OMWF is so weird in retrospect because they clearly knew the purpose of songs in musicals is to express emotions dialogue won't let them do but it's explored so unevenly across the characters that it only makes sense in-universe if Sweet just isn't very good at his magic.
Thank you for your service.
simple flow chart: Do I need AI? -> No
A gleaming Frog stands with grumpy Toad on Toad's front porch. From "Spring" In *Frog and Toad Are Friends*
What you see is the clear warm light of April. And it means that we can begin a whole new year together, Toad.
I haven't even seen The Pitt, and this is still a lovely reminder of what fandom can be when we let it.
I feel like if it was INTENTIONALLY done to elicit this reaction I might be less angry but the fact that they to this day have no idea why people reacted so negatively...
The news that they're adding scenes to Endgame makes me mad about Endgame again, which I thought I'd moved on from in seven years and multiple other fandom but apparently here we are. Nothing in 1400+ episodes of Law & Order has made me as mad as Avengers 4: Fridging Women and Breaking Time Itself
This is too much. Sending love.
My number one Avengers Endgame Hot Take is that I am not mad at Steve Rogers for what he did at the end of the movie because I still have not gotten past what he did for the entire five years when they were ignoring ALL THE SUPERHERO ISSUES IN THE GALAXY to sulk
Is it good or bad that I assumed the same thing
Not taking a nap yesterday and staying up til 11 was supposed to normalize my sleep cycle but instead I crashed for 5+ hours after work today and I'm still tired but have to eat dinner (even though it's too late to order anything) so. What are we doing here. Who planned this.
When I tell you that they see the movie as Natasha learning she needs to be more like Steve, rather than Nat and Steve both learning that neither of their extremes is always good and they have things to learn from each other...
If you watch the Winter Soldier commentary it's clear that they do not understand any of the things that made that movie so great and that's sad because WE all understand it give US authority
The idea that Steve went back and STAYED back but didn't rescue Bucky from Hydra, or Nat from the Red Room, or Tony from [gestures at his entire history]... that's not my Steve.
I just think that legally you shouldn't be allowed to retcon a text inside of that text. You should have to make a new text to retcon the old text.
I am clinging to the delusion that "whoops Steve accidentally BROKE TIME ITSELF by being a selfish little shit" is a main plot point of the next movie
Discussion topic: will the re-release count as an Endgame fix-it fic and if not is it because it will not manage to fix anything
deadline.com/2026/04/joe-... if you are more of a "read the whole mind-numbing article instead of just see it obliquely referenced" person
If that person tells us the added scene is Gamora and Natasha clawing their way out of the soul stone, I will reconsider my strong opposition to this thinly-veiled attempt to pass Avatar in total theatrical ticket sales
Someone is going to need to take the bullet and go to the Endgame re-release to see what absolutely necessary content they couldn't manage to squeeze into their tight three-hour runtime
Are we seriously having "well introverts ENJOYED the isolation imposed by the early stages of a deadly pandemic" discourse because as the introvertiest introvert I know I would like to have Words.
THANK you, these takes are making me feel crazy.
I support him
yes! I have paper towels everywhere, I just need to update my band-aid caches
hi!
I swear this happens less often than it seems
And yes I am fully aware that I'm basically Crafting Knive Georg at this point.
I know it's funny for all of us to talk about how often I wake up next to exacto knives but for all that that's true I very rarely just full-on stab myself like I just did and I really need to enact better "that blood used to be inside of me" protocols.
Personally I would consider whether repeated and constant exposure to a disease known to cause brain damage and cognitive/concentration difficulties might be, you know, doing those things.
