ok so I haven't watched the new she hulk but I've seen scenes and you know how some people are mad because like Matt is joking and happy. They say that's completely out of character but hear me out, that smiling joking Matt reminds me of college Matt. when we had flash backs of Foggy and Matt walking around campus and joking. To me seems like Matt just isn't at complete rock bottom like he was in a lot of Daredevil. Matt was going through it in Daredevil but now he's free, flirty and flipper than ever. Tbh good for him, he deserves it.

an epiphany: Silver does not, and cannot, have a backstory, simply because he is the archetypal pirate. and pirates do not have histories.
I do a lot of research on pirate history in my free time, and one thing that has always really struck me is just how little we have to go off of. We do have primary source records of their exploits - primarily reports from the crews of ships they attacked, and if they were unlucky enough, transcripts from their trials and executions , but as soon as you ask "well, who were they before they were pirates?", almost always, there is simply nothing to draw up, even for the most famous of figures. Calico Jack Rackham appears on the scene in 1718, already Charles Vane's quartermaster, with nothing to say of where he came from. Samuel Bellamy sailed from Cape Cod to raid the treasure-wreck of the Urca d'Lima, but his life in Massachusetts is marred in speculation. Blackbeard made landfall in Nassau soon after the War of Spanish Succession, but so many pirates used pseudonyms that we cannot even be sure that his real name was Edward Teach. All we can say is maybe, maybe, maybe.
so of course Silver, being the icon that we can trace nearly all of our modern conceptions of piracy to, would have no past. the real ones didn't either. As far as written history is concerned, the sea conjured them up. Even if their stories were not unremarkable, they were simply... without relevance.

Ya'll may laugh at this, but I am only going to be able to watch certain upcoming movies (Over the Hedge, Flushed Away, Shrek the Third) in the Dreamworks watch knowing that How to Train Your Dragon will be waiting for me if I'm strong enough to get to it

I keep overthinking but then that one Hades clip where he goes “I can’t believe you’re getting worked up over some GUY! He’s a GUY!” comes to mind and I’m okay again. The cycle repeats every hour but irregardless.
