#the wcu (wig cinematic universe)

[angrypedestrian]

Like, if I wanted a good comic book story I'll read a fucking comic book. But if I want the most wooden and dead line deliveries committed to film AND 2 straight hours of the ugliest leather jackets I've ever seen, there's only one place to turn to....the cinema.

Madame Web is the film of all time, cannot recommend it enough. THIS is the type of movie we need in our trying times!!!!! Every superhero movie should be this fun and bad I am dead fucking serious.

THE TIME IDIOTS EPISODE 606 TITLED “SPOONS” MY THOUGHTS:

Previously: phil: oh god we spent....so much money on last week’s episode

god i really wish i cared about sara’s storyline because tala’s husband is....so hot. LET HIM HANG OUT WITH EVERYONE ELSE

oh hey mick what’s up

ngl i totally forgot he wasn’t on last week’s episode and that he was off in space with Kayla

i still love Pink Vancouver, and that the alien’s name is Kayla, these are honestly some of the funniest parts of the season

no fabricator, but also no money, right??? RIGHT GUYS. IS MONEY NOT AN ISSUE AGAIN. WHAT IS THE TRUTH

spooner with the truck stop stimulants, she is perfect

you’re very cool nick everyone recognizes you are so cool with your electric guitar

nick zano: haha yeah i’m cool

awwwwww jonno’s in LOVE

GIDEON!!!!! i love u gideon. missed u and your love of human dismemberment girl

spooner’s commitment to top lesbian aesthetic is admirable

It’s Memorial Get It Award worthy, I think

gotta add that amelia wig to the WCU (wig cinematic universe). it is BAD

like, their budget clearly went up this year, WHY could that not go towards better wigs????

behrad you are from 2040 quaaludes stopped getting produced in like the 80s you have no idea what they are

Astra you were a little too horny towards spooner in that moment

nothing wrong with being horny towards your teammate, just don’t play your hand all at once, you’re better than that

i believe in you

love the trainspotting homage there. phil loves cinema, famously. just add tentacles

truck stop stimulants to the rescue! the only time that sentence has ever been written

lol remember caity was at one point in a girl group prior to her acting career? cause i just was reminded

i just care....so little....about this story line. i do not care about the white ladies in love i just want SHENANIGANS

and if you aren’t gonna do shenanigans do the weird horror stuff you were doing a couple seasons ago, that was good too

i like that astra is just like, i am not dealing with whatever it is that you all have going on. not my goddamn business

nate: yeah that’s fair

Also how is this an equally bad but legally distinct wig from the last wig this Ava wore. You know you could probably have bought one decent wig for the price of these two bad wigs

hey zach you seem to harp on these wigs a lot. AND WHAT OF IT. we all make our own fun here

nothing can survive....Pink Vancouver

astra yr doing great sweetie

so wait, is this show implying that amelia earhart.....was an alien this whole time, or bishop made her into an alien? this is very confusing

now THAT is the body horror i want to see baybeeeee

get her ass spooner!!!! like a tiny angry shih tzu  barking at a german shepard

i do like the continuity that gideon’s booze isn’t that great. doesn’t stop any of them from drinking it, but it’s just good to know.

But her weed is good lollllllll

oh those are two different avas with two different terrible wigs fucking WHY

gary do not lie to these avas about their hair

zari just explicitly telling us all that john IS a fuck toy thank u zari

oh that is an ugly dress sara

real lucky that this atmosphere is only mildly deadly and not instantly deadly

SPOONS

lot to unpack there, mostly gay

bishop’s injury makeup is pretty good, they really have stepped up their prosthetic makeup game this year! i am loathe to compliment this show but credit where credit it due and all

NO. BAD. NO TENTACLE TITANIC MOMENT. YOU’VE GONE TOO FAR PHILLIP

phil: i love cinema.

I will be contacting my lawyer IMMEDIATELY and i will take you for all you have bird man

rip to great alien and aviator amelia earhart

sara you very famously lost all your scars when you went into the lazarus pit. it was a whole thing.

THANK U BISHOP you get it

lol did this bitch die again hahahahahahahaha

INCREDIBLE. pretty sure she has filled up the punch card to hell at this point

next week: PUNK OUTFITS HELL YEAH

CW wig au

First of all, fuck you. Second of all be careful what you ask for because I have A LOT of thoughts about the WCU (Wig Cinematic Universe). Third of all this is also for @pivitor because I talk about CW wigs with him SO MUCH.

Also I will fully admit that these aren’t so much AU headcanons as they are the facts of how wigs are used on the CW. I spend a lot of time thinking about the CW’s wigs

The biggest headcanon I have for the CW wigs is that there is only one wig for each hair color. This is inspired specifically by the very bad white wigs used on The Flash and iZombie

however, as you may recall, s3 of Legends did utilize a white wig for an episode, so they DID have to reserve it and a courier DID have to put it in the Sack Of Wigs and drive it over in a modified ice cream truck that plays a quarter speed version of the ice cream truck song

luckily izombie wasn’t filming at the time otherwise that would’ve been the real Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover

And don’t worry, even though iZombie has been cancelled, liv’s wig will live on, as the kind souls at Supergirl have adopted it and it has found a good home as Brainy’s wig.

Now, the CW is a budget conscious network, obviously. Not only so they share wigs, they really live by a reduce, reuse, recycle ethos, which is really progressive of them. I fully believe the original Black Canary wig Sara wore on Arrow (which, rest in piss to that show!) has been reused several times for various other characters after someone found it sitting in a back lot under a parked trailer for 2 years.

side note: sara is blonde and has long hair. The wig is…long and blonde. WHY DID SHE WEAR A WIG.

Felicity’s wig from the Legends S2 Doomworld episode? REUSED as Ava’s goth emo wig from this year’s mid season finale. SAME WIG.

There is a Keeper Of The Wigs. This person is the most powerful person in all of Vancouver. They see all and know more than we could ever hope to. And they almost certainly do not get paid enough.

WIG CINEMATIC UNIVERSE. It’s ALLLLLLL connected.

i have no idea if that’s 5 headcanons or not because numbers are an illusion and counting is hard and all i can think about is WIGS

THE TIME IDIOTS EPISODE 515 TITLED “The EXPANDED WCU (Wig Cinematic Universe)” MY THOUGHTS:

While I wait for the show to start I just saw a commercial for The 100, and wait a sec The 100 is still on????

also still canNOT believe Luke Wilson is on this fucking stargirl show. 

what a world

Anywhoozles, bring on the chaos!!

i feel like at this point, once a year the cw execs just turn around and close their eyes and plug their ears and go to legends, you can do anything you want, you just cannot tell us for the love of god

and this is how we get shit like this

I’m glad they found a way to work Mona back in but also, what

is happening

also this is like a real hard Apple 1984 commercial vibe

THESE ARE GOOD CREDITS CAN WE KEEP THESE INSTEAD

Are they...allowed to fly that close to the sun with “Fate +”??

asdfghjkl;sdfhjgkhl;sfgdhjfgkhl ULTIMATE BUDS

This is the most I have watched of any episode of Friends

OF COURSE HE IS JOEY

oh no we cannot bring back the Nate as green arrow bit

ZARI!

MY ZARI

I LOVE YOU

Also, nick is too powerful in a multi-cam we cannot let this stand

however, shayan and tala should be allowed to do comedies after they’re done with legends, they are good

YOU CAN’T JUST SAY NOT IN THE CLOSET LIKE THAT

but also, does this trigger WB’s sniper squad because TECHNICALLY it is zari 1.0?

flying a little close to the sun, aren’t we phil

I know why they are doing the cutting between multi-cam and regular filming, but it is jarring and I do not like it

my brain is too conditioned

Dummies!!!!

call them dumb more Zari!!!

Oh, all these outfits are so good

they spent the wardrobe budget for the season on this bit

worth it

The Memorial Get It Award goes to the Highcastle Abbey aesthetic

Everyone looks so good!

oooohhhh astra/behrad is a VERY pretty coupling

inspired, living in the year 3000, etc...

John as a butler makes me lol, so thank you show

lol

but also matt clean shaven is unsettling

HMMMM DON’T WANT A MAN ASTRA

INTERESTING

iiiinnnnntttteeeerrrreesssttiiinnnnggg

Behrad shut up. I love you, but shut up

Aw yay mona and gary team up!

I am not a star trek person (though I have dated multiple star trek people lol), but I gotta give big ups to Caity and Jes for really getting the tone of their parody characters right without it just being hamfisted WE ARE DOING A STAR TREK PARODY DO YOU SEE?

Biggest of shoutouts to @starcitysirens​ out here doing the real work on the WCU (wig cinematic universe) front, actually listening to the writers’ podcast and letting us know that some of the wigs HAD been used before. 

I assume the Gromulan wigs were from the Genghis Khan ep, but lets be real, they also cut THE white wig (rip) for ava’s lewk. 

V excited to frost’s new aesthetic on flash next year lol.

though i guess maybe with green arrow done maybe they can finally afford TWO white wigs

Everyone is in a skirt or short shorts??? I am not opposed but also, is this...a nod to charlie? it must be

the vfx team being like FINALLY we can just make the shitty effects we want to and it actually works!

I don’t like that the white dude officer or whatever very intensely shipping ava and sara like that

everything about this scene is.....so stupid

just.....so stupid

The fact that it is perfectly logical is incredibly painful to me

Zari 1.0: like can I ever just catch a fucking break with this wack fucking nonsense????

JUST ONCE is all i’m asking

is it TOO MUCH to ask that I wake up in mysterious circumstances at like, an upscale hotel or some shit

oh no cul-de-sac man

i knew he was coming but i did not mentally prepare myself

sara being a cop is violence

you would be so LUCKY to end up on public access nate

REMEMBER HOW THEY ALL LOVE EACH OTHER AND HOW ZARI IS THE CONDUIT FOR MAKING THEM REMEMBER

it’s fine i’m FINE

don’t TOUCH ME

i mean nate and zari’s love wasn’t an epic romance like this but whatever it’s fine i’ll take it

they’re real pretty together

Charlie’s LOOK oh my god

Also Behrad just mentally trying to skate right by that he and nate canonically hooked up

mr. parker will help him deal with that in a very special (and gay) episode

i don’t like mr. parker’s tie and shirt combo

phil, to tala: btw you are going to be THE cruzxof all our highest concept nonsense episodes

tala: what now

phil: byyyeeeeee

IS THAT SLED A FUCKING CITIZEN KANE REFERENCE

I am...so tired

well astra, no he isn’t, not for very long, despite his best intentions

that this first commercial of this break is for friends is a crime

this ultimate buds logo....made in MS paint

the FUCKING SHORT SHORTS

truly who made this design choice

Dom showing up in the last nine minutes, truly perfect

but ALSO

asdfghjkl;sdfghjkljhgfdssafsghjkl;

dom: FINE i will do this, BUT it is the only scene i am in and i don’t have to leave my chair to do it

phil: deal

mick i’m sure gideon could grow you some hair if you’d like

she grew that mustache for ray that one time

...what flavor is the blue mush tho

is it like that blue applesauce? i like that

also....wait a sec...they couldn’t hear the laugh track in the beginning....but there was a studio audience? 

could they not...see them?

THE JACKET!

ZARI’S JACKET!

SHE’S WEARING THE GREATEST HITS

love this episode of orphan black

y’know...tala could’ve probably pulled that role off now that i think about it

NEXT WEEK: CHAOS...and sara’s canary outfit lol

gotta get the one use in per season!

[angrypedestrian]

It was always going to be you and me, Neal.

I got bored and made an ‘ARROWVERSE BAD WIG SHOWDOWN’ sorter. 

Enjoy HERE!
