Ok, listen up movie and tv people.

What we need 0 of: sexy Dracula, Mina as Drac’s reincarnated lover, Lucy being blamed for her murder because she’s ‘too sexy’ and ‘she wanted it’, blatant Jonathan erasure, blatant Quincey erasure.

What we need 100 of: the Harker Supernatural Detective Agency.

Starring:

Mina ‘I’ve got a typewriter and now that’s you’re problem’ Harker, following the paper trail of every monster that dares to step into her country.

Jonathan ‘Everyone I’ve ever met is my friend’ Harker, buying beers and chatting with all the witnesses to gather up more clues.

Dr. Jack ‘I’m supposed to be the smart one but I’m weirdly good at break-in’s’ Seward, the one who can do whatever science /technology/ B&E that is needed but loses his glasses when they’re on his head.

Lord Godalming, Arthur ‘The Bankroller’ Holmwood, giving them the funds to travel, send wordy telegrams, and buy sexy new all-black vampire-killing outfits each episode.

Quincey ‘The Muscle’ Morris, here to politely tip his hat at passers by and then pop into an alleyway to curb stomp Jack the Ripper or something.

Lucy ‘Everyone would die for her, how does she always end up in these messes’ Westenra, who is the sweet and beloved friend of everyone in this office but somehow remains blissfully unaware of the supernatural nature despite being targeted by nearly every monster of the week.

Guest Starring Prof/Dr/Esq Van Helsing (his title changes every appearance) who rushes in to lore drop and dunk on Seward, smile lovingly at Lucy, then rushes back off to Amsterdam.

And if it absolutely has to have a reincarnated character, then it’s not Mina; Van Helsing is the reincarnation of Dracula’s ex-spouse who constantly rolls in to ruin his plans whenever he shows up.

And Dracula has a mustache, damn it!

We say we’re friends, we play pretend... You’re more to me, we’re everything... Our voices rise and soar so high... We come to life when we’re... In perfect harmony.

[butternaan]

it drives me crazy how humans are just meant to hold each other. how come when you hold someone's hand, your fingers just perfectly lock with theirs? how is it that when you hug someone, your face fits just right in the crook of their neck? how can your hands cup someone's face like that's their only primary function? it cannot be coincidence that our bodies are fully capable of holding another... we were designed to love

I learned in a Latin Studies class (with a chill white dude professor) that when the Europeans first saw Aztec cities they were stunned by the grid. The Aztecs had city planning and that there was no rational lay out to European cities at the time. No organization.

[punkrockradio]

When the Spanish first arrived in Tenochtitlan (now downtown mexico city) they thought they were dreaming. They had arrived from incredibly unsanitary medieval Europe to a city five times the size of that century’s london with a working sewage system, artificial “floating gardens” (chinampas), a grid system, and aqueducts providing fresh water. Which wasn’t even for drinking! Water from the aqueducts was used for washing and bathing- they preferred using nearby mountain springs for drinking. Hygiene was a huge part if their culture, most people bathed twice a day while the king bathed at least four times a day. Located on an island in the middle of a lake, they used advanced causeways to allow access to the mainland that could be cut off to let canoes through or to defend the city. The Spanish saw their buildings and towers and thought they were rising out of the water. The city was one of the most advanced societies at the time.

Anyone who thinks that Native Americans were the savages instead of the filthy, disease ridden colonizers who appeared on their land is a damn fool.

[robotsandfrippary]

They’ve also recently discovered a lost Native American city in Kansas called Etzanoa It rivals the size of Cahokia, which was very large as well.

[fullmetalquest-deactivated20211]

Makes me happy to see people learn about the culture of my country :D

[fieldbears]

Also, please remember that the idea of a nomadic or semi-nomadic culture being “less intelligent”, “less civilized” (and please unpack that word) was invented by people who wanted to make a graph where they were on the top.

Societies that functioned without 1) staying exclusively in one location or 2) having to make complicated, difficult-to-construct tools to go about their daily lives… were not somehow less valid than others.

[valkyrie-the-lost-deactivated20]

Also, about half an hour through the desert outside of Nazca, they discovered a 2000 year old temple complex at the start of 2015

It looks pretty as fuck, with several low pyramids

But the thing is, it’s acoustically perfect, and whoever held the ceremonies could be heard right to the back of the crowd by just speaking

This was built when the Nazca Lines (another fucking marvel) were being made- and the necropolis twenty kays away has both the mummified corpses of the builders of the Lines AND the corpses of those who were sacrificed

Two thousand years ago and they built an open air temple with better acoustics than the bloody nightclubs here.

“do you think god stays in heaven because he, too, lives in fear of what he’s created?” is probably THE hardest line of dialogue ever spoken in the history of modern film and people regularly search google for its origin just to find out steve buscemi said it in a movie about adolescent spies from 2002

Can we just talk abt how this???? ⬇⬇⬇

Was adopted by the Sherlock Fandom and became this;

But.........then the Spn fandom found it and we got this;

Can I just say that this is such accurate description of all these charaters???? Like Sherlock is OBVSLY like Crowley with John being soft innocent lil Aziraphale. Then there's Cas, and he's an actual angel and it fits so well, not to mention that Dean was an actual Demon at one point in the show......

Not to mention they're all just so gay...

Literally all of these are perfection ❤😇👿

I also say “thanks for the update” or “thanks for the head’s up!”

“I really appreciate the head’s up!” also a classic

If I haven’t gotten back to someone in a swift enough period (i.e. one work day max) I say “thank you for your patience. after some consideration, I have decided…”

don’t apologize for piddly things!

I thought things couldn’t get more horrifyingly amusing than the woman who wanted people to pay $1000 each to go to her wedding so she could “feel like a Kardashian for a day” and had a Facebook breakdown about it saying she was gonna go backpacking in Peru to “find herself” after being “betrayed” by her friends who didn’t want to partake but here we are

I thought it was the same person ngl.

Ok, so Brie Larson says she thinks an all female Avengers movie would be cool (A Force!) And all these dudes loooooosing their mind. “What about an all MALE Avengers film?” Uh….the first Avengers films you mean. I get that Black Widow was in it, so I’ll compromise. We’ll have Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch, She Hulk, Wasp, Photon, and Storm…..and Hawkeye.

Well, taking loki is kinda genderfluid in mythology, and I think in the comics too (from what i’ve heard, not 100% sure), loki is also a possibility

[fandomsandfeminism]

Yes, Loki is canonly genderfluid in the comics.

[small-witch-big-hat]

I think there’s somebody who would need to be in this movie that you’ve missed.

“We’ll have Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch, She Hulk, Wasp, Photon, and Storm…..and Hawkeye. ”

Yes. I agree.

Captain Marvel’s Box Office Numbers Are Really Huge, Here’s How Much It Made

Marvel’s latest movie, Captain Marvel, opened in theaters this past weekend, and it enjoyed a massive, record-breaking debut at the box office. According to Deadline, the movie made $153 million in the United States and Canada, with a further $302 million coming in from international markets. Globally, Captain Marvel made $455 million for its first weekend despite an otherwise slow start to the year for the film industry’s overall box office. [Update: The latest numbers, courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, now peg the movie as topping $500 million worldwide following Monday’s performance. As a result, the movie will likely crack the $1 billion mark before the end of its run.]

The domestic haul of $153 million represents the third-biggest debut for a movie in March in the history of film, only behind Beauty and the Beast ($174.7 million) and Batman v. Superman ($166 million).

Additionally, Captain Marvel’s opening-weekend box office performance is better than the opening weekends for Iron Man 1 and 2, the first two Captain America movies, all the Thor films, Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and 2, and every Spider-Man movie ever released. Captain Marvel also opened to a bigger first-weekend box office number than Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Suicide Squad, Venom, and every X-Men movie ever.

“Marvel Studios continues to have an incredible track record that remains unbroken,” Disney executive Cathleen Taff said. “ Audiences feel they know what they are getting when they buy their movie ticket.”

On a global basis, Captain Marvel had the second-best best opening for a superhero film ever, only behind Avengers: Infinity War ($640.5 million). The $302 million that Captain Marvel made for its opening weekend is the sixth-biggest opening in the history of movies on a worldwide basis.

[flameblade7]

It needs about 750 million to break even, its at 550million thats about 200 million short

[fandomsandfeminism]

It’s been out for 1 week. 

Also, according to Screenrant   Captain Marvel’s budget is around $152 million and  The break even point is approximately $304 million worldwide, a figure Captain Marvel might pass in its opening weekend. 

So like. Source?

[flameblade7]

here deadline https://deadline.com/2019/03/captain-marvel-tuesday-box-office-record-1202574950/ $750 million to break even

[fandomsandfeminism]

Where does your source say this?

After scoring the third best Monday in March with $10.98M yesterday, Disney’s Captain Marvel saw  $14.6M yesterday making it the second best Tuesday in March ever after Disney’s Beauty and the Beast ($17.8M) two years ago and ahead of Warner Bros.’ Batman v. Superman ($12.1M) three years ago. Total running cume stateside is estimated to be $179M through yesterday.

Nancy reported that Captain Marvel shot past a half billion worldwide yesterday. Disney says WW is up to $524M. One film finance source believes that it’s pretty much certain that Captain Marvel will see $1 billion around the world and break the glass ceiling for female-led pics at the global B.O., dashing past Wonder Woman‘s final global of $821.8M. Domestic will be at $400M. Captain Marvel will pass break even in the theatrical window by the end of the week with $750M worldwide.

Among all MCU pics on a Tuesday, Captain Marvel is the fourth best after Avengers: Infinity War ($23.4M),  Black Panther ($20.8M),  and The Avengers ($17.6M).

The closest it says is “ Captain Marvel will pass break even in the theatrical window by the end of the week with $750M worldwide” which says that is WILL break even and that they think it will make 750 mil in that milestone, not that 750 mil IS the break even point. 

This is discussed HEAVILY in the comments, with many saying that, when global advertising is considered, 600 mil is probably the break even point. 

READ YOUR OWN SOURCES. 

[flameblade7]

except that its again 200 million away from that “break even in the theatrical window“ meaning it has not broken even yet because its only 550 (559 now) million at this time so it would need to make more then it did opening weekend to even get close to being able to break it next week and seeing how the chart is going its not going to be able to do that

DO ME A FAVOR AND STOP TRYING TO MOVE THE GOAL POSTS

[fandomsandfeminism]

Move goal posts? That’s literally not what’s happening. I pointed out that YOUR OWN SOURCE doesnt support your arguments.
