used to think it terribly silly (and kinda funny) when fantasy or sci-fi stories would have people refer to major recent historical events as The Flood or The Incident or The Revolution, and im sure historians fucking hate that because it's not helpful or descriptive, but we sure do be calling it The Pandemic

Steve Rogers and the people who loved him before he was Captain America.

The serum amplifies everything that is inside, so good becomes great; bad becomes worse. This is why you were chosen. Because a strong man who has known power all his life may lose respect for that power, but a weak man knows the value of strength, and knows compassion. Whatever happens tomorrow, you must promise me one thing. That you will stay who you are, not a perfect soldier, but a good man.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STEVEN GRANT ROGERS (July 4th, 1918)

We need more women characters who are Male Protagonists. You know. Slightly haggard. She's splashing cold water on her face and gripping the edge of the sink staring in the mirror for a minute. She's coping badly with her deadwife

This has been my main argument against "AI" from the very beginning.

OpenAI scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us.

And worse, they're trying to destroy the free sources that they stole from. It's destruction of human knowledge on an unprecedented scale. The burning of the library of Alexandria has nothing on this.

we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write gen fics. we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write character studies and stories with no focus on romance or sex. we have to get on our knees and thank the brave soldiers in fandom who write about minor characters and friendship and family with no focus on romance or sex. i know it’s hard to care about characters in a world that seems to only revolve around ships but i see you. and i love you

I LOVE SUPERGIRL!!

I do think the ability to emoji-react is a net win for human communication. not only does it give you an outlet for 'I see and acknowledge this but don't have a verbal response' but it also adds a pleasing alethiometer element to things

my coworker announces that he's off to the dentist. someone reacts with a tooth emoji. is this a statement of dentist solidarity? a wish for my coworker to return with more (or fewer?) teeth than he set out with? simple word association? who can say

they just hate that the supergirl movie is a woman-led, women-centric superhero movie. it’s practically textbook. I would say many female-led superhero movies don’t usually follow that to the T. captain marvel, black widow, wonder woman—this isn’t meant to hate on the movies by any means, but supergirl actively follows the standard superhero story in a way that other female-led superhero films often leave as secondary to explorations of identity and family.

yes, these are things prevalent to the overall development of kara through the movie, but the movie never acts like kara doesn’t know who she is. yes, there is grief and, yes, there is the sense of feeling out-of-place considering she’s navigating having lost her whole planet and race besides her cousin who grew up on a totally different planet, but it moves secondary to the story about her trying to save her dog and ensure ruthye remains good (and even the latter comes a bit after the saving the dog part).

you know kara is the hero. you know she’s going to (maybe reluctantly) help ruthye. you know she’s going to do what she has to to save her dog. it’s established early from when ruthye appears in the bar that kara will not just turn away from someone she can help. kara knows who she is. she knows her values. she knows what she stands for and what she’s willing to do. in fact it’s in her warning to ruthye about hunting down krem that this is further implied. if kara lacks character development it’s because the movie isn’t really about kara’s search for identity, it’s about establishing who supergirl is to the audience. remember, they’re actively working to setup a superhero universe/franchise. and it’s, in many ways, done in juxtaposition to superman (if you need a man to make this matter to you).

the main journey of the film isn’t kara trying to regain her memories or explore the a world outside her own and her place in that or move on from a chapter in her life or navigating complex family dynamics or finding love. not that those are bad things. those make for amazing stories. but supergirl is honestly just about kara being a hero. it’s kara saving her dog after the villian poisons him. it’s kara helping a girl bring the villain to justice after he murdered the girls family. it’s kara saving a bunch of child brides. that’s the story. that’s the plot.

it’s a superhero movie.
