Aight So European Leaders Got Together To Make Decisions About The Refugee Situation And The Bottom Line

The internet could change next week, and not in a good way

You may have heard about the efforts in Europe to reform copyright law. The debate has been ongoing in the European Parliament for months. If approved next week, these new regulations would require us to automatically filter and block content that you upload without meaningful consideration of your right to free expression. 

We respect the copyrights and trademarks of others, and we take all reports seriously to ensure that your creative expression is protected. We make this clear in our Community Guidelines. There’s already a legal framework that works and is fair: Today we take down posts and media that contain allegedly infringing content when we receive a valid DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown request. We also provide clear-cut ways for people to fight back if they believe their removed content was not a true violation. These instances are monitored and reported and live in our biannual transparency report. 

The suggestion to use automated filters for issues of copyright is short-sighted at best and harmful at worst. Automated filters are unable to determine whether a use should be considered “fair use” under the law and are unable to determine whether a use is authorized by a license agreement. They are unable to distinguish legitimate parody, satire, or even your own personal pictures that could be matched with similar photographs that have been protected by someone else. We don’t believe that technology should replace human judgment. Tumblr is and always has been a place for creative expression, and these new regulations would only make it harder for you to express yourself with the freedom and clarity you do so now.

I feel like they’re frennemies at this point lmao

Stephen: For this mission, I wore the perfect disguise to make sure I was never noticed by anyone. Something so drab and uninspiring-

Steve: I feel like this is going to be a dig at me.

Stephen: I wore Steve's clothes.

Steve: There it is.

I think this is important so I’m gonna share it here as well

Is nobody gonna talk about Strange struggling with his sandwich and Wanda being 100% done next to him ?

Stephen Strange: What Master do you serve?

Starlord: what master do I serve? What am I supposed to say Jesus?

Me, an intellectual:

Hey Marvel...

You and I need to have a chat for a moment about the MCU’s godfather, Anthony Edward Stark.

You remember him, right?

You should, considering that under you, Tony has been subjected to/experienced:

Lost parents at age 17 (still a minor)

Kidnapping

Body modification without consent.

Waterboarding

Manipulation via a loved one.

Betrayed by a loved one.

Attempted murder by a loved one. Twice

Long-exposure to poisoning.

Existential crisis due to said poisoning

Having to deal with the aftermath of bullshit created by Howard.

His friends being put in danger.

Political bullshit.

Almost sacrificing himself to save the world by chucking a nuke at an alien spaceship armada.

Panic-attacks and paranoia triggered by said experience cause aliens are fucking real and they’re probably gonna come back. Gotta prepare.

Strung up and forced to watch the love of his life being experimented on.

…and this is after his best friend ending up in hospital and losing his home.

believing his girlfriend is dead.

forced to witness a horrifying vision of his biggest fear: losing his loved ones to an alien enemy because he didn’t do enough to save them.

co-creates an AI global protection system to prevent this, only for an Infinity Stone to turn it into a monstrosity.

Gets berated for something that was out of his and Bruce’s hands.

Held up and choked by a Norse God and his team mates do fuck-all to react.

Berated for keeping secrets by the one person keeping a secret from him that he doesn’t have the right to.

The only one getting blamed for Sokovia while one of the co-creators ran for it and the other waltzed right into the team, no questions asked.

Gets wind of game-changing U.N. sanctioned proposal and backs it cause he knows with some work and several amendments, it could be quite useful to have the majority of the world working together (alien attacks, remember?). Plus accountability is important, but explaining this to his teammates turns to shit very quickly.

Berated for his teammates ending up imprisoned even though they are grown fucking adults who made their own choices and broke several laws.

Was willing to break the law if it meant bringing his teammate and his teammate’s friend in peacefully.

Watches his parent’s murder.

Snaps because the killer is right there and his mental state is too unstable to recognise the killer is a victim himself.

Gets the shit beaten out of him and the metaphorical symbol of his heart is cracked open by his childhood idol.

Left to deal with the fallout, including a now paralysed best friend and a traumatised android.

Get’s a poor excuse of a letter, but accepts it because that’s all he believes he deserves.

That’s 10 years of bullshit right there, Marvel. 10 years of bullshit my favourite character has had to put up with. With Avengers 3&4 coming up, my biggest fear for Tony is that you are willing to actually kill him off. Make him sacrifice himself in order to be noble and all that shit, right?

“The perfect way to end his character arc of redemption”…..Fuck off!

This is the same guy who:

Has been preaching accountability since his first movie.

Wants to ensure that innocent people stay out of harms way at all costs.

Wants to use his resources to encourage the scientists and innovators of the future.

has proved time and time again that the Iron Man armour is useless without him, not the other way around.

Took one look at Bruce Banner and decided to adopt him into his makeshift family.

Immediately sees the good in the Hulk and connects with Bruce to the point that Hulk pays in kind by saving his life. Hulk’s first friend.

easily connects with the random people he meets (Harley for instance) and is willing to give back tenfold if they help him in anyway.

they don’t even have to help him first, he’ll still assist them if he sees they need it.

Refuses to accept that ‘you can’t save everyone’

Proves his point by saving everyone who fell from the Air force One plane.

is doing everything within his intellect and power to protect Earth from that thing he knows is coming.

Looked at his best friend and immediately thought, ‘I’m going to help you walk again.’

is currently using his past mistakes and experiences to protect and guide a young, new superhero he knows perfectly well will mature into a better man than Tony could ever hope to be.  

is willing to fly into space despite it being his biggest fear to battle against an enemy he’s been predicting since 2012.

You see, Marvel, I reflect on all this and the idea of just killing off such an amazing character as a send off seems a bit of injustice. Not only for Tony, but RDJ, Jon Favreau and all of the fans that have been sticking by him for a decade.

I understand that RDJ wants to exit stage left out of the MCU, and I say go for it, more power to him, right? That being said, I really don’t see the harm in just having him retire and live the rest of his life off-screen, happily married to Pepper. All you would need is a reference here and there in future movies and that’s about it. Let Shuri take over as resident genius so we can witness her brilliance while being comforted by the fact that the guy who started it all is just enjoying himself-

Having a well earned break.

Which is what he deserves.

I don’t know how many times it needs to be said.

Doctor’s research mood :)
