Being someone who has read every appearance of John Walker that has ever been published by Marvel Comics makes it crazy when people like... complain about him. "John Walker is a bad Captain America!" Yes, that is... like, his entire narrative function. He is a warped reflection of Steve Rogers, a version of Steve that does not say no to orders no matter how craven, a version of Steve that does not restrain himself in battle, a vocally politically conservative Steve unlike comics Steve's vaguely center-liberal politics. He is meant to be social commentary, meant to be an antagonist, meant to essentially protect Steve's moral goodness by being a representation of every bad thing Steve isn't. He only didn't become a straight up villain because he is narratively and thematically more interesting when he is a hero and can challenge Steve's authority and actions, or later, Hawkeye's position via being an equal to them, and not a bad guy. I know the way the MCU has articulated his character is different but at the core he represents the same thing; what Steve (and by extension, Sam) isn't. He is meant to protect the idea of Captain America by being bad at it, so we cheer when the Right, Correct Captain America takes over.

"John Walker killed that guy" and in comics he killed 14, I'm honestly shocked he stopped at one.

I dunno I just feel deeply confused seeing gifs or posts chronicling the bad things he's done as if they're a gotcha and not like, just him fulfilling what is still ultimately his narrative purpose. Regardless of how you feel if he was justified in killing that dude or not, the MCU clearly does not think he is, because the sound design, cinematography and acting of that scene are meant to be jarring, visceral, and Wrong. These are not hard concepts to grasp. I feel like I'm going insane.

star trek tos is deeply entrenched in its identity as a 60s tv show for better or for worse (both) but i think retroactively the city on the edge of forever ends up showcasing this more now since its set in a time we can now as 21st century viewers connect with being closer to the time it was produced, rather than the nebulous 23rd. it's interesting because for me i think the single episode informs the way i connect an imagined future to the actual real 1960s the show was written in, particularly in the language and the way relationships between characters are depicted in the way they speak to one another. in that single episode it suddenly feels that the coded language everyone uses, the subtext, the hints and euphemisms is a necessity of the world rather than a feature of the show. and suddenly (for me, at least) that totally shapes the rest of the way i view the rest of the original series. though the way they speak to one another doesn't really tangibly change all that much, when they're placed in the setting of the 1930s the way that kirk and spock speak to each other and about one another entirely shifts.

edith asks kirk in regards to his relationship with spock "I still have a few questions I'd like to ask about you two. Oh, and don't give me that 'questions about little old us' look, you know as well as I do how out of place you two look here." which. well. hello. and later when she asks "Why does Spock call you captain? Were you in the war together?" and kirk says "we... served together" its like yes the obfuscation of their identities and who they are to one another is a necessity of the plot and time travel reasons but i also can't pretend that particular response doesn't color kirks line 2 episodes later in amok time "you've been called the best first officer in the fleet, that's an... enormous asset to me" in a different light. the necessity of secrets and closed doors and frantically having to conceal themselves and their tiny little apartment with a pair of twin beds and ediths "you, by his side as if you've always been there and always will" and "'Captain'? See, even when he doesn't say it, he does" well i can't act like it doesn't change the way i see their enforced professional distance in other episodes, even when they're back safe in their own century. its why The conversation cut from the original harlon ellison script hits seriously i think. it's like a deeply personal confession of desire for a life that could never be: "On my world the nights are very long. The sound of the silver bird against the sky is very sweet. My people know there is always time enough for everything. You would be comfortable there" and a wistful acceptance ("All the time in the world...") in another time in another life in another place it could be but just not this one. spock's endless resignation. well it just changes everything for me. star trek is about the 1960s!!!!!!

[holdmymetaphor]

in like the second to last episode when taub was like why dont u respect wilsons wishes to die

house yells at him about how hard it has been to choose to live

and then we cut to other doctors and nurses and patients who hear him yelling this taboo thing, looking at him like hes weird and wrong and making a ruckus

ugh. houses reaction to it hurts me. its just such a clear reminder of how alone he feels/is.

OH YEAH. okay one thing I DO want to talk about from Skyfall. That I think we should be talking about more. is the "he went into the priest hole for TWO (2) DAYS" thing.

I had like. known that was A Thing, but ig didn't see or forgot what it looked like. but the first look at it I was like. whoa. this is.... how do I say. like there's something visceral and primal and primitive about it just being bare rock. and I made a comment about how insane that is, and esp seeing the mine/cave-like rock and the thought of TWO DAYS down there.. that it's sth "like returning to some sort of primordial earthly womb (tomb)"

but then later they showed that the priest hole is NOT just like a bolthole. but a whole-ass tunnel system!!! EXTRA wild! what was Bond doing down there? WHERE exactly was he in the priest hold then? Was he hunkered down in some corner? Was he wandering around the caves like some sort of primordial spectre.

also there's something interesting/cool about it being like. seemed like it was just going to be a bolthole, and then they revealed it was this whole-ass tunnel system. Skyfall has a lot of maze/hidden/hiding symbolism, and there's something interesting about there being this, like. hidden earthly labyrinth at the heart/hearth/underneath Skyfall.

also the idea of baby Bond wandering a stone labyrinth under the very bones of his ancestral home after the death of his parents... and the whole when he came out he wasn't a boy anymore or whatever it was exactly Kincade said.... hmmm......... Minotaur? Minotaur vibes perhaps? I think there is something here- I think there's something to be said about hidden monstrosity/adversity bringing out monstrosity in us, plus the whole nature/nurture question of like, Bond and HIS "nature," was he born brutal or was he made brutal

(by his career, by his forging as a 00 agent, by M's machinations-- speaking of machinations. but okay god the way she. Manages him... I DO think there's a lot of interesting parts throughout the movies but there was a particular moment in Skyfall when she was like. hunt them down. for Ronson. like ggngng that was like. the emotional equivalent of those loop/stick leashes they use to capture stray dogs.... lowering the loop around his neck and tightening... and then once it's tightened she can move him around cuz it's a stick and not just a rope leash, she can literally physically lead him...) (and also the nature/nurture question of Silva's rats thing)

GUYS MANIFEST ME LOCKING IN TODAY I WANNA ANSWER MY ASKS BUT TS4 HAS BEEN STEALING HOURS OF MY LIFE HELP

[gideonisms]

I am of two minds about giving myself more writing deadlines. On the one hand I had so much fun writing for a prompt & deadline for the fic exchange but on the other hand I DID stay up until 7 am to get it done. I have not been able to find a good balance between putting SOME pressure on myself because writing is a hobby I overall enjoy and I like it when people read my work. and putting too much pressure on myself and burning out
