#xmen franchise

[nerdby]

Incels are just going out of their way to embarrass themselves today. Alan Cumming said X-2: X-Men United is the gayest film he's done so far because of the political subtext and the fact that the X-Men are a metaphor for marginalized communities, and there are just a million dudes saying he's insane. Meanwhile I'm sitting here wondering if we're all watching the same movie.

This scene is a direct reference to Bobby Drake/Ice Man coming out as gay in the comics and as a queer person, yes, I have absolutely been asked similar questions in real life.

Xmen and X2 Review

Hello. Marvel Fan here who knows barely anything about Xmen (yes we exist. We're fucking lazy)

I wanna get into a new genre of Marvel comics because there's only so much Spiderman you can consume from Zeb Wells. No Silk this year has made me rethink life and my life choises as a straight white man. And this usually affects everyone else. So here we are

I watched Xmen from 2000 and X2. Both felt the same, but one hit differently to the other imo

Xmen is a great movie. It still holds up even in 2024. With upgraded technology and videography of todays world it will be one of the best movies post-endgame and it there would be no debate. Each character served the plot well, and no single character stole the limelight. Each actor worked their ass off for their role and there was a lotta love that went into the movie. The writing is surprisingly good for 2000's superhero movies. Which was not taken that seriously until Post-Raimi. Especially Marvel movies around that time, does anyone remember any others off the top of their head?? IS THAT A NO? I WONDER WHY (now with post-rant clarity. Fantastic 4 (which i haven't watched) and Iron Man was in the 2000's. Other movies weren't great or memerable). Magneto's reasoning for wanting to turn the people who hate Mutants into Mutants was a great villain plot that u lowkey could get behind. And you can tell there was drafts of writing for the movie, which is good. Writers up and coming, always write more than one draft. Things click after at least the third draft.

X2 is sadly different. It didn't hit the same as the previous movie. It felt forced. Some characters motives didn't serve the main plot, which I don't mind. But Wolverine didn't really do anything until the last 5 minutes of the final battle. Why? Cyclops... What the fuck? Don't like that guy

Jean Gray. I guess was fine, in comparison to the last movie? Not as good.

Rogue? I had to look her up to rememmber her. She's not forgettable. I am shit with names. I wrote a serial killer and called her Sasha, because I couldn't remember her first draft name. I nicked it from Sasha who killed DI Poole from Death in Paradise.

Other than that. Stryker was a good character, I hope he dies in a sink that grinds up his balls and then makes him eat it

Xmen: 8/10

X2: 5/10

I really wish more than anything that Marvel would make a live-action Cloak & Dagger reboot. It would fit perfectly with Phase 5 & 6, too, cause their origin story in the comics is that they were kidnapped and experimented with experimental drugs that gave them their powers. It would explain the sudden rise of enhanced individuals in the MCU.

Because it makes literally no fucking sense that everyone just suddenly has superpowers now, and its super annoying.

They could also introduce Mister Sinister whose an immortal X-Men villain that’s known for first discovering the mutant X-gene and frankensteining the shit out of people by performing experiments on them against their will. Sinister is responsible for the creation of the anti-hero Archangel — AKA Warren Worthington III. Warren is the disgraced son of the business tycoon Warren Worthington II. If you’ve ever watched X-Men: The Last Stand — do not feel obligated to put yourself through that trauma; just pretend it doesn’t exist like we all do — you’re already familiar with the character. The kid who tried to chop his wings off.

That’s Warren.

But Sinister kidnapped Warren while Warren was a member of the X-Men, did some fucked up shit to him, CUT OFF HIS WINGS (I think — its been a while), and replaced them with completely awesome adamantium wings. Adamantium is technically the strongest metal in the Marvelverse — or it was pre-MCU.

Fucking Disney.

Adamantium has a higher density than vibranium, so with the right amount force it could cut through solid vibranium like a fucking butter. But adamantium is more vulnerable to extremely high temperatures and is virtually useless unless you’re able to melt it down to a liquid form. Because once it becomes a solid adamantium is indestructable.

The differences are explained here.

But, unfortunately, Disney rewrote the fucking X-Men origin story so that mutants aren’t even mutants anymore and the powers they manifest during puberty via the X-gene is a gift from the Celestials.

Yeah, Disney turned the fucking X-Men into a metaphor for creationism.

A deeply offensive metaphor for creationism.

Any X-Men fan with a modicum of common sense can tell you that the

X-Men storyline parallels the Civil Rights movement and the battle for minorities to obtain those rights.

The story is about mutants literally preventing and evading mass genocide against mutant-kind carried out against them by their evolutionary precursors, homosapians — AKA humans with no powers (mutants were dubbed by Erik Lensherr, homosuperior and the name stuck). Its all about an Us vs Them mentality, and senseless violence carried out against minorities.

Mutants are a metaphor for queers, transgender, non-Christian, and BIPOC citizens who do not fit into the mainstream white heteronormative societal norms.

X-Men emphasizes that mutants must be embrace their powers — their personal differences — in order to truly master them. It teaches us that it is okay to be different and it is our differences that make us powerful.

Unless you’re Jean Gray that is and then you get motherfucking DID forced upon you by a holier-than-thou psychic.

And the mutants,

rewritten by Disney, were born from Celestial vomit.

Puke.

In other words, everyone who does not fit into the white Christian narrative was born from a sickness.

There is no homoerotic tension at all😁😁😁

scott and logan as a pairing is just chef's kiss because you have the team loner who is a soft dad and then you have the team leader who has to be strict dad because he needs to keep everyone safe. like they both care so much in such diametric ways that makes me feral. like scott is so self sacrificing that he needs logan to save him because he will literally martyr himself for the team. and logan will also just martyr himself but will be like, because the team doesn't need me. and ahhhh they need to make out and take care of each other. and i am not even talking about how logan steals scott's motorcycle and things. like he will be like scott is a nerd but also love all of scott's nerdy stuff. god, i love them. like i just want soft scenes with them. scott needs someone who won't die and logan needs someone who won't leave. and ahhh, let me scream about them

Rewatched Deadpool 1. Took notes.

WARNING: Discussion of mental illness topics, ending yourself, trauma, violence, etc.

Civil debate/ conversation welcomed. Sorry its super long. I think a lot.

Notes:

You know what? We see Wade coloring a lot. What's our status on just giving him cartoons snacks and coloring books? He needs it.

I think we all forget how actually impressive this man is. I just watched this cancer having fucker do like 50 flips.

Whatta man is so Logan Howlett coded.

"Bad deadpool" "good deadpool!"

Deadpool has been helping kids for a while. He terrified a little creep while he himself was a huge creep.

Missed up his words and Vanessa smiled at him. With that "aw hes cute" kinda thing.

When talking about their childhood (whether he's lying or not, hes not about the uncle) and he outdos her so much that she giggles.

The first date he takes her ducking skiiballing instead of yk prostitute stuff

Hes so romantic oh my god.

Theyre giggling and joking like all the time. Personally thanksgiving is my favorite scene before he proposes with a fucking ring pop.

I shouldn't laugh but the way he said "wtf" when passing out

Vanessa instantly jumping to "what can we do? There has to be something" makes me instantly respect her as a chronically ill person myself. Partners who medically defend each other make me so happy because a lot of people divorce their partners when they get "too sick" let alone dont show up to specialist appointments.

Him accepting death so quickly is a sign of mental illness, and you can see him be confused on why shes so upset. Shes crying and hes sitting here like "why do you care if I die or not?" He physically feels so unloved that he just doesn't get it.

"I dont know. Might further the plot. " Oh, so you know about wades little mental tv show he puts on in his head as a coping mechanism?

Also... Weasel.. YOU KNOW WHO ELSE IS A WEASEL!? Shit sorry wrong movie.

Its not until now that hes crying because he realizes if he does then no more vanessa. We already know hes very co dependent and many people only care about themselves BECAUSE of other people. Which is also considered a sign of wanting to ☠️ self.

The whole "superheros are all lame ass teachers pets" thing is so funny if you think about how much beef he has with the xmen when in reality I have a feeling Wade would love charles in a "Ugh im in trouble with Daddy wheel chair again." COUGH "old bald heavens gate looking mother fucker" COUGH

"Thats not nice" No. But wade is genuienly not nice either.

"This is embarrassing. Please stop, " Colosus said what we all were thinking.

Bro literally cut/broke off his own hand and didn't whine a single time. If you ever. EVER hear this man express pain it is 99.9% his own choice to let you know that it hurts.

During his changing process, Francis says "the only thing that doesn't survive is a sense of humor" wade says "we'll see about that" and smirks.

What also makes sense to me is that he did NOT break easily. They did test after test after test and this man still wasn't breaking. His spirit is incredibly strong and as much as we enjoy joking about how stupid he is, Wade is extremely resourceful.

Its like he has created an alter ego of humor and kindess in order to keep up with the fact he DOES understand how fucked up this world is and whats happening/happened around him but refuses to acknowledge it until he has too. Ussually for survival.

Ive seen theories that he has DID or a type of Scizophreania and the voices in the comics are obviously in his head. I have mixed feelings about it because even his thoughts have thoughts of their own in some cases. Talking to no one is often a sign of abadonment, esspecially in children who are school age and get lonely when taken from their families to attend school. Its almost as if wade never lost his and hes subconsiously talking to himself to keep himself calm/ from panicking in high stress situations.

"But then how does he know hes in a movie" thats the thing. He doesn't. Hes pretending to cope. Main charaters cant die and until he dies he has this mental show/movie going on to keep himself from realizing all of this is true. That this is reality.

Cunningham mentions breakfast for his kids and suddenly, wade wakes up. Hes not joking anymore. This is a "oh shit... I wanna make breaktsst for my kids too... with my wife vanessa" moment.

"So whats wrong with him?"

Diiiiiddd we all forget about scout master kevin? Uncle? Dad? That fact that the oxygen was physically taken from his brain and was given Co2 poisoning over and over? For multiple days? This is the same man who blew himself up just to escape because they told him he wasnt going to see vanessa again.

And then he fought a guy naked, survived the entire building burning down, and now is so insecure about his looks that he thinks he made the baby cry in the street.

Theres people staring at him, flinching away, called names, people see him and cross the street. (So when he tells Logan that he knows his pain when it comes to public settings, hes not lying)

Blind Al is literally the reason deadpools suit is what it is. Why the idiot thought white was gonna be a good idea- See above. Unlike Al, who could smell the blood/ bleach.

I really love al. She's like the adult Toph.

"I hear everything in this duplex." OH, you poor thing.

"The guy that turned me into this freak-"

Al: *bitch im blind face*

As far as she's aware, he looks normal. Which is beautiful when you think about it, but it's funny when you think about the fact that he's so insecure about his face that he purposly found a blind room mate that couldn't judge him.

And they cuddle while he gets dating advice from grammie 🥹❤️

I really like how the entirety of Sister Margaret's School for Wayward Children (HellHouse in the comics) stood up for Weasel. They're murderers. But they're family.

What they did to vanessa was straight fucked. Her fiance up and leaves without notice, youre just trying to work and live your life, you get kidnapped.

Negasonic is so cool. I love them.

Dopinder (The cab guy) is so cool too. I love him too. Kill that guy in your trunk. "Mr. Pool" reminds me of Tom holland spiderman.

"It is not boy band >:(" Suurreee it isn't.

"Wheres your duffle bag?" You mean his dollar general store tree hello kitty book bag filled with guns?

"Cue the music" *no one even gives a fuck at this point when he talks to the imaginary cams*

Negasonic mid battle: Hold on- "Hey Yukio, yeah I just gotta fuck shit up real quick, ttyl?"

"Sure thing! <3 You go baby!"

I dont know anything about negasonic but she reminds me of Gambit with her energy powers.

Like I said. Hes smart when its a serious situation because he immediately threw his katana into the glass so vanessa could breathe, only to immediately turn sappy and childish again when he sees her stab francis with it. Heart hands, is hallucinating because theres a knife in his brain (literally), sex joke. Etc.

Colossus shut the fuck up. Let this man kill him. He's hurt Soooooo many people. A bullet costs less then a dollar. His amount of therapy alone is going to be like *checks calculations* 80 billion.

"Not the nethers" Wade can and often does show proof of hurting but hed rather cut off his hand then let vanessa punch him in the balls. "Ow- owie 5000"

Hello Hugh Jackman.

After not seeing each other for so longer they instantly go back to the fibbing. "I live in the house with 12"

"You live in a house??" Funny guys get the girls. I should know. My wife says im super funny (yes im in therapy)

Pinky promises really matter to him.

Hes such a silly billy he brought out the phone with their song on it. God what a romantic idiot.

These days, who do you prefer Scott Summers be with: Jean Grey or Emma Frost?

Scbnfnffdnfnfn I'm sorry I know they've been dating again or something recently for some reason but scemma is like. Not a real ship to me. That's a fascinatingly unhealthy friendship that's horny specifically because of how badly both parties want to fuck Jean Grey. That's my brotp who sleep together and should both get restraining orders against each other. "Be with".

first day of class and they askin my favorite movie on the spot like PLEASE i need five minutes to decide which flavor of cherik i like today you cant spring this on me

[wayward-persephone]

Loved your last post with Logan!

What nicknames would Victor Creed have for you? 👀

Thank you very much!

For some reason I can see him using the term "pup" while talking to you/about you 🤔

Or "Little rabbit", "Little bird", etc. just any type of prey animals tbh

But mostly it's "pup" or the stray "kid" every now and then.

The names don't change much if he's upset with you and you have to mostly rely on his growling and tone to see if he's upset with you. Although, since he's a bug grump, sometimes you can't tell he's upset at you before it's to late and he lashes out

Expect some apology licks and purring after he's calmed down because this man is physically incapable of saying 'sorry' out loud

Fic request in German language

This is a rather random request, but I'm learning German and have just reached the stage where I can read simple stories (A2 level). I'd love to read more, but the texts I have available are terribly dull, and I was wondering if anyone would be prepared to write me something in the Loki or X-Men fandom that used simpler language? I could offer an exchange for some art, maybe? Or a story in English.

Or alternatively, if anyone knows of anything already out there that might fit the bill, please let me know. :)
