{{Ellie POV}}

I heard footsteps, and I started panicking again, thinking it was my mother. “Please don’t hurt me.” I said, feeling tears in my eyes. Of course, I didn’t know that it wasn’t my mother, but somebody who would help me. “What are you talking about?” I heard a man say, and I flinched back, before realizing I might be safe. “Who- who are you?” I asked, my voice small. “Who are you?” the man shoots back. “E- Ellie Jones. Now answer my question. Who are you, and why are you in my apartment?” I say, trying to stand up. “I’m with SHIELD, and that’s all you need to know.” the man says, as another set of footsteps approaches. My head swivels towards the sound, alert. “And what is SHIELD?” I ask, still listening for the other set of footsteps, which had stopped. “SHIELD is a government agency that helps people like you.” a woman’s voice says from in front of me.

“Well, I don’t need your help.” I say. “Yeah right.” the man says, and I turn my head towards him. “Come on. We’ll help you.” the woman says. “I don’t want or need help.” I say again. “Please listen to us, Ellie. You’re not safe here.” the woman says. “And why is that?” I ask. “There are people who, if they knew what you could do, would hurt you.” the woman says. “And how do I know that you aren’t one of them?” I ask. “You don’t. Please, just trust me.” the woman says, and I hesitate before nodding. “Ok, good. Come on, Ellie.” the woman says as I stand up. I hear two sets of footsteps walking away, and I slowly follow, my arms out. “What are you doing?” the woman says. “Trying to not smack face first into a wall. Duh.” I say, feeling a wall in front of me. “What are you talking about?” the man says. “I can’t see shit.” I say, trying to tell them I’m blind without actually saying those two words. “Oh Ellie.” the woman says. “Nope. I don’t want pity. I’ve survived 14 years like this. I’m fine.” I say, as I feel a hand slip into one of mine. I flinch back, panicking again.

“Ellie, calm down.” the woman says, and I take a deep breath. The woman guides me somewhere, then tells me that there is a step up. I slowly take a step up, stumbling before I catch myself. I haul myself up, and hear the slam of a door shutting next to me. I hear the two people getting in, and feel the vehicle start moving. “Where are we going?” I ask after a few silent minutes. “You’ve heard of the Avengers, right?” I hear the woman say. “Yeah, they’ve been all over the news.” I say. “Well, that’s where we’re taking you.” the woman says. “Why?” I ask.

“They might be able to help you.” the man says. I nod, leaning my head back. I stay like that for a while, until the car stops about an hour later. I pretend to be asleep, shutting my eyes. “Come on, Ellie.” the woman says. I groan, sitting up. “Where are we again?” I ask, slowly getting out of the vehicle. “We’re outside the Avengers compound.” the woman says. I knit my eyebrows, trying to imagine what it could possibly look like. The woman leads me inside, telling me about herself and SHIELD. The only reason I know that we stepped inside is because I felt the breeze of the ac hitting me. “My name is Maria, by the way.” I nod, adding it to my mental notes of everybody I know. Which was very short.

Maria leads me to an elevator, and I tentatively step in. I feel the elevator jolt, then start moving up. I grab onto whatever is in reach, which happens to be Maria. I think. “Ellie, please take your hand off of me.” Maria says gently.

Ok, so it was Maria.

“Sorry.” I say quickly, letting go. A few minutes later, the elevator stops and I almost sigh in relief. Maria leads me out, and I start listening intently, hearing several voices going back and forth about something. I start dragging my feet, regretting my decision. “Why did I agree to this?” I mutter quietly. “Probably because you trusted me.” Maria says. I sigh, and bow my head.

I liked Rebel Moon well enough, especially since my queen Sofia Boutella was the star. Visually, it’s so lovely to look at, and I liked seeing the creature designs. However, I do think I would have enjoyed it more as a series, wherein the characters would be more fleshed out, and I could have formed more of an emotional attachment. With so many characters packed into a short amount of time, it was more like being introduced to concepts than people, and a lot of emotional beats felt more superficial. That said, I look forward to the next movie, and maybe the director’s cut will give me more time with the characters, like I hoped.

Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire (2023) & Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver (2024)

Beberapa tahun yang lalu, Zack Snyder memiliki ide untuk membuat sebuah film di dalam semesta Star wars dengan cerita yang mengikuti plot klasik Seven Samurai (1954). Sebuah plot yang sudah banyak dikisahkan oleh film-film lainnya. Tapi saya pun tak bosan-bosan untuk menonton film dengan pola seperti ini hehehe. Kurang lebih kisahnya diawali dengan sebuah wilayah yang akan diserang oleh para…

Cranky Curmudgeon: "Rebel Moon: A Child of Fire"

Rebel Moon: A Child of Fire I’m constantly struggling over the concept of the word “original”. If you or I drew a picture of the Pietà, would you then be upset if people said the drawing wasn’t original? I mean, you are the one who drew the picture, right? It’s the same kind of problem I have with commercials that say their product is free for $10 shipping. In the world of movies, I run hot and…

BREAKING: Israel is currently bombing Syria’s capital city of Damascus, targeting residential areas.

Within a single day alone, Israel has dropped bombs Gaza, South Lebanon and Syria.

This is not victim behavior.

This is terrorism.

‘Rebel Moon’ Review: Snyder’s Latest Entry Is A Solid Intergalactic Feature | CCXP

“What if a Star Wars movie was made by Zack Snyder?” Rebel Moon is an epic film with amazing battles and an awesome soundtrack. However, it does have some of the same issues as other movies directed by Snyder, like excessive slow-motion and a story that lacks originality. From Zack Snyder, the filmmaker behind 300, Man of Steel, and Army of the Dead, comes Rebel Moon, an epic science-fiction…

Main Masterlist

{{Ellie POV}}

As we get closer to the voices, I think over my decisions earlier today. I regret them all, because I really do not want to be here. “Come on, Ellie.” Maria says. I lick my chapped lips, regretting that decision too, because now they sting. We arrive in front of where the voices were coming from, and they suddenly stop. I swallow, fear rising in my chest.

God, how I wish I could start the day over.

“Who is this?” I hear a man say. I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to control the panic. I let go of Maria’s hand, feeling my temperature rise. “This is Ellie.” Maria says. I open my mouth to speak, but nothing comes out.

I’m so screwed. My temperature is rising, and I have no idea what to do to calm down. I can not afford to panic right now, but was I still panicking? Yes, yes I was.

“Hello? Is she mute or something?” another man says. “I am not mute.” I snap, anger replacing the fear and panic in my chest. “Then why weren’t you speaking?” the same man says. I take a deep breath, knowing I can’t afford my anger to spike any higher. “None of your business, alright?” I say, calming down slightly. Slightly.

“Maria, who is this?” a woman says. “I’m Ellie.” I say, turning my head towards the woman’s voice. “Ok, Ellie. What are you doing here?” the woman asks. I hear something creak, then footsteps coming towards me. “Apparently, I’m too dangerous to be in the real world.” I say, turning my head towards where I thought Maria was at the last two words. I feel a hand grab my arm, and I yank my arm away. “Don’t touch me.” I say. “Why is your skin so hot?” the woman says. I turn my head towards her voice, and feel my hand heat up. I hold my hand up, and hear gasps around the room. “Fire?” a third man says, with what I believe to be disbelief in his voice. I nod, forcing myself to calm down before I set everything on fire.

I lick my lips again, and they sting again. “Can I leave?” I say quietly. “No, Ellie. I already told you that you would be staying here.” Maria says. “Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Hold up. Did you even confirm this with anybody?” the first man says. “Yes, I did. I cleared it with Fury.” Maria says.

I zone out as everybody starts talking, wishing I wasn’t in the current position I was in. There is a muffled boom several yards above the room I was currently standing in, and I listen curiously.
