The thing is that the most interesting and novel invention of the MCU is a universe where billions of people turned into dust and then were physically reconstituted on the spot five years later, in a world that had just barely adapted to their absence.

That is wild. That is intense! That is a series of pathos-ridden emotionally complex doorstoppers waiting to happen. Half the entire world! All dead! And somehow we coped with that! And now we have to cope with them all being back?

A whole street of empty houses--surely not everyone there became ash. Some of them moved to better places, now opened by the mass mortality. Some of them died afterward. Who will live there now? Even if inheritances are reversed by resurrection, surely leases aren't renewed. What the fuck happens to everyone who remarried?

What happens to the children snapped back to a world where their parents didn't survive, or the reverse?

But they had to then hastily smooth over this utterly batshit sci-fi premise and get the world mostly back to normal working order as rapidly as possible, without too much emphasis on how literally every person in existence has been placed in a mason jar by a narcissist and shaken twice in five years.

So they could get on with more superhero whack-blam business, which is customarily done against a background of Normality.

This is, tragically, the most Comics thing these movies have ever done.

It is beyond satire that they did this immediately before and during a worldwide pandemic that everyone was pressured to smooth over and 'return to normal' about within 2 years if not sooner.

As somebody who doesn't give a fuck about Marvel movies or know anything that happened after the first Avengers (and Thor Ragnarok), my question is what does this mean for religion?

Because half the world's population just died... and came back to life. There should be pretty definitive proof now of whether or not there's life after death. What does it mean for evangelicals if half their congregation can say "you're lying. We know that for a fact because we died and there was nothing. The jews say it, the muslims say it, the budhists say it, the atheists say it." What if there IS an afterlife? Do people who were snapped switch to the "correct" religion? Does it matter? Or does it no longer count since it's not faith if you have facts?

This isn't a hypothetical. I'm seriously asking- if this was addressed in the movies, please tell me.

[silvershadow1711]

I never actually expected to come back to this (because I didn't expect to ever watch another Marvel property again), but I have to because Moon Knight somehow answered this question for me while simultaniously not answering anything/leaving me more confused.

Because the main characters Marc/Steven are jewish, like, very explictly jewish... and when they die, they go to the ancient Egyptian afterlife (where the goddess Tawaret confirms that there are multiple afterlives). Which means that, in the MCU, your religious beliefs might not have any impact on where go when you die. You work with a god from a different religion? Congrats- you've been forcibly converted and will now be judged by a morality system you might not have even known existed and certainly did nothing to prepare for.

But that's where ten thousand more questions arise, because... how the fuck does someone hold onto their beliefs when they're explictly shown that OTHER religions are, not only 100% verifiably true, but are strong enough to override their original religion? Like, I'm sorry, man; if I was a muslim and ended up in Valhalla because I gave Thor a lift or some shit, I would be ever so pissed! This is not what I was promised!

If Disney weren't cowards, there would have been so many crusades once everyone was unsnapped, because possibly 50% of the human population just got definitive proof that the afterlife is real, and there's a very good chance that NONE of them were the "right" ones...

I’d like to show him my void I think—[GUNSHOTS]

[nondelphic]

yes this character is based on me. yes they are infinitely cooler, funnier, more attractive, and emotionally complex than me. yes i’m crying. and projecting.

[silvershadow1711]

When I draw Binary Star's costume, you might notice that I tend to... emphasize certain parts...

And sometimes I think I'm overdoing it, but...

No. No, I'm right, actually. The person responsible for the costume design in Thunderbolts* understand exactly where I'm coming from. You have to show off how big their penis is, otherwise their public approval won't be as high!

It's the only acceptable way to thirst trap-ify male superheroes because they won't let ME design their costumes.

Writing a yandere relationship but shaking my head the whole time to show that i don't support the ideas of monogamous marriage or the idea that you can only fall in love with one person for the rest of your life but nodding my head enthusiastically at the murder and the holding people hostage to show that i wholeheartedly endorse it

Hey man, ahead of this heatwave I'm gonna go ahead and rip the veil off of something for you:

The reason American Southerners have the luxury of saying that 90 ain't that bad and it's not unbearable until it's 100 is 1) prolonged exposure to high temperatures over multiple decades 2) our mindset for these living conditions.

You don't have number 1, and you can't just acquire it, so I need you to adopt number 2 immediately. How do you live like a Southerner in the heat?

Don't be a hero.

Stay inside. Buy a box fan, put it next to a bucket of ice, and wrap your arms around it like a lover. Do not leave the shade under any circumstances. If a dude makes fun of you for getting out of the sun, don't get mad, just think of a funnier insult to call him while you flip him off and go stand under a tree.

Southerners love nothing more than to exaggerate and lie to each other. Like I think we got off on the wrong foot when you walked in on us saying things like "It was only 110, I didn't even take my damn jacket off" when really, last week it was 95 at 10 PM and we were on the bed buck nekkid in front of the fan moaning incoherently and praying to die. So yeah, we can take extreme heat. We also want you to think we can take ludicrous heat. You must learn to talk shit and then be a hypocrite and a coward in your actions, because this will serve you best.

It sounds like I am joking but I cannot express to you how much I am not. Do not fuck with Mother Nature, because that bitch will kill you. Take every opportunity to lower your body temperature and drink water, because that is what all of us in hot climates are doing all the time, and that is why we are not dead, even when it seems like we should be.

(And yeah, we do go through like two and a half ugly weeks in April every year where everyone wants to absolutely just goddamn drop dead because none of us have our heat tolerance back, but we must go to work anyway, which must be a crime. And yes, when it gets below 70 we really all do short circuit and cover ourselves in seven jackets, except for Shorts Guy.)

So I was rewatching Pocahontas because it's my favorite Disney movie and it made me realize something. Specifically...

Like... y'all see it, right? I'm not saying Ray looks like John Smith (because he doesn't); I'm saying I've been subconciously drawing him to look like John Smith (and it *is* subconcious because I have not thought about this movie in years).

But, like... if you knew the hold that wicked blond man had on me as a child... 8 year old me broke the family VCR from playing the Pocahontas VHS so many times. The number of times my mom walked into the living room to see me with my grubby little hands pressed against the TV screen like the movie poster for Poltergeist, trying to phase through it any time John Smith was on screen... It wasn't even attraction because even then, I was a devout Pocajohn shipper (and, y'know, ace). It was like a religious thing, I think- I just wanted to be physically closer to the most beautiful man I'd ever seen in my very short life. I drew him so much when I was a teenager. I'm honestly surprised that it took seeing Erwin from AoT to reawaken that feral obsession with blond men, like a sleeper agent hearing their activation phrase...

Unpopular opinion,

Too many men are written as “dom daddy” types in fics.

Like be for real, that man would be honored to be your floor mat.

He’s not giving orders, he’s taking them.

Stop being afraid, put on your big boots, and step on that man.

[silvershadow1711]

If you're the kind of person who likes writing blonde men as the dommest dom daddies to ever dom, then I'm sorry but you're wrong.

Blonde men are biologically incapable of being doms. Their very DNA demands they be subby little bitches. It's a well-known fact that blonde men are, in fact, completely unable to orgasm without an appropriate amount of begging, crying, and leaking precum until their underwear are ruined and they've made a mess on the floor (scolding them for said mess is important enrichment).

Going through english dubs of poorly animated hentai from the 80s & they all sound like this.

"I'm getting low on both fuel and sex."
