Do you think Hoppers actually dead though?
O K A Y.
I’ve been looking for an excuse to pull all of this together so here we go! NO Anon, I do not think that Chief James Hopper has gone and died on us. There’s no REAL evidence (there are easter eggs though) however and the Duffer Brothers could still pull the rug out from under us but hey.
No I do not believe that Hopper is dead. Although some things can be interpreted as pretty final and if the Duffers really kill him off I will never watch this show again, because it’s horrifically SHITTY writing and im already super tired of that this year lmao.
One - There is no body? We were never showed a body or what’s left of one? We have seen bodies for Benny, Barb, Bob and Billy (and even people who were in it for like 5 minutes). THEY EVEN PRODUCED A FAKE WILL WHEN THEY WANTED US TO THINK HE WAS DEAD. THEY AREN’T AGAINST SHOWING US BODIES!!! Which brings me to my next point!
Two - They also aren’t against to showing us death. Lots of gory detailing death, WHOEVER it is. Billy died horrifically but you saw it even though hes a kid. Bob got ripped to shreds. And even those dudes at the beginning of S3 died horribly? They still showed it. Hopper’s death??? It cuts away. You see NOTHING. AT. ALL. There aren’t even any remnants OF a body where he was standing, and Joyce goes down there and LOOKS. Surely shed find something? Gooey grossness like the bodies at the beginning? Nope. You could argue that they’d be against showing us the death of a beloved hero and a main character but. Again. Bob was beloved and arguably one of the sweetest characters in the show and he was ripped to bits in front of us and Joyce. Billy was a kid for all intents and purposes, still he died a horrible death. Not one bit of that was cut away.
Three - If you look in the shots hes not on the platform when the thing explodes????? like at all? Either that’s badly shot or its done deliberately because he’s just not there anymore? There’s the portal to the Upside Down and you can see a ladder in the shot too, so maybe he either went into the Upside Down or down the ladder and got caught by the russians?? We just don’t know.
Four - We see the devastated Eleven and the aftermath of what happened at Star Court. Then it jumps to three months later? Okay, odd that were not shown anymore of the grieving or the funeral. Then of course Eleven read the SPEECH. Think about the end of it specifically and about LEAVING THE DOOR OPEN 3 INCHES!! You can see from one of the final shots of Star Court that the gates not CLOSED. It was healing but it never fully closes. So Hopper could be in the Upside Down, or travelled through it to Russia on the other end?? Who knows. Point is, they included this line at the end for a reason. Whether the reason is that hes actually dead and they’re just being profound or that its a hint about his fate, its meaningful.
Five - During the ending the song HEROES by Peter Gabriel plays, this is the same song that was placed over them finding Wills fake body, and after all the goodbyes and the ‘speech’ where it ends with “keep the door open three inches” well. Come on.
Six - Then it cuts to Russia and you hear the “not the american” line, and Hopper was called “the American” throughout the series by that Russian baddie. Should I start waving Red Flags here or???? Then again, a lot of people are saying this could be Brenner. Okay I 100% get your logic Im with ya, and for a few days I’ve also thought it could be Brenner. But here’s the thing. Elevens powers. Brenner makes her use them to spy on a russian man in Season 1. Hinting that there’s more going on here than just super powers, kids and other dimensions. Don’t forget that in the 80s the world was in the grip of the Cold War, and things would have started reaching a boiling point for this long before 1985 when it ‘officially’ began. We were never given any answers about why Brenner was spying on this man, or even Russia. Or even if he WAS spying for the US. Nothing, it’s a throwaway scene. Or IS IT? Russians show up in Season Three somehow knowing about the Upside Down, having failed at their own attempts to open a gate in Russia. They somehow know that its Hawkins they need to be in to successfully open their gate and potentially get monsters to use, oh I don’t know, in a WAR???? How would they have known any of this information to begin with?? Oh I wonder. We were told all about Brenner being alive and out there in season two (and we were never told WHERE and this is not referenced again), but as far as I can remember Eleven has never shared this with anyone else, even though it’s completely RELEVANT information. And as far as I can remember (its been a hell of an emotional few days) I dont think were given any explanation about how the Russians knew about the Upside Down, Hawkins or anything. So maybe the reason they knew is BECAUSE BRENNER is the one giving them their directives? Because hes worked for THEM this whole time???
Seven - Interestingly also Eleven lost her powers? JEEZ ISN’T THAT CONVENIENT!!! Because the first thing shed use them for is to look for Hopper even if she was told he was dead. Shed look, 100% for the man who saved her, gave her a home, loved her, worried for her, cared for her like she was his goddamn OWN. Conveniently though now SHE CANT??? Interesting.
Eight - And now. There’s the voicemail message. In one of the episodes (my brains so fried I cant remember which one sorry) Murrays gives out his landline number, and when you call it you can hear him give a message to Joyce. You can listen to it here. You can tell this is after season three, because why would he talk to Joyce Byers? Surely if he was trying to reach someone for information it would be Hopper? “I have an update, its best if we speak in person" an update??? About what??? Why is he coercing with joyce??? Notice how he says “it’s not good or bad but its SOMETHING” and then says “we’ll talk about it in person” (or something like that) why would he be calling joyce with an ‘update’?????????? AND ON WHAT EXACTLY?? INTERESTING!!
Nine - Theres this interview with the cast specifically ABOUT Hopper, the death and the post credits scene. And I love David Harbour but, you cannot lie for shit my angel.
Ten - Millie has said in an interview “ Her dads gone, or so she thinks” COME ON.
Eleven - Again WE KNOW DAVID HARBOUR IS LIKE THE MARK RUFFALO OF STRANGER THINGS. And hes bad at keeping shit to himself. Hes already told us at the end of last YEAR, literally a month after they finished filming season three that the Duffers have told him the ending to the series as a whole. Why would any creator do this for a man they have effectively just fired, because his character died? Why would they tell him? They wouldn’t.
Tweleve - Again. David Harbour, bless his heart, I think its trying to give us HINTS and bread crumbs to follow. Last week he changed his instagram photo from Hopper in S1 to the number 6. Odd. Today he changed it to the number one :
Twelve continued - Basically if he changed it to an 8 next, we know hes trying to hint at Murrays voicemail message and this is a clue for Hopper. Because why else would he bother?
Thirteen - Theres also this screenshot from Cara Buonos instagram where she literally SAYS about him being in Kamchatka, and uses the Russian word for PRISON. (Of course this could just be a joke between the actors
Fourteen - Theres also the fact, which is not evidence mind you, that its incredibly shitty writing to have both the men that Joyce Byers loved/loves to die in front of her? And actually having her put the action in motion that kills the man she loves? No. I wont accept that. And weve been shown her non willingness to believe in peoples death, everyone and their mothers told her Will was dead and she was being crazy. Did she listen? No. And she got her boy back. Will she think once she has a clear head that Hoppers dead? Maybe. Which is why she asks Murray to investigate. Hence the Voicemail Message.
Fifteen - Its also incredibly shitty and hard to swallow, for Elevens sake too. I mentioned already how much she loves Hopper and finally got a true parent in him. Do you honestly think they’d put her through all of that just to lose him NOW? Like i said, its convienent how shes lost her powers at this very crucial moment.
Sixteen - DAVID. HARBOURS. BEARD. RIGHT. NOW.
And SEVENTEEN -Just in case y’all are having trouble with any of that it looks like David Harbour has let sorta slip (my god I fucking ADORE THIS MAN LET ME TELL YOU). I dont know how reliable this is mind you because its not coming from a BIG source, but HERE he hints at knowing who the American is, after telling everyone else (see the interview above ^^) that he doesnt know and he cant say anything.
‘During an interview with David Harbour, I attempted to delicately get around the fate of Jim Hopper. Harbour, however, came right out and gave it to me straight. “This is the question I’m going to have to dance around–” I began, only for Harbour to interrupt me and ask, “The ending?” “Right,” I said. “Is there a way you can talk about the future of Hopper without…” I trailed off here, only for Harbour to ask: “Well, did you see the post-credits scene?”I had, of course. And so I straight-up asked: is that Hopper behind the door? According to Harbour, that’s the most likely scenario. Throughout the season, the main Russian baddie refers to Hopper as “the American”, and having another Russian refer to the mysterious prisoner in the same way was the big giveaway.Of course, knowing that Hopper is alive, and knowing how he survived and ended up in Russia, are two different things. We’ll have to wait for season 4 to get that answer. And we’ll have to wait to see how things unfold from there. Will a big chunk of season 4 involve Hopper escaping that Russian base, and trying to get back to America? Time will tell. One thing is clear: Hopper still has a long journey ahead of him; not just physically, but emotionally.’
SO, basically Jim Hopper has not left us, Joyce or Eleven. And if the Duffer Brothers have done all this to screw with us, well. Im not gonna be responsible for what I do.
I FEEL JIM HOPPER IN THIS RUSSIAN PRISON TONIGHT!!!
THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK!!!!!!!!

They really don't say anything to Scarlett Johansson. She may be the star of "Black Widow", but that doesn't mean that she has any idea when the movie trailer will be released. You may remember that we had a first surprise glimpse of "Black Widow" earlier this week. And when we say early, we mean early. Tuesday, our story was published just before 2 a.m. The trailer fell late Monday without fanfare or advance warning, and Johansson told Stephen Colbert Thursday evening that even she didn't know it was going to happen. "I woke up and received a text from Chris Evans saying," The trailer is superb. "I don't know what he was doing at 5 a.m. It's another story. Yeah, getting up, of course," she said, responding to Colbert's joke. haven't said it! They hide everything from me. " Also read: 'Black Widow': Natasha Romanoff has a family reunion and kicks ass in the first trailer for Marvel Prequel (Video) Johansson was on "The Late Show" to promote "Marriage Story", which she performed with Adam Driver, aka Kylo Ren from the "Star Wars" trilogy. So Colbert asked if she had any idea who would win a fight between Kylo and Natasha. She didn't have a lot of response, nor about the details she was allowed to say about "Black Widow", other than the fact that it was between "Captain America: Civil War" and "Avengers: Infinity War ". Johansson says the film is a "homecoming" in which Natasha must now face some of her guilt over the things she did before becoming revenge. However, fans wondered why a solo film, Black Widow is not an origin story that goes back to its training beginnings in Russia, and she explained why this story was better. "I could never have made this film 10 years ago when we had just started our journey with Marvel. It’s a film that speaks so much… the character informed this film. My trip with Natasha informed this film. She’s a character who’s a fully recognized woman. It has a complexity that it is delicious, "said Johansson. "Not to say it would have been something else or totally entertaining in 10 years, but we can do things that are good." Also read: Review of the film 'Marriage Story': Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver split up in the devastating drama of Noah Baumbach Colbert also had another theory to direct by her: that it was Johansson's last go-around as "Black Widow". Here is why: it is his eighth appearance because the character and the spiders have eight legs. Can't it be a coincidence? Of course, Stephen. Check out Johansson's appearance on CBS "The Late Show" above. All 23 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies ranked, from worst to best (Photos) No one on the Internet wants to talk about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it's something we simply can't continue to ignore. But seriously: even if this seemingly unstoppable franchise has rabid fans around the world, nobody can agree on those they prefer (or at least, for that matter). TheWrap film editor-in-chief Alonso Duralde gets into the subject - and no, he's not paid by anyone at Disney to love (or hate, for that matter) any of these films. wonder 23. "The Incredible Hulk" (2008) Released just five years after Ang Lee's "Hulk", this second attempt to make a man a leader in the great green creature radiated by Gamma proved just as disappointing. If we've learned anything from the Avengers movies, it's that Bruce Banner works best when he's a supporting character (and when he's played by Mark Ruffalo). wonder 22. "Ant-Man" (2015) Although this film deserves to be rewarded for not having put the fate of humanity at stake - the stakes are more than the size of a child's train - the stabs to the humor of the film seem to be overestimated , and little natural charm from Paul Rudd comes to the fore in what should be a breezy caper. We can only wonder what the original version of Edgar Wright might have looked like. Disney / Marvel 21. "Thor" (2011) Director Kenneth Branagh tackles the the-and-thou of Asgard's segments, but the little town where the pinnacle is played out has been one of the most cheesy fake towns on the screen since the terrible movie "Supergirl" in years 80. On the positive side, actor Chris Hemsworth shows a scintillating spirit in this adventure of the god of thunder, coupled with an impressive musculature. wonder 20. "Iron Man 2" (2010) The best MCU movies do a good job of distracting you from all the setup of future franchise entries; this one offers so much empire building that it might as well have a "Pardon Our Dust" sign on it. Still, Scarlett Johansson's first appearance as Black Widow, dispatching opponents down the hall, made an unforgettable impression. Disney / Marvel 19. "Captain America: the first avenger" (2011) Just like he did in "The Rocketeer", director Joe Johnston excels at portraying the brilliance of the 1940s, although the characters are not as vivid as the USO sparrow. But fear not, true believers - the screen adventures of Cap have improved a lot in his later solo and team movies. wonder 18. "Thor: The Dark World" (2013) Firmly average, yes, but an improvement over its predecessor and a good time, skillfully balancing superheroes, second bananas, entertaining villains and the occasional killer one-liner. In no way a cornerstone of the MCU, but this one, mainly, works. Disney / Marvel 17. "Iron Man 3" (2013) Director and co-writer Shane Black doesn't always have the narrowest understanding of history - what is the infamous Extremis still doing, and why? - but he shows his skill in witty jokes (which Robert Downey, Jr. can make within an inch of his life) and breathtaking action (a flight rescue of a dozen passengers who have just fallen from Air Force One). Disney / Marvel 16. "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" (2015) It's always fun when the group comes together, but it's also hard to rediscover the magic of this first time. This sequel offers a lot of excitement and banter scripted by Joss Whedon, but it's also a bit overloaded with characters and support setups for the next MCU movie series. Both fans and enemies of superhero movies can find arguments for their arguments here. Disney / Marvel 15. "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" (2017) The group is back together, and they are as hilarious as when they first came out, but overall, this sequel gives the impression that it is only vamping (entertaining) until the next major change of the intrigue in the MCU. Kurt Russell appears as Ego the Living Planet, who claims to be the long-lost father of Peter Quill / Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), and although the film is more concerned with character and emotion than intrigue , not all the movement the moments ring true. Disney / Marvel 14. Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) This sequel has a better idea of his own stupidity than his predecessor, as Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and The Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) flee the Feds, fight the phased-in ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) and thwart plans of a gangster (Walton Goggins), while planning a rescue of the mother of The Wasp (Michelle Pfeiffer) from another dimension. Feels more Disney - in the sense of Kurt-Russell-as-Dexter-Riley - than Marvel, but still fun. Disney / Marvel 13. Captain Marvel (2019) Both the personal development and the retro of the 1990s are played with a fairly heavy hand, but it's a lot of fun to have here, Brie Larson's heroine, both bubbling and haunted - nothing like amnesia to spice up another story of origin - to one of the biggest feline bananas in the history of cinema. 12. "Avengers: Infinity War" (2018) It's a little difficult to judge this one on its own merits, because it is clearly a half-film; we will not really know how this film will materialize until we have the sequel. But in the meantime, he does a pretty impressive job of juggling some 25 major MCU characters and keeping his sense of humor even in the face of mass destruction (and intense scenes involving torture and genocide). Disney / Marvel 11. "Avengers: Endgame" (2019) You get all the T-crossing and I-dotting required at this point in the game, but the capper for the first piece of the MCU saga is a mostly satisfying season finale that offers rare moments of catharsis among moments of entertaining characters. which will cause laughter and maybe even a few tears. Disney / Marvel 10. "Spider-Man: Far From Home" (2019) This second outing from director Jon Watts and leader Tom Holland maintains the lark tone and focus on the characters that make these films feel like such a unique corner of the MCU. This time, the post-snap (or "blip", as the film says) Peter Parker and his friends are heading to Europe in a film that looks like a road comedy that sometimes blows up some superheroes. Disney / Marvel 9. "Thor: Ragnarok" (2017) Director Taika Waititi ("Hunt for the Wilderpeople") strikes a delicate balance between breathless action and the fate of the universe on the one hand and ironic stupidity and catchy jokes on the other. Fortunately, he has Chris Hemsworth, who excels in both, surrounded by spirit like Tom Hiddleston, Mark Ruffalo and franchise beginners Tessa Thompson, Jeff Goldblum and a glorious Cate Blanchett. Disney / Marvel 8. "Captain America: Civil War" (2016) The plot and the pace aren't as tight as in "Winter Soldier", but if you're looking for somber human conflict and exciting superhero-on-superhero action, this movie does a lot of good as "Batman v. Superman : Dawn of Justice "did wrong. Disney / Marvel 7. "Iron Man" (2008) It all starts here - a story of superhero origins for literalists who cannot hide behind explosive planets or radioactive spiders. Jon Favreau, then most famous for directing "Elf" and writing and co-starring in "Swingers", seemed a strange choice for the material, but he knows how to give us the two characters (played by Downey and Gwyneth Paltrow with plume) and ka-blam. wonder 6. "Black Panther" (2018) While the titular African superhero king of Chadwick Boseman takes something from a back seat to a troika of fascinating female characters - played by Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira and Letitia Wright - the film nevertheless overflows with excitement and of a rich history. (And Michael B. Jordan's Killmonger ranks among the franchise's biggest villains.) Disney / Marvel 5. "Spider-Man: Homecoming" (2017) Less motivated by guilt and haunted than previous versions of the character (on the page or screen), Tom Holland's Spider-Man has enough on his plate to manage his superhero growing pains. Hungry to join The Avengers but still struggling with everything he has to learn - he's only 15 years old after all - our hero faces the evil blue collar The Vulture (well Michael Keaton, Birdman) in a funny adventure all by presenting real challenges, formidable characterizations and a wonderfully detailed cast. (You must love a teen movie that works for Zendaya, Tony Revolori, Abraham Attah and Josie Totah, as well as scene-robber newcomer Jacob Batalon.) Sony / Marvel 4. "Doctor Strange" (2016) It would be too easy to ridicule the master of the mystical arts on the big screen, but director Scott Derrickson and his team somehow gave us a version of the surgeon-turned-magician, Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), who seems at ease in the real world, rubbing shoulders with the Avengers and crossing tripping and dazzling dimensions where no one else could go. 3. "Guardians of the Galaxy" (2014) Pleasant, casual and steeped in the super hits of the 70s, this comic adventure is something of an outlier - both tonal and geographic - in the Marvel universe. Yet whether Rocket Raccoon and Black Widow intersect or not, this saga that covers the stars reminded us that there is more than one way to tell a story about superheroes. Disney / Marvel 2. "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" (2014) Aggressive patriotism meets anti-government paranoia in this fascinating tale that pits the captain against labyrinthine plots. It also turns out that Steve Rogers is much more interesting in time travel in the 2000s than firmly at home in the 1940s. And you will believe that the Falcon can fly. Disney / Marvel 1. "The Avengers" (2012) Still the gold standard of the MCU, this film reveals that Joss Whedon gets comics in their DNA, in the same way that Steven Spielberg and George Lucas were fluent in the language of serials in the "Indiana Jones" movies. Putting all of these heroes in one room (or helicopter, anyway) has produced tremendous results, although the success of the film has led to the all-superhero-all-time ethos of contemporary Hollywood. Disney / Marvel Previous slide Next slide TheWrap reviewer Alonso Duralde orders the MCU, including "Spider-Man: Far From Home" No one on the Internet wants to talk about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it's something we simply can't continue to ignore. But seriously: even if this seemingly unstoppable franchise has rabid fans around the world, nobody can agree on those they prefer (or at least, for that matter).

Bad Questions, Good Answers
Author note: If anyone has any ideas to make this go further message me.
Warning: Language one bad word near the end.
PS: Message me if you want this as a series.
Today is the first day of the week press release for Avengers: Infinity War. Tilly Hawthorne, actress and the woman responsible for some interesting characters has been casted as Jennifer Walters, aka She-Hulk. During the filming of Infinity War part 1 she was also in post-production for She-Hulk television show for Netflix. This week of interviews is press for both events so it is vital that this goes well. Her personal assistant, A meets her in the green room with a cup of Earl Grey and a smuggled out of London packet of raspberry Jammie Dodgers.
“Today’s the day. Excited or nervous.” A asks handing over the mug.
“A little bit of both.”
“You shouldn’t be. You’re smart, funny, also you have the biggest dimples in the world just flash those things with a smile and you’ll be fine.”
“I’ve read over the folder of everything I can’t say about five times just so I don’t let anything slip.”
“That’s good, besides this will be easy. Mark and Robert will be with you the whole week.”
“Are you sure that’s a good idea? I honestly don’t know how the film was even finished with the three of us mucking about.”
“But it was finished, and now you can relax.” A picks up the coat Tilly had set on the table beside her and hung it on the back of the chair.
“I’m stupidly early, aren’t I?” Tilly smoothed over the collar of her shirt.
“A little but the boys are on their way and the interview room is getting set up.” A sits off to the side.
“Good.” Tilly sinks into a beanbag checking her phone.
A text from Tom reads: I love you, and miss you. Even if it’s only been a few days. Have fun with the press.
*Time skip to the first interview of the day. *
“I’m Sarah from Cinemazone, and today we have Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo and Tabitha Hawthorne.”
“Um, it’s Tilly.” Tilly softly corrects.
“Right right, sorry. So, my first questions are actually for Tilly, since she’s new.” Sarah begins the interview
“Save the best for last.” Robert smirks.
“Anyway, I’ve been following you and your films since you first started and you were wonderful in Tentative Secret. I was wondering if it was difficult to read from an action film script.”
“I don’t think so from a storytelling experience no, but filming this was different than any movie I’ve ever had the pleasure of being a part of. In my opinion it’s all about the scripts and the talent behind the scenes that makes it worth watching.” Tilly answers to the best of her ability.
Remember what Tom said simple and to the point.
“You’ve also been a fashion icon for plenty of women everywhere. I was just wondering when are you going to go put your hair back the way it was before all of this. It was much pretty red and long than purple and short. And I see you’re wearing heels that’s an interesting choice for a giant such as yourself.”
“I cut it short to donate and then dyed it because in Infinity Wars and in the She-Hulk show I wear a wig. It’s just me playing around with my hair. I thought I’d step out of my box. Nothing permanent, and as for my heels, I like wearing them.” She cringes a little because of the judgement of the question.
Why should I look a certain way?
“Oh, alright. Now here’s the real meat of this interview. Are you jealous that the other female cast members have worked with the hot male cast members more than you?”
“Oh no, I can’t complain. My scenes are mostly with these two stud muffins.” Tilly smirks wrapping her arms around Mark and Robert.
For Mark and Robert, the same old questions came up again. Mark and his activism, Robert, and his onset hijinks. Tilly watches as the men divulge their stories. In all honest she picked the two of them early on to be her mentors. She wants her influents to mean something as well as be entertaining to other cast members and crew.
This interview ends and ten minutes in between them to set up for the next seem to go by so fast.
“Hello I’m Aaron from CinemaCove and I’m here with Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo and new comer Tilly Hawthorne.” The interviewer says.
At least he knows the names of who he’s interviewing.
“How does it feel to have gone from low ranking no name actress to so well known in a few days?” Aaron asks.
“Um well I haven’t really thought about it until asked. I thought I was doing well with my Romance films. I personally like the Italian one The Sonata from The Bride.” Tilly answers while thinking Do this many people hate me in real life.
“Speaking of new fame, has it been an issue to read alongside more experienced actors like the man to your left. “Aaron gestures to Robert.
“Well yes in a way. You want to, as a new comer, impress veterans but I think as long as that’s not hindering your performance it’s a good thing.”
“She’s better than I was, when I started. “Robert says trying to take the sting out of the insult.
“I don’t think it’s fair to her acting abilities to compare it to another’s. Robert’s never been a leading lady in a Period romantic.” Mark adds.
“Or worn a 18th century inspired corset.” Tilly adds.
“My next question In the films, your character has undergone vast changes to her physical form and appearance. Do you feel that this lessens the character for the viewers because she no longer looks like the character they love?” He asks.
“Well maybe that’s a very superficial way of looking at it. I like the character because even if she’s green and not really of human descent she still has her humanity. I find that to be interesting because of the way the Hulk and the She-hulk were made. Mark correct me if I’m wrong but the Hulk was made after a botched attempt at a serum to turn men into weapons. Bruce tested it on himself and became a weapon. She-Hulk was made by Bruce performing a blood transfusion with her. I think any kind of act like that is one of heroism, and from that act birthed a hero. So basically, what I’m getting at is don’t watch the film superficially, watch it for the story and characters.” Tilly takes a sip of her tea after the long-winded answer.
“When can we expect you to return to the rom-com genre? Your performances there were stunning there and there isn't much future in action films. “Aaron asks.
“I think I’m going to answer that with a quote from one of my favorite films, I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks.” Tilly says quoting Harry Potter.
“Did you do your own makeup for the film? “Aaron asked curiously staring at her lipstick.
“No, a lot of it was CGI like Mark’s are, but I tend to do my own makeup for these appearances. The emerald lipstick is well a reference to She-Hulk.” Tilly smiles showing off the shimmer of the lipstick and contrast of the emerald to her teeth. One of her best kept makeup secrets is that emerald lipstick makes your teeth appear whiter.
"Are u surprised a woman of your figure got the role, compared to Scarlett Johansson"
“I think Scarlett is a lovely woman, and putting women against each other is a cheap move at toxic journalism.” Tilly answers while thinking That came out of his face hole. He wrote down that.
Robert had to hold Mark back from further reacting to the “figure” question. He could tell she was hurt by his question.
“Because you have so much screen time in this movie, is there any kind of rivalry between other female cast members?”
“No, I wouldn’t say animosity. Scarlett did jump into my arms once, like full on bridal carrying, and we ran off the back lot to get cheeseburgers. That was fun. I also bench pressed Lizzie, she was terrified I would drop her, I didn’t but the Russo brothers did say I wasn’t allowed to pick anyone else up.” Tilly laughs.
“And then she picked Anthony up.” Robert adds. “Joe wouldn’t get near her after that.”
“I remember they were directing her from like ten feet away just in case she got any wild ideas.” Mark adds.
That interview ends and A looks over to Tilly and mouths “ I’m sorry.”
“I’m John from Movie Central and I’m here today with Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo and Tilly Hawthorne.” he begins cheerfully.
“Who's the biggest flirt on set? Anybody try and get in your pants?” he asks.
“Oh, no one.” Tilly shakes her head. Surely people know about Tom and I.
“Has your lack of love life affected your acting?”
“Um, I do have a boyfriend but we don’t really want all that attention.” Tilly answers. Maybe they don’t know that much about Tom and I.
"Does having so many male actors on set distract you from acting?"
“Nope, they are just people.” Tilly gives a fake smile then thinks Why are my questions so shitty?
“Were the action scenes exhausting for you because of your little experience in the action genre?
“I think anyone regardless of acting experiences would be exhausting. But my experience was bouncing around in grey pajamas with Mark so I was tired but it was so fun.” She answers already bored with the interview.
“Have you considered voice acting?”
“Is that an insult or a real question, because I know my mug isn’t perfect but I thought I was at least a 6.” Tilly tries to bite her tongue to not saying anything rude back.
Mark’s eyes nearly popped out of his head as the interviewer started to laugh at her answer.
“Don’t listen to him, you’re an eleven.” Robert pats her shoulder as the interviewer leaves.
The second to last interviewer walks in, takes a seat, and gets the intro over within a matter of seconds.
“How much weight did you have to lose for this role?” He asks.
“Um that’s a rude question but I did lose some when toning my muscles but if you’ve ever seen a comic with Jennifer Walters or She-Hulk she is quite curvy.” Tilly answers slowly. Come on Tilly Thick skin remember.
“What is your workout routine yet? Do you have any weight loss tips for our readers/watchers?”
“Muscle toning, and yoga, lots of stretching personally because I get leg cramps easy since they are kind of long.” She answers watching the guy look her up and down stopping at her legs.
Damn this pinstriped skirt.
“Do you think the reason she-hulk was only just brought into the marvel cinematic universe is because she is definitely no one's favorite?”
“Woah woah woah, sorry to interrupt but, they’re plenty of people wanting to see She-Hulk on the screen.” Mark says before Tilly can open her mouth. “And I couldn’t think of any other person I’d want to play my on-screen cousin.” He puts an arm around her shoulder silently thinking “This woman has the patience of a saint.”
“Speaking of casting choices, I heard Mila Kunis passed on this role before it was offered to you; how does it feel to be their second choice?”
“I’m uh...thankful that I’m here.” Tilly hesitates trying not to let this get to her.
How can someone have four terrible interviews in one day.
“We're you surprised when you' were selected for such an amazing role”
“I was hesitant to take the role, because of the well horse power behind it so to speak, the big contract can be terrifying for an actress.”
“Why did they let you stay so bulky for this role instead of thinning you down?”
“Um, well I think if She-Hulk is involved it’s more about the inside, as cliché as it sounds.”
“She didn’t come in today so you could bully her.” Mark sternly makes it known.
Although Tilly hasn’t been in the Marvel family for long the first person she opened up to was Mark. He felt responsible for her taking the part as well since he was the one to call and persuade her to take it.
The interview smiles and goes to Mark “Of course not , but are you concerned that as your body isn't perfect shape that girls won't look up to you as girls need to have perfect body shapes?”
“I’m not dignifying that with a response.” Tilly says sipping her tea.
Mark and Robert are shocked that this man would ask her these questions.
“I do have one last question.” He says.
“Thank the lord above.” Tilly mutters.
“How did u make up for the lack of on screen chemistry with all of the male characters on the screen? “
“I disagree with that. I think there was chemistry. Not romantic but familial love chemistry between Bruce Banner and his cousin Jennifer. They were raised together, so their relationship when they were younger was more of a sibling's bond but after Bruce left they hadn’t seen eachother since they were kids. The scene where Bruce and Jennifer meet back up is straight ripped from the comics which was one of my favorite scenes filming.” Tilly answers.
Once the interviewer leaves Tilly looks over at A who mouths “You have one more, you can do this.”
“I’m Dylan from Cinema Typhoon and here I’m catching up with Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo and Tilda Hawthorne.” He begins.
A few minuets later after asking Mark and Robert questions he looks towards Tilly.
“Your makeup now, did you do this by yourself. I mean why the green. It looks awful.” He laughs.
“I think this lipstick is very pretty and will continue to wear it for the rest of the junket.” Tilly says trying not to lose it.
“Does knowing she-hulk will never be as good as the hulk put you off acting and want to not be in the franchise?” Dylan gets back to interviewing.
“Don’t answer that Tilly.” Mark says then adds “This whole day she’s been picked apart by the press like vultures, all because she wants to entertain people. Do you find what’s wrong in that?”
“She choose to go into show business, speaking of that. You've gained a considerable amount of weight in the past couple of months. Is there a baby Hiddleston on the way?”
Tilly opened that closed her mouth like a fish. She finally shook her head, trying not to tear up, or stop her face from turning red.
“How many more questions do you have left?” Robert asks as Mark has his hand on Tilly’s shoulder and whispers to her “Are you alright.”
“A few.” Dylan answers.
“Make them quick.” Robert says near snarling. No one messes with newbie on his watch.
Tilly answers to Mark “I don’t know.”
How do you think you measure up to Tom’s past girlfriends? Dylan asks.
“I don’t measure up to any other women. Tom and I are happy together.” Tilly says trying to will the tears to not come down yet.
“So, that means he isn’t dating Taylor Swift.” Dylan sounds disappointed.
That’s it. I’m going to explode.
“No, he isn’t. He hasn’t dated her since last July.” Tom and I have been together for six months, anything else.” Tilly says letting a little venom fall off her lips.
“Do you feel like you're not good enough for Tom after looking at girls he has dated in the past?”
“That’s it!” Tilly stood up grabbing her coat.
“Where are, you going, the interview isn’t over.” Dylan asks using his hands for emphasis.
“You’re a CUNT!” Tilly yells in the Dylan’s face. “Good Day!”
Tilly slams the door nearly hitting Arely, her assistant, also known as A.
“Arely, I can’t go back in there.” She says going into the women’s restroom near the sinks.
“And you don’t have to, but I will. I had to sit by as five people cut you down and that’s not right. As your friend and assistant, I’m going to give them a piece of my mind.” Arely says grabbing a paper towel and handing it over.
“Is anything they said true?” Tilly asks A.
“No honey it’s not. You know as well as I do that Tom loves you. You’re smart, funny, heart of gold and now I know the patience of a saint. I don’t understand how you didn’t punch them in the throat.” Arely wipes off her face. “Well at least we know your lipstick is smudge proof. None of it has come off so far.”
“What do I do? Does Luke need to know about the bad press? Can I call Tom? Would it be distracting to his press tour?” Tilly asks all in guttural mumbles as she calms down.
“You call Tom. I’ll tell Luke.” Arely plans as she leaves Tilly in the women’s restroom.
Opening the door, she smacks into Mark and Robert waiting outside.
“Is she okay?” Mark asks.
“She will be.” A answers.
“Wonder if she should cancel for tomorrow.” Robert asks making the two, Arely and Mark turn around.
“She’d hate that. Tilly would be more upset, that her emotions got the better of her.” Arely answers.
“She’s not going through that again.” Mark says.
“Is there anything we can do?” Robert asks.
“Yes, don’t talk about what just happened ever again.” Arely answers before heading back to the interview room followed by Mark and Robert.
“Why are you two following me?” Arely asks turning around.
“We want to watch the show.” Robert says.
“And make sure you don’t kill him or anything.” Mark adds.
“Fine you two can come.” Arely opens the door to the interview room.
