it’s true and you should say it.
A lot of the stories (ESPECIALLY tws) used to be so structurally tight as well, working as both a sequel and a standalone, but now they’re so focused on ‘the wider MCU’ that you don’t even care about the story they’re trying to tell in the actual movie you’re watching. Too busy trying to retroactively fit a movie into canon, and setting it up for nine continuations and spin-offs, calling back to things and trying to ride off nostalgia. I would say the MCU has become a parody of itself, but at least parodies are funny.
I can’t even talk about MCU quantity vs quality or it will upset me :(( we really had no idea how bad it would get huh
Just rewatched Captain America: Winter Soldier.
God, they don't make marvel movies like this anymore.
I could actually see what people were doing during the night scenes.
The fight scenes were so well choreographed. The music was made specifically for the movies instead of just endless themes meant to induce nostalgia for when Marvel seemed to actually care about its craft.
My latest painting, inspired by ‘living fossil’ species! While not an exact scientific term, these are species which highly closely resemble ancient ancestors in the fossil record. I considered other iconic ancient species like the coelacanth and hoatzin, but settled on this composition. Even the plants are living fossils!
My studio is getting crowded with works!
black holes and bagels n stuff
Can I be honest I was a terf for awhile and then I realized they didn’t just hate trans women they also hated themselves too and kept repeating a bunch of mysoginistic shit. And I knew the sexist stuff they said about cis women wasn’t true…and it was so weird it got me thinking about the stuff they were saying about trans women. and I started realizing they didn’t really hate trans women for being trans…they hated that trans women were enjoying being women while TERFs absolutely hated being women. the irony is that their own internalized sexism opened my eyes and turned me into a trans ally.
EPIC WIN IM SO PROUD OF YOU it’s not easy to break free of turd circles since it’s run like a cult. Once you realize they contradict themselves all the time and aren’t even feminists it becomes hard to take any of their arguments seriously
not to be insensitive but some of the salem witch trials were so funny bitches like “i saw her at the devils sacrament!!!” girl... what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament 👀
Commission for Lucy for their partner for Christmas.
There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.
A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.
I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.
Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)
Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.
