good job chief justice roberts!!! thank u for letting the constitution of the united states dictate how u vote instead of allowing a political party or an ideology to control u!!!! we need more ppl who can think like u in this country!!!!
tfw you hate ariana’s new music and think it’s annoying but STILL listen to it on repeat and get it stuck in your head
do y’all think ariana grande is appropriating black culture/doing neo-blackface at the current point in time?? reblog with opinions bc idrk what I think
jessica jones is THE superior marvel netflix original and no one can tell me otherwise
That title goes to Daredevil. But I respect your opinion.
tbh i respect the opinion of anyone except people who thought iron fist was superior so u cool... i’ll let this one slide......

how the FUCK do americans like football??? we’re a bunch of lazy fatasses who crave stimulation and can’t sit through an hour-long play or a history class how in gods name do we sit ourselves in front of a 3.5+ hour production with like 1 hour total of action...... i mean..... at least i understand the infatuation with basketball bc that shit is fuckin fun to watch!! it’s high scoring!! the clock doesn’t stop every 5 fucking seconds!! the players are hot and you can LOOK at them bc they’re not covered by 10 layers of padding to unsuccessfully keep out the debilitating concussions and permanent damage and disability that has become part of the reality of pro football!! there is NO logical reason for why americans like football and it confuses me
right now, a bunch of white, wrinkled nfl executives are sitting together in a conference room, tearing out their well-kept grey hair, yelling at each other about how they can make 3-0 at the half sound stimulating and appealing to the american masses
storietime
today we were out to dinner and i heard some old motherfucker with pubes for hair compare dick cheney to emperor palpatine and..... i see it....
season 2 of the punisher fucking SLAPS

jessica jones is THE superior marvel netflix original and no one can tell me otherwise
This gives me hope
the only comforting thing about infinity war is that they all can’t POSSIBLY be dead because marvel still needs to get that $$$$$
I can’t believe he would use a sporting event to make a political statement! ;-)
Why I didn’t like the Maximum Ride movie
It’s awful. This film only takes half, at most, of what Maximum Ride is about. Let’s rhyme it off.
- The house in the mountains is supposed to be the safest and most comfortable place the flock has ever been to. They. Do. Not. Want. To. Leave. Angel gets captured when the flock are ambushed by a team of Erasers with a CHOPPER while out picking wild strawberries near their secret house in the woods, where they are not cooped up inside all the time; they can go outside and fly around freely.
- Max’s first encounter with Nudge in the film is her threatening and yelling at Nudge. Max is their mother figure; she doesn’t yell at the flock, with the exception of Fang.
- They mis-aged all the characters. Angel is supposed to be 6, Gazzy is 8, Nudge is 11, and Max, Iggy and Fang are 14. Not so in the film.
- Max NEVER had the files on their identities hidden in the house. Ever. Those were found by the flock at the school much later in the storyline.
- When the flock abandoned the house and went on the run, all 5 (not including the captured Angel) were on the way to Lake Mead. Max split from the group to help Ella (the unnamed girl who Max rescued in the film), who was being bullied by several boys, and not from some drunk boyfriend, as Ella is also only 14.
- When Max is shot, Dr. Martinez, who is a VET and not a DOCTOR, examined her and discovered Max’s wings due to the fact that the bullet injured Max’s wing as well as her shoulder. Max was x-rayed and her chip was found in her FOREARM. Dr. Martinez and Ella both know about the Flock and their avian-hybrid capabilities, and in the film, they’re left in the dark and are barely a blip on the plot-line map. Max is then made to wait at somewhere around 3 days before her wing is healed enough to fly to Lake Mead.
- When Max catches up to the flock at Lake Mead, the flock are staying in a CAVE. Not a cabin, with food and warmth and beds. A cave. Eating stolen food out of dumpsters and snacking on some chocolate chip cookies that Dr. Martinez made for Max before Max left. They learn new flying techniques from the family of hawks that nest nearby.
- It appears that all of the flock have chips embedded in them somewhere, as the School seems able to monitor their physical statuses.
- Max is meant to accidentally kill Ari in a one-on-one fight in the sewers below the School while escaping with the flock and several other able-bodied recombinant DNA kids, and Total, the talking dog. Jeb finds Ari as Max is leaving the tunnel behind the rest of the pack, and as Max is flying away, he yells after her that she killed her own brother. Whoops. Way to forget a super important plot twist.
- Max’s first encounter with the Voice, the thing that showed her all those images of her childhood and New York at the end of the film, is supposed to be VERBAL. It’s the VOICE. It speaks.
- They neglected to mention that Ari, Jeb’s son and the main Eraser character of the film, is only 7 years old, and aged physically due to his DNA being effed with when he became and Eraser.
- Angel does actually speak. She doesn’t say a word in the film until almost the end of the movie. She does actually talk.
- Max sees none of those images about her childhood or about a file. She sees images of New York and the word Institution repeated over and over. That is the only clue they have when they set out for New York.
- Nudge is a much more happy-go-lucky character than she is portrayed as in the movie, where she is an emotional, angsty teenager.
- Wtf was with the casting choices, dude? Max needs to be way move average build, not a toothpick. Toothpicks can’t hold their own in a fight against superhuman wolf-men. Fang needed long black hair. Iggy’s wings were supposed to be white, as were Gazzy’s and Angel’s. Not to mention they were all several years too old for their characters. Ew. Just ew.
Other than all that, the pacing was terrible, there was no sense of urgency to the film, and no real sense of danger in the scenes where Angel is being experimented on. The tests in the book were portrayed to be much more severe, and they were more like rat-in-a-maze type tests than intellectual, solve-the-equation type tests.
Also, the scars on their backs are complete BS. The wings fold up small, close to their backs. Not INTO their backs. They don’t just go poof. Sorry. Way to avoid any of the potentially-accurate sciencey bits, Mr. Director. I can’t believe James Patterson signed off on this bullcrap.
In addition to this:
Max does not have perfect platinum blonde hair she has messy ass brown hair that she can’t figure out how to control.
Max isn’t white she’s half latina
Max isn’t a bitch like she was portrayed in the movie. She’s a hardheaded leader who cares a LOT about her flock and will do anything to protect them.
Max isn’t as ~polished~ as she seemed in the movie. She’s sassy and messy and wears jeans that haven’t been washed in a week and eats like a horse to support her ultrafast metabolism (not two fucking cookies for breakfast are you kiddiNG ME)
Fang has a name in the book (okay this is a huge L how do you forget to say his fucking name)
Fang and Iggy’s actors looked nothing like the book characters (both of them were too conventionally attractive)
Fang, iggy, and nudge’s personalities were WAY off
Gazzy’s character was actually okay they just should have made him closer with iggy
Angel and max’s relationship was nonexistent in the movie. In the book they’re incredibly close
Angel actually has a personality and is one of the most interesting characters in the book. She’s creepy and intriguing and loving and dangerous and the three lines she had in the movie did NOT convey that.
The whole dynamic with the flock was skewed. They’re supposed to joke around and be sarcastic and LOVE each other and depend on the other 5 members for their survival. The first scene with the flock in the house could have been used to set up that dynamic and it WASNT and I’m FRUSTRATED
They’re all tall and ultraskinny
The scene with Dr. Martinez was more important than the movie made it seem
The flashbacks made zero sense
The script was horrible
The plot would be impossible to follow if you hadn’t read the books
Iggy cooks
Each member of the flock has their own unique sense of humor and there was not one funny line in that entire movie. Not one
In conclusion this movie was not good and I demand a remake
reasons why tumblr should start reading Maximum Ride:
strong, flawed, and emotionally complex female lead who kicks ass as a mom but also literally kicks ass
brooding sarcastic love interest who is saved by the girl way more often than he saves her (and is totally okay with it)
KIDS WITH WINGS
misfit group of orphans who come together as a family and who love and protect each other no matter what
fun family road trips running from people trying to kill them
human experimentation and really cool sci-fi plots
presents teenagers as smart and strong individuals instead of silly or toxic
main character of color
blind main character
WEREWOLF ROBOT THINGS
YES maximum ride is one of the best YA series out there imo
Last night I had a dream that I went to a really big and old cemetery. I saw a big tombstone for a YouTuber. I don’t know who it was but the grave said YouTuber.
definitely a gravestone for logan paul’s career rip 4never in our hearts
