeah she's an honor student and her friend is the sheriff's daughter. yeah they smoke weed. so what it's 1978

(to reiterate, mike is 21 and should be at the club. im not saying he shouldn't be rampaging, im saying it's sad that he broke out, tasted freedom for the first time in his life, and immediately snuck back into his childhood home to go rampaging. let's have a remake where he goes to a nightclub and has a few beers. maybe some slutty dancing. then rampage)

oh no he's hot

#HALLOWEEN #halloween the movie #michael myers #do you think he's a mike? mikey? to his friends? if slashers had friends?#i'll be honest i was expecting this movie to be way more of a bitch to its female characters #i mean yeah they died but so did some dudes #there's just a lack of cattiness compared to the way most later movies portrayed teenage girls idk #yeah the Final Girl is a Virgin and a Bookworm. but there's no bullying or any strong sense that's she's morally superior to everyone else #mostly she AND the other girls feel a bit sorry for her lack of a social life. one even tries to set her up with a date to the school dance #solidarity! trying to get your nerd friend laid!#overall it's just teenagers being teenagers and then a slasher comes in and ruins everything with his Lack Of Chill #like yeah dude sometimes teenagers have sex. get over it #also something to be said about how while the girl who survives is the one who isn't sexually active and dresses conservatively...#ultimately those things aren't ENOUGH to prevent her from being targeted #you could say that the other girls 'provoked' the villain (the same way women irl are so often accused of provoking their attackers)#but ultimately that doesn't keep the Final Girl safe. it just delays the inevitable.#because violent men never need excuses. no matter how eager society is to provide them.#ultimately she is at the mercy of the same violent whims because it was never her behavior that invited the violence.#gendered violence doesn't need an invitation.#also she doesn't save herself the doctor saves her #it's not her actions or choices that put her in danger OR save her from it--once again it is the whim of a man #no this wasn't intended to be a feminist movie it's just fun how you could argue it that way
