I love how Across the Spiderverse basically went out of its way to say that things like the spider society and the TVA are fascist. That's my favorite thing, lmao.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I got major 'We don't talk about the MCU in this household' vibes from Across the Spiderverse. They made reference to it, yeah, but it felt more like it was a joke than anything else. (Which I appreciate, because modern MCU is trash.)
Not Hobie Brown being suddenly added to my list of favorite Marvel characters, lol. (Along with Pavitr Prabhakar, oh my god.)
Excellent. Kind of wish it didn't end on a cliffhanger, but if that's what you have to do to tell the story well, I'm more than willing to wait on what happens next.
i can't be the only one who's noticed just how fucked up the concept of loki joining the tva is, right? i personally haven't seen anyone talk about this but it's one of the main things that makes me so uncomfortable about the show.
like, let me describe this without using any of the language that the series does;
a secret police dedicated to killing entire groups of people "for the greater good," one day picks up a man from one of these groups and tells him that if he doesn't help them catch the person who is trying to take them down, they will straight up kill him.
he is then given a coat to wear, branded with the secret police's logo, as well as clarification in huge red letters that he is NOT one of the secret police— he is part of the group the secret police kills.
this secret police is marketed as morally gray, and the company who makes the show releases merch for you to dress up as the secret police (or as the group that they kill) for fun because they want you to think this is cute and aesthetic.
and also the secret police uses gas chambers.
oh and also also, people draw cutesy ship art of this man and the "good cop" cuddling, while the man is clearly labeled and wearing a bland jumpsuit that the secret police forces him to wear.
Honestly, I figured. I swear to god, I've only seen it on a single 'totally legal website', and even then, it was recorded with commercials attached.
I don't know whether to say 'don't watch it', or to say 'it's worth watching just because of how bizarre it is'.
Basically, if you're curious: It's Pokemon, except instead of commanding little monsters in Pokeballs, it's ten-year-olds commanding the Marvel superheroes in discs. It's... it's so stupid.
'Spiderman, I choose you!' type shit. The writing is even Digimon-esq, heck-
(Please reblog, I'm genuinely curious about the majority option here.)

You know... I just realized something while rewatching Earth's mightiest heroes.
The jotuns in that show clearly try to eat people, right?
Do you think- ...do you think Loki ever gets cannibalistic urges because of that?
I mean, Loki is a jotun, right? Or half-jotun in some universes (The universes where he's Thor's half-brother, for instance). So since Jotuns seem to have that same instinct to prey on humans and Asgardians like in the original mythology, it only stands to reason Loki would, too, right?
Obviously, this wouldn't apply to MCU Loki, because it pretty much does everything it can to characterize them as basically just 'taller icy Asgardians with blue skin'. (Or maybe it does apply, who knows, we didn't get that much world building with the nine realms in the MCU universe before phase four ruined everything.)
But for universes like Earth's mightiest, where it's blatant that they eat people?
I mean, I obviously haven't read all of the comics, so maybe something in a comic I haven't read yet disproves that, but from what I'm currently aware of? It's not impossible.
Reblog and put in the tags something you REALLY wish you liked, but don't
That post that's like "stop writing characters who talk like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy" really blew the door wide open for me about how common it's become for a character's emotional intelligence to not be taken into consideration when writing conflict. I remember the first time I went to therapy I had such a hard time even identifying what I was feeling, let alone had the language to explain it to someone else. Of course there are plenty of people who've never been to therapy a day in their life who are in tune to their emotions. But even they would have some trouble expressing themselves sometimes. You have to take into account there are plenty of people who are uncomfortable expressing themselves and people who think they're not allowed to feel certain ways. It also makes for more interesting conflict to have characters with different levels of understanding.
You always got strange looks whenever you fed the neighborhood ravens. “I give them food, they give me company,” you’d say. One day, a raven excitedly comes up to you and whispers, “A neighbor plots against you, my lord.”
so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what
Reblog and tag with a character you love but the fanbase only interest is for horny purpose and totally ignore the character other traits

Just me thinking about those Pokemon nuzlocke comics online and starting to wonder if I should make one. Hmm...
Context: If I do one, it'll probably be a randomizer nuzlocke. Maybe of Fire Red?
Hmm! Interesting!
Personally, I think Loki would win; magic and all, but still. Thank you all for participating! :)
If I made a Batman movie, I'd cast Robert Carlyle as Scarecrow/Jonathan Crane.
Look at the roles he's played and tell me that man wouldn't do a fantastic job. Whether you want him more serious, or more 'hroo hraa'-esq, he'd play the part well.
I feel it in my bones. He's the ultimate choice.
no offense but male protagonists whose strength comes from empathy, compassion and humanity will always be more interesting than snarky assholes who punch everything and treat everyone around them like shit
which fictional death has affected you the most emotionally? like had you straight up crying your eyes out or similar responses
I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
“why does that character have to be queer?”
why not?
“why does that character have to be trans?”
why not?
“why does that character have to be a poc?”
why not?
Thinking about Loki in Avengers 1 coming through the portal kneeling.
Thinking about 2014 Gamora in Endgame, when Thanos touches her hair and she drops into a kneel to get out of reach.
Thinking about how much I hate Thanos and can’t stand the fact that people on Instagram and YouTube still comment things like “Thanos was right” and “He must’ve really loved her or the soul stone thing wouldn’t’ve worked.”
Your daily reminder that I will never accept TR, IW and Loki show as canon not only because of retcon of the original storyline, but also because all of them completely ignored THIS:
Also: cryokinesis and levitating were unfortunately never shown on-screen, and the most of his powers were shown for a few seconds and usually is just made fun of in TR and LS.
(And he is literally a genius. Not only in magic but in ANY KIND OF TECHNOLOGY. And they just forgot about it)

As Trans day of visibility winds down, I'd like to make mention that this is a trans-friendly space. All year round, all the time.
I do not support anti-trans ideologies or anti-trans people in the slightest, including and especially that of a certain radfem writer who got her foothold in fantasy whom I shall not name. I support trans people, including those outside the binary.
Your gender identity is valid, your experiences as a trans person are valid, your pronouns are valid, and even though there are a lot of awful things trans people are having to deal with right now, I support each and every one of you.
Trans MTF, Trans FTM, Nonbinary, Genderfluid, Xenogender, whatever your identity, it's valid.
Trans kings, queens, and monarchs of Tumblr, even in the face of all the bullshit you have to go through, I hope you all keep your chin up, don't let your crowns fall.
(PS: If you're anti-trans/anti-nonbinary and you're following me, unfollow right now. Block me if you must, I genuinely don't care.)
