everytime someone makes up their mind on a character based on how they are portrayed in the mcu alone an angel loses its wings

The internet: hah typical marvel fans

Me, a gay who read x-men in middle school now forced to be in the same category as mcu redditors: I HATE THE MCU! I HATE THE MCU! I HATE THE MCU! I HATE THE MCU!!!!

[jinglebellrockstars]

you know in dystopia stories where the evil rulers give the citizens some kind of drug or something to keep them compliant and stuff? thats what the marvel cinematic universe is

[toddcowardd]

The Spiderverse movies already curbstomp No Way Homes sad attempt at adapting the spiderverse story but it is hilarious how across the spiderverse really highlights just how little impact toms peter has on the spiderman mythos overall. Theres like 3 direct references and 1 swipe to the mcu but nothing of them are about peter nor is peter even directly featured like everyother prominent version of spiderman in media. Fucking the spidercar is included as its own character! Truly just little ironboy jr with no meaningful, lasting identifying ties to Peter Parker and his legacy

god reaching the end of season 3 and seeing the sokovia accords play a huge part in the show henceforth (until the team accidentally does a time loop and the show goes full sci-fi) is like getting a glimpse into an MCU that actually paid attention to its politics and world building in a meaningful way, instead of the garbage inconsequential slop we got post endgame.

Me, 2013: Hah hah, I don’t really like MCU Tony Stark but I that’s just my opinion and if others like him, idolize him even, it’s fine. It’s fiction after all.

Me now: Tony Stark is awful both in-universe and In Reality, and if you like him you are actually incorrect.

Something something, living rent free in my mind and such, anyway I love them.

as we dance to the masochism tango

[jinglebellrockstars]

i think everything started to go downhill for the lgbt community when we started letting people say mcu movies were queer culture

[thatonedudeinthecorner]

Obsessed with the fact that the spideypool dynamic can be watered down to “miss you pookie bear” “oh lord” mindset

[jules-ln]

Bit out of nowhere from me but I hate hate HATE how nowadays comic book writers who have never touched an Iron Man comic before write him as a tech bro without any kind of class awareness

As if Tony hasn't canonically been homeless and almost died because of it

As if there weren't lots (and I mean LOTS) of Iron Man comics that are a direct critique of capitalism because no matter how intelligent and talented Tony is, he loses a lot of money because he focuses on doing the right thing and not on making the line go up

As if Iron Man didn't have lots and lots of old comics warning about climate change and global warming

And I blame 1) The Civil War comic and 2) The MCU for this

[no1pornstachefan]

This is exactly what happened in the Honda odyssey

@gracefulchristiangirl I found that old post I made right after Multiverse of Madness 😬 I thought maybe this would be more satisfying than my answer to your ask

I want to put even more thoughts down in writing about this movie but also I don't even want to relive it enough to do that.

Saddest thing for my nostalgic MCU heart to bear was the terrible treatment of Wanda. Like fine, tell me she didn't learn her lesson when her power got out of control and she tried to fix her past mistakes or achieve happiness recklessly. Tell me she didn't learn that lesson in WestView, and she's willing to kill to fill the grief-hole inside of her.

Tell me that. I might believe it. But you have to actually build up to it.

I have spent four movies and a beautiful television show watching this character develop as:

girl who's willing to let the ends justify the means until she learns that her own emotional baggage ("we wanted to change the world/" dealing with wanting revenge for her parents' deaths) comes at too high a price--AND THAT PRICE IS HURTING AND KILLING PEOPLE. She learns she is not okay with that, so she becomes

girl who tries to use her power to help, as an Avenger, but ultimately hurts people anyway...and learns that even with the potential danger of her power, she can't CONTROL their emotions about her and can only control her own actions and fears. But once that lesson is learned she becomes

girl who IS willing to sacrifice her own happiness for others (killing the love of her life) only to find that her ultimate sacrifice is meaningless, because she's still not in control. Which is hard, and for a normal person it might just have meant depression, but she happens to have unfathomable power, so she becomes

girl who loses control of her emotions and powers to fill her own grief-hole again, but on a larger scale (WestView) but then, once she realizes who she is and what she's done, that she's HURT PEOPLE AGAIN, she radically sacrifices her own emotional comfort and sacrifices the people she loves, again, turning back to an effort to control her newfound powers.

FROM THERE, we should have got a movie that wrapped that up. We should have seen Wanda moving on from her grief or getting to find happiness in new love or new healthy family. But we didnt get that. We got angry, so-done, unhinged Wanda who is basically corrupted by evil forces, (like she was in Age of Ultron) willing to do anything to get what she needs to feel better (like she began to be in WandaVision.)

So okay, if Sam Raimi wants me to believe that Wanda is willing to kill to get her kids back, I can believe it. Losing herself in grief and consequently losing control of her powers, even with the best of intentions, is kind of her whole thing. Revenge is even something she keeps coming back to, as a character. So if Sam Raimi wants me to believe that Wanda is a mass murderer on the level of a horror villain, all so she can have happiness, I COULD come around to believing him.

But you know what? You DON'T get me to believe that by writing Vision out. You DON'T get me to believe that by having Wanda, who was once a powerful girl with powers that were exploited by darker forces, be totally willing to cruelly suck the life out of a powerful girl with powers. You DON'T get me to believe that by having the same woman who, in every other film and show, falls apart when she realizes she's accidentally hurt people, ALSO spend a whole movie cutting superheroes in half, collapsing their skulls, snapping their necks, and callously walking over the bodies of crowds of people she's murdered. (And she even shows off her carelessness with quippy one-liners and snark while she's doing it.) You DON'T get me to believe that when, the last time I saw her, she was allowing her sons and husband to disappear out of existence for the sake of a small town's sanity. Not even to save their lives--just to give them a chance at happiness. Near-strangers. The last time I saw her, she was exchanging her sons, husband, and personal happiness so that near-strangers could have their normal lives back.

At the end of her character development before this movie, Wanda was a severely traumatized, grieving hero. but she was still a HERO. She was still actively trying to correct the ways she hurt others, and she was still sacrificing "being with my boys" to do that.

If you wanted me to forget that, Sam Raimi, and cheer while your annoying new starchild character beats up and ultimately leads to the arbitrary death of the character I've been following for 7+ years, then you should've done a better job.
