#of course it's bad! it's marvel!

[sciderman]

I was so pumped for the Deadpool variants, buying the merchandise with Headpool in it. Excitedly talking about (FOR MONTHS) my theories that it'll be a Deadcorps movie. Hyping myself up, giving myself so much hope. I had so much hope.

Only for my darling Headpool to say 3 words and float around in horrid cgi. (Normally, bad cgi charms me, but this movie had a budget over 200 million.) And the variants to have, what? 20 minutes? A 20 minute, non plot relevant gore fest for sickos to get their rocks off

I'm crushed, and the best parts of that movie were the intro fight with *NSYNC and the car fight. I think you could watch both those scenes and have more fulfilment than the whole movie.

Anyways, you're like the only other person I know who shares my opinion on this movie.

god bless you @neat-username - i'm so sorry the head(pool) was disappointing for you - i hope you can get much better head(pool) elsewhere. here is some zombie headpool from ask-spiderpool, that might tickle your pickle. watch my reblogs for more sweet, sweet head(pool...) just for you, @neat-username, my beloved.

the cgi in this movie was. awful. but i think that's just mcu tradition now. i don't know. i hate this recurring thing now where someone says "this was bad" and my only response is "of course it's bad. it's marvel."

harley, sitting up and clearing his throat: you know, I suddenly feel better. the world is such a beautiful place. I’m doing great, actually.

I was thinking on when Steve lost Bucky for the 3rd time (1st when he was drafted, 2nd when he was told he was MIA, 3rd when he fell) he tried to get drunk to forget, right? If he did that then...

What did he do when he lost him for the 6th time? (4th when he escaped, 5th when Bucky was in cryo, 6th the snap)

I mean technically Bucky died twice, but Steve lost him six times already.

And of he tried to get blind drunk once of those times- did he self-harm in other ways too?

To dull the pain? He can't get drunk, he heals quickly, he can't die easily either, so what did he do?

He wouldn't want to die when he knows for a fact that Bucky is alive ofc, but I can't see him acting normally or without a little bit of reckless energy.

To dull the pain and disappoinment (he can't feel like that, that's Bucky's choice -Cryo-. But how it hurts him tho).

(unrelated to this line of thought but it is relevant to the idea regardless)

That's why I can't fathom the idea of Steve abandoning Bucky in endgame.

He lost him 6 six (6) times already and he just... Went away? To a woman he only kissed once? After all he did for him, the pain and loss?

Even if you don't ship them, you have to think that to be really ooc on Steve's part. Everything in his character arc in the MCU is related to Bucky (and loss). Yes he liked Peggy, but he didn't suffer nor mourn her the same way he mourned Bucky (She was alive, but had dementia and was also very old, and had her own life).

His feelings for Peggy were more a "what if" and lost possibilities than anything.

She was an idea, a fantasy (that's why Wanda used that when fighting with him, right?). Not something real.

He wanted to be with her, but he didn't really knew her or love her (at least I don't think so).

She was the first woman that saw him for him after all. Before everything. But that's it.

He liked her for that (and her strong personality too) but did he love her? He didn't try to get on dates after he was defrosted because he knew people would only see Captain America, not Steve Rogers. He needed to represent an ideal and knew no one would understand (the pain, loss) and have the patience to be with him. That’s why he also highlighted the shared life experience thing.

So she was comforting, reassuring in a toxic and unhealthy kind of way (memories and fantasy aren't healthy when used like that). But still a what if and lost opportunity. He had to let her go at one point. And he did(!) But they had to fuck it up…

I mean... it's the same thing when you're still hung up on an ex. You want to think of the possibilities, the what ifs, the "what could have been" But when you go back to them nothing is like you remembered, nothing is like you wanted and you are dissatisfied and disappointed.

(Because all of that was in your head, it wasn't real).

And besides, he knew she had a life of her own (a fulfilling one at that) so what, he was selfish enough to fuck that up too? Without helping HIM? Without saving HIM? Abandoning HIM? After just being brought to life? After grieving him for another five years? Bucky was his best friend, his companion, his best pal…

He wouldn't do that to him. He would die before hurting Bucky (as they already stablished for most of the fucking movies) He even was like “You don’t understand” when Peggy talked to him in the bars ruins.

I think in canon (not ooc/EG)Steve would entertain the idea, but would decide to just keep it as that: An idea, a fantasy. And move on like he already did before.

Also the idea that it was a Peggy from an alternative universe is flawed because he abandoned HIS Bucky, even if in the other universe he helped or whatever.

In HIS UNIVERSE he abandoned his best friend? Not believable. And the logic of “oh it didn’t change their timeline because it was another one” is also stupid.

They already fucked up with Steve fighting 2012!Steve and also telling him about Bucky (creating another universe more than likely). And they were supposed to be undetected. Not create new universes. Thats also why I’m so keen on the idea of Steve being in a prison or something. He already fucked up once, twice if you think he went to the past to stay.

How can he be free while fucking up the timelines? Yeah, nah.

Also… they implied Steve can’t age in a movie if I remember correctly…. How did he become old?

And the idea that he went to Peggy because “Tony told him to have a life outside of captain america” is fucked up. So what? He relates his Bucky’s existence with work? FUCK OFF. Endgame Steve is fucked up and the worst character assassination I’ve ever seen.

They were just too annoyed with the fans because we ship Stucky (even tho they used that to promote the movies in panels and stuff, hypocrites -​I remember clearly the producers? of the movie talk about gay characters and the actors talk about Stucky in those panels for then…be one of the russos in like 1 second and have that shit ass, fuck ass ending for Steve and Bucky. That shit was vile-).

im also annoyed with some people that now shit on Steve when umh… did you see the movies? The other movies? Not only Endgame? (Btw the only one that got a “good ending” was Tony because he died as a hero in front of everyone -even tho he didn’t want to help at first because he had a good life, the ONLY ONE OF THEM might I add-, everyone else got worse, is dead or they’re neglected and treated as haha funny character or haha funny moment)

Im all for ships and ideas and headcanons (even when I hate them with passion, you do you) but don’t try and use this character assassination as an excuse to shit on Steve. If you NEED to shit on a character for your ship to work, then you’re not doing a good job at it or your ship sucks. Idk what to tell you.

“You break the rules and become the hero, I do it and I become the enemy. That doesn’t seem fair.” - Wanda Maximoff

This quote is reflective of the treatment from fans of certain female characters within fictional media. It is reflective of the misogynistic tendencies that fandom spaces subconsciously have towards female characters. It’s reflective of the way popular male characters, who share traits with the less popular female characters, are deemed as ‘blorbos’/‘poor meow meows’ and have fans justifying/explaining their actions but the female characters are labelled as ‘annoying’/‘a bitch’/‘unreasonable’.

Interesting, don’t you think?

[oncillaphoenix]

got my wires crossed in my sleep and, for a few seconds after i woke up, was dead certain that Colress was a Marvel character

[un-pearable]

oh yeah saw blue beetle last night and one million thumbs up. going into having heard it’s very tokusatsu and comic booky made it one million times better. goofy and stupid in fun ways. i’m so glad we’ve looped back around to comic book movies being like comic books: confusing chronologically and catered to fans willing to put up with wildly specific nonsense. also heck of a great job making a movie about gentrification and colonization out of the chaos of blue beetle lore and corporate blandification i genuinely had fun

[annabelle--cane]

it is fun to do the whole glib "evan hansen did nothing wrong" thing but also whenever I rewatch a bootleg I am like. well fuck. what WOULD I do in this situation.

[highfantasy-soul]

On the one hand, I love weekly drops for episodes because you get time to sit with each section of the story and really dig into it.

On the other hand, some people don't quite understand that characters can say/believe something at the beginning of the series and then - gasp - grow and change through the episodes so that by the end, they don't believe that thing anymore!

Also, what a character believes isn't necessarily the 'message' the writers are pushing - the character could have a flawed world view that turns out to be in need of change.

Anyways, apropos of nothing, Loki s2e4 was great, huh? Nice little debate about philosophy between two characters - neither of which has the 100% right idea at the moment and events might transpire to get one or both of them to alter their 'goals'.

Almost like media isn't there to be a guide to life you need to follow word for word but rather an exploration of fantastical problems and how flawed characters deal with it through their own, limited frame of reference

Yk, I hate that adaptations keep making Peter a high schooler, and not just because it means he never evolves, but because the adaptations now also include wider Marvel, whitch usually (thanks to the MCU) is at the modern day stage with legacy characters and new age teen heroes, meaning that Peter is taking up Miles' spot and you can really tell when they put him next to someone like Kamala Khan or Sam Alexander who are Miles' pals. Tho Peter taking Miles' stuff is just a modern issue overall, just look at MCU whitch just stole and re-skinned Miles' personality, characters, story-beats, even the costume to an extent and then made it worse.

agree 👏

Seeing that panel of Riri talking about what "happened" with the Ten Rings has pissed me off. It could have been an excellent story, but all it wound up being was off-panel magic corruption again and all we got to see was a couple of mediocre "character moments" (one of which with someone that she has never interacted with before) before the entire thing was thrown away.

All because Marvel's worst character usurped the entire Iron Man comic for the X-M*n's latest failure. Is the plot where Tony is reverse engineering black market weapons ever going to make a reappearance? I highly doubt it. Just another casualty of the perennial failures of the X-M*n.

And because I can't help myself, let me winge again about how they ruined Ms. Marvel! Killed her off, begging for validation from a white man she barely knows in his mediocre comic in which she was barely a cameo! All to replace her with a bootlicking prop for the X-M*n to parade around! Erasing years of character development so that she'd be desperately hunting for validation from people she's never met! So that she'd need to be lectured about how discrimination works by a blonde white girlboss criminal who happens to be the same character that destroyed the Ironheart plot line I wanted to read!

The Champions are probably never getting another comic, now that their friend and leader's bootlicking replacement has discarded her family and friends to push the X-M*n's stupid little ethnostate. And that means we're probably never seeing Snowguard or Nova again in any significant manner.

It's disgusting. Insulting. And I honestly should probably just blacklist Marvel entirely, since everything I like could be ruined by the X-M*n's witless swill at any moment.

What a disgrace.

[ncutii-gatwa]

idk movies nowadays just don’t excite me anymore

[liaswritesrobots]

Trying to figure out what to all my AU with rotting Starscream and glitched Galvatron. I know it would sound cool as fuck to call it Ruin/Ruins but also I don't wanna seem like I'm ripping off the marvel comics of the same name since they have a similar premises of "everything goes to shit"

[nostalgia-tblr]

but i don't actually want to unlearn the lesson from watching dr who that aliens with seemingly magical powers who tell you that they're gods are almost certainly the baddies

[transpanda-1]

🍦You know we had low expectations of the Harley Quinn comic featuring Annie finally after years, but we didn't think "please don't explicitly portray this character as a minor and have her dress up as a scantily clad vegas performer" was a bar we even needed to consider
