Rough and Tumble - Back in Town by JoeAdok

They got better, now it’s time to get that money. R n’ T are back and up to no good as they meme and scheme their way to the top, going through (Or around when necessary) anyone who’d get in their way. It’s pretty obvious I think, but this ain’t a real cover, just in case. I just tried to style it after the Tangle and Whisper cover.

Rough and Tumble, based on the 'The Very Best of Hall and Oates' cover. It's the colour scheme that caused the correlation this and the og inspo.

Imagine risking your life just to gather food for your family—only for shells to rain down on you as you wait in line.

This is the horrifying reality Hossam Al-Qazzaz faced this week.

Already displaced from their home, Hossam, his wife Hanan, and their four children—Bashar (9), Hani (8), Diana (4), and 9-month-old Habiba—are struggling to survive in a battered tent on the coast after being evacuated once again from the ruins of their home in Khan Younis.

To feed his starving family, Hossam often walks over 14 kilometers to reach aid distribution points; an incredibly dangerous journey, where many are shot or trampled in the ensuing chaos of the actual distribution.

Just days ago, while at one such aid distribution site, tragedy struck:

Shells were fired into the crowd.

Hossam was there with his brother-in-law, Mohammed Zanad (who we've previously written about HERE), and Mohammed's son, Abdul Rahman, when the violence broke out. Hossam suffered minor injuries to his face, but his brother-in-law and nephew were badly injured; Mohammed was badly injured by shrapnel across his entire body, while Abdul Rahman suffered a severe injury to his right hand. As of this writing, he remains in a British field hospital awaiting evaluation; the little boy’s hand may require amputation.

After days without contact due to the internet outages in Gaza, Hossam messaged us this morning, frustrated and exhausted:

“We were together, the three of us, at the aid distribution site, and a missile fell on us and those present. Now we can only pray for them. He is a poor little boy. I hope God heals his hand. Please pray for him...”

Like so many in Gaza, the Al-Qazzaz family is trapped in an endless cycle of terror, injury, and loss. They are battling hunger, constant bombardment, and the inability to flee because of closer borders and war-induced financial hardship. Skyrocketing food prices and destroyed infrastructure make basic survival nearly impossible, forcing Hossam and others like him to go to these dangerous aid sites to simply not starve.

Please consider donating to the Al-Qazzaz family's fundraiser. Every dollar we send the Al-Qazzaz family helps Hossam and feed his wife, four young children, and elderly parents without having to risk death to do it; buy formula for the youngest child, baby Habiba; help support the family financially as they are continually forced to relocate and start over with every attack that claims their belongings; and cover any necessary medical care or other essentials for the family.

The trauma this family is enduring is unimaginable, and they need help urgently.

If you are able, we implore you: please share the Al-Qazzaz family's story far and wide, and donate, of you're able. Their campaign has stalled, and they haven't received any donations in days. If we all contribute even a little, we can help this precious family survive—and give them a chance to escape this nightmare.

Just watched CA Brave New World for the first time and took notes

The opening scene was so cool. The music was so chilling.

Sam feels weightless, when he lands in Mexico it feels like he just jumped off the bed of a truck not sped down at the speed of sound.

I know vibranium tech glows purple but the wings still feel a little off.

I love how Sam isn't trying to be Steve, he's keeping his personality. He's not any less wisecracking than he was in any of his other appearances.

A corporate New Avengers (Thunderbolts) Vs a government ordained Avengers under Ross would have been a very interesting dynamic

Isaiah is crazy strong, I wonder how strong Old Man Steve is in comparison

Sam tanked those knives, he acted like they weren't even there!

Not being able to guess what's happening or who to trust is really good, it reminds me of Winter Soldier. You never know who's working with who.

I'm Mr Blue is a fantastic The Incredible Hulk reference.

I really hope Ruth never shows up again, not just because of the Israel thing but she's just not interesting at all. They had no reason to include her. In fact I think this movie's greatest weakness is that it has no strongly written women characters.

The pacing is off, about the halfway point it feels like something changes in the speed.

Ross is a really interesting character, I'm glad they developed him beyond just an angry warmonger.

Redwing holding the shield was adorable but it made me wonder why Sam doesn't use the electromagnet Steve used in Age of Ultron. It would definitely be useful here.

Sam riding the missile was so badass.

I notice a problem that started with Ant-Man where the masks don't move when they talk which looks unrealistic.

Torres is adorable I'm so glad they brought him back.

The Leader's voice is perfectly creepy, I love it. I wish he looked a bit more Leader-y but what we got was fine.

I kind of wish they hadn't revealed Red Hulk in any of the marketing but it makes sense. If the Leader had the spot of main advertised villain we could have guessed Red Hulk would show up and Sidewinder isn't big or interesting enough to hold that spot either.

The director of photography is named Morgenthau! Technically not a reference but still.

Kendrick has to be Marvel's favourite musical artist, they've gotta have him on speed dial for contracts.

People said this movie felt more like a Hulk sequel and it kind of did but I don't think it would have worked with Hulk as the protagonist. Cap fits it much better.

I would have loved a cameo from Isaiah's grandson, a reference to him becoming Patriot would have been cool.

Zionist women love women's rights and want to liberate the women of Iran so much that they're going to liberate them from life by bombing them until their graves are rubble. Girlboss feminism is when women get an equal share in killing people, apparently.

I kinda get where you're coming from with Sam being blamed for Walker's actions, and I do think I phrased it poorly. Looking back Sam by no means was as equally shitty in this situation as Bucky and Walker. He did his best. I'm not a therapist or a counsellor, so I obviously don't know the best way to de-escalate a situation with an angry, psyched, armed individual.

I don't know where you're getting that I'm blaming Sam for Bucky's actions. If anything Bucky was the worst offender in this whole confrontation, the 'yeah we do' was just so unnecessary. He was looking to pick a fight with Walker because of his preconceived notions against him. If you think I meant that Sam followed Bucky's lead, I think he did but only because Bucky moved first, and Sam instantly knew a fight was happening, so he moved too.

I do think Walker should have dropped the shield. He was acting erratically and dangerously. But Walker isn't racist, or at least I don't think he's racist like someone like William Burnside from the comics is. There's an argument to be made about how he represents American imperialism which is inherently racist but I'm talking about Walker himself as a person when I say I don't think he killed that Flagsmasher because he was a person of colour. He did it because he was enraged, high on adrenaline, and he's an inherently impulsive person who acts on his first instinct without a second thought. I think he would have killed Karli if he had caught her instead. He would have killed anyone he thought was an insurgent if he caught them.

I get what you mean that Walker wanted to beat up Sam. Because of his impulsiveness if anyone starts monologuing to him for too long he'd fly into a rage and very possibly start a fight.

You do raise a good point that everything that has happened up until this point is ultimately Walker's fault. If he hadn't barged in on Karli and Sam, Lemar wouldn't have died and he would never have been put in the situation where he would bludgeon someone to death with the shield. The incident with the Dora Milaje was his fault too. They were just coming to collect a prisoner (regardless of the fact that they may or may not have had legal precedence to do so) and Walker stepped out of line by touching them. Not sure it warranted an instant beat down but it definitely deserved a punch or a slap. However if that happened I think Walker would have immediately escalated the situation.

I think it's an interesting character route for Walker to never take accountability. I personally don't like the character at all, even if he's intriguing from a narrative perspective. I haven't seen Thunderbolts yet but from what I've heard he doesn't really change there either, which is disappointing. I'd enjoy seeing him confronted with the things he's done in a meaningful way.

I'm rewatching TFATWS and I know the fight between Walker and Sam + Bucky is controversial, but I noticed both sides handled it very poorly.

Sam didn't tell Walker what was going to happen, his attempt at de-escalation was not good, and only made Walker more angry. Sam wanted the shield so Walker didn't have a weapon, but he phrased it confrontationally.

Bucky engaged first, which was a stupid decision. It looks like Sam engaged with him but I assume Sam only went forward because Bucky was going forward, and he wouldn't have engaged at all if he had the choice.

Walker was in a murderous rage at this point. He was actually going to kill Sam with the shield, whether he really meant to or not. He was not in his right mind and even if Bucky hadn't engaged Walker, he would have either ran or attacked at some point. He wasn't going to surrender.
