*sigh* I love their ease and still mourn what we could have had. I also still hold that their scenes together, too few , were amongst the best in the sequel trilogy

Han Solo and Ben Solo🥰💙

RWRB is an overt celebration of the very issues being battled over in the upcoming election…. To say the least - and ofcourse there is so much more on the table, but in good conscience, I have to ask this community, how do we feel continuing the championing of the sequel which will be brought out by Amazon Prime, headed by Jeff Bezos, who recently ordered the Washington Post not to endorse a candidate and in doing so legitimised censoring and directly attacked the Fourth Estate’s independence and The First Amendment?

Knowing the money behind Prime, it does make me uncomfortable to continue to be excited when the making and promotion of this movie seems like window dressing, misdirection and a cold marketing strategy. Can we really believe this is a ‘passion project’ for Prime or just a tick box on this list to keep them acceptable within HOllywood, not to mention an excellent money spinner.

I want to make it clear, I fully believe the artists and authors are all sincere in their dialogue and beliefs about how this movie helps change perception but to me, it really does seem the monkey’s paw.

I guess I’m asking what do you think Alex and Henry would do in response and or is it childish to expect anything else in this world.

Help finding a fic on AO3

It's a one shot post Endgame where an older Steve sees a younger Natasha when she's first working for Shield as is undercover in a grocery store.

He remembers in his original timeline how she told him she had messed up and he gives her a hint so she won't do so this time round.

It's a one shot but so well written and no matter what filter it prompt I use I can't find it.

Any help from the brains trust would be appreciated . I cannot show enough love to this fic. It managed to not change anything but kept the spirit of Romanogers so well

[ab2612]

On point ....although I resent the term 'weird'

[ab2612]

Romanogers is a ‘ship, I feel most let down about. I’ve spent more time than probably healthy pondering why the writers and directors wilfully ignored and muted possibly the most complex and powerful relationship in the Marvel Universe.

To coin a well used cliche, I personally feel it had a lot to do with a very patriarchal franchise not really knowing how to write the relationship and the natural and organic chemistry of the actors took the writing a dynamic to a place where the prescribed story arc wasn’t prepared to follow.

Natasha was the only one of the original Avengers not allowed a love interest.Her written redemption seemed to come at the expense of her agency and after pairing her so brilliantly with the outwardly perfect Captain America it seemed as if, the different directors had very different views on what she ‘deserved’. I will never not feel rage at her being likened to a monster , albeit by herself , because she was violated and stripped off a biological ability. It’s why the travesty of the hulk arc never worked and in today’s reviewing really doesn’t age well.

It’s worth noting in the wake of Hollywood’s outing of various toxic individuals, joss Whedon was scrutinised and condemned and historically all his female characters had to suffer without a happy ending and usually top it out with self sacrificing tendencies. He directed the first two Avenger movies and whilst the Russos took over it seemed as if the framework never changed.

But it’s not just Natasha, SteveRogers when paired with Natasha is so much more. He becomes subtle and shaded. He has depth that allows him to wield Moljnor at the last . He balances her as well and in their relationship more than any other we see how they both learn and and connect with their humanity and move past their traumas.

Steve and Natasha’s relationship would have changed the whole marvel dynamic which began and ended with Tony stark as the ultimate Avenger and to keep that front and centre not only was Natasha chucked over the cliff but so was good writing, genuine character development not to mention the hottest chemistry the MCU ever produced.

Totally binged Netflix’s ‘The Chair’, not even knowing the ‘enigmatic David Duchovny’ would effortlessly steal the show, even with Sandra Oh being on point, as always.

Je suis John Oliver!

This tweet!! 🤣

[ab2612]

I love ‘Last Week Tonight’. They manage to continue their understandable obsession with Adam Driver, in the most subtle ways. Snackus maximus indeed!

Well done @galacticidiots .

One of the Disney accounts tweeted this and then deleted it even though it was by far one of their most popular tweets. One has to laugh.

[ab2612]

Hurrah thank you @johnoliver. Your finale was just what the cosmos ordered .

Can John Oliver please have a quarantine special interviewing Adam Driver in a similar fashion to his interview with Stephen Hawking? I would happily start a crowd funding platform for this to happen.

John Boyega is right in that the sequels disenfranchised many interesting stories to appease the core group of toxic fans ; HOWEVER when he says ‘they gave Adam Driver nuance’, I have to say ‘no’. Kylo/Ben was the most redacted and in effect emotionally renditioned.

Kylo/ Ben’s popularity happened despite and not because it was fostered by Disney or the story tellers. The nuance was created by Adam Driver and his belief in his character. There is a reason Adam Driver has accolades galore and continues to be one of the most requested actors of our generation. In his case it’s based purely on talent.

Here endeth the lesson!

Star Wars is something that for me, is my own private treat. However now, as a mother of four, I occasionally share some scenes with my children. Whilst my boys actually still find it a bit scary, my twin girls ( of 2 and 1/2) are entranced.

Anyway today I was indulging them *ahem* and myself watching the infamous ‘throne rooms fight’; halfway through my husband comes in and starts watching. He is not a fan and rolls his eyes the minute I start waxing lyrical or venting.

I stopped it for the girls after the lightsaber is thrown to which he succinctly, if inelegantly said, ‘now they’re going to bone right’

One would have thought! In fact everyone did bloody think it !
