All Marvel Studios’ Trilogies, Ranked

With the release of Guardians Of Tue Galaxy Vol. 3, Marvel Studios has officially reached the mark of 5 trilogies on its total, and we must confess that every trilogy has at least one banger movie. We decided to bring you our ranking of the 5 MCU trilogies. 5. Ant-Man This trilogy had WAY more potential than what it actually offered us… Ant-Man: And The Wasp: Quantumania proved that this…

SPIDER-FIT CHECK: THE MOVIE SUITS (Part 1)

Happy Spider-Man day!! Today ill be goin through every live action Spider-Man suit ever put to film!

The Human Spider: 6/10

Ha! You thought it was gonna be the Tobey suit. No before he made the first Spider-Man suit, Peter suited up in this sweater and ski mask combo to fight Bonesaw. And its perfectly suitable, not much to talk about aside from the neat negative spider in the chest.

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: 10/10

Here we have our first interpretation of Spider-Man on the big screen and god they knocked it out of the park. The raised silver webbing is such a good look and im a fan of the angular eyes on this suit. (I'm aware that the suits used through the trilogy change with every film, but not enough to warrant seperate rankings)

Symbiote Suit: 9/10

Black suits are so cool and that remains true here. The raised webbing and angular eyes are still big highlights, but it just being a simple recolor stops it from being the same level as what it came from. Those yellow lenses are cool af tho.

Amazing Casual Suit: 5/10

Andrew's first suit is much more thrown together than the Human Spider or the upcoming Homemade suit from homecoming. And while it has its own unique charm, that mostly comes from how Andrew's Peter carries himself, rather than the suit itself.

Amazing Spider-man: 8/10

I LIKE THE BASKETBALL SUIT AND IM TIRED OF PRETENDING IT ISNT COOL. The unique materials on this suit plus the yellow eyes make it so unique and stand out from every other suit here.

Amazing Spider-man 2 Suit: 12/10

The best version of the classic suit ever put to film. The eyes? Perfect. The colors? Vibrant. The eyes? Spot on. This is what I think of when you say Spider-Man.

MCU Homemade Suit: 7/10

The best starting suit of the 3, the moving lenses, bright colors, visible bulky webshooters, and spray painted symbol are big highlights. Big Scarlet Spider energy.

Homecoming Suit: 8/10

Its so close. So close to being perfect. But im sorry some things on this suit hold me back from giving it a perfect score. I dont like the barely visible webbing on the red, and I absolutely despise the dark blue running through the cyan. But those things don't tank my enjoyment of this suit too much, the colors and moving eyes are still phenomenal.

MCU Iron Spider: 2/10

This is awful. Im sorry but taking the amazing Iron Spider from the comics and deciding to make it a washed out red and a deep cerulean blue makes me hate it. They should've just adapted the suit from the books instead of trying to mash the Sensational and Iron Spider together to a suit that doesn't meet the sum of its parts.

MCU Stealth Suit: 4/10

...Meh. I dont really have strong opinions on this? Its a little on the bulkier side, and I dont like the head straps that are only there to justify the moving eyes.

[twistedtummies2]

What would be your top 5 of disney villains you wish would appear in future games, and who didn't get a chance to already appear?

So, I’m gonna do you one better here and go all the way into making this a full-blown list. XD I was debating if I’d wait till the KH Month Event I have planned to do something like this, buuut since you’re asking now, I’ll just take care of it now. ;) Now, I’m not gonna be counting villains who have already appeared, or ones from worlds that we know are planned for the future (such as Zootopia and Coco). Also, I’m only counting characters from Disney or Disney-owned properties. With that said…here’s a list of not top five, but TOP TWELVE Villains I Would Like to See in Kingdom Hearts.

12. Any of Spider-Man’s Villains.

Yeah, this is cheating, I know. But it’s my list, and it’s at the very bottom, so cut me some slack. :P Ever since Disney bought Marvel, people have been BEGGING for a Kingdom Hearts level with Marvel characters. I wouldn’t be against this, myself; however, Marvel is such a vast, sprawling universe in its own right, it would be REALLY hard to make a “Marvel World” with ALL of the characters. You’d have to figure out which one or two would become Party Members, and you’d have to figure out how to focus the story. If I were to make a Marvel world in KH, I’d specifically choose to base it on Spider-Man, for three reasons: one, I think the mechanics of the character and his universe would be interesting to explore in KH. Two, Spidey is arguably Marvel’s most popular character, so if you’re only going to choose one, he’s the best-selling option. And three, a lot of the best Marvel Villains ALL exist in Spidey’s universe, and you can have a lot of fun with any of them for a single World. The Green Goblin, Venom, Doc Ock, Kingpin…all of them offer some interesting possibilities. The reason I list these guys so low, however, is because a.) there’s already a LOT of Spider-Man games, so it’s not like he or his villains really need the recognition KH would bring to the party, and b.) there are so many versions of Spider-Man, whoever puts a Spidey level in KH would have to think really, REALLY hard about how to handle it. Do you base it on a movie in the MCU? Do you do something based on a specific comic or TV show? Do you just go in your own direction? There’s perhaps TOO MANY possibilities, if that makes sense, and so while I’d love to see it happen, I can understand if it never does.

11. Darth Vader.

Just like Spidey and Marvel, ever since Lucasfilm got bought out by Disney, people have been aching to see a Star Wars World in KH. And, just like with Marvel and Spider-Man, part of the reason I rank Darth Vader so low on the list is because there’s already a LOT of Star Wars games out there, so it’s not as if we really NEED a KH level to give them attention. Also, KH already is a bit confusing since it’s kind of already a space adventure, when you think about it, so how do you put a space fantasy setting into what is effectively ALREADY a space fantasy setting? It’s part of the same reason why - spoiler alert - you WON’T be seeing “Treasure Planet” and Silver here, as much as I would love to see either. However, what puts Vader over Spidey’s entire Rogues Gallery is that Star Wars is a lot easier to harness, so to speak: there’s not a bajillion different versions of Darth Vader, there’s basically just one, when you get down to it. And while there’s certainly a lot of room in the Star Wars universe to play with…let’s all be honest, if KH DOES do something with Star Wars? The chances are extremely high it’s going to be based on either the original trilogy, or is going to take place within that sort of period of Star Wars history. I don’t think it would be as profitable for them if they used one of the TV shows, it wouldn’t make as much sense if they used the Sequel trilogy, and the chances of the Prequel trilogy being used don’t seem very high either. That’s really why I name Vader, specifically: the chances of seeing other major villains (aside from those others present in the original trilogy, like Boba Fett or Emperor Palpatine) isn’t very good, and let’s face it, a boss fight against Vader with Sora and either Donald, Goofy, or both in the mix, would be…both awesome and absolutely fecking HILARIOUS at the same time.

10. Shere Khan & Kaa.

The problem with these two is basically the same problem I have with the idea of Jungle Book world in general, which is why I don’t place them very high. Do I want to see them and this universe in KH? Absolutely; it’s honestly kind of a glaring oversight that it hasn’t happened yet. The problem is…well, what would you do that’s different? We had a jungle exploration level with talking animals and humans mingling in KHI, and in terms of turning these two into competent bosses that could face Sora, I don’t know what you could do that wouldn’t be too similar to stuff from the Pride Lands in KHII (especially in Shere Khan’s case). So, as great as it would be to see them and their world, it’s hard to imagine what they would really do that would make it stand out. That’s probably why it hasn’t shown up yet, to be perfectly honest, and while I will naturally be delighted if/when that day comes, I can understand why it hasn’t happened so far.

9. Zira.

The only villain here who would be from a returning World, which is why I place Zira low. That, and the problems that exist with Shere Khan would effectively exist with her: aside from the whole “villain turns into a Heartless” thing, or perhaps something like the first game where they have two forms - first Zira as herself, then her as some kind of monstrous creature - it’s hard to think of how you’d manage Zira combat wise. And God knows I’m thinking of that stuff with these characters, because the one thing KHIII pissed me off on was the decided lack of proper Disney Villain boss fights (minus Davy Jones). However, I would genuinely like to return to the Pride Lands again, and since I doubt Disney would make a level like that based on “The Lion Guard,” the next best thing would be to based the World on the sequel film, which - unique among Disney Animated Sequels - seems to actually have a decent following of fans. And if you do that, it’s only natural that Zira would appear as the villain. So it’s less for her own sake, and more for her world’s sake, but I’m still placing her here.

8. Tamatoa.

We frankly need a new undersea/ocean-based adventure in KH. Atlantica’s three attempts really didn’t go over well in ANY of the games, so I think taking a new stab at the idea with “Moana” would be a good idea. Because of the way the film works, you can eliminate a lot of the stuff that made Atlantica’s visits problematic, and with new technology and bigger budgets being afforded to these games, you can REALLY make the world come alive with color and splendor that wasn’t possible back in the early 2000s. That was the best part of KHIII, to me: the visuals and the colors were so breathtaking, because gaming had just come such a long way, and to see more games with that aesthetic splendor, taking advantage of other worlds, would be great. Plus, the whole story focuses on literally trying to return someone’s heart: how perfect for KH is that?! While Te-Fiti would doubtless be the big star of a Moana-themed World, antagonist-wise, it’s Tamatoa I would be MOST excited to see, which is why I name him, specifically. (Also, for you kinky weirdos…I pray to God he gets a move where he tries to eat Sora…maybe have us struggle to escape his stomach…just a few thoughts. >///> )

7. The Horned King.

I’m genuinely a fan of the Horned King, and ever since I was a little kid, I thought it would be cool to see a Black Cauldron World in KH JUST so you could have a boss battle with the King. In fact, a chance to do that would fix a problem with the film and the character! In the original movie, there are all these lines and pontifications from the King and others about “his power,” but we never really SEE much of that power in action. Aside from him teleporting in one scene, the King never really shows how great a sorcerer he supposedly is. With KH, you can mend that issue: have a boss fight with the Horned King, who uses all this dark magic to attack you, and maybe involve the Cauldron in the fight as you try to knock him towards it, or have to attack it to activate something or complete some goal. The only reason I place the King in the lower half of the list is because I doubt Disney would do a Black Cauldron level (for reasons I probably don’t need to name), and even if they do, I wouldn’t put it past them to fudge things up with this character at this point. :P 

6. Willie the Giant.

I had to wrestle with fifth and sixth place a bit. Without giving away who number five is, between them and this character, Willie seems the most likely to appear, if only by the slimmest margin. We’ve already had Mickey Mouse-based Worlds in KH based on Steamboat Willie, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, and that Three Musketeers movie…so why NOT do something based on “Mickey and the Beanstalk”? Have it be another of King Mickey’s dreams or past adventures; maybe it was something that helped him become a King to begin with! Or, hey, maybe it doesn’t take place in the time of the film, but some villain or other plants a bean in Disney Town/Disney Castle, and we have to climb the Beanstalk from there, kind of like with other “Worlds Within Worlds” from past games. Also, Willie just seems like he’d be an AWESOME choice for a boss fight; he’s not the most evil or the most bright of Disney Villains, but HE’S A LITERAL FREAKING GIANT. And one who can shapeshift, at that! That could be SO COOL for a boss battle! You can go in so many directions there! Even if he’s not part of the main game, you could include him as a surprise character of some kind; like an optional battle or secret battle that pops up somewhere, a-la Julius or Monstro. I dunno, it would just be neat to see!

5. The Phantom Blot.

Okay, so, the chances of this guy getting an appearance are very, VERY small. Between him and Willie the Giant, Willie is much more likely to appear in some fashion than the Blot. Heck, a lot of characters I’ve already named are much more likely to show up. So, on that front, he probably shouldn’t be this high up…but I’ve always had a soft spot for the Blot, and I think it could be really fun to use him in a KH game. We’ve seen how Pete has shown up with multiple references to his history throughout the games, just like Mickey, so why not bring the Blot in? He could be a rival to Pete, perhaps; a returning criminal who, like Pete, Mickey & Minnie best in the past and either destroyed or banished. You could play with different versions of the character that have existed: for instance, have him appear as his master crook self first, but then later transform into a giant ink monster a-la Epic Mickey - again, much like how the villains in the first game often worked out, with two different forms. It’s probably never going to happen, but “I can dream, Harold!”

4. Professor Ratigan.

GOOD LORD, I WANT A GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE LEVEL SO BAD. Imagine the fun of playing as Mouse Sora! Imagine how a tiny Goofy and Donald would look, how cool it would be to explore Gothic, mist-filled Victorian London alongside Basil of Baker Street! Everything so much bigger than ever, riding on Toby’s back to get from place to place! And, of course, getting to have a battle with the Napoleon of (Rodent) Crime, Professor Ratigan himself! (Not to mention an encounter with Felicia…I refer you to my thoughts on Tamatoa.) The only thing that prevents me from placing Ratigan in the top three is the voice: Vincent Price’s voice is thoroughly inimitable, and I’ve never really heard ANYONE replicate to my fullest satisfaction, in general. Maurice LaMarche - who’s played Vincent Van Ghoul for various Scooby-Doo related things - probably comes the closest. I guess you could either see if you could get him, or you could somehow stitch together archival audio of Vincent, but it’s hard to say how successful either would REALLY be. Still, if Disney and Square Enix ever do try a GMD World for KH, I will have high hopes to see this nasty no-good-nick there!

3. Syndrome.

My favorite Pixar Villain from my favorite Pixar Movie. Now that we’ve got no less than three Pixar films in KH (counting Coco’s confirmation), I wouldn’t be surprised at all if an Incredibles level came along some time. If it does, it would be great to see this guy show up then. Honestly, I don’t think I need to say anything else beyond that, so…I’m not going to. That was easy. Moving on.

2. The Headless Horseman.

Just like the Horned King, I would LOVE to see the Headless Horseman show up in KH sometime, and have imagined such a thing since I was but a wee little snot. HOWEVER, unlike the Horned King, I know EXACTLY how one would handle him. While I don’t think a Sleepy Hollow World would work out all that well - it’s not exactly the most “active” Disney story to adventure through, so chances are it would be more background scenery while Sora and Co. deal with original threats - I think it would be great if you did for the Horseman what KH has done in the past for one of three characters: Monstro, Chernabog, or Julius. For Chernabog, he showed up as a surprise boss towards the end of the game when Sora and Co. entered “The End of the World” in KHI. For Julius, he was an optional battle who would startle the player if you ran into him by going to a certain place at a certain time. And for Monstro, he was a villain you faced only as part of a series of minigame challenges in the Mirage Arena for BBS. I think any one of these would be BRILLIANT to give the Horseman a shot: have him show up as a secret boss you have to unlock in some fashion, or as a surprise villain who pops up in the pits of darkness at some point, or even gets summoned by one of the original baddies! Or, heck, if you DO try a Sleepy Hollow world…however peripheral most of it turns out to be, the chance to face the Horseman would make it ALL worth it.

 

1. Dr. Facilier.

I think this is the character MANY people would like to see show up the most, not just me. He and his film itself just seem like such natural fits for the KH universe. He’s a wily witch doctor who controls shadows - that already sounds like a KH villain! These shadows are busted by light - again, sounds like a KH thing! He can conjure illusions, change people’s shapes, and his defeat comes at the hands of dark spirits: all very KH things that would fit in a battle and boss-beating. Plus, while I don’t think this guy is as popular as he was…ten years ago, maybe? He’s still considered one of the chief Disney Villains, and he’s been my personal second favorite for a long time. It’s genuinely surprising he hasn’t shown up yet, and I can only pray that he will, and that when/if that time comes, the KH universe will treat him nicely.

poll info:

this poll is literally to cause tumblr drama because I’m bored. feel free to start discourse in tags or replies. I’m not a mod of my posts and I’m not monitoring my posts. do your thing.

reiterating this poll is for fun, and while I’ll try to keep it organized, I am not going out of my way to make a tumblr poll bracket I’m doing in my free time 100% bias-free or 100% optimized.

I reserve the right to add or remove ships to the initial bracket at my discretion, or to not answer all asks, or whatever else makes it more fun, short of actually changing results (I will let the people decide.) basically, if you have a problem with something about the way this competition is run, I don’t care.

I feel like this should go without saying but I do ascribe to the idea that some ships are inherently morally bad and deserve to be hated. I won’t post about all my opinions on the ships, but if a ship is predatory/offensive/has bigoted shippers I will join in calling it really bad, and I will not be accepting or starting anti/pro-shipper discourse here. it’s 2023, grow up and stop shipping incest.

polls will be posted in batches from their respective level on the bracket and will last a week before moving on to the next set. i.e. all of the first vs. polls will be posted at the same time until a week passes and they’re done, and then the winning ships will be noted and we’ll move on to the second level of the bracket and all of those polls will be up for a week, etc.

posts will be tagged via batches (”batch 1“, “batch 2″, etc), ships, and fandom.

I will be trying to seed it properly based on ship prestige, number of submissions, and common sense. if you have an issue with it after all of that, send a text form complaint to 1-800-YOUR-MOM to file necessary feedback.

Top Ten Iron Man Suit-Up Moments in the MCU

Ah, back to the MCU; along with stuff to do with Transformers, this is absolutely my Top Ten comfort zone (memo to self: “Top Ten Comfort Zones”). And where would the MCU be without Iron Man? The lodestone of the entirely seventy-film, eighty-year saga (or something like that). Robert Downey Jr’s portrayal of Tony Stark really did set the tone for the entire endeavour though; he was the backbone of the franchise for about a decade, and provided it with some of its best and most iconic moments, right up until his heroic death in Endgame (spoiler alert).

Whilst a lot of what made Downey’s Stark so great was his delivery – his louche demeanour, his charming arrogance, his way with a nifty nickname (“Legolas”, “Manchurian Candidate”, “Lebowski”), so much of it also derived from how well various filmmakers displayed his signature superhero hook – that is to say, the Iron Man armour itself. Right from the off, Jon Favreau rooted the visual style of the first Iron Man in an attempt at something approaching down-to-Earth realism; from the gritty Middle East-set opening, with its War on Terror-evoking palette and action, through to the street-level action and boardroom shenanigans, it felt a world away from Tim Burton Gothic Gotham City or the hyper-colourful New York of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man films, and a lot closer to what Christopher Nolan was attempting at the same time over in his Dark Knight trilogy. And this extended to the portrayal of the suits; all whirring cogs and shifting pistons. Whilst we know arc reactors and repulsors and the things of fantasy, the armour itself still felt like something that could just about exist in the real world. I remember back in 2008 thinking the most out-there aspect of the whole film was the idea that Stark could have designed a sentient AI in the present day.

As the films ploughed on, barrelling into the wider MCU with aplomb, the scale, scope, and tone shifted somewhat. As soon as giant green rage monsters, space Vikings, and wizards became part of the MCU, Tony’s humble suits ran the risk of looking quaint. As such, new films explored new ways of dressing up Our Tone, giving him snazzier duds that he was able to pull on in new and exciting ways. And that’s what this list celebrates; not the various Iron Man armours themselves, but the really cool ways Tony gets dressed into them in different films. Because – again, right from the very start – one of the showpiece spectacle moments of most Iron Man appearances has been seeing him suit up for the first time in each movie, revelling in the way the armour wraps itself around Downey’s frame. It also helps to showcase the different styles and improvements he’s made over the years. And that’s what I’m ranking here. Just below.

One caveat: I’ve called this a “suit-up” list, but there are a couple of outliers here. Some are when he’s removing his suit; I think it still counts, because it’s seeing the different ways it goes on or comes off that I like (er, that sounds dodgy). And there’s at least one that’s technically not really a suit at all, but it’s something Iron Man-y that Iron Man wears, so I’m including it. What can I say? I love it three thousand.

The Briefcase Suit (Iron Man 2, 2010): after the first film had established the concept of Tony Sark putting on his shiny metal pyjamas, the second one naturally had to twist it and show it off in a new and exciting way. As an inventor, it helped to also show Stark’s ingenuity; as a comic adaptation, it would be cool to call back to something from the source. Hence the transportable suit-in-a-can, a briefcase that contains a lightweight easy-on version of the armour. It’s cool on a number of levels but for me the best bit is the way it goes on, unfolding accordion-like, pulled in two separate directions to activate the armour. It looks great, and this whole sequence is by a mile the best thing in the film.

One-Button Suit-Up (Captain America: Civil War, 2016): taking the ingenuity to heretofore unmatched heights is the suiting-up process in Stark’s private jet. Up till now the film has deliberately shied away from Iron Man, instead giving us Stark the negotiator, the politician. Now, finally, he suits up, pressing just one button on his chair, only for the mechanisms to spring forth and wrap around his finger, as he’s pulled backwards into the plane as parts of his armour are built up automatically around him. It’s an almost organic process and while it makes little practical sense it does look great.

Automatic Suit Removal (The Avengers, 2012): here we do have, to be honest, a suit-off process. Landing on the balcony-slash-runway of his sumptuous tower (full-tilt diva), a series of circular tracks rotate around him as mechanical arms grab and remove all the parts of his armour. It’s a streamlined version of the robot arms we’ve seen in the prior Iron Man movies, and the fact it takes place along walkway gives it an almost assembly-line feeling. The icing on the cake, though, is how nonchalant Stark is, never breaking his stride or slowing down as the machines do all the work.

Mark 42 (Iron Man 3, 2013): Stark’s travails with his new armour in this movie are a recurring gag. The new suit is – a bit like the robo-arms from earlier films – given a good deal of personality and there’s a lot of humour as the individual components rocket around and bounce off things as they try to find their mark on Stark. It’s a great, fun sequence that again shows off Stark’s inventiveness; and it’s paid off again and again, especially when he calls upon the armour to rescue him doesn’t go quite as well as he’d hoped. I also want to shout out the homemade jerry-rigged “suit” he builds out of the contents of a local B&Q, but as we don’t really have a “suit-up” moment for that I didn’t include it in the list.

The Nano Suit (Avengers: Infinity War, 2018): after praising the more down-to-Earth nature of some of the suits, here we go with something so outlandishly futuristic it borders on magical. It was fairly obvious Downey was leaving the franchise because really, where do you go from here? A nanotech Iron Man suit that almost bleeds itself over his body, generating weapons and shields organically. It’s a great effect, and the culmination of every bit of tech we’ve seen from him before. But it’s the first moment he puts it on that really rocks, when he tosses his glasses aside and seemingly tugs on the strings of his hoody to activate it. He is Iron Man.

The Watch (Captain America: Civil War): yeah, here we go again with something that can only charitably be referred to as “a suit”. But it’s just so damn cool, and again it’s another show of his ingenuity. Many references are made to him being a “civilian” in Civil War, only wearing his “Tom Ford” suit. But when the need arises, he taps a few commands into his watch and then sort of pulls it over his hand in one incredibly cool motion, creating one Iron Man glove. It allows him to off a few repulsor blasts and is robust enough to stop a bullet at point-blank range with seemingly no ill-effects.

Veronica (Avengers: Age of Ultron, 2015): the Hulkbuster armour is something from the comics so naturally everyone was clamouring to see it realised on-screen. Its use in Age of Ultron is great – the best bit of the film? Nah, that’s Hawkeye’s “the city is floating” speech – because of how it’s teased and how it unfolds. We know that “Veronica” (a nice play on Betty and Veronica) has been designed by Stark and Banner to control the Hulk just in case, which adds a good bit of tragedy to the proceedings. But launching from space, initially plonking great walls around the Jolly Green Giant, with some kind of Centurions-style wing-suit just about visible attaching itself to Iron Man in the background. And then the reveal: all the component parts fired from space, clicking into place around Stark’s existing armour, his squat round head flopping down over his tiny human head. And the fight begins, which is great; bonus “suit-up” points for replacement limbs flying in when Hulk trashes the existing ones.

Mid-Air Suit-Up (The Avengers): Stark’s nifty suit-removal system in his penthouse has already been singled out, but there’s another really cool moment in Avengers. Typically this scene is remembered, I’d say, for Stark’s “We have a Hulk” line to Loki, but his suit-up is great too. Slyly putting on some wristbands during his convo, he’s chucked out a window and mid-fall his new suit is fired to him, locking onto those fancy bracelets (still attempting some kind of just about plausible technology at this stage) and then folding itself around him like an uncomfortable-looking billion-dollar blanket.

Testing the Mark 2 (Iron Man, 2008): the iconic red-and-gold Iron Man armour is actually the third suit he wears in his debut film. And whilst it’s cool and all, it’s this, the first “real” suit-up moment, that I think set the stage for all that followed. Stark’s various automated arms and appliances piece the suit together around him, with lots of close-ups of screws being whirred into place and different flaps and hinges opening and closing. It’s an almost pornographic depiction of metal, a real petrolhead’s dream of the future. As I said before, the realism afforded this suit – its tactility and rigidity, its almost plausibility – gave the whole film and, really, the whole MCU a solid foundation.

House Party Protocol (Iron Man 3): well, where to start? The finale of Iron Man 3 might be another CG-heavy aerial battle, but conceptually it’s so damn fun. The running theme of a traumatised Stark building too many suits comes to a head as he unleashes all of them, running on autopilot, but available for him to jump into and out of at a moment’s notice as he battles the metal-melting Extremis-addled baddies. Cue a helter-skelter sequence of Stark leaping into one suit, ejecting just in time, losing (mechanical) limbs, getting picked up by another suit, et cetera. It’s hilarious and – that word again – ingenious and in culminates in a fantastic Mark 42 gag.

Shame I didn’t have room for Stark using the Mark 42 to save Pepper in Iron Man 3, but there’s only so much you can do. I think the various ways filmmakers have depicted these suit-up (and suit-down) moments over the years has been tremendous fun. Thus far, the “Iron Man-adjacent” characters we’ve met in Black Panther haven’t had anywhere near as cool a moment to shine. Hopefully the Ironheart show will give us a new contender.

Also, looking at the gif from Civil War again: where does the top of the glove come from? These films make no sense!

may i ask when it comes to marvel comics who are your favorite characters? do you have a preference for marvel or dc comics? if you had to rank your top 5 comicbook characters who would they be and why? what is something you think people misunderstand about your favorite character and/or team? <3

hi jojo! i went to go play so viddy games but i’m back! you may indeed ask!! when it comes to preference it’s probably a close tie? i do enjoy some marvel characters more than some dc characters ( see magneto, kurt , kitty, emma , deadpool, the punisher, daredevil ect. ) you ask such nice questions let’s see if i can give you succinct answers !!

top five favorite comic book characters, in no particular order.

1. magneto / erik : this man tops a lot of people’s lists i’m sure, however i really do love his core character traits and what he stood for & stands for. mainstream media demonizes erik because in my eyes they don’t want the public to realize that activism and toppling current oppressive world orders IS POSSIBLE with effort and willingness of people ( think about the inception that was the hunger games trilogy movies, how they strategically butchered it in a way where it’s core message was skewed and used as marketing , eerily similar to messages in the books ) . originally erik survived the holocaust and i like the message his original jewish creators wanted to send when making him. he is someone who never wants to see his people or any people violently oppressed and killed & movies don’t quite capture it too well ( besides some of the older original x-men movies actually ) but i resonate with him. through love and compassion and a firm hand against oppressors, uniting with people to help formulate and continue to form a better world for everyone is always worth it to me. what people misunderstand about him? portrayals have made him cruel & i think that in ways he is, he’s cold and weirdly detached but he’s also driven by love , intense love & i really wish people would remember that.

2. spider man / peter parker : once again , jewish , poor , for the people , down to earth. peter parker is a light hearted character despite who and what he’s always up against ( i’m not looking at the mcu , i’m looking a little bit at TASM and the original spider man movies. i’m peeking at them ) but i do just love how he doesn’t let the world beat him down, though it’s interesting to look at points in his comics where he IS taken to his limits. he makes me feel safe, i know he’s not real. i’d leave cool things out on my fire escape for him, he has so much genuine kindness and heart, i really adore this character and a lot of his variations ( see spider man 2099 / miles morales / spider gwen / esp 2099 ……. mmm miguel ANYWAYS ) also like parallels with venom too , love venom but imma put him in with pete bc i haven’t read too many of his comics. the mcu has misunderstood this dude a whole lot, but people tend to make him a bit too serious lately, and i enjoy diving into that side of him, but i think peter is genuinely really good at seeing the good in people / seeing ways their lives could be better if nudged onto the right path. also he doesn’t like billionaires.

3. the punisher / frank castle : i’m not a fan of a lot of his cartoon appearances and portrayals to be a cold hearted military man , as he hates cops and the military & the gov. i like his netflix show , i really enjoyed that actually. frank castle lost everyone he cares about and the media surrounding him usually never focuses on how his code makes solid differences / protects people ( except the show. god. i’m emotional. ) anyways i have a thing for characters who are emotionally destroyed but still do good bc that’s the only fucked up way they feel they can still do good. EVERYONE THINKS HES PRO COP OR PRO MILITARY OR ANTI LGBT? HES NOT? HES WITH THE LGBTS , THE GAYS , THE MINORITIES! HES NOT A RACIST EITHER! HE HATES RACISTS HE’LL MURDER RACISTS!

4. comic book scarlett witch / wanda maximoff : romani representation that’s mostly done nicely , i really actually relate to this character a lot , and find catharsis in her. she suffers greatly, probably too much, but she works her way through it, she’s powerful and kind and vengeful and angry and beautiful. she’s wise and confident and loses that and regains it, she reminds me of the wheel of fortune card in my deck, constantly embodying things that should have killed her. once again, i know she isn’t real, but i do relate to her and love to see her happy and winning, she’s brave and strong and i hate her MCU portrayal , truly, but i love her comic book self! god ok. people misunderstand her a lot, esp mcu …….she’s not ‘ i’m tired of being good >:) i wanna be a bag guy now! she’s more ‘ i loved very deeply and i cling to that because i cannot imagine who i will be if i acknowledge that what i loved is gone and i cannot get it back ‘ vs ‘ i can remake myself over and over if i need to , i contain all i need ‘

5. night crawler / kurt wagner: god. ok. his design fucks so severely i want that man to give me a hug , pick me up and spin me around , ok? did you jot that down? we got that? i know he smells nice , i know he does. his smile is so sweet to me , very playful. i enjoy how hard he works to be a good person, how he doesn’t take short cuts or let his past dictate him ( idk what the fuck was going on with his movie portrayal in those early x men movies i watched as a kid ) but in some of the animated shows and def the comics i have fallen hard for this man , i know he’s not real. i know. shh. but yes! the way he has quips too, idk i really enjoy him overcoming odds and projected bullshit he has to face, you and i just 🤝 gotta shake hands here ok we are shaking hands. hm. people think he’s naive or an idiot, they misunderstand his hope and warmth, it comes from a place of understanding hatred and choosing to rise above that, so.

( bonus!! ) 6. lanterns: i dont have a favorite lantern ( i’m lying it’s razor , hal & guy. ) but i love all my mutuals who make the lanterns more interesting than anything dc has done recently. i miss GLTAS , i miss when hal wasn’t reduced to a total dickhead , i love the headcanons that GLS are weirdly ageless and have wonky fashion sense , i love all my mutuals art and stuff i just love it. i loe space adventures i love fucked up shit going on out there in the big old galaxy. i love razor bc of GLTAS and his development, i miss him and IO and i hope he’s doing ok. but yes! this subgroup of heroes ( i also miss when dc didn’t make them a weird military thing and i love reminding people it’s an honor based volunteer service only given to those as highest honor. lol ) omg ppl stop saying they’re the military shut the fuck up theyre gays in space!

SPOILERS FOR SPIDER-MAN NO WAY HOME!!!!!!! PLEASE SCROLL IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IT YET!

LAST WARNING

This movie really had me tearing up/crying 4 times huh?

1. When Aunt May…. Ya know…. and Peter being comforted on the roof by MJ and Ned. Their love and friendship that those three have for each other is very well shown here. Also Aunt May saying with great power comes great responsibility is a really nice touch.

2. Peter saying goodbye to Strange. Peter was willing to give up everything to save everything, and I think Strange didn’t want to make the spell. He didn’t want to ruin Peter’s life and he didn’t want to forget Peter, because they’re friends. But both of them know they have to, and the respect they both have for each other at the end is really touching.

3. Peter saying goodbye to Ned and MJ. I mean this one is obvious but im gonna talk about it anyways. I straight up could not fathom what it would be like to have to say goodbye to your best friend and girlfriend. Not because one of you is gonna die, but because one of you will forget the other one ever existed. The way they wanted to come up with a plan so they didn’t have to forget was heartbreaking. The final handshake with Ned. MJ saying that she’ll find out who Peter is if Peter doesn’t tell her. The final kiss with MJ. MJ saying I love you and not letting Peter say it back because she wanted him to say it when they’re back together. Her mouthing I love you (i think) to him again before he leaves them. The whole scene was so beautiful and one of the most tragic scenes in the MCU.

4. The scene in the Cafe after everyone doesn’t remember Peter. God, this shit hurt. Peter practicing what he’s gonna say to them (probably because he didn’t rehearse what he was gonna say to the MIT woman). The fact that Peter, for a second, thought MJ was waving at him and remembered at him. The looks that MJ and Peter give each other. It’s obvious that Peter wants to tell her about everything so bad but he knows that he shouldn’t, not yet at least. And, to me at least, MJ looked like she faintly knew Peter, but she could place it or she didn’t know why she would know him. The acting in this scene is incredible and I will literally die if we don’t get a Peter and MJ reunion sometime in the next Spidey trilogy.

In conclusion, this movie was amazing, phenomenal, superior, incredible. I loved basically every moment of it, and HiTop Films is really stupid with his ranking of this movie.

Sebastian Stan Joins Julianne Moore In ‘Sharper’ Con Artist Pic From Apple Original Film & A24

EXCLUSIVE: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier‘s leading man Sebastian Stan will star alongside Oscar winner Julianne Moore in Apple Original Film and A24’s Sharper, we can tell you first.

Sharper follows a con artist, played by Moore, set in Manhattan’s billionaire echelon. The pic is based on the spec screenplay by Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka, which was recently named to the 16th annual The Black List. Stan will play Max, a clever conman known for carrying out complicated plans and making away with large sums of money. In the film he’s pulled into another scheme.

Emmy- and BAFTA-nominated Benjamin Caron (The Crown, Sherlock) is directing. Moore will produce alongside Bart Freundlich, Gatewood, Tanaka and Erik Feig and Jessica Switch of Picturestart. Julia Hammer of Picturestart will serve as EP.

Stan is beloved for playing Bucky Barnes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His MCU movies which include the Captain America trilogy and Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame have together grossed $7.08 billion worldwide. He recently starred in the first season of Disney+/Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier reprising Barnes; the series’ premiere and finale are ranked among the most-watched for Disney+ at 1.6 million households (3-day) and 1.7M households (5-day) per streaming analytics company Samba TV.

As an actor, Stan has transitioned from the MCU to character-driven stories. He wraps production this week on Hulu’s Pam & Tommy which will come out next year. He also has the film 355 coming out on January 7, starring opposite Jessica Chastain. He also has Fresh with Daisy Edgar Jones which will also come out next year for Legendary. Other feature credits include the Oscar-winning I, Tonya and the Nicole Kidman cop noir feature Destroyer among others.

Stan is repped by CAA, Brookside Artist Management and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern.

Sharper reps Moore’s second project with Apple following the limited series Lisey’s Story, a deeply personal thriller from creator Stephen King, in which she stars and executive produces. It is currently streaming globally on Apple TV+.

In addition to Sharper, Apple and A24’s feature film partnership includes The Tragedy of Macbeth, the latest film from Oscar winner Joel Coen and starring Oscar winners Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand; On the Rocks, from Oscar winner Sofia Coppola and starring Rashida Jones and Bill Murray; the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize winner Boys State, which is nominated for two Primetime Emmys; and the upcoming YA adaptation The Sky is Everywhere, directed by Josephine Decker and starring Grace Kaufman, Cherry Jones and Jason Segel.
