Wow, here’s something that certainly didn’t took forever x_X
This is my submission for the fanart contest for the SagGeek event. Once it’ll be done editing I’ll update/reblog this post with a link to the speed draw video I made as well
Wonder Woman scoring super fresh on rotten tomatoes rn unlike— every other DC cinematic universe movie up to this point, and DC meanwhile is still like “Wonder Woman? I don’t know her.” *barely markets.*
*Shrugs*
There was quite a bit of marketing for this film (her poster went up in Times Square, she’s on Dr. Pepper cans, can’t go on youtube without seeing an ad for her, numerous toys in stores, magazine covers galore), but I understand it’s easier to go with the narrative that she wasn’t being marketed.
You gotta wonder whether it’s really a coincidence that the Western world’s sudden, catastrophic loss of herd immunity to authoritarian nationalism comes at the tail end of living memory of the 1930s.
There is no society so civilized, developed, and cosmopolitan that it can flirt with fascism without consequences. And the last people who saw the most advanced countries in the world implode into barbarism are reaching the end of their lives right now.
It’s… terrifying, and also unspeakably sad, how little time it took to forget.
@shinelikethunder
I honestly think that people have to learn the same lessons over and over again, because they do not stick.
Sadly, the ones who are going to survive this latest lapse in judgment are likely the ones in power, who are responsible for driving the Western world back into fascism.
#i’m distraught#in case anyone hasn’t realized this which a lot of you probably have#the reason why jay doesn’t try to defend himself here#like doesn’t even try to block his face from bruce’s punch#is because he’s so emotionally compromised#that he’s reverted back to how he was conditioned to react to beatings#which is to do nothing#to just take them#and you can see in his eyes how scared he is and how he doesn’t want to be hit#but this is literally how he’s been conditioned to respond#his mental state is so fragile here#and it breaks my heart [X]

“I teach English at a community college in Queens. I love the job, but I hate grading papers. I’d prefer to just have one continuous discussion about Shakespeare. I envy the math teachers who can just put their tests through a Scantron machine. Placing value on a student’s writing is much more nuanced and complicated. What if they have great ideas but their English language skills aren’t as developed? What if English is their second language? What if they’ve faced major challenges in life? Do I ignore those things? Or do I consider context while grading? I want to set high standards and prepare my students for what comes next. But so many of them already have a self-defeating attitude. And I don’t want to discourage them any further.”
mood: chris pratt making it clear he doesn’t like jennifer lawrence without actually saying anything
#uhhhhhhhhhh #no #he didn’t say anything? #wtf? #why does he get credit for being silent? #talk about white people white fave logic #getting cookies for not doing anything #he could have fucking called her out on tv instead of sitting there like what she was saying didn’t disrespect an entire people #like millions of people didn’t hear her and think she was actually funny and not gross and that what she did was okay #fuck that #Chris Pratt did nothing and that’s not okay #you don’t get cookies for silence i don’t care how much of a white fave you are
yeah, and also if you actually watch chris pratt through her story you can clearly see he thought it was funny. he even laughed at the end of the story, like he definitely does not get a pass.
IDK, it looked like forced laughter. He also removed his hand from behind her so I think maybe let’s just not assume he likes or dislikes her tbh
But, for those who STILL don’t get how contracts work! He LITERALLY COULD NOT have called her out on stage! Actors literally get clauses in their contracts saying they can’t bad mouth co-stars or any of the crew while promoting films.
As much as the guy would probably love calling her a shitty person, having a job, credibility, and not going to court for breaking a contract is a little more important
WHAT CONTRACT?! You people literally invent excuses for white people’s silence out of thin air and then spread them around like fact. THERE IS NO CONTRACT THAT FORBIDS YOU FROM PUBLICALLY DISAGREEING WITH YOUR COSTAR. NONE. That is not a motherfucking thing. Actors can and have literally humiliated their costars on live TV with no consequences. He would not have gotten in trouble for saying something as simple as “that’s fucked up”. That’s the bare minimum, it’s vague enough to be a joke, but it still hints at disapproval.
You people are so goddamn stupid pretending this rich, popular white man who has starred in multiple major movie franchies is somehow powerless in Hollywood. Like there arent people less rich, less popular and not white or male with more to lose who stand up against racism every damn day. Pull your heads out of your asses and realize that there is nothing a white guy can say that would make people turn on him. Not-a-god-damn-thing. The current fuckshit that is the future president of America is living proof of that. White guys have the absolute least to lose by standing up to racism. They. Just. Don’t. Want. To.
was this in his contract too
@bangawang
LMFAOOOOOO
Just like we discussed. :D
true lol
...
I guess it’s just me, but I’m getting tired of the Staron hate.
Also, if you’re looking towards MCU for great LGBTQ representation, not a great place to do it.
Guys, Direct Relief (directrelief.org) is one of the highest-rated charities with 99% of donated money going directly to their programs. As I’m sure you’ve heard, Aleppo is about to be completely destroyed. DO is assisting with the Syrian Refugee Crisis and can use all the help they can get. If you are in a position to donate, please do so.
Whether or not you can donate, please reblog.
Man that Gotham City Sirens movie is gonna be god awful
It’s really weird how people don’t learn their lessons from DC.
Eh, I think it’ll be fine, but I liked Suicide Squad.
:D
Things i didn’t know i wanted untill now,
In a library filled with the sounds of shuffling books and beeping scanners, librarian and Chicana activist Martha Cotera found the words she needed to fuel her movement.
‘In a library filled with the sounds of shuffling books and beeping scanners, librarian and Chicana activist Martha Cotera found the words she needed to fuel her movement.Cotera, a major figure in the Chicana feminism movement, is best known for her activity in La Raza Unida and for her hundreds of published works. La Raza Unida was a Texas-based political party that promoted the election of Mexican-American officials and was a significant part of the Chicano civil rights movement in the ’70s.During her time with the party, Cotera began to recognize the marginalization of Chicanas within the Mexican-American community and published many works detailing the need to address sexism within that context.Cotera said her work in Chicana feminism would not have been possible without the services provided by educational institutions. Her identity as a librarian led her to address issues of representation in academic contexts, such as the exclusion of certain community documents from colleges and libraries. ‘
@bangawang
Peter Parker is self sufficient and brilliant in his own right, I don’t like how the MCU is making him so dependent on Tony Stark for tech
The film isn’t even out yet ugh.
So? The fact that Tony is even such a big focus of the teaser is concerning to me. Spidey should exist outside of Tony’s influence and he certainly has no reason to be in his movie
@cptainjameskirk
RDJ does bring in the big bucks, so I understand why he was cast in the film. (I wonder how much of the BO RDJ is taking.) Creatively, it’s somewhat limiting.
To many white Trump voters, the problem wasn’t her economic stance, but the larger vision—a multi-ethnic social democracy—that it was a part of.
“She detailed plans to help coal miners and steel workers. She had decades of ideas to help parents, particularly working moms, and their children. She had plans to help young men who were getting out of prison and old men who were getting into new careers. She talked about the dignity of manufacturing jobs, the promise of clean-energy jobs, and the Obama administration’s record of creating private-sector jobs for a record-breaking number of consecutive months. She said the word ‘job’ more in the Democratic National Convention speech than Trump did in the RNC acceptance speech; she mentioned the word ‘jobs’ more during the first presidential debate than Trump did. She offered the most comprehensively progressive economic platform of any presidential candidate in history—one specifically tailored to an economy powered by an educated workforce.”
@bangawang
The article in a nutshell - there are people so selfish that they’re happily willing to suffer as long as people they deem to be less deserving suffer more.
Stock buybacks manipulate the market and leave most Americans worse off.
One of the most important articles on our current economic mess I’ve read in a long time. If you’ve ever wondered “but where the fuck is all the money going and how is it getting there?”, this is a major component. Executive pay is a symptom, and the way it’s structured is an incentive to engage in this bullshit, but on its own it’s a drop in the bucket–it takes a lot more than CEO salaries to bleed the economy dry.
Kids These Days love talking shit about capitalism, but can you really blame them when this is what’s been sold to us as capitalism for the past thirty years? The fundamental happy feedback loop of capitalism, the thing that makes it work as an engine of innovation and prosperity, is successful businesses reinvesting their profits in their own productive capacity. Their workforce. Their facilities, equipment, and infrastructure. Their R&D. If one business decides to funnel its profits into the financial sector instead, and keep wringing more and more productivity out of increasingly-exhausted workers and increasingly-antiquated equipment with less than the bare minimum in return, its workers will trickle away to better jobs and its competitors will eat it alive. But if it happens systematically, across the entire economy, at a time when antitrust enforcement is at its weakest and the legal playing field is heavily tilted towards shareholders… well, we’re living the results of that.
@shinelikethunder
It drives me nuts that as a whole, the public excuses the profits-driven mentality of corporations as “well, it’s a business, and w/e they do is fine because they should be concerned with the bottomline only.”
It’s not even profits and bottom lines! There is no shortage of profits in American business, and that’s not a bad thing–the problem is that instead of being reinvested or spent in places where they’ll circulate through the rest of the economy, they’re being diverted into the twin black holes of offshore tax shelters and the stock market. At which point corporate America shrugs its shoulders, scratches its head, and pretends it has no fucking idea where the money went or why it can’t scrape together the spare change to train you or even pay you subsistence wages. You must not be working hard enough. You should put more of the money you don’t have into funding your own training and education–which definitely doesn’t count as an investment in the company’s productive capacity, so don’t you go expecting a seat on the gravy train or anything.
