oh deeply lonely traumatized depressed marvel characters you mean so much to me

This movie was so unapologetically New York it was wonderful.

Bad Bunny started playing and my theater started cheering. There’s a halal butcher shop next to a bodega, the kid Peter saved is a wearing a Knicks jersey and there’s a random tourist bus that’s filled with people wearing tacky New York merchandise. My favorite detail is when Empire State turned on its lights to support Spiderman just like how it does in real life with actual events.

The city is alive, vibrant, and in tune with Spider-Man and we see it become its own character rather than just a background setting. Peter finally interacts with the city again as a figure and as a person as well. There’s people who talk to him, who try to help in battles and these are all the moments that make the city a living and breathing home for Peter Parker and Spiderman together.

Tom Holland has such a better Queens accent too and the final moments of the movie are the end credits of everyday New Yorkers living their lives. Just parks, shots of our skyline and the people who make up the city. Idk but like I’m a New Yorker, and I just looked around in my theater and I saw so many people like me all wearing Spiderman merch who were all able to look on screen and see our home represented perfectly.

In my opinion, wondering whether or not you’re a good person or a bad person isn’t really a constructive or useful activity.

You’re too close to yourself to make that kind of judgement. You’re not really qualified to judge the exterior of a house that you’re always standing inside of.

Anyways since I’ve switched to the mindset of “I’m just gonna keep trying and not try to pass final judgement on myself because that’s above my pay grade” I have unsurprisingly had way less nights sobbing on the floor convinced that I’m a terrible irredeemable piece of human garbage.

Am I good? Am I bad? Not my business. I’m just gonna keep trying to do better and let the cards fall where they may.

[what-even-is-thiss]

My relationship with myself has improved a lot in general since I stopped trying to reach perfection.

Am I even expected to be perfect? Nah. I’m just some guy. Am I a good guy? A bad guy? A neutral guy? I dunno. I’m just a guy that’s trying. And that’s fine.

Me and myself don’t need to be in competition with each other for absolute perfection. We can just hang out. Eat a sandwich. Get some stuff done. Take a nap. Try to do a little better. That’s all we can do, really.

don’t take my defeatism too seriously I will always begin again and again no matter what

I might sound miserable most of the time but at my core I’m a very hopeful person

"spiderman brand new day has a good plot"

looks inside plot

''there is no righteousness in suffering alone and isolating yourself from everything is never the answer because you'll eventually start to lose sense of who you are as you spiral further into depression and suicidal ideation this is why you need to let people help you and allow yourself to believe in a better future even if it feels impossible at times''

well shit. it does have a good plot

[bl00mingcarnations]

since one of my besties did this here's some general spiderman thoughts from me bc I can post

I freaking love spiderman more now I feel like he grew more and really grew into his own skin (obviously that comes with him being like a real adult now but yk what I mean)

jean Grey's powers are genuinely scary and yet so cool

Ned being canonically one of the first people to actually remember peter is perfect. and it makes sense bc scent and muscle memory will always be stronger than working memory

frank is literally such a cool character and his dynamic with peter is great

I think yelena was the best possible character that peter could have gone to for advice bc not only did she give advice for being a superhero she gave advice for him emotionally and after thunderbolts I didn't blame her

seeing may again was literally the best and worst things ever bc I love her and miss her

knowing that the last thing Sarah saw was a vent in a prison cell was genuinely heart breaking

also knew he was the bad guy after he came out all calm and collected like 'Spider-Man there are just some things I can't tell you' and like usually the guy who's in charge of a big company or image of like supernatural stuff is a bad guy

etc there's probably more but I can't think of any rn

[sparklezart2000]

there's something so special to me about ned, who always seems to be sidelined by the writers for peter and mj, being the one to remember peter before even mj could. the way he was trying to unmask spiderman for himself, the way it felt like he needed to find him, and the way it was still muscle memory for their handshake, the handshake that triggered the memories. heck i really do feel like the movie was setting up for ned to remember the whole time.

anyway welcome back ceo, and welcome back my favorite platonic soulmates :)

so christopher nolan drilled into an active historical site to rig a scene, dumped a bunch of plastic skeletons into the ocean with no plan to fish them out, and ruined an actual Viking ship on loan from sweden and refuses to pay for damages. all for that garbage movie.

hikes are very good yes but a deluxe hike is when you are accompanied by a freak with niche nature knowledge. they’re like omg stop there’s a horned valerian varmint beetle here and then you both get to crouch down and look at a bug like :)

One thing that I really really adored in the Hadestown proshot was the camera focusing on the musicians occasionally. It was such a nice detail to me because all of them are so talented and I like seeing their expressions while the play is going on in the background

The proshot is so sick go watch it now.

[cherryitadraws]

keep that furnace fed with the fossils of the dead...

[phantomfandoms491]

Cannot possibly explain how feral I feel about the Hadestown proshot having so many shots that include the audience. Because they’re as much of a part of the story as Orpheus and Eurydice and Hades and Persephone are. Because they are there watching however they’re powerless to do anything except watch because that’s just the way the story goes but they sing it anyways and and and

[Description: A divorce lawyer answering the question "do you believe in soulmates?"

He answers: I believe that whoever created the concept of soulmates should be taken into the town square and beaten to death. Or you should tell me who they are so I can send them a check for a couple of hundred thousand dollars, because they have done more to facilitate the demise of happy marriages than I could ever aspire to doing.

The concept of a soulmate to me is absolutely bizarre. To suggest that out of eight billion other people in the world, that there's just this one person, and they happen by the way to live within like the same town as you, where they went to the same university as you - what were the odds of that? And that's the only person you could ever have a happy, fulfilling relationship with. That's insane, folks. It's insane. And by the way, it's toxic. Because here's the thing: when you get married, society essentially tells you, this person, they're supposed to be your best friend, best lover, best roommate, best travel companion, best co-parent - that's a hell of a resume, guy. Like, it'd be shocking to find someone who fits all three of those things.

So what happens when you have this concept of a soulmate? And my partner, you know, they're the best co-parent, they're the best roommate, the best travel companion, but you know, they're not the best lover I ever had. Well, they mustn't be your soulmate then. That means that there's somebody out there in the eight billion people, that they would be the perfect one. And that's what the horizon that just forever recedes and keeps people constantly craving the next thing that might check all of the boxes. It's dangerous.

Look, we break in relationship, we heal in relationship. You're marrying a human being. They're just as flawed as you. They have great moments, they have awful moments, they have heroic moments, they have villainous moments. This idea that somebody out there is going to be this perfect angelic presence in your life, it is a fiction, and it is the siren song that's gonna send you right into the rocks of my office. /End Description]

The panic attack scene in Disclosure Day rewrote a part of my brain. It’s the moment the movie makes itself clear it’s about not being alone. Margaret feels completely alone in that moment, she honestly feels like she’s dying, lost in this pure visceral terror of almost dying, shaking and crying.

And then suddenly Daniel is there. He’s trying to calm her down until finally he grabs her hands and forces them against those strings to ground her. But he doesn’t stop there. He completely covers her body with his own, his nose in her hair, his hands covering hers. He covers her, shields her, reminds her she is not alone. She has someone to be her shield and cover when she needs one.

Just as he is not alone anymore. He has someone who literally understands him completely. She understands him when he needs to be understood. He shields her when she needs someone to be that shield.

Such a fan of them being not platonic, not romantic, but that secret third thing. Fated soulmates that are exactly what the other one needed.
