make me choose: captain america: the winter soldier or spider-man: homecoming

We have to assume everyone aboard those carriers is HYDRA. We have to get past them, insert these server blades. And maybe, just maybe, we can salvage what's left.

What are your positives and negatives of the MCU?

of the whole thing?

positives:

- thor

- fun, even when it’s bad, perhaps Especially when it’s bad

- big men fight fight, muscles, tiddy muscles, looking at muscle men on a big screen is a lifestyle, not a hobby

- angela bassett is here

- i’ve met so many friends 

- lotsa cosplay ideas

- sometimes i cry

- gets me out the house which is very important because i would otherwise just lay around for weeks at a time 

- occasionally the movies are good and i love em

- if you’re like me and you like comics but don’t have time for them because you’re constantly trapped between college and writing a novel and depression brain eating away at your passion and motivation, it can be good to turn on a marvel movie and see comic book colors even if you aren’t always seeing ummmmmmmmmmmm comic book characterization  

- the black panther and ragnarok soundtracks babey!!!! 

- spider-man

negatives: 

- sometimes the casting department huffs paint

- j*ss wh*don was in it at one point and, worse than that, his first avengers movie is the only passable avengers movie, forcing me to give him credit for something

- it’s centered around THE most annoying avenger for no (money) reason 

- white

- straight

- misogynistic

- netflix daredevil and luke cage aren’t canon, matt’s ass isn’t canon, matt’s ASS isn’t canon

- The Fans(TM) 

- screenwriters bad

- taika made me see hulk’s bare ass 

- smage of smultron is one of the worst superhero movies ever made but getting people to admit that is like pulling teeth 

- spider-man

I have been rewatching Teen Wolf and the more I watch I realize something. I really do not like Stiles at all he kind of ruined the show for me.

Some people may not believe this, but it’s never been mygoal to make people stop liking Stiles Stilinski.  There’s nothing wrong with liking him, up toa point.

Stiles was never going to be my favorite character.  I have never appreciated characters who coverup their insecurities with sarcasm and sass, who deal with their own emotionalupset by lashing out at other characters. When writers create characters with that trait, they tend to forget thatthere are other characters on the receiving end of those barbs and outbursts,who have feelings as well.   What’s worse, they tend to downplay thoseother character’s responses or even make them ‘not taking it personally’ avirtue.  A character like Stiles whoprioritizes his own emotions above everything else, can only interact positively with agroup if everyone else in it sets their own emotions aside for him.  

Nothing epitomizes that to me more than in DamnatioMemoriae, while in the supposed process of repairing their friendship, Scotthas Stiles complete the pack symbol to reaffirm that Stiles is indeed part ofthe pack.   It was a sweet and powerfulmoment, ruined by Stiles “I still hate that tattoo.”  That tattoo serves as the pack symbol, linksthem to their origins through the Nemeton, and serves as a living memento toScott about Allison, and Stiles mocks it.  Scott, trying to rebuild a friendship, says “I know.” It’s not funny, it’smean.  What’s more, it’s a show ofdominance.  

But that’s not what makes me write so much about Stiles’weaknesses and negative characteristics. It was fandom – and then the show – that did that.

I was all right with Stiles for the most part until I gotinto fandom, and I found that not only was his role as Scott’s foil unrecognized,not only were his selfish and shitty moments celebrated, but that Scott wasabhorred because he was the focus of the show and not Stiles.  Scott was a bad friend because he had thenerve to focus on his own life and not revolve his existence around Stiles’emotional needs.

In a friendship where a character like Stiles lashes outwhen upset and uses mockery, it makes sense that his close friends would get used to it aftera while in order to maintain the friendship. The show certainly tried to imply that, but Scott’s easily familiarity with Stiles’behavior was taken by fandom as neglect.   Scott’sfocus on saving others and his own troubles – like permanently switchingspecies or the fact that his girlfriend’s family wanted to kill him – weretreated as signs of obliviousness or self-absorption because it distracted hisfocus from Stiles’ emotional problems.  

And then came Scott is a Terrible Person meta, which existedlong before I even had watched the first episode of the show.  And Scott is a Bad Alpha meta, which existedlong before I even opened Tumblr.   Andon Tumblr, where post after post never mentioned the main character or even outrightslighted Scott in his own tag.  And thencame the literally tens of thousands of fan fiction stories where Scott is anobstacle or an outright antagonist for Stiles. All of it for the sake of a whitecharacter who felt it was his right to tell Scott how he should live.  

And then, sadly, the popularity of this character affectedthe show.  Season 5B tried to fix theconflict between Scott’s responsibilities and Stiles’ insecurities by havingScott suffer a chest wound for six episodes silently, get the shit beat out ofhim repeatedly, and lose his second girlfriend, while Stiles was rewarded forlying, treachery, and breaking the law with a heroic moment, a new girlfriendand a career in law enforcement.  

And then 6A, which I was looking forward to because itpromised to show why everyone liked Stiles, but it didn’t in any way, shape orform, telling us that they liked him without telling us why, and being focusedexclusively on his story while he was only in three episodes.

You don’t have to stop liking Stiles.  I’m not going to tell you should or shouldn’t.  I talk about Stiles’ weaknesses as acharacter and the writing failures of the show because it tends to diminish myenjoyment of my favorite show and its fandom.
