The others don’t bring up Steve’s past often because they’re worried it’s a sore subject. But teen Spidey doesn’t have that filter, and is just excited to meet a guy from the 40s. Steve enjoys it – it’s not often he gets reminded of the happy parts of his early life.
The question about ‘then’ popcorn and ‘now’ popcorn makes me really want a ficlet where Steve tells Peter about the banana issue.
Infinity war is gonna be 5 minutes long because Loki is gonna shed one single tear and the grandmaster is gonna show up in 5.6920 seconds and melt that big purple bitch with his melting stick.
A good friend who knows how my depression works warned me: This movie takes a VERY hard turn to the grimdark compared to the previous movies (esp. Black Panther and Ragnarok) and is extremely upsetting and frankly, cruel to the viewer.
I’m very glad I was forewarned because frankly this is the kind of thing that would have sent me into a depressive spiral. I *Strongly* advice against taking kids to this movie.
If you want more details, HUGE SPOILERS under the cut: (if on mobile, use tag filtering or scroll past now.
So there have been people in the notes trying to assure us that most of this is not perma-death, and some Not So Nice comments to the effect of “It’s Just a movie!”
1. Thank you for the reassurance, but it’s still upsetting to watch happen, especially if you’re not familiar with the original comic arc.
2. This warning is for people with Depression/bipolar/BPD/other emotional regulation problems, or people with small children who haven’t developed those skills yet. If you’ve got a handle on your brain chemistry, terrific! For those of us that don’t, spoilers and content warnings are important tools to prevent aggravated symptoms, or prepare ourselves for going in anyway.
3. If you DO like grimdark or liked the original comic arc, it’s apparently a very well-made movie and you will probably enjoy it. Go have fun, the rest of us will be over here.
itunes is lame so excuse my literal phone recording but this clip from the ragnarok director’s commentary where Taika’s baby daughter comes in and starts babbling at what’s happening onscreen is. maybe the purest thing i have ever witnessed
The implication that John Wick won’t find out Strange set up his dog to be killed just to get rid of Thanos and he won’t tear Strange’s lungs out through his nose
black panther au but martin freeman’s character is replaced with maria hill or sharon carter or a wisecracking twelve-year old or an old horny parrot that says marvel’s first “fuck”
@ disney, the parrot can be voiced by alan tudyk. i know he makes you feel safe. it’s okay. it’s not to late to make this small but vital edit.
black panther au where martin freeman’s character is replaced with colonel james rhodes and he’s the perfect counterpoint to killmonger’s worldview with his own experience both being black in america and in the us military specifically AND ALSO maybe shuri can make him even better robo legs???
Shuri would take one look at the War Machine armor and go “What the antiquated fuck is this bullshit?” and like, bang out something better than the Bleeding Edge armor over her lunch break, and when Rhodey looked at it, she’d break into a chorus of “You’re Welcome” from Moana because why the fuck not.
