#so no one would want to be the villain bc they would be harrassed

I think what the QSMP could use is a true "villain" character. Right now we have Cucurucho/the Federation as the main antagonist, but they are very separate from the players and have so much power that they feel wholly unapproachable. As much as the members have been fighting back against the Federation, a lot of that fight has stopped because they realize they cannot destabilize their power. But having an island member be the villain would band members against an enemy that there is an actual chance of taking down. And this villain would be so much more complex and intriguing by virtue of having human flaws and weaknesses.
Sure, we have characters that sympathize with the Federation, but no one really has bad intentions. I don't even consider q!quackity/elquackity a villain bc q!quackity is simply morally grey and elquackity is just a pawn of the Federation. But a real villain would be so fun to see. Like, just an objectively villainous guy: someone who is a downright sleazy motherfucker who runs the show and fucks everyone's life up. The mastermind who is power hungry and plays dirty. They can be tied to the origins of the island or not, either way I think it could really shake things up and bring an interesting dynamic to the server.
#my midnight thoughts lol#qsmp#obviously this would be hard bc there are people that will be assholes and can't differentiate rp from real life#so no one would want to be the villain bc they would be harrassed#but IMAGINE#im talking c!schlatt presidency arc level villain#evil laugh and all#maybe one of the new members will take up the role

axelle judges non bl shows > Chuamong Tong Mon
shitty summary: Cyn is struggling to make enough money to support her brother, her step-sister and her step-mother while being abused by the two women. Her horrible and painful life seems to be on the look up when she gets possessed by Mark, the ghost of an entertainment company’s CEO.
where to watch: dailymotion
grade: 8/10
pros:
- the characters were lovely. cyn could’ve been a super boring perfect main character but actually I think they did a great job showing her “perfection” as actually being flaws that manifested themselves throughout the show so she was easy to like and empathize with. mark was an icon and frankly carried the whole show. mate was a cutie omg, again kinda “perfect” main character but just quirky enough that I really liked him :)
- a main female character that’s not stick thin (nothing wrong with it btw, just pointing out how it’s the thai drama norm), that’s actually a bit tan AND both of these traits are not commented on or mocked??? I frankly thought I was dreaming, the whole time I was waiting for them to insult her and when it never happened I felt sooooo happy which... is kinda sad in itself tbh. sure, cyn’s character is supposed to not be super attractive but still, I’ll still take the fact that they didn’t belittle her & ride this happiness until I die lmao
- this show honestly has some great lessons about dealing with grief, not being too nice, unlikely friendships, etc. &... honestly there were some moments I was pretty damn moved, almost cried a couple of times.
- the ship was super cute, I really loved how respectful they were of each other and that most of the show is a game of push and pull with one another.
- also they had cyn carry mate, like... full on carry his full ass tall man weight as a short woman and it was shown as cute & romantic??? and I’ve seen the trope used in two kdramas before, and it’s always bc the woman has insane strength compared to the man but here cyn doesn’t, she just has regular strength and is carrying her wounded man and frankly... that was so pure & cute and changed so much from usual thai dramas where the woman always needs to be protected by the man like a poor fragile being. it was nice to see that it went both ways & frankly I adore that scene, it was so cute!!!
- the show was fun and entertaining, even if each episode was 2 hours long (yes I’m insane)
- kinda super specific to off jumpol’s fans, but... off playing a ship with leo saussay :)))
- the acting was good except for mark (see the cons), and I feel like the actors both did great in over the top funny scenes as well as more emotional scenes, especially mate’s actor towards the end of the show, loved it.
cons:
- what’s a lakorn without its villains, right? well here the villains were so damn over the top I wanted to punch their faces in a couple of times. which I guess is the goal, but take it down a notch please lmao
- the whole show feels pretty childish tbh, which again I’m pretty sure is the point but yeah it did feel like I was watching a show for 13 years old at times which also constrated greatly with some of the heavier tones of the show. I think it should’ve picked a demographic and stuck fully to it instead of doing this half & half thing.
- as much as it pains me bc I really like mark as a character, his actor’s acting... wasn’t really it for me. it wasn’t terrible either & I genuinely felt like in the last few eps he’d gotten better, but it did throw me off a lot during the show bc he would be smiling instead of looking sad & I was disturbed lmao
- as most thai shows, sadly this one also portrays more effeminate gay men as inherently flirty, seductive and frankly bordering on harrassment which obviously fucking sucks & needs to stop. I’m not saying they can’t ever have an effeminate gay man be flirty, but it being the only representation of effeminate gay men in thai media is definitely problematic. especially since here it’s on a show that promotes equality and love towards others.
would I rewatch: probably not bc it’s hella long
Overall this was pretty fun & I did like how different from usual lakorns it seems to be. It had some good social commentary & also advice and I really enjoyed the characters. It’s not the best show ever but I would still recommend it!
#chuamong tong mon#axelle judges non bl shows#bypiningbisexuals#sorry I couldn't use a gif of cyn & mark as I'm the only one who giffed the show lol#so enjoy off looking super pretty :)

In this show they pretend that these men and women are IN THEIR TWENTIES. THEIR EARLY TWENTIES. THEY ARE ALL AT LEAST 35!!!!
it’s an incredibly crazy psyche that theyre characterising for the emperor - he can dote on his consorts but not love them...hm
YINGLUO AND THE EMPEROR’S EVERY FUCKIN INTERACTION IS SO GOOD
E: don’t you want a nice life?
Y: you put me here so uhhhh -nah obviously what use is wishing hello
E: you could beg me
Y: lol nope
Emperor literally pulls out all the stops to get her to go through the process to give him an excuse to pardon her
fuheng is not at all handsome but he’s nice looking. love how you can see the mongol influences in the clothing
why is the wedding so insular
lol. double standards there. yingluo has to walk in a snowstorm for 24 hours and fuheng gets a promotion and a wife. lovely
they look enormously handsom in their winter clothes
literally tears in my eyes over fuheng saying: ‘she must be so cold. so cold’ AAAAAAA
damn yan - that umbrella’s really helpin. he probably told her: DONT DO IT. ITS NOT WORTH IT
erqing wanting to be free isn’t bad. but revelling in being able to admire the snow while yingluo is dying in it s abit much
the weird thing about the show now is - why isn’t the empress more upset??
lol emperor realises empress was right. poor fuheng...
he really elevated her to concubine status???? fuckin hell. she’s gonna hate him.
if this veers into ACTUAL romance between yingluo and the emperor ill be fuckin upset
YOUR MAJESTY, WHY FORCE OTHER PEOPLE? LOL she’s really talking around the fact that she IS unwilling
.............................................................uh. they did make the emperor a rapist! INTERESTING CHOICE with how the keep skirting around how much of a monster he is
but wei yingluo instantly adapts and uses what he said against him. wow fuckin hell. they won’t let the implications of how much of a piece of shit emperor is stick i spose. bc yingluo plays him like a fiddle. she perfectly replicates the horrible speech patterns of the harem women. she asks for AN INCREDIBLY INSANE RANK OF COURSE. the plaintive ‘your majesty!’ - the crying! oh my god - she’s so good. HE ACTUALLY BELIEVES HER. god he’s so dumb.
‘i will never want a woman with ulterior motives’ - WELL THEN, you’re out of luck with your harem dude
what. oh right. the empress was depressed or something. jfc. yingluo went through the fuck snow for her.
why is the empress so mad? what the fuck is up with this now. wHy??????? what the fuck is going on???? this empress doesn’t communicate honestly AT ALL.
‘if not for protecting me, you wouldn’t have become caught up in power struggles’ uhhhhhhhhhhh she was throwing her life away on revenge lady. and throwing her out of the palace won’t protect her at all. shes sending yingluo away bc she sees her whole household going down. well maybe you could have ARRANGED something for her in another palace maybe? OH WOW the empress can RELEASE PEOPLE FROM THE PALACE???
THEY HUG!!! THEY”RE HUGGING!!!!!!!!
how did that one eunuch survive
i wonder if this is a convention for the drama of the series. i would have guests announced ALWAYS so they can’t overhear shit!
the DRAMATIC theme is used so much it’s getting annoying
they didn’t have budget for portraying the maids in the palace
it sure sucks when you have so little freedom and an ideal vision of married life bc that’s at best all you’re afforded
the wounds and disease on this show are always so shit
couldn’t you have given the girl some compensation for getting tortured???
married life does not agree with erqing. why does she write letters to her grandfather? because she wants to have just a little bit of power. why does she go MAD with bloodlust? because it’s what she feared to be the victim of - what she was taught.
oh Fuheng - you’re such a good man.
but terrible at marriage. she didn’t even kill the woman (yet).now you’ve ruined shit entirely between Erqing and you even though you’re kind of responsible for her paranoia and loneliness. oh patriarchy
‘what have i done wrong?’ - she really really doesn’t get it lol. her mind draws a blank even though fuheng told her. she’s like - all the other women in my position act like this! im trying to be a good wife! ya. he’s quite different
exaclty lol - you’re locked in marriage now so then you’re just
they’re casting erqing as a villain for not wanting to be sent into the KILLING FIELDS of the forbidden palace to serve some cruel mistress and delighting in no longer running the risk of being ground underfoot
feminism? Yes! anti-hierarchy/class system? NO!
fuheng really is quite shitty to his wife - a wife he chose and he thinks simply helped him preserve Yingluo’s life. He should be a lot nicer to her
Erqing doesnt want to talk about how she could learn from this - or say sorry - or make up for her mistake or reconcile. she just wants to run and hurt who’s hurt her. it’s really exceptional how they lampshade the absolutely bullshit character change they’ve given her lol
Erqing came here especially to harrass Yingluo and she’s getting SLAPPED. literally lol
‘all the citizens in this empire are my children’ - oh rlly. you dont treat them so good then.
and he does cry. look! the show says, look the emperor has a heart! he loved his son!!! but he’s too proper to cry!!!!
can’t believe im only halfway in this goddamn show

honest opinions on ww84 GO
under the cut so i wont spoil anyone
DAMN is it straight like. diana is ALL about steve. i get that she loves him and i guess patty chose him as something diana could sacrifice to show how selfless she actually is but. my god girl is the dick that good???? let it go
it wasnt clear to me how steve got back into that dude’s body. was diana the only one able to see him and everyone else saw the actual guy? or was he steve for everyone??? idk i was confused at that part but maybe i didnt pay attention or just didnt get it
cheetah was... not it for me lmao. barbara has always turned into cheetah because she gets in contact with something about.... cheetah. its always some kind of goddess or spirit that has smth to do with this feline divinity or magic being or whatever. ww84 barbara wished she was more like diana. ok fair. then she wishes to be something unique and at some point says she wants to be like a predator and then she becomes this cat like woman????? where did the stone get that from?? is it that literal???? idk seems weird to me
i dont care for barbara’s reasoning either. she wanted to stay like that bc no one would talk to her at lunch???? news flash bitch we’re all socially awkward and no one has friends!!!!! like boo hoo im a white thin woman and men wont fuck me :((( grow up go to therapy
HOWEVER. i do like her final cheetah look and how she beat the shit out of the guy that harrassed her. that was sexy
the golden suit was made so asteria could take on the WHOLE world and it was fine but this one furry lady with self steem issues is actually able to rip the wings apart???
max lord was an ok villain. wasnt thrilled about him but it makes total sense to me that once a loser of a man gets some power he becomes the most destructive disgusting thing on the planet
pedro pascal looking all messed up with that bloody eye was good tho
when max was being broadcasted why didn’t his son’s wish come true??? and i guess all someone had to say was “i wish max would stop” or “i wish max would lose his powers” or “i wish everything would go back to normal” or anything like that and the problem would be solved?
ALSO. diana broadcasting the truth to everyone felt like a supergirl s1 type of thing. kara danvers did if first
the whole wish thing is. meh. i feel like i’ve seen this a million times before. “be careful what you wish for” zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
it was fun seeing steve back being impressed with the modern world and stuff it was cute he’s cute
diana looked delicious in the entire movie so cheers to that
i like the message of hope and how we should think about other people and be better. i think its very fitting for these shitty times we’re living
the amazons scene was so nice love me some themyscira action
LOVED lynda carter as asteria it was a little thing but it made me super happy
imo the movie feels like something straight out of a comic book which is good ig but its like a 5 issue average story that does the job but is not that impactful and people only read it bc they like the character and not the story itself

ok. listen i know i havent been here in ages and this isn’t an original idea but hear me out:
RWBY as a live action tv series, and our characters as the actors, actresses, and crew.
set in our world modern verse. featuring a small production company, employing and casting crew and actors from all over the world. not convinced yet? here’s why y’all should indulge me:
your muse canonically dead or afk? not anymore!! they produce the show now. or write it. or just hang out on the set when they’re free.
your muse a villain and hard to rp with other folk? not anymore!!! let them be pals with the most unlikely of other people. see how they deal with fndm hating their character. (or loving their char too much)
your char an oc? nOT ANYMORE. theyre canon chars now. maybe they write the show. direct. tell qrow off when he almost posts spoilers on twitter. ANYTHING
whats a crossover? the ocs you rp with are now actors/crew in their own universe’s movie/game/tv show. the chars from other fandoms are actors/crew in their source’s show/movie/game.
your ship a rarepair u jump through hoops to put together? not anymore!! their actors are shacking up.
lbr we’re all suffering the hiatus. who needs canon material for this!! they’re in shooting for the eps that’ll air in october.
seriously, how easy would it be to get,, literally the entire community involved in something like this. TAG ME IF YOU DO!!! i wanna see what folk come up with!!
still not convinced? here’s some ideas i came up with, with the help of @iruzurru and @rosescattered. obv if i mention your muse and you wanna get in on this dont feel like you have to follow these!! these are just meant to inspire™
under the cut, cause lONG:
taiyang and summer club together every year to fund a holiday for the entire cast and crew to celebrate the end of a season. they buy out an entire plane for the journeys and instigate travelling songs
taiyang is a writer for the show who played ruby and yang’s dad more as a cameo, but got given more scenes when the character proved rlly popular
summer is a writer too. noone, not even tai knows she’s gonna be playing summer when she shows up later in the show >:3c
emerald and cinder being best friends who play up icly for the fans. emerald throws down on twitter with anyone who harrasses cinder for playing a baddie
winter wasn’t an actor originally. she writes novels, but she was on set one day waiting for weiss to finish shooting so they could go to lunch.
she was given first dibs on an audition to play weiss’ ic sister and nails it. weiss insists she’s not even acting, she’s just Really Like This
winter writes fanfic of emerald/cinder on ao3 for shits and giggles dont @ me. noone knows its her bc she uses winter’s ic callsign as a username and ppl just assume its a winter fan
this is yang’s first big acting job, but she’s Known in celebrity circles because her mom is the Very Famous Raven Branwen.raven’s a household name
raven subsequently gets cast as her real mom because it just makes sense and would boost the series’ popularity following her guest appearance at the end of volume 2
qrow is very vocal about his character’s storylines and supports charities relating to substance abuse. he frequently finds himself in twitter discourse with fans because he loudly discourages romanticising his character
this gets him accused of hating his character, which he doesn’t. fandom either loves him or hates him
qrow and raven arent siblings but they might as well be because they’re so fking close and roast each other on twitter all the time
neo’s actress is actually a really famous opera singer who’s breaking into acting. this gives rise to the popular fanon that neo actually can talk and has a bitchin’ voice but chooses not to.
emerald’s an orphan. she bounced around kids homes and developed a great talent for lying in the process. hearing a drama teacher describe acting as ‘lying really well’ sealed the deal for her career choice. she’s had bit parts and lives in a shitty apartment until rwby becomes her first big break.
coco was a big actress in france. she came to america seeking to break into hollywood, and found it pretty difficult. she’s emerald’s roommate, and it’s emerald who tells her about the opening for a member of team cfvy and pushes her to audition.
ilia has to wear one of those green screen suits all the time so they can animate her scales. yang gets a selfie with her every time she’s wearing it. takes upon takes have been ruined by blake and sun laughing at her.
it annoys ilia at first. then, she starts to find it funny. then, she gets her own back by purposefully making people laugh. she does the yoshi mlem every time she cracks her whip.
pyrrha’s actress routinely gets bit parts and cameos in future volumes bc the cast and crew love her so much they want her around all the time. she’s like 50% of the reason a comedy mini-series where nothing bad happens exists alongside the main series.
the entire cast and crew rallying around cinder after v3 when the fan backlash comes from pyrrha’s onscreen death. they throw a party after to celebrate pyrrha and cinders great performances. its a greek theme
team rwby, smartasses that they are, all come dressed as achilles with little papier mache arrows stuck in their heels
weiss is a Career Showman. she started off in ballet, then moved to broadway, then onto the bigscreen. she’s had a huge amount of success despite how young she is, and was continually pushed to land greater and greater roles. she suffered a very publicised breakdown because of the stress.
she ‘disappeared’ in the showbiz scene when she went to live with winter in her remote little writing shack in the middle of assfuck nowhere to recharge.
rwby is her first acting job since then. she was hesitant to start back at all, but finds herself extremely supported and refreshed by the small, close-knit production.
blake’s had to work twice as hard for every role she’s ever landed due to being an ethnic minority. her professionalism makes her seem closed off and cold, so she hasn’t made many friends. she has a small, devoted fanbase, though.
summer is one of those fans, and has always wanted to cast blake in something. her character was written with her in mind, and summer was elated when blake accepted the proffered audition and subsequent role in rwby.
ruby is summer and tai’s daughter!! they are not shy at all about saying that her part was written For Her. they don’t apologise for it either fuck u they created this show they cast who they want.
the red trailer only initially existed for ruby to do a screentest of her character. it was so well produced and nailed so hard they made it promotional material and wrote the white, black and yellow ones to go with it.
ruby grew up reading her parents’ stuff and writing her own, too. in school, she wrote, directed and produced an entire play for her classmates, but never thought of acting until her parents suggested she play the lead in this new show they’ve been thinking about.
ruby and yang met on set. they’ve been thick as thieves ever since.
...AND SO ON I COULD DO THIS ALL DAY GUYS
#PHEW I SPENT HOURS ON THIS#seriously though i'd love it if we could revive the comm a little bit mid hiatus#and this seems like such a cool way to do it#as such FEEL FREE TO REBLOG#this isnt like a closed au or anything it's just an idea i'd love to see people play with!!!#PLS..... IM SO INTO THIS..... SUPPORT MY BRAND........

░░░░░ SIT DOWN KIDDOS!
it'ร ʀɑɳt t i ɱ ɛ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
««« bυt blαckfiรн, wнy diddyα cнσσรє тσ fσяgєт мcυ!ρєтєя? »»»
the short answer is simple: bc i’m a BORING grouchy ass.
the long answer is down below: it’s like i’m boring but i have reasons, ok.
hello my dear followers! as you may have noticed by the funny letters in the beginning, it’s time for your friendly neighbourhood rper talk a little bit about something that bugs the shit out of her, first of all, i’d like for you to take into consideration the fact that i’m boring. like, i’m fucking boring and i tend to look closely to little mistakes that may or may not destroy my whole cinematic experience. second, i want y’all to know that i’m adhd and spider-man is a part of my life - in some instance, i’m him. and i’ve researched a lot about how adhders can get interested in things - there is something named hyperfocus, when you think A LOT about something, and a common nomenclature is special interest. so, before you say ‘’but bfish, you’re overreacting....’’ remember that this hero is one of the reasons i got over many hard times in my life. remember that.
so let’s go, get your popcorn, your soda, your spider-man comic (or avengers dvd, idk what’s your preference) and let’s swing right into the queens borough that is my hyperactive and passionate mind.
i hated homecoming. nowadays, i can say that with all the words. i hated homecoming. but, no, i don’t hate tom holland - in fact, i love him and he is an angel. i also met him and laura harrier in may and he signed my copy of spidey! the problem in the movie is far from him - he is a talented and sweet boy that deserves the world. but, unfortunately, his peter was poorly written. before you all start calling this brazilian ass names, let me explain the reasons why i think it was terrible.
i. 〈〈 the complete erasement of uncle ben. 〉〉
no, my friends, that doesn’t mean that i wanted to see uncle ben dying and tom crying just as andrew and tobey did. no i didn’t want that, just as much as i didn’t want a flashback in batman vs. superman showing the death of the waynes. but the fact is, when a fact is important, you can’t simply forget that. i’m not saying i wanted a flashback, but i wanted ben’s death to have consequences on peter &&. may’s lives. honestly, i doubt the wise man even said to his nephew the most famous words in the story of comic books: 〈〈 with great power, there must also come great responsibility. 〉〉 in this interview, screenwriters revealed that the motto would feature, but in a peculiar way.
‘‘At the end when Happy [Jon Favreau] is in the boy’s room in school we had him say, ‘Oh yeah, Tony wanted me to tell you, “With great power comes… something, I forgot,”‘” Goldstein tells Yahoo Movies. “It was a little too meta.”
literally, they’d make happy tell peter the most iconic quote in the history of comic books in the wc and who’d be quoted? or almost quoted? yeah, tony stark. the new uncle ben. we see in the movie that ben’s death has llittle effect on peter’s maturity - he is still dumb and selfish, he still fucks things up without thinking in the responsibilities. mcu!ben is not the ben we know. it’s funny how they undeveloped the character that showed up in civil war: in that point, i was certain that tom holland would be way better than tobey once was as peter, and better than andrew was as spider-man. but he wasn’t, and that was a major turn down. in civil war, we see him fighting against experienced people, using his powers and saying basically this in other words. what happened to this peter? to the peter that showed traits of adhd and autism, to the peter that knew that with great powers, came great responsibilites, to the peter that loved may and didn’t want her to suffer. what happened?
ii. 〈〈 dad stark is the worst concept ever, fite me. 〉〉
i don’t get why people fetishize this shit so much. let me get into details over here: in case you’ve never read the comics, tony stark made peter’s life a living hell. why? because he betrayed him. tony, who peter was trying to see as a new sort of father, betrayed his trust and made him fight and stand for ‘’team stark’’, even though parker thought that shit wouldn’t happen. what happened to aunt may was tony’s fault. he manipulated peter, and, when the later noticed what happened and tried to back down, tony was furious. furious because he lost his puppet. steve said that tony would do anything in his power to take peter down after he openly exposed stark’s intentions in tv.
why is this relationship so terribly adapted? because rdj has charisma. people love him, people buy his merch. tony stark in the cinema is not the tony stark of the comics, he is robert downey jr. in a fucking iron suit. nothing more, nothing less. and the public loves that. tony stark, canonically, was about to be peter’s ‘’father’’, but he couldn’t. because you can’t replace a father like that! even more after the trauma that peter went through, being the cause of ben’s death. peter tried to find a father in tony, but it was impossible: tony used him, trashed him, manipulated him as a puppet, made his family a target of villains.
there were hints of this relationship in civil war - like when tony threatens to blackmail him to aunt may and kidnapps him to fight among grown and trained adults. after all of that, stark left peter bruised and hurted in his legal guardian’s footsteps. he was done with him. and somehow, the fans didn’t get it. they love to victimize their dear tony stark - they can only see through black & white, forgetting that stark is not a hero, nor a villain. he is more of an anti-hero, when parker is a hero. the fans drawn fanarts, said he was son to stony/pepperony (oh my god idk which one of those is the worse). and marvel liked that - they wanted fanservice, and the studio gave them this.
the father to peter parker is and will ever be benjamin parker, husband to may parker (née reilly). the good and wise man who tried his best to deal with his teenager nephew, his stubborn and tempestuous nephew. the stans will come at me and say that it doesn’t matter anymore, ben is dead and tony is alive. but imma pull a quentyn martell here and ask you a thing: what matters the most? men’s life or their deaths?
iii. 〈〈 peter parker is team cap, period. 〉〉
from the day ben parker died and on, peter learned a lot of things. the youth promissed to always use his powers when he can, to act with justice. otherwise, the fault would be his. peter loves captain america, he is his idol - not iron man. may parker, his aunt, grew up in a generation when the sentinel of liberty was a symbol of resistance against nazi intolerance - and she most certainly passed it to peter.
he and tony may share technology talent, but steve and peter share much more. they share an idea - the idea of freedom, justice and good-will. it’s more than money, it’s a matter of honor. in the comics, he switched sides when noticed tony’s real intentions, and, taking the point that he said that beautiful quote in civil war, it’s more than a consumated fact that peter parker would be a member of team cap if he had had a choice.
peter parker didn’t know what he was fighting for, plus his appearence in civil war was a mere fanservice. it didn’t fit well, he was 100% not needed there. the hypocrite stark took him to a fight that wasn’t his to fight among trained adults AND, if that wasn’t already enough, didn’t tell him what he was fighing for. ‘’something about making cap mad.’’, i love how they explicitly throw the fact that tony manipulated peter in our face, and yet people deny to acknowledge this. your favorite character made a dick move, it won’t hurt if you admit that, friend o’ mine.
iv. 〈〈 aunt may is fucking hot. do you see it? SHE IS FUCKING HOT! 〉〉
yes, aunt may is hot and different from the version we had in the comics. is that a problem to me? hell, no. she is aunt may, not grandmom may. she can be young without any issue. the problem is the big deal they made of it. in the first scenes of the movie, we’re introduced to a said-nice joke of tony stark where he talked about may being sexy in front of her nephew. people don’t really get how stupid that is, right?
there are two moments more where i wanted to shove a knife up my ass. mr. dalmar saying, in spanish, how hot the descendant of italians is (oh my god that was so creepy WHY ARE YOU THIS WAY WHY GOD PLEASE WHY), and peter answering in an unusual &&. cunning way, asking how his daughter was (in spanish, of course. sex appeal, friends.) this is sexist as fuck. and also that ‘’larb’’ scene, i’m not even gonna get started because it’s so terrible. oh, you truly see how cool it is for a woman to be harrassed by many men because she looks hot. yeah, cool.
can you guys believe that aunt may was supposed to have a boyfriend in this movie? exactly. nine months after ben died. nine months. may dated a guy (that actually was really old and died) in the comics 100 issues after that event, and got married 500 issues later, to j. jonah jameson’s father, jj. she didn’t get over the loss of her husband that easily. no one does, unless you deeply wanted the person to die. now answer me, may (without aunt, cuz she is too young to receive this kind of treatment. have you ever imagined a hot aunt? unbelievable. she is just may.), did you want the love of your life to die?
v. 〈〈 progressive, but not so. 〉〉
queens is a diverse borough. i’ve read tweets of actual people that live there saying how there was only one white kid in a class of many students, or on how many filipinxs, latinxs & blacks over there. that is a thing i liked in the movie! it’s not the 60′s anymore, there has got to be non-white people in midtown. flash as a latino was quite nice, and so was liz. two charismatic characters and actors that i loved so much.
but the problem envolves ned &&. michelle, mj, whoever she is, i don’t care. ned is an amalgama of betty brant’s husband and hoblgoblin, ned leeds and miles morales’s best friend, ganke. he is the comic relief of the movie - the one that praises the hero, that wants to be like him. a movie that says that breaks a lot of stereotypes made a fucking poc fat character that is nothing but a comic relief. we don’t feel any character depth in ned, we don’t know anything of his family, he lives basically in peter’s function, the white standard boy being served by the poc fat boy. you get how progressive that shit is?
and also i’m going to touch a delicate topic over here: michelle. i’m not going to get in the merit wether she is mary jane or not, but i know one thing: she is a badly written stereotype. she is everything white straight sexist man think we, geek feminist women, are. she seems like she doesn’t take a bath, is always angry and grouchy. she bullies peter and stalks him, and, shockingly, even though zendaya was in every single piece of marketing and promotional tour, she had nothing in the movie, but four fucking minutes of ‘’empowering’’ jokes for the female viewers to ‘’identify’’ with.
wonder why that’s this way? homecoming had eight screenwriters (that will, unfortunately, return to homecoming 2), and guess what? all of them are white men that see female nerds as nothing but a comic relief, right? that see feminists as grumpy and dirty. and i’d bet 10 good reais (brazilian local money) that she is gonna go through an awesome transformation to show female empowerment and date the protagonist.
the name of the movie is spider-man: homecoming, but could be spider-man: hypocrisy.
vi. 〈〈 'nuff said. 〉〉
well, that’s it. i felt like i needed to take it off my chest, you know. as a spider-man fan, a lot of things in homecoming bugged me, and i disliked the movie so much. please, i ask you not to attack me. people are allowed to have different views from yours, that is ok.
the conclusion of all this rant is that: tobey is my peter, andrew is my spider-man and tom is my idol as an actor. only that. the five reasons above are why i won’t include this mcu mess into my verses.
