I call this one "Double Kill"

Tony, this is your Ninth Symphony. What a masterpiece. Look at that. This is your legacy. A new generation of weapons with this at its heart. Weapons that will help steer the world back on course, put the balance of power in our hands. The right hands.

IRON MAN (2008) dir. Jon Favreau

there’s a superstition that a composer will die or be otherwise unable to complete another after they’ve written their ninth symphony. considering we saw obadiah play the piano in an earlier scene, it’s possible he’s referencing that when he calls the arc tony’s ninth symphony

HOWEVER, the superstition is sillier than most. the only truly notable composer to fall victim to the supposed curse is beethoven, and a lot of the other examples are easily disproved

so what we have is obie using an obscure classical music reference whilst telling tony that he’s done, he’s peaked, he’s going to die. but the reference itself is flawed and easily countered, just like we see with tony. he hasn’t peaked, he isn’t done, he’s got such incredible heights yet to reach

and idk i just think that’s really neat

Chat Noir is a perfect character because when given a miraculous every other character takes it very seriously and usually acts like themselves but more responsible, and then Chat Noir acts like a weird furry cat boy for some reason. Nothing about the cat miraculous requires he runs around on all fours and makes cat puns he does that for the love of the game.

in elementary school we had. basically an immersive economics lesson that was "playing City," with different jobs and businesses; it was mostly semi-free time for socializing and selling/buying toys and snacks from each other. one of the lessons we were supposed to learn was the importance of paying a small amount of money into health and/or business insurance, because you had a chance of being hit with the Daily Disaster and a huge bill.

anyway, some kid who didn't buy insurance got hit with a "medical bill" early on, so he was supposed to be bankrupt and have to sit the rest of the game out. the 8 year olds were not having it and spontaneously invented crowdfunding so he could keep playing with everyone else.

kids who don't 'get it' are right, actually

endlessly, morbidly fascinated by how when you're a kid you're constantly having parents, school, religion, media, all drumming it into your head that Sharing Is Good And You Need To Do It, and then you grow up and suddenly they're all like right never mind all that, this is The Real World and it's every bastard for himself

Is that thing where I gotta point out the COLOSSAL social and cultural infrastructure necessary to keep this stuff going and make it feel natural to anyone. The frequency with which people not yet in that mindset will invent all the "unnatural" solutions is quite telling.
