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.
sits on my own blog like it’s the edge of a lake wistfully
"they're not canon!"
girl idc you wouldn't have survived in the rise of the brave tangled dragon era like come on
they used to make smackable technology. you used to be able to hit your tv when it didn't work good.
today I used the phrase "breasting boobily" in casual real life conversation and everyone was shocked asking how I came up with that and I had to explain it. ive been at the devil's sacrament so long that I forgot he wasn't god
Points to The Doctor for somehow managing to be in every relationship state at the same time. He's single, he's engaged, he's married. He might technically be committing Bigamy because we don't know that his marriage to Elizabeth 1 was annulled. He's a grandfather but also somehow childless. He definitely fucked Houdini. He's the third wheel in his parent in laws marriage. He's in a situationship so powerful it broke the multiverse for a bit. All we need now is at least one canon divorce.
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.
I got my little sister to watch some tinkerbell films with me
I want one of those scenes in a dude bro film where “tomboy” chick has to wear a dress to go undercover or whatever, but instead of the guys drooling as she walks down the stairs, they’re like “k. U need to stop. Go put the cargo pants back on. You look super uncomfortable and awkward in that. Brutus, you go be the fake prostitute.”
