If I had two nickels for each time in the 2020s where a fat guy had a cool fight scene in a thunderstorm, I’d have two nickels.

That’s not much, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

umbrella academy season 4

five and lila, context

I’m so happy i wasn’t the only utterly grossed out and disgusted by Lila’s and Fives relationship.

Five didnt even get out of his school boy uniform till season 3 now your throwing him in a relationship with a woman 15 years older than him. This isnt the early 2000’s anymore, and lots of your watchers have already gone through their Pretty little liars faze and realized how disgusting and toxic arias and Ezra's relationship is.

Also still dosent work the other way cause now you’re throwing a 58 year old man at a 35 year old woman. Still 15 years senior, just slightly less disgusting because at least in that case shes not barely legal anymore.

additional context.

Rita (lillas actress) born; 1988

I’ve been seeing a lot of people (myself included) distraught over the fact that Loki did not exactly reunite with Thor, at least in the way that we all imagined at the end of the series. However, I would like to provide an alternative means of interpreting this that will either give you a means of coping or render you torn to pieces. Loki says “The sun will shine on us again,” and we are led to assume that this means that Loki and Thor will physically be within each other’s presence. Despite this, this obviously never happens at the end of the series: Loki’s supposed ending. While I’m sure my interpretation is flawed and has a few holes in it, I’d like for everyone to consider the fact that TVA Loki might BE the sun. Like the sun is to Earth, Loki is distant from his brother, but still in his presence. From his new position as the God of Stories and keeper of the multiverse, he is able to see Thor in every universe where he exists. He can change the story, and he can protect him. If we are going by the somewhat flimsy logic circulating around that he is the reason why the time stone is green, we can also assume his influence has stretched before Infinity War, and so is his influence in what occurs in the narrative. Thor never gets snapped. Thor survives the ship explosion after his Loki’s death. Thor defeats Gorr: a relentless god killer. Thor is able to find a purpose in caring for Love. All of these things could have been TVA Loki’s doing: his means of ensuring his brother’s safety and recovery from traumatic events throughout the Infinity Saga and also Phase 4. Not to mention, he is watching himself and Thor together in other universes. Universes where they might be happier. Universes where they may be at war with each other. Universes where they’re still young, when favoritism hasn’t driven them apart yet. He will always be looking after Thor and their relationship. He is the sun that shines on them in every universe.

Or I might be absolutely wrong and delusional and sad and in awe over what the fuck just happened-

THE MARVEL SPOILIES

Sooooo carol and Valkyrie totes hooked up right?

Also why was it literally the best movie I’ve ever seen

Also YAY KATE BISHOP IM SO EXCITEDDDDDDDDDD the younger gen is so fun and I can’t wait to see what they do

this movie was so much fun for once!!! The chemistry between the actresses was soooooo good. Carol and Valkyrie are totally a thing 😌

Yeah... i'm kinda mad that i knew she was in the movie but i totally didn't expect kamala to recruit her??? And the jokes??? I need their movie or tv show ASPA.

Kamala was such a delight the entire movie. I love Iman so much and i hope she had fun!!

[leos-regression-cove]

I sat in my kitchen and just read aloud 2 unpublished chapters to my cat, did the voices, and laughted at all my own jokes. This is truly what writing is about. It was like a double shot of espresso but straight dopamine instead of caffine to my brain. Pure anti-depressant morphine. An unparalleled feeling even though I'm just reading my own thoughts about my silly little jester blorbos.

[eyepatchdate]

ive had a ''fav superhero list" in my head for like a decade but im confirming it now. Dc only list: 1 is obviously superman. 2 is robin (all of them). 3 is blue beetle (also all of them). 4 is. Nightwing.

Immortal Thor #4 Reactions

Spoilers for Immortal Thor.

Note to self: I will not make a post comparing Odin's Rune-Song and St. Patrick's Breastplate. This is a Loki blog, I have already made a vaguely Christian post (not counting the Christmas movie post), and I hate Odin. I will not be more of a nerd than I already am.

YOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I'm not sure if she's too thrilled about this, but this is very cool.

"Please don't throw the hammer at me." "Ororo, throw the hammer at Loki." I'M DYING!

Toranos, if you kill Loki, I will become worthy of the power of Thor through the hunger for VENGEANCE. Get away from them, you FUCK.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH I'M SOBBING AND SHRIEKING AND LOSING MY MIND.

I'M DEAD GUYS THIS KILLED ME

(They do look a tad like a Property Brother, but it's fine.)

JAAAAAAAAAAAANE!!!!!!!!!!!

Noooooooo in-universe Marvel sold out to Roxxon??!!

Wait. Is Roxxon in-universe Disney?

(I mean technically the irl equivalent would be if Marvel sold out to Walmart.)

The fact that this horrific post-capitalist demon king CEO is not holding Journey into Mystery issue 85 is a crime.

[retrokid616]

k so is imogen seeing this place like in thor love and thunder?

[earthshaker1217]

Yes. Like Odin in this game a capitalist war patriarch. He creates and maintains an image of himself via distance and abuse tactics.

He verbally and psychologically abuses Thor to the point where Thor only views himself as a brute. "You don't think" is what Odin tells him, and Thor constantly says he doesn't like thinking when he's with Atreus/Loki in Niflheim.

He uses the ravens as a form of hyper-surveillance.

He offers people assistance, gifts, and resources, but with several strings attached. The minute they veer off the course he's set for them, he rescinds those things in peak manipulative fashion.

He creates a sense of elitism by having Asgard be as inaccessible as possible thus it's impossible for anyone to get a clear idea of him as a person.

He only knows how to take from the various realms to build up his own ego and everyone else just wrong for not seeing his vision.

Im REALLY loving how they made Odin a “manipulative mob boss” type, someone who rules with psychological presence, charisma rather than raw power and might.

A breath of fresh air compared to like… 99% “big fellas” in the series (2/3 of this group included) plus perfect sense Atreus would “vibe more” with him, since he’s never really been one for muscle talk.

[renegadesstuff]

So many parallels this season 🥺

Rockets Little Girl (Chapter 4)

WARNING: SPOILERS FOR GOTG HOLIDAY SPECIAL

Throughout the next few days Phoenix tried to catch up with her old friends. 

Groot had taken a whole afternoon to explain how they became the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' (a name, which he mentioned, only they called themselves). He told her about the dance off to save the universe and how he had saved everyone that day. 

Rocket had shown Phoenix all around the ship and even offered to give up his bed if she wanted to stay with them for the time being. 

"I just sayin', It's cheaper than those trashy hotel rooms ya' got" he reasoned. "No rent to waste units on here, kid." 

Phoenix furrowed her brow, "I'd love to Rocket. It's just not my ship, or your ship. It's Quill's." She was very apprehensive about moving in with strangers, especially since most were men. 

Rocket scoffed loudly, "Like he'll care! And besides, Groot wants ya to stay too." 

Phoenix sighed, Rocket was easily crumbling her original decision like a foot would to a fallen leaf. 

"Will ya' at least think about it?" He implored. 

She mulled over the thought, they truly did have plenty of space, and she could travel safely without always watching her back.

“I’ll think about it,” she conceded.  

Rocket seemed satisfied with her answer and started tinkering with some machinery.

"Ay, Rocket!" A voice from the cockpit rang out through the loud humming of the ship. 

"We got a ringer!" 

Rocket's ears perked up and he smirked wolfishly at Phoenix. She grinned as well. They were one step closer to getting off the planet. 

"what's the thing?" The racoon yelled still fiddling with the object suspiously shaped like a bomb.

Quill popped his head through the doorway "I dunno, dude said he wants to meet up in person to tell us more. "

Rocket groaned and ran a paw down his face. 

"We gotta talk to him? Is he a creep?" 

"Doesn't seem like it, just wants us to retrieve something and then we get paid. "

Rocket seemed to be pondering the pros and cons. 

" Could we die?”

Quill shrugged, "Probably." 

"I'm in. Groot will come too. "

Phoenix snorted, just like Rocket, a mention of life threatening projects and he went right along with it. 

Quill nodded and went back to, what Phoenix assumed was, answering the job offer. 

"So," Phoenix fiddled with her fingers, " Would it be a problem if I joined you guys?"

Rocket seemed to be spaced out, not truly listening as he packed a small satchel.

“Uh, Rocket?” the young woman tried again.

Quill jumped down the stairs, "Got the date set, it's a little walk from here.” he turned to the wall rummaging through the bins stacked up. He glanced back at Rocket “and what about the chick? She could-" 

Phoenix bristled at the man’s comment, "I'm right here. No need to talk about me like I'm not. "

"She goes with blondie." the raccoon retaliated with no hesitation.

“Hello? I can make my own decisions, guys.” Phoenix rolled her eyes, huffing at the childish behavior of the two adults. 

Quill looked back at Rocket defensively, "What's so wrong with going with me?"

Rocket stopped his rummaging and let out a guffaw, "HA- Is that really a question, Quill?"

……

Phoenix adjusted her outfit, the crew had let her borrow an extra leather jacket and pair of pants. The pants were slightly too long but the young woman sincerely didn't care, she stuffed her feet in her boots, which gave her an inch of height. 

The crew had just arrived at the designated bar; half of the guardians had decided to stay back to be less conspicuous and Phoenix was stuck at Rocket's side like glue. She absentmindedly started fiddling with the blaster holster on her thigh as they started walking off the ship.  

At the thought of a new adventure, Phoenix couldn't stop a grin from spreading across her face. This was her first time, in a long time, working as a group and she couldn't be more excited.

She drifted to the front of the group next to Thor. 

The group made their way through the rough roads, if they could even be called that, while Phoenix practically spun in circles, trying to take everything in at once. The smells were so strange even just in a different part of town. 

Being so caught up in the scenery was a blessing and a curse it seemed, because not even a second after that she tripped over her own feet and stumbled right in to Thor.

“Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! ” she covered her mouth and ducked her head, embarrassed at her incoordination. 

Thor smiled and airily spoke,  “There's no reason to be sorry, you're enjoying the adventure and, quite frankly, I'm enjoying seeing you enjoy it.” he chuckled and patted the young woman on the shoulder. 

Phoenix flushed, she hadn't realized any one had noticed her excitement.

 “Look, here we are! ” he announced to the group before stepping forwards to open the door. 

The young adult stepped to the side to allow Quill and Rocket through first.

She studied the building as she walked through the door, it was full of people and shouts of arguments hit her as if they were a train. 

The smell of this bar was not pleasant she realized as she followed right behind Rocket.

Phoenix felt all the eyes on them as they walked through the rundown bar. A shiver ran down her spine. Rocket must have noticed because right then he reached his paw out and nudged the female’s fingers.

“You need to leave?” He asked quietly whilst glaring around the pub.

Phoenix shook her head timidly. 

 Rocket nodded in understanding, “Just stay by Thor.”

“Of course.” She paused to allow Thor to catch up before she continued following Quill and Rocket

Rocket grumbled “Where's this idiot then?”

Quill glared down at the furry creature, “He said-”

“Ah, you must be Star-Lord, glad to see you and your crew made it.” Came a voice to the groups left. 

A man with a purple collared shirt and black vest was sitting in a corner booth.

Phoenix felt oddly comfortable around the man, for being a complete stranger, he had an aura of calm about him. 

Quill strutted forwards and crossed his arms, “Yeah that’s me, you called about the job?”

“Yes. Now please, sit, drinks are on me.” the stranger smiled warmly. 

The group took their seats warily, “Stranger danger.” Phoenix chuckled to herself. As she waited for the others to scooch in, Thor beat her to it and gestured for the young woman to go first, before sitting down between her and Quill. 

A waitress came by taking their orders, all the while making obvious googly eyes at Quill. Phoenix paid no mind to this but Rocket seemed to mind quite a bit, he coughed loudly, muttering “Idiot” and then turned to the nicely dressed man.

“Okay, let’s get on with it. What's the deal, hummie?”

“Well, my name is Cinna. Now, a friend of mine was unfortunately- how do I put this, taken hostage by a very unfriendly group of individuals and I would greatly appreciate having him back.”

Rocket snorted, “Yeah, sounds realistic.” he muttered.

Quill glared warningly at the raccoon before rearranging his scowl into a smirk, and turning back to Cinna.  “Sounds simple. We could pull off a rescue mission in our sleep.”

The dark haired man chuckled. “This is going to be a bit different than just a rescue mission, my friends.” 

Rocket growled at this, “Listen bub, we've saved the universe twice now. Almost three times. Just tell us what we need to know so that way we can go on our happy little way and get paid.”

Phoenix could feel the irritation rolling off of her old friend but couldn't help the small grin that snuck on her face. 

“I have all the information here,” Cinna pulled a folder from his bag, placing it on the table. 

“If the plan is carried out correctly, there shouldn't be any issues.”

………..

 Phoenix was walking with Thor and Mantis, all three donning old blankets to act as disguises and to blend in with the crowds. The people here were a lot less friendly on this side of the town, small groups huddled around the door sides of buildings, their whispering adding to the scarce chatter. 

There was no sound of laughter or small children running and playing on this side of the city.   

As they neared the end of an alley Thor held his hand out behind him, as to nonverbally say “stop”

Phoenix held her breath as the god stuck his head around the corner. 

He nodded back to the two females and continued forwards.

When they had been at the meet point for a few minutes Phoenix was sure something had gone wrong, the crew wasn't here yet but there was nothing exploding or any alarms going off. 

“Shouldn't they be out by now?”

“There is no need to be worried, it is okay.” Mantis reassured “My brother will get the person we are here for. ”

Phoenix was puzzled “Your brother? Who?”

Mantis seemed to be trying to smile “Peter. He is my half brother, we had the same father. Peter and the guardians saved me and the rest of the universe from our father.”

Phoenix smiled back comfortingly and placed a hand on the other woman's shoulder “You sound very proud of him. He seems to be a good person.”

Mantis nodded before a look crossed her face “He is. Oh-”

An explosion cut off whatever she was going to say, and Thor turned triumphantly to both ladies. “There's the signal!”

Phoenix’s ears were ringing from the bomb Rocket had most definitely put together. Shaking her head to rid her slight deafness she scurried after the two. 

They ditched the blankets as they climbed through the hole in the wall and were immediately met with multiple guns and a red alarm light flashing and screaming. 

“PUT YOUR HANDS UP!” One of the armored men bellowed at the group of the three. 

Thor chuckled, “Hello! Sorry to barge in but it seems you have something we need very much, so if you would just step out of the way-”

A gunshot to the ceiling broke through the small speech Thor had created. The god’s face hardened and he held his hand out to the side , “Looks like we're doing this the hard way then.”

On queue Stormbreaker flew to Thor's hand. Phoenix was sure, if it had not been for the blaring alarm, she would have heard thunder rumbling in the distance.

Phoenix glanced around for Mantis but the alien woman had left Phoenix's side. The amount of giddiness and excitement running through her veins was empowering. She was tempted to take out her blaster but decided against it for the time being. 

“Phoenix, stay behind me.” Thor spoke calmly as he threw Stormbreaker into the small crowd of armed men. The axe’s lightning fizzled out most of the guns while Mantis seemed to be dancing around the white hall, knocking people out with nothing but her empathic abilities. 

The guards were taken care of in a matter of seconds, not a single bullet hitting its target. 

And they were off, Phoenix's heart was racing but this was a different type of excitement, controlled almost, she was safe. As long as Mantis and Thor were there, nothing could harm the human woman. 

“That was amazing! ” she said to no one in particular, turning to the other two she continued as they speed-walked down the halls “You guys are absolutely amazing!” 

Thor smiled warmly and Mantis bowed her head bashfully. Both otherworldly beings thanked the human. 

Everytime the trio ran into a guard or armored being, Thor and Mantis would take turns knocking them unconscious.

Over the alarm she could hear yells and sounds of, what Phoenix assumed were, the guardians blasters getting closer and closer echoed through the halls. 

The shouting was getting louder and louder as they turned the next corner

There was the part of the team they were supposed to be meeting with. Quill and Nebula along with an absolutely stunning man were running for their lives while still shooting at the oncoming guards. 

“Ah! Friends!” Thor exclaimed while launching Stormbreaker into the crowd, frying what seemed to be all of the electronics “Good to see you all in one piece, is the rabbit and the rest still meeting us in the set pick up spot?”

“They better be!” Quill growled, shooting the opposing men and women down. 

The group of ragtag heros’ ran to the exit of the building taking out any person standing in their way. 

Phoenix's lungs and legs were burning by now, she gasped for a breath but never slowed her pace, she had to keep up. There was no way she would be the reason the team was held back or slowed down. “I can rest when this is over.” she thought silently. 

Finally, running around the last corner, the exit door was in sight,  “almost there” she whispered gratefully.

Thor got to the door first and ushered the rest into a musty alleyway. The door slammed behind the group leaving behind the blaring alarm and white halls and they continued to sprint to the next alley.

Alley after alley the crew snuck as far away as possible. Soon they found a more crowded part of town, Phoenix took a deep breath. Most unfortunately, the air was thick with dust and it only made her cough.

“Everyone good-?” Quill whispered in between deep breaths. 

The responses he got were either “I'm fine”or “All good” 

“Just give me a second” was Phoenix's only reply she could think of. “I'd really ought to start jogging or something” she scolded herself. Unfortunately while her body was screaming for a nap and a shower, her mind must've been running at a hundred miles per minute. 

“Excuse me”

A voice right next to Phoenix startled her enough to jump slightly. 

The man they rescued chuckled “I apologize, I wasn't trying to scare you. I don't believe we've been acquainted yet,”

The beautiful man had the same aura that Cinna had . He automatically made Phoenix comfortable in his presence. 

The young woman gave a small smile. 

“Phoenix, and you are?”

"Finnick. Finnick O'Dair. Nice to meet you.”

if i had a nickel for every time natalie portman played a character who became a mother and then immediately died, i’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice

[aroacedevilcake]

Haven't seen it yet but I'm glad to know this one's not going to be like Thor 4

watching Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3 felt like saying goodbye to my high school friend group before we all left for different colleges, knowing that while we might keep in touch, we were never going to be this group ever again, and a huge chapter of our lives was over...and i can't remember the last time i cried that much in the theater.

perfect send-off. thank you James Gunn 💜
