to celebrate 8 years since civil war release, let’s review all the ways tony stark was an absolute loser and actually the reason thanos won in infinity war:

created an omnicidal A.I. that the rest of the team warned him against creating

decided that the entire team needed to become government puppets because he felt guilty for creating said A.I. that, once again, NO ONE SUPPORTED HIM IN MAKING

(also the reason bucky was forced back into the fight bc tony caused sokovia and thus caused zemo’s need for revenge but i digress on that pt)

when members of the team who can’t disconnect from their abilities raised concerns about how the accords dehumanized them, he had them arrested or locked them in his tower

bribed (yes, bribed) a child into fighting on his side because he knew he was outmatched

instructed vision to shoot sam out of the sky and then shot sam point-blank when he avoided the blast that would’ve left him severely injured AND LANDED TO HELP THE PERSON IT HIT

wanda on the raft. this is its own point. he let her be restrained and collared like a fucking DOG as if he hadn’t already done enough damage in her life (killing her parents & brother)

proceeded to break the accords THAT HE HELPED WRITE to chase cap across the globe because he felt left out of the action

blamed a brainwashed pow for BEING FORCED to kill the starks AGAINST HIS WILL and proceeded to BLOW HIS ARM OFF and ATTEMPT TO KILL HIM DESPITE KNOWING THAT NONE OF IT WAS HIS CHOICE

mocked natasha’s trauma because she dared to disagree with his methods (he is, in fact, incapable of letting go of his ego for one goddamn second)

even after receiving an apology, refused to contact cap for three years despite KNOWING about the threat of thanos

in conclusion,

while on the topic of iron posting. a very small very insignificant thing that i really enjoy is that nobody really harasses it for not speaking. and like. we don't know precisely why it doesn't speak. it could be because it's mute, it could be due to an unseen injury, it could just be a selective choice, it could be that it never bothered to learn human language to begin with, etc etc. but there's never been a scene (at least as far as i can recall) where mr iron is specifically called out or pressured or anything of the sort. not even by its own haters 4 haters coworkers. and yeah this is realistically probably because its an ESPECIALLY deadly space bat that could kill you six ways from sunday if you pissed it off, but also, y'know, sometimes it's really nice just having a mute character that's treated Normally for once

maybe it's the individualism or """main character mentality""" or whatever but I feel like people are so unwilling to give others grace or benefit of the doubt online. They're so quick to assume the worst, that other people are much dumber or meaner or more willfully ignorant than they actually are.

that person who left an annoying comment on your art might have just wanted to share a silly thought but didn't realize how it might come across without context. all those people who tagged your post with the same blorbo you're sick of probably just wanted to make a joke for their followers and didn't see everyone else making it before them. maybe the artists making nothing but fluff content of your favourite edgy media are having a shitty time outside of the internet and this is how they comfort themselves. you don't know!

obviously people are allowed to be annoyed but i think we're just gonna make ourselves miserable if we constantly assume everyone else is an asshole or a dumbass or intentionally trying to get on our nerves or whatever

Before someone says 'command not through fear but loyalty and love??? But Doom's a villain and his people hate him lmao'

Ding dong you're wrong <3

Like Victor so often gets flanderized into the 'Evil despot who rules with an iron fist who is a sucky man who sucks' but his story genuinely does not work if he does not see himself, and act as, the hero of the story. Yes he can be extreme, yes he can be cruel, and often his downfall comes from the fact that he tries to bend the world to his will by force rather than work with it and have the space to allow for others to help him but like, he staged a successful revolution and overthrew the previous king with the help of the people.

Same people who had no qualms when he named himself the ruler of Latveria and used his intellect to help the land prosper.

He is a dictator by definition but canonically his is the only dictatorship that works and is healthy lmao.

Something about being prudently, desperately fed on by Vampire Miguel-- being easily caged in against the shower's wall with his towering voluminous stature, hot silken lips being pursed strictly onto the torrid spot he was drinking from, his solid body pressing and sturdy while he growls in guttural satisfaction in a esteemed shower that just fogs my mind.

it's literally soooo fun to watch a bunch of mecha anime & be able to spot where various other projects (probably) drew inspiration from

i just watched gunbuster 2 & there's a part where they're excavating what is suspected to be an ancient, ultra-powerful mecha, one of the original buster machines, which has been buried & sleeping for 10000 years (& then it wakes up and wrecks shit). and i was like. ohhh. this is Rigor! this is one of the ingredients of Rigor from f@tt: counter/weight.

Good morning/ afternoon/ evening Blue :D

(for the hot take)

Honestly Sonic X is not as good as many people say. And not because of Chris (that for some reason gets a lot of hate). I just think that the concept is cool but the writing is messed up. Especially of some characters like Amy and Tails. Instead of Sonic's friends they made them his #1 fans😭 as if they wanted to make these characters annoying on purpose so that Sonic's the cool guy which really didn't make the show very enjoyable for me. But ofc it's sega

Good morning! ^-^

Strongly agree | Agree | Neutral | Disagree | Strongly disagree

I haven't watched Sonic X in ages, but I must readily admit that the first episode is one of my favourites... because Chris isn't in it for most of it, haha. (The actual most favourite is Defective Detectives and I just skip the part about the two worlds causing time to freeze or whatever lol.) I think that the whole premise inherently provides issues: naturally they'll want to give the humans attention (why else would they be created?), but that draws screentime away from the game characters, who I'm far more interested in. (Related to your statement, I think that is one of the reasons Chris is so disliked: he takes up roles that were filled by game characters, like at the end of the SA2 arc. Considering the fact X!Amy isn't the most charming of portrayals, a scene wherein she tells Shadow about how the world is good and people are inherently worth protecting could have shown a good side of her. But instead Chris got it, and I feel like people experience that as leeching a much-needed role from a character already not presented so well throughout the series.) And the incorporating of the game stories in the second season became rather messy, resulting in quite some unanswered questions (e.g. how Eggman was born on the human planet yet transported to Sonic's world and how Gerald managed to create an anthro hedgehog. Have those ever been addressed?). Furthermore, from what I remember, Sonic just spent a lot of time lazing around or doing his own thing before coming in at the end to help out. I don't think it's unfitting for him, but I agree that it feels like the other game characters thus often got the shaft to give Sonic his big hero moment.

But here I must once again reiterate that I just haven't watched it in ages and this is all from memory. I do enjoy puns and stuff and iirc the English show was riddled with them, so that's at least a point in its favour! :> But overall, I think I'd much rather have gotten an anime entirely about Sonic's world and the adventures to be had there, instead of incorporating the "real" world in it. But then also not how it was done in Season 3, with a lot of grimdarkness and stuff XD In that regard, I think the first season was "better" than the second: the stories were entirely original, whereas the second season was kind of "game plots but now with the humans put in them". I really enjoyed watching X when I first became a fan (it greatly helped with my English!) and I'd be more than happy to binge-rewatch it again one day, but in hindsight, I can also see why people dislike the show so much.
