I think another clear theme of Spiderverse is that, as we’re told in the first movie, anyone can be Spider-Man. But in the second movie, Miguel tells us that Spider-Man has rules. Certain things have to happen, certain people have to die, certain people aren’t meant to be Spider-Man. And the message there is that, once someone makes those kinds of rules, you run. Because it’s just not true. Anyone, literally anyone, can be Spider-Man. There is no requirement. We’ve been shown you don’t even need to be bitten by a spider!

And with the amount of people comparing Spiderverse to the queer experience, this is especially important. There are no rules to being queer. There are no labels that are exclusive. There are no labels that are even required. As soon as someone says you can’t be queer in a certain way, or certain identities don’t ‘count’ for whatever reason, you need to run. They are liars. There are no rules, and there never have been. You are queer because you said so, and this is your decision alone.

If you decide you’re Spider-Man, then you’re Spider-Man. And if you decide you’re going to save everyone you can, then you will. It’s as simple as that.

Interview With the Vampire (2022-) is one of the best adaptations of anything ever because it is clearly made with so much love for the original text but it also is very open about critiquing the books while also existing in perfect, constant conversation with it. every change made is a strong writing choice on its own, but it is also made 10x stronger when viewed not just as an alteration of the original but an evolution.

louis being black and a brothel owner rather than a plantation owner is a really fucking smart idea all by itself. but it also directly furthers the differences in worldview between louis and lestat from the books. daniel being older, smarter, keener - much more obsessed with the truth - is an excellent conceit on its own, but its even better when we know that this is round 2 of the interview. he's learned from the awful way the interview went in the books, and now hes here for the truth. devils minion being a dance that arguably stretches decades (even if there wasnt a chase arc in the 70s!) only heightens their game of cat and mouse. armand being an adult physically and also being a POC is fucking inspired, both for how it places him in contrast to louis, and also because it allows them to avoid casting a minor in a very sexual role while still keeping the same dynamic (i.e. the frequent infantilization/fetishization of POC, especially asians).

The fact that some people are mad about its adaptation style boggles my mind, because I honestly think this set a new fucking standard for what adaptations should be. I'm insane about it. If they aren't changing the game like IWTV 2022 who even cares anymore.

Something about Jacob lounging like a Jarl on a throne with his warprize hanging off his shoulder has me a lil feral ngl

i feel like the queer community lost when we started policing labels and making sure everyone used the Correct™ labels instead of letting a person decide what feels right for them

can we talk about gideon the first can we please talk about gideon the first. he is constantly being used as a tool or a weapon. john takes his arm off and uses him as a bomb. he sends him to melbourne and stops his heart. john resurrects him and shapes him into his "attack dog," a role that is absolutely informed by his race, as the one confirmed dark-skinned character among the lyctors. he's never treated the way augustine and mercymorn are. pre-resurrection, a— and m— sleep in the facility with john but g— sleeps outside in his ute. post-ascension, he spends 10,000 years with gaps in his memory, feeling as though he's gone mad, and he gets no sympathy for it. he does john's bidding, unquestioningly. he fights varun the eater alone, because mercymorn and augustine leave him there, and he dies, and nobody notices. the closest thing to a eulogy he gets from the people who have been his companions for 10,000 years is:

g—, you died for nothing.

Has anyone stopped to consider that everyone getting reanimated, while certainly coming back wrong, may be acting so violently because last thing they remember they were at the hospital or maybe even at home and now they're completely naked here in some creepy ass basement with two freaky homo doctors standing over them? Bro I'd be attacking too what if they're stealing my organs for their sick pleasure.

My big gripe with the athena copaganda storylines (besides the obvious) is that she never seems to learn anything from them. They constantly set up these arcs primed to challenge her world view only for her to stubbornly stay the same.

Like, assuming there’s something to people’s spec about the plane going down it’s seems likely the plot is gonna be athena having to work with emmett’s killer to save the day etc etc. Which in theory at least, should force her to confront her black and white view of the justice system (especially given the obvious hypocrisy of her expecting amir to forgive bobby). But will the show do that? I’m doubtful.

So Romania claimed to have video evidence Cecile took 84 seconds & USAG claims to have video evidence Cecile took 47 or 55 seconds, but the entire time FIG has had official Omega time keeping that says Cecile took 64 seconds. CAS will surely uphold official electronic time entries over any subjective video evidence.

Now that we know FIG has had official omega time keeping for their inquiries this whole time, CAS made the right decision. It went from being a subjective field of play decision if it was based on video evidence or there was no time keeping the whole time to indisputable objective procedure error that is officially on record. If FIG was never keeping record, it could be human error like Sabrina OOB. But yeah omega is indisputable unlike video evidence, human timekeeping, stop watches, etc.

Well it turns out FIG has more technology & procedures in place than I thought... They have official omega time keeping for inquiries & you can actually inquire NDs like OOB or time deductions. Coaches need to submit their inquiries on time & for the right thing. But ultimately it's still FIG's fault & they need to make sure this doesn't happen again. WTC superior jury needs to automatically reject late inquiries & not credit dance elements their own help desks say should be downgraded. Line judges need better technology, view, or replay than tiny monitor screens. And most of all, gymnasts shouldn't be punished for FIG's mistakes. Donatella resign challenge. She deserves the consequences. Not Jordan, Sabrina, or Ana.

eoa is really good when it comes to character relationships (not perfect, but very good) so it's kinda sad that they never do anything interesting with gabe and mateo. like you have a straight laced goodie-two-shoes cop and a former criminal in the same friend group and ... not talk about it?
