Why is the murder drones fandom of all fandoms full of so many puritans? I’ll see a mildly horny tumblr or Pinterest post about it or maybe not even horny just ship art, and every reply will be “what did I just witness?” “Kill it with fire!” “You ruined my childhood!” As if the gorey robot show on YouTube made within the last five years is what they grew up on

Funny, this is a second completely different explanation of what they are, another person called them cats

Star Wars legends fans will say that the acolyte ruined Star Wars lore by introducing an alternative method of crystal bleeding (probably the most inconsequential piece of lore) and then look you dead in the eyes and with a completely straight face tell you “admiral thrawn keeps space dogs that are immune to force attacks and uses them as force EMPs”

Now that it’s been enough time for me to think about it, captain America in X-men 97 did kinda have a point. If he goes to any country and starts beating anyone up it WOULD cause an international war and he does have to worry about that

I don’t consider ninjago fans homophobic, they’re something else, something a level above/ they don’t just hate that Cole is gay they hate that this character who isn’t even their favorite having a boyfriend is some sort of dark stain on the universe itself. Long ago there was an age before gay people existed, and that age was bright and beautiful, but that age is gone

Actually I was so real for this

To (mostly) quote Winston Churchill, if you were my wife, id poison your coffee.

But not enough to kill you, no. Not enough to even cause you any pain or discomfort. But enough for you to slowly build an immunity to the poison. And then id move on to another poison. I would continue to build you up until you were unkillable. Then with your newfound strength we would rule the world.

I love how insanely quickly the attitude toward the Minecraft movie changed once people started realizing “wait… we can be cringe… and theres nothing wrong with that?”

If you hate Cyclops, I think it’s very likely that you don’t actually hate Cyclops, you just hate the dramatic manchild who only exists to be the love interest of Jean Grey, who herself exists only to be a love interest for him.

Cyclops is a flawed and messed up man. He’s angry, he acts irrationally, but importantly he knows this, and even more importantly he knows how to lock in when the X-men need their leader, and he’s a damn good one at that.

As for him being a love interest for Jean, yes that’s a super important part of his character, but it goes so far beyond him just being her high school boyfriend. He is the first person in her whole life who doesn’t want to control or contain her. He doesn’t fear her, he sees her and loves her. Phoenix and all. Through this lens they stop existing within a stereotypical love triangle, Jean becomes more than some weapon that needs to be hidden from the world like so many stories would like to say, and Scott grows and matures through her, rather than being stunted by his relationship with her.

Years of butchering this character have tried to make me hate him, but it will not work. If Scott Summers has no fans than I am dead.

Because the atla vs lok debate is growing AGAIN, here’s my thoughts on it

I don’t like the legend of korra. I don’t think it’s a good show and I am of the opinion it ruined a lot of the lore the last airbender made so well.

That said, I have NOTHING but respect for korra fans. Y’all are in the trenches day in and day out facing the world crowd a fandom can conjure

Hot take: magic isn’t a super power. If you’re a super hero and your power is you cast spells, I hate you.

Except for you zatanna, they could never make me hate you 💖

I lied. Put your clothes back on. I’m here to tell you why the inquisitors are the perfect representation of the galactic empire’s complete reliance on fear as a way of control and how easily that system falls when challenged

Batman movie written and shot like a horror movie. As we meet Bruce Wayne he’s his usual cheerful “Gotham’s most eligible bachelor” self, But he hears about a crime happening nearby and disappears into a nearby shadow. The film doesn’t even show him suiting up or leaving the room, he just steps into a shadow and is gone.

The batman himself is never fully in shot. It’s always just his eyes, his hand or his mouth. Characters don’t talk about the batman like a person, only as some supernatural creature, nobody’s EVER seen him in person. When he fights he doesn’t throw punches or throw batarangs, his grappling hook snags one crook and that crook is pulled into the shadows as their screams grow more faint. Each thug is picked off one by one.

the film focuses on the villain as the main character, who is some sort of mob boss like the penguin or a studious character like the riddler. Desperate to defeat this elusive specter that foils all their plans the villain slowly dedicates more and more of their life to finding the batman. They slowly drive themselves mad trying to defeat this impossible myth

I actually hate gatekeepers in fandom spaces so much like it’s not funny

Like people are having fun and then here comes a gatekeeper going “in order to pass you must solve my riddles three” shut up man no one likes you
