It's really hard to pull off blue overalls these days. Wear a red shirt and suddenly you're Mario, green shirt and you're Luigi. Well, there are only two mario brothers and Wario's got purple overalls over his yellow shirt so you're safe, right? Wrong. blue overalls yellow shirt and suddenly you're a Minion.

If you said that in 2026 they'll finally start introducing the X-Men in the MCU and that it'll start with Jean and Peter siblingism, I would have slapped the shit out of you.

I know comic purists (me included) hate when the MCU makes significant changes in character relationship dynamics, but honestly.

I don't give a shit if it's well done. And frankly, I like the dynamic they built with Jean and Peter.

I know Jean typically isn't the go to when people think of "X-Men that Peter is close with"—it's usually Logan, Kurt, Bobby, Kitty and Emma sometimes (she has a soft spot for him)— like yeah, they're good friends and allies, but not close.

But I hope they continue this dynamic with her and Peter in the future. I also wouldn't mind Peter being close with the X-Men in MCU.

Not only will the mutants gain a loved and respected ally in someone like Spidey on their side. But it'll also hit so much harder for Peter when he realises that he inevitably was the person who essentially created the prototype for what will be the inhibitor collars.

How hurt he'll be that something he created was used to harm his new friends. Ugh, the angst would be delicious.

For the first time since Endgame I'm excited for the future of the MCU.

"umm actually karna wasn't discriminated against 🐷💡"

"caste is a british invention 🐷💡"

translation:

"don't ask me why the mahabharata keeps calling karna suta-putra, why pre-colonial dharmashastras discuss varna and jati, or why bhakti saints spent centuries condemning caste. one reddit thread told me i'm smarter than every historian 🤤"

[dazaicoree]

Suta Putra is a 'casteist' slur now🤣🤣🤣

[vishakhalunar]

talming ab some slurs while saying one lolz.

“sūta-putra is a slur now 🤣🤣🤣”

brother PLEASE 😭 nobody said it was the ancient Sanskrit n-word, you absolute semantic warrior. the point is that karna’s social status was used to humiliate and exclude him. you saw one word and started shadowboxing the dictionary like “erm actually 🤓☝️”

in the mahabharata’s tournament scene, kripa asks karna to state his lineage before he can duel arjuna, and bhima then mocks him on the basis of being a suta’s son. karna is literally described as hanging his head in shame.

like genuinely log off. the confidence-to-reading-comprehension ratio is fucking catastrophic.

[dazaicoree]

Learn the difference between Caste and Class, then start chimping Vishakha.

One of us do have a horrible comprehension issue and a habit of running away with tail between their legs, but it sure ain't me lmfao

[vishakhalunar]

aur tu yaha pe attention ki bheek maangna chhod de, dazai.

tell me where the fuck i said caste was the axis of discrimination faced by karna? YOU brought caste into the conversation, you dumbfuck, and now you’re arguing with a point i never even made 😭😭

acting like caste and class existed in two completely separate little fucking bubbles and never reinforced each other to produce social stratification. like congrats on discovering the word “class” and immediately using it as a get out of reading the text card 💀

[dazaicoree]

Teri bekaar posts meri tl pe aati hai toh main kya karun yaarr.

Memory of a goldfish or 71 Iq at display? If the focus of was just discrimination, why did u specifically mention caste and not class and caste rtrd?

[vishakhalunar]

woh beech mein comma aur space dikh rha?

sacchi m padhna ni aata.

[dazaicoree]

Tu bata na serif caste ki baat kyun ki phir? Caste aur class main difference nhi pata kya?

[vishakhalunar]

idk man, am i the pm of india? am i supposed to address everything, everywhere, all the time? mujhe jo laga woh bol diya. tujhe itni kyun chul mach rahi hai? tu class ke baare mein bol na, mujhe kyun pareshan kar rahi hai?

[dazaicoree]

Mera blog hai meri marzi that I wanna address rtrds?? tujhe aag lag rhi hai toh block Krlena, sabko ss leke rr nhi karte kya karein :/

[vishakhalunar]

le aur ek ss. aur mere "rr" se problem h toh block kr dena bkl.

itne chutiya takes, life mein kabhi nhi sunne.

Love, love the dichotomy of Peter being the first person to stand with and reach a hand out of kindness and support to mutankind.

While also accidentally creating the device that will ultimately become one of the greatest tools used for mutant (and mutates) oppression.

Jokes about how Mags is going to be hunting his ass aside.

Can you imagine the guilt that'll come with that revelation for Peter? It'll almost damn right kill him before any mutant can get his hands on him.

England isn't a real country, stupid. England is a lie to sell you more Doctor Who

Okay but the linguistic shenanigans that must inevitably have ensued on board the Hail Mary if Yáo and Ilyukhina had survived as well.

They keep English as their lingua franca since they all speak it and are used to it at this point, but that doesn’t stop parts of other languages from getting mixed in. Rocky borrows bits and pieces of everybody’s grammar. He asks for a word for something and no one can come up with an equivalent until Yáo offers up a Mandarin word and they just all roll with it. Rocky notices Yáo and Grace aren’t prone to cursing so he gets Ilyukhina to teach him some handy phrases and the two of them swear loudly in Russian whenever something goes wrong.

They focus their vocab-sharing sessions on English for practical reasons but in their spare time Yáo and Ilyukhina teach Rocky bits of their own languages and use them to jokingly gossip in front of Grace, who can pick out his name but not much else (and who starts trying to teach himself and Rocky to speak Klingon using the pirated files on the laptop just to get back at them).

They adopt each other’s vocabulary. They argue over translations. They create so many weird pidgins. They talk and they laugh and they share and even out here in the depths of space they keep pieces of their home cultures alive in their mingled voices.

Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.

unfortunately i can never hate on a "power of friendship" narrative no matter how corny because the thing is it's literally real

[nickythehickey]

there are a few people actually whose blogs just look like this to me and i hope they know i still love them

[notquiteaghost]

concept. grace trying to have his cake (prove to rocky this is not the first time in his entire life he's been close to another person) and eat it too (continue to avoid confessing he did not actually volunteer to be on the hail mary) by talking about stratt, the woman in charge of the whole project, very infrequently. five whole sentences the whole journey back to erid. but he talks about eva a lot. eva is his friend. eva worked on the project with him, eva and him spent a lot of time together, he misses her something awful, sometimes rocky reminds him of her. rocky does not need to know eva and stratt are the same person. grace is in no way hoisting a sword up to hover dangerously above his head.

[kewti-est]

I just learned that they filmed PHM in order, and I am weirdly excited about it. One of the things that frustrates me most about filmed mediums, specifically, is that it's SO much more difficult for actors to be in character, locked in, when they haven't experienced something yet. It also allows for less improvisation (something they held in high esteem for PHM and is yet another thing I love about this film) due to continuity problems. Filming it in order also meant that Ryan Gosling had already spent weeks filming alone before Rocky showed up, which he himself said in an interview made it so much easier to embody Ryland. "By the time Rocky shows up, I genuinely need a friend." Direct quote!!! The fact that James Ortiz and his team were in sync enough with the Rocky puppet to do improv, so much so that Ryan didn't feel like he was acting with a puppet. The fact that Gosling selected this film specifically, asked Chris and Phil to direct, and then committed SO HARD to the character. He was SO involved in making this movie and it shows! I thought I was over it but I am not. Film of the decade for me guys.

[its-timego]

I feel like in the movie so much of Grace and Stratt's strange relationship is a snowball effect of Grace's initial complete obliviousness to who/how powerful she actually is. She doesn't say "I'm the Director of the Petrova Task Force" when she comes to his school, she just says "I'm with the Petrova Task Force." And so at first she's just This Weird Lady Who Kidnapped Me, and then she kidnaps him again onto the boat and suddenly he's getting shoved in front of a room full of scientists and told to explain the astrophage breeding and oh no oh no now there's EXPECTATIONS, so she stops being This Weird Lady Who Kidnapped Me and is This Weird Lady Who Kidnapped Me And Much More Importantly Is The Only Familiar Presence In An Extremely Scary Situation. (Enter instinctively grabbing her hand when she comes to tell him to sit down and also whispering the Venus thing into her ear instead of talking into the microphone.)

Then however much later, oh she's dictator of the world you say? Whoopsies, too bad, I've already, to her perplexity, emotionally imprinted on the dictator of the world, I guess.

[ehyde]

“Grace! Why Eridian drawing on your words of encouragement, question?”

I’d never shown Rocky the cards and drawings that were sent with me before. “Eridian drawing?” I look at the symbol he’s pointing his texture gun at. “What do you mean?”

“Is simple way to draw Eridian. Like simple human next to it.” The simple human in question is a stick figure. And — rotationally symmetric, five equal limbs — yeah, I can see it. The Eridian stick figure equivalent. “Not possible for humans to know we meet,” Rocky says. 

“They didn’t,” I say. “On Earth, that’s how we draw a star.”

[buttered-milky]

You know what they shoulda left Yao saying “I won’t have anyone on my crew who doesn’t want to be there” in the movie. I think it’s integral to the themes. Yknow, there’s always someone in your corner when you least expect it. People are willing to defend those they know relatively little. Love is a powerful force etc etc

Like having dictator of the world tell u ur fucking going to space whether u like it or not is scary and then thinking god fucking Christ no one will even protest this bc they too must all think I’m a coward is even scarier but no. One guy did protest it. Stratt even directly addressed that the amnesia wasn’t even just for graces sake but to prevent Yao and Ilyukhina’s anger at that act from disrupting the mission. Okay bye

[phoenixes-and-wizards]

the movie showing how jean can feel whatever her “host” is feeling can only mean that during all those excruciating hours that peter was on the surgical table and she was the only thing keeping him alive, she very probably felt everything—every needle, every stitch, every poke and prod. and yet she stayed because peter promised her she wouldn’t be alone anymore, so she’s sure as hell gonna make sure he won’t be either.
