Never have I wanted outsider POV more than I've wanted it with the general public and other MCU heroes wondering what the hell is up with the New Avengers hanger on? Official team groupie? You know, that guy who's with them all the time. Bob.

The thing about Thunderbolts* that blew my mind while in the middle of watching it was how well it hung together. Everything made narrative sense and flowed so neatly together. Like, I didn't know how it was going to end, but once I saw how they were developing Yelena and Bob's relationship, I immediately thought, oh, this ending is going to feel earned. And it was. Like, that's not something that ever comes to me while still watching a movie, that usually only comes after I've finished and had time to reflect.

Yeah, this has definitely earned its place as Top 5 MCU movie for me, and Yelena and Bob launched into my Top 10 MCU characters list.

So, turns out, after years of thinking I'm Team Cap, I'm actually Team Bucky.

Big Finish Ninth Doctor and Rose! The scream I screamed at the announcement! I have not bought anything Big Finish in years, but yes, I am definitely getting this!

Okay, but I would occasionally just think of the sadness of Kirk and Spock's endings??? Like, just randomly??? But now that's no longer the case!!! They were separated by time and universes, but they got to be together at the end, and the happiness of the thought is just making me cry buckets.

[theendingremains]

I'm bawling, oh my god, I have never had this kind of reaction to any media ever. But Kirk took Spock's hand and I just started crying my eyes out. Geeze, I did not expect that during my lunch period.

Rewatching Dead Boy Detectives before my Netflix cancels next week. Me, when canceling, puts in: "Umbrella Academy season 4 was terrible, and you canceled Dead Boy Detectives" in the Other field. In all honesty, I never planned on having Netflix past this month, but when you get the chance, you take the chance.

Anyway, where was I? Oh, yeah, the first time watching The Case of the Lighthouse Leapers, seeing Edwin turn the doll in the shop away, it's, like, haha, Edwin, same, there used to be a doll like that at my aunt's house that we used to scare each other as kids.

On rewatch, it's: Jesus fucking Christ 😭

Look, I love comic book Diego/Vanya so much that my biggest regret for the TV show (pre-season 4 where I regret everything) is that they never went Diego/Viktor, so I'd much rather live in the timeline where they did.

Okay, hot take/idea, don't kill me over this

But do you guys think if Viktor didn't transition, they'd have Five and Viktor get together instead? I seem to remember an interview about Five and Viktor having crushes on each other when they were younger, but it never came into fruition cuz Five obvi got lost in the apocalypse

Just spitballing this, just an idea lmao I feel like they really wanted to make Five straight

I've never been more glad that Netflix drops a show all at once, because if I'd wasted six weeks of my life on that, I would have been livid.

Honestly, I'm very easy-going with my media, it doesn't take a lot to satisfy me. Like, I know TUA season 3 had its issues, but I still enjoyed it and rewatched it right away - I'm not even sure how many times I've rewatched just the wedding episode. I was even fine with the first three episodes of s4. But the latter half of the season? Left such a bad taste in my mouth that any future rewatch of the series is going to end at season 3.

[theendingremains]

So, I'm just going to pretend that Luther and Ben ran off to join Viktor in Canada, and, occasionally, Diego visits them, okay? And that's how the story ends.

Goddamn, if someone told me back in season 1 that Luther of all people would replace Five in my top 3 favorite Umbrella Academy characters, I would have thought they were insane.

I think I've heard Bye Bye Bye more times in the past week than I have in the past twenty years combined.

It will never not be hilarious to me that Deadpool in actual freaking Disneyland says that Deadpool is a top and Wolverine is a bottom. Except, you know, in a kid-friendly way. Oh, and actually quotes "they were roommates!" 😂 Whoever their scriptwriter is is definitely in fandom.

[theendingremains]

Deadpool and Wolverine ending up as best frenemies roomies who sometimes fuck was not on my MCU Bingo card. I'm not sure why it wasn't, because why not, right? But there we go.

The way my brain went, "Chris Evans...?" followed by me immediately blurting out loud that "NO HE'S JOHNNY!" and my absolute glee at being proven right when he shouts, "Flame on!" We've finally got the Cap/Johnny Storm mix-up scene we all wanted. Perfect, A+ scene, would watch again.

I didn't know I needed Hugh Jackman playing Age of Apocalypse Wolvie, but now that I have it, I'm never letting it go.

[theendingremains]

Me, trying to think of the upside of RDJ being cast as Doom: "At least they didn't cast him as Magneto?"

Me, several seconds later: "Oh no, maybe they'll cast Chris Evans as Magneto, I just jinxed myself."

This is everything I posted about loving in my earlier post about this fight, so this is now my favorite gif set. 😍
