i think jeremy strong should play gazerbeam in an incredibles prequel anyway this is my truth

no bc the whole de-construction of the sidekick because those teen characters were created so that the audience could see themselves in them and for that character to be a petulant fanboy who became the worst version of himself....... fascinating.

Hello everyone, if you can please share and donate to the Shehab family’s campaign to support them through displacement and famine. Sahar, her family of eight (five of whom are children), and extended family (three are children) need funds to survive as food, water, formula and baby products become more and more scarce and expensive. All donations will go towards evacuation funds, and to help them recover afterwards and build towards a brighter future once more. Please keep this family in your hearts and minds, and show them your kindness through sharing and donating, thank you. @danashehab is one of the accounts for the family who contacted and asked me to make this post for them.

Tags below the cut, let me know if you’d rather be removed.

buddy being a deconstruction of the sidekick and teenage boys that idolized superheros, both in the comics themselves & in real life. the fact that mr. incredible tried to do the right thing by telling buddy to go home, that he doesn't want a sidekick! and yet everyone paid the price for him for going against that trope. the fact that the nsa hero files show that mr. incredible's actions were not the thing to bring down supers, but the straw that broke the camel's back. by all accounts, most of the supers on the payroll of tommy lee jones & company were more the boys adjacent than avengers adjacent. they monetized and privatized heroism and then the natural conclusion of that was those who were supers were some of the most unsavory (save for a few). i feel crazy

you know what did disappoint? wanting to look up the incredibles (2004) as it related to retrofuturism, a specific era of 1960s comics as a response to american politics in the 60s

you blog long enough and you stop making jokes. start posting at two week intervals. shit like "i saw a bug today" and "the visions are getting worse"

Really worried about Chris Smalls. People who spoke up for Greta, should speak up louder for him.

honestly it’s impossible to talk about feminism anymore on this site because a woman will casually make a post about how men treat women terribly and how much they suck and everybody in the notes is like ALL MEN? EVEN TRANS MEN? EVEN GAY MEN? EVEN MEN OF COLOR? EVEN DISABLED MEN? WHAT IF A MAN IS POOR? WHAT IF A MAN IS NICE? TRANS MEN GET MISGENDERED AS WOMEN SO THEY DONT COUNT RIGHT? GAY MEN ARE FEMININE SOMETIMES SO THEY DONT COUNT RIGHT? EAST ASIAN MEN GET FORCEFULLY FEMINIZED SO THEY DONT COUNT RIGHT? DID YOU KNOW WOMEN CAN BE RACIST
