Currently re-watching Age of Ultron and it's crazy how much damage and death the Avengers cause that all gets brushed off as the plot goes on. Some poor construction workers - possibly being paid practically slave wages - spent months building a skyscraper and Tony ran Hulk through the entire thing in seconds. Yeah, he stated that he plans to pay for the building, but imagine if that happened in real life.
Some foreign billionaire just undid years of planning and months of hard labor and then dipped and let his robots/team handle it. Hulk kills people and then burrows a giant tunnel in the ground. Tony uses Hulk's skull to rip up a pretty long stretch of road. Unless Tony sends robots to fix all the damage every single time (the Slovakia accords imply he doesn't), governments are left to clean up the Avengers' messes.
The movie is low-key demonstrating that Ultron is making some good points. They don't want peace. They want quiet.
Only one person died. Only one singular person. In a superhero movie! The type that love to throw around casualty counts like it’s all a big game, waving off 70 people being killed in a handful of days like it’s no big deal, yet only ONE PERSON died.
And he was mourned. Superman cried for him—this stranger who gave him free falafel and, while facing death, told him that he still believed in him. Metamorpho, this cold-seeming man who is being actively blackmailed to do this, breaking down and taking the risk to believe in Superman, too, because seeing someone murdered right in front of him is devastating enough to take the risk. The newspapers run a front page article talking about how they’re going to memorialize him.
The stakes didn’t have to involve real actual loss of life. The threat of it was enough to convey the severity of the situation. Because human life is that important. All life is that important, at least to Superman who goes out of his way to save dogs and squirrels.
(Hawkgirl does kill SHEIN Netanyahu but genocidal dictators don’t count as human beings lol.)

Look. I LOVE Kpop Demon Hunters.
I'm no expert on the US-Vietnam war, but I did take a class in college where we heavily covered it.
I'll just say the writers and creators are getting a slight side-eye..

Had this song stuck in my head all day and then sang along a lil too passionately on the way home and put myself into an Emotional State.
I’m not ugly crying with this on repeat. No way man.

You can't say that Past Self isn't a love story to the fans. It's so fucking beautiful.

Video captions: And stop trying to show your ex what they missed out on! Stop trying to teach your family a lesson for not believing in you! Stop trying to shit on your haters! Do it for you! Do it because you deserve it! Do it for YOU! Water your dreams with love! Don’t put no hate and resentment, and try to — “oh Imma fucking show them, Imma show” — FUCK THEM! Fuck them, do it for you! They don’t matter! They NEVER mattered.
