I just discovered that Lula is canonically the president of Brazil in Marvel Comics.

The source is Marvel Atlas #2, published in 2008 (during Lula's second term), but this information has not been changed to this day, and now that Lula is in his third term and will probably (at least) run for his fourth, an update will either be redundant or they will have to replace him with a fictional character.

Yeah, yeah! Everyone loves to talk about lyrical dissonance when it's a song with an upbeat rhythm but sad/somber lyrics, but nobody talks about it when it's a song whose lyrics say "I love my life and everyone in it" sung over a funeral march!

what do you mean we're gonna get a tommy taffy movie 😭😭

Why are the biblically inherited fandom terms used to describe canonicity limited to "canon" and "apocrypha"? Where are my agrapha? My pseudepigrapha? My acheiropoieta?

Went to the Aboriginal artifact exhibit in Chicago. And it’s interesting. How many blankets and masks and totem poles say ‘unknown source’, because every five seconds my mom would stop and point to something and say. “Pauline’s grandmother made that,” or, “That belongs to Mike’s family, I should call him” because. It’s all stolen

Did you know that in Brazil there's the expression "olho do cu" (literally eye of the ass) that originated because of Japanese immigration?

Because Brazil has the largest Japanese population outside of Japan, there have been some cultural exchanges, among them the legend of Shirime, a yōkai that literally had an eye in its ass. It became extremely well-known in Liberdade - a Brazilian Japantown - and surrounding areas. As a result, many people from São Paulo began using the phrase "olho do cu" (a loan translation into Portuguese of the Kanji in Shirime's name, 尻目) as a 'full name' for cu (the anus). And, since several media conglomerates (like SBT, Grupo Abril, and Grupo Bandeirantes) and dubbing studios (like Centauro, Álamo, and Dublavídeo) are based in São Paulo, the expression spread to the rest of the country through the influence of both national and dubbed films and series.

One thing I find hilarious in comics is how sometimes they do inconsequential shit just for the hell of it. Like when it was revealed out of nowhere that Tigra was pregnant with Criti Noll's child, was scared she was going to give birth to a litter of Skrulls, and then it just didn't happen. She just gave birth to a single boy with no Skrull ancestry.

And to add insult to injury, William isn't even a major character. He only makes cameos every now and then, mostly as a baby, so that the characters around him can say "aww, cute baby tiger" and the readers can say "oh yeah Tigra has a son." Like, he only had two appearances where he was old enough to have speaking cameos. So what was the point?

[redguarana]

I really hope he gets retconned to have been half-Skrull all along and that the whole "he inherited Hank Pym's DNA because Criti Noll was disguised as him and that's how Skrull genetics work apparently" thing was just a hallucination from the genetic test or that that infiltration ritual is somewhat hereditary since it allowed a Skrull subject to go undetected in human form and "two humans having a half-Skrull child" would be a way to detect one of the parents

if i had a nickel for every little blonde girl on a children's TV show who bullies the main character only for it to be revealed that she's acting that way because she has mommy issues and then gets a faux redemption plot that ends with the writers doing a 180 at the last second and saying "sike they're irredeemable bullies actually lol" i'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

After James Gunn changed the opening theme for Peacemaker, he forced me to watch the music video over and over again, which made me notice some "plate with corn" details in it, like the guy on the far left choose a shirt with an apparently copyrighted print and they had to blur it out.

If I had a nickel for every time a very popular Brazilian entertainment company made a parody of Joel Schumacher's "Batman & Robin", I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Batmenino & Cascóbin is the sequel to Batmenino Eternamente and tells the story of Batmenino (Bruce Ceboleine, aka The Dark Knighty) and Cascóbin the Boy Wonder, a vigilante duo dedicated to keeping the streets of Gordão City safe and fighting supervillains.

Uma Dupla Quase Dinâmica is a 2011 made-for-TV movie directed by former Federal Deputy by the state of São Paulo and porn actor and current Councilman of the Municipality of Cotia Alexandre Frota and written by him together with Magalhães Júnior. It is an adaptation from the Batman and Robin sketches from Brazilian variety show A Praça é Nossa.

The "humor" of their sketches and, consequently their movie, is that Batman and Robin are in a Achillean relationship, but Robin is bisexual and it is an early-2010s comedy show, so once per episode he flirts with the one female villain in the otherwise all-male villain group, which causes Batman to "throw a tantrum" that robin has to calm him down. But don't worry because due to Batman's emotional dependency/the series' negative continuity, Batman stays with his cheating boyfriend.

Whenever I hear people saying "the multiverse is everywhere nowadays" I wonder if I'm just that out of touch with recent media because aside from the MCU the only movies about the multiverse that come to mind are The Flash and Everything Everywhere All at Once and the only series is Mila no Multiverso

One thing I don't understand in Once Upon a Time is why didn't Emma just kiss her own parents when Serum!Evil Queen cast that sleeping curse on their hearts. Didn't she love them enough after 6 seasons? Or did it need to be romantic love to break the sleeping curse?

If I had a nickel for every time I watched a series/movie in which a man is said to be the same age as a woman clearly 20+ years younger than him specifically through a flashback that reveals they attended the same school/camp as kids, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
