turns on megaphone once again, antonia dreykov deserved better !!marvel caved to those fanboys because they’re cowards. not willing to actually flesh out a very complicated and nuanced character that would’ve gotten along so well with the other members, especially bob. and that also would’ve worked beautifully with the whole movie centering heavily on mental illness. y’all decided to cut a trauma/abuse victim’s story in the film because of ‘limited narrative real estate’ as you wanted to focus more on yelena and bob’s connection. mind you, i adore yelena and am not trying to minimize her pain but she’s more of a fan favorite and is the black widow of the new avengers so everyone can swallow her story better since it’s basically the same as natasha’s. you may as well have cast one of the many annoying dude bros that complained about taskmaster in black widow to shoot antonia cause that’s what it was at the end of the day. no one wants to deal with the more complicated and deeply complex victim/character that is not the favored one, has many layers to her trauma nor the easiest to look at. because she isn’t the fan favorite and it’s not worth investing time to flesh out a story that maybe just maybe a group of people can relate to and feel seen or empowered just like others are feeling about this film and its portrayal of depression. too complicated, i guess.

if people suddenly start praising the black widow film or saying how antonia and the other widows deserve more of their stories to be told etc etc. like how now looking back it’s an amazing film (newsflash, it always has been and will continue to be) blah blah blah — i will riot.

anyways, point of this post is that if marvel decides to ever bring back taskmaster again (meaning recast as male and closer to the comic version of the character) - i will officially lose my faith in marvel to have the balls to take a risk in telling stories that are more than just action and jokes with sprinkles of deep moments.

to quote frank, checks script “i’m not playing patty-cake with these fanboys.” if and when that day comes.

Sam didn't get angry because of the name.

He didn't get angry because of the people forming the New Avengers. Despite his still evident distaste for John Walker, he actually likes them and he understands their stories and motives and would like to help them to get better, mentally speaking, as he did with Bucky.

No, he got angry because a bunch of white criminals can get recognized as the New Avengers in less than two days by the Government and general public while he – black Captain America – can't even get some funds and the table in front of him is covered in rejected proposals.

He got angry because he always has to fight teeth and nails to obtain anything and then things get handed to the others without hesitation.

He got angry because Bucky got to see it with his eyes, how the system always tries to let him down and how his doubts flare up whenever people distrust him, and yet he didn't do anything – in his perspective – to stop Valentina and help him save everything he worked so hard for.

He got angry because if it's so easy for people to cheer on the New Avengers, who knows how much longer he can go before someone starts saying once again that he should let someone who "fits the role better" take the title of Captain America.

And in the end, what seems like anger isn't really anger. It's just exhaustion and disappointment and the sinking feeling that the one person he could rely on isn't on his side anymore.

He just wants, once in his life, for things to be easy.

i need people to get it through their heads that bisexuals do not actually benefit from hetrosexual patriarchy because no queer or trans person can benefit from hetrosexual patriarchy. i need people to understand that the claim that "bisexuals can live straight lives" is a statement that is technically true of any queer or trans person. a gay man "can live" in a lavender marriage, as can a lesbian. any gay person can, if they choose, live in the closet or live a "straight" life. someone very close to me is a closeted trans man, and he has chosen never to come out for personal reasons. he will live his life as a woman until he dies because he "can". the argument that because bisexuals can experience attraction to the opposite gender then they don't meaningfully experience homophobia is crazy. it's like saying that monogamous people would all be super into arranged marriages. i could point to the many examples in history where gay men and women, and trans people have spoken fondly of the time they "lived as" a straight or cis person. if someone made the argument that because a gay man, lesbian or trans person experienced some degree of Not Shitness while they were closeted/not out then that means they have some form of privilege? you'd immediately clock that as homophobia/transphobia!!! yet people think this is an okay thing to say to bisexuals. it is EXHAUSTING, especially as someone who has experienced homophobic harassment as a bisexual, to hear people falling for the psyop of "bisexual privilege". it's not real!! you're just assuming all bisexuals would be happy in the closet!!! you're assuming all bisexuals are cis!!! you're assuming bisexuality is privileged the same as heterosexuality when there's decades upon decades of data and testimony that prove otherwise. all people are doing when they engage in "bisexual privilege" rhetoric is rebranding the VERY old religious homophobic notion of: if you never act on it, you won't be damned to hell! it also very much gives "don't ask don't tell" rhetoric, which again, is just homophobia!!!! simply being bisexual does not give anyone privilege. i can't tell my homophobic family members i'm bisexual and they'll be fine with it. i don't flash a bisexual card and magically get less harassed. my friend who converted to evangelicalism didn't decide that because i was bi she wouldn't cut me off like all her other gay friends. i am cut off, i am harrassed and i deal with homophobia from people almost every day - as do all bisexuals. stop telling bisexuals, they have some kind of advantage because they can enter into "straight" partnerships as if a) that isn't true of literally anyone and b) as if being in a "straight" partnership is automatically empowering and safe and a privilege at all. maybe instead of equating bisexuals to straight people because you know nothing about queer history or culture, you should read some books and also maybe start caring more about actual systems of hetro-patriarchy and how it makes everyones lives suck rather then like idk telling lies about bisexuals you made up out of boredom and spite

Rewatched Black Widow (2021) last night and….they fr disrespected nat’s character by killing antonia/taskmaster in the first five minutes of thunderbolts.

Nat did everything she could to make sure that Antonia made it out of the red room and regained her agency. She had sooooo much potential as a character and they put her down like a dog immediately

[ihavenoconsistentinterests]

New Avengers (Thunderbolts*) spoilers ahead!!

I really enjoyed this movie but I did have one majoe problem with it. Taskmaster's death was pointless. It was supposed to be to shock everybody and prove that anything could happen but it didn't do that. You prove people can die by killing a character that matters. She didn't get to matter. She might as well have been one of the many guards killed. She didn't have enough character for anybody (except me, obviously) to care that she died. If her death happened later, maybe during the fight with Sentry, it would have had the proper effect since it would actually seem like she was going to be a main character. I would still be upset about it of course, her character had so much potential especially in the context of the movie but if you're going to kill her at least do it right. They wasted her character entirely. Also, nobody mourned at all, they all just moved on, which bothers me since a similar skip over grieving happened in Agatha All Along with Billy finding out that he killed people who he cared about. Characters need to grieve or they feel less human. Anyway, that's all I have to say, thank you for listening to my rant!

[bbyboybucket]

Genuinely, hear me out, I think thunderbolts woulda been a perfect movie if they’d removed Bucky and his story line all together, and instead used that extra time to focus on Ghost and Taskmaster. Bc being real, Bucky did nothing, didn’t really even add much to the plot. You could remove his whole subplot (idek if it’s big enough to call it that) and the movie would still make sense, arguably it’d make more sense. If they weren’t gonna do anything interesting (or in character lol) with him anyways, why not use that time on two other characters that has a lot of potential?

[pla-teau]

i will die or get killed on these two hills regarding thunderbolts*

- antonia dreykov/taskmaster deserved a lot better than to be killed for shock value. i could rant all day about my absolute anger and frustration with marvel killing her the way they did.

- the movie is not the best thing since endgame in the mcu.

Senator Ghost back for more. I don’t know how to celebrate this one. I’ll stab a Caesar salad later if that counts

daredevil born again episode 3 ending reaction: spoilers!

i am unwell. i was happy to see hector be found not guilty and i know he was eventually gonna die but omfg was that a gut punch. believe me, i gasped and yelled when foggy got shot and died but hector? i started bawling. i don’t know but it hurt so much more. proud that the creators brought this amazing puerto rican superhero to life for audiences to grow attached to. while not puerto rican, it meant a lot seeing latin representation in this show. seeing him be shot like that after being shown that he was a good fucking human being was awful and i’m still crying. the nerve to then also have the coqui sound along with the waves of the beach — ugh consider me wrecked for the rest of the series.

also i know it’s been said but that isn’t frank at the end and as i calm down from crying, i hope frank fucking wrecks all those cops who have bastardized his symbol. please marvel don’t be cowards. because i need that comfort knowing frank castle is going to [redacted for legal reasons] the cop who killed hector.

I just saw Captain America and I don't know, want to dedicate a small and lovely fuck you to every single human being that still doubts Sam Wilson as Captain America. He is perfect. He is amazing. And yes, I know I should respect your opinion, free speech and whatever but when you go around disrespecting Sam? Nah, go to hell 🫶🏼

[rzc11]

A response when someone slanders Sam Wilson as Captain America

[frogo-star11]

captain america: the first avenger is about how nazis fucking suck and we need to band together to stop them.

captain america: the winter soldier is about how fascists can be anywhere, and we have to stop them, even if it means going against what feels like the whole world.

captain america: civil war is about how even when there are fewer fascists, regular people can still be wrong and the government can't be trusted to keep the best interest of minorities in mind.

captain america: brave new world (and, to an extent, TFATWS) is about how when people in power keep secrets, miscommunicate, and spread lies, everyone suffers.
