scarlet johannson did not spend an entire decade fighting tooth and nail to make natasha into an actual character instead of the sex object writers wanted her to be while also having to endure the most vile, misogynistic questions during press tours for people to now disrespect her legacy because yelena is 'better'. the only reason why that is, is because of everything scarlet went through. natasha singlehandedly paved the way for every other female superhero in the mcu and don't you forget that

carlovanderoer: I had a lot of fun making this with @taikawaititi @ritaora -- currently showing in Shanghai. ( links to work in bio )

Toru, 2024 is a collaboration between New Zealand artists / filmmakers Taika Waititi and Carlo Van de Roer. a three channel video installation. Inspired by the significance of Tokotoru, or Trinity, in Maori culture, the work weaves together themes of unity -- earth, sea, sky -- and references to mythology, including the Maori myth of Tane retrieving three baskets of knowledge -- the basket of light, the basket of darkness and the basket of pursuit.

Each film operates as a different recollection or interpretation of the same performance and space. A filmmaking approach called PlateLight enables the same moment to be captured with different lighting conditions. This results in three versions of the same film, presenting a record of the past as photographically accurate, yet fluid and authorable like myth.

Toru, 2024, is opening at the West Bund Art Center and traveling internationally throughout 2024, commissioned by @cartier with curator @jeromesans.

Made with the love and magic of @stuetr @satellite_lab @mikeberlucchi @wearecasey @olivierwicki_la

Gorgeous and evocative.

A movie that deserves to be seen. A story that deserves to be known.

"In 1963, eighteen-year-old Patricia Weir is kidnapped and brutally raped. Committed to putting her attacker, Ernesto Miranda, in prison, Trish's life is destroyed by America's legal system as she triggers a law that transforms the nation."

Emily VanCamp is so kind and so full of grace.

Since she was introduced, MCU fandom as a whole was vile, aggressive, and condescending. Loudly, continuously, publicly. No one from the studio took her side, moreover, they pandered (and continue to do so) to the haters. 

The media was awful as well. You think grown-ass journalists would act professionally. BUT NO!  They collectively acted as petty middle schoolers.

Thought all of that Emily never once said a bad word about the studios, about the fans, about directors, about the writers. She was full of praise for everyone included. And a bright, classy presence.

💖 What a woman. 💖

Emily, if you decide you’re sick of Marvel’s treatment and you want revenge, I fully support you!

anyways here's a hot take about sharon's ending in fatws ( which, to preface, i hate, so im not justifying it )

we would've never gotten here if the mcu fandom hadn't pushed for it so much, specifically peggy stans and hayley atwell / hayley atwell stans.

to clarify, you all spent years saying that peggy wasn't just steve's love interest, that steve needed to move on, etc, but when steve moved on to sharon ( who btw is his ACTUAL soulmate and has been for 60+ years, not miss " emotionally abusive bigot " 616 peggy carter ), you turned it into a " steve is PEGGY'S man " / " PEGGY is steve's girl " argument. it was y'all that diminished her to that, AND you diminished sharon to that in the process ( because mind you, in terms of things canon to the mcu anymore, sharon did a hell of a lot more in ws + cw than peggy did in tfa, especially for steve ).

you harassed emily vancamp, you signed petitions to get sharon written out of the mcu, etc. YOU GUYS and *only* you guys, made it clear that you didn't want steve to be with anyone if it wasn't peggy or bucky. so then they sent steve back to peggy ( because let's be real, disney was NEVER going through o make stucky canon ) and then all of you complained that " it took away peggy's choice / authority / story / arc / etc ". YOU DID THAT TO HER.

you told marvel that the one person they were trying to set steve up with wasn't good enough, especially compared to peggy, so they gave you what you wanted and then you complained about it like brats because it wasn't ACTUALLY what you wanted, you just wanted to hate on sharon because she wasn't peggy or natasha, as if multiple badass shield agent women can't coexist.

after civil war, the rise of sharon hate grew exponentially with people claiming she MUST be a villain, or that she " feels " evil, or that she was clearly manipulating everything. and again, you harassed emily vancamp and you encouraged hayley atwell's vile behavior with cheers and laughter, and it got so far that they literally had to pull sharon and evc from the films for *five years.*

and now she's back. and again, because of the narrative that you guys perpetuated - that she was evil, a villain, manipulating everyone around her - that's exactly what marvel did. you said she was just a love interest so they did the opposite. and you STILL hate her. emily vancamp is STILL being harassed over the role. and when i say it's majority peggy fans, it is, because the only people i EVER see talking about how terrible sharon is are ones saying she " doesn't live up to queen peggy's legacy ". and while this might not be all peggy fans, im sure some of you are wonderful, it is a whole lot of you.

and now, after getting what you wanted AGAIN, you're complaining about how it " ruins peggy's legacy ". hate to break it to you miss peggy carter was not a good person, no better than sharon as the powerbroker. she hired multiple hydra agents into her organization for operation paperclip ( including zola who was skull's literal right hand man ), gave them completely free range and was oblivious enough in her own organization to let that run free. which means she either allowed it to happen or was an incompetent enough leader that it was able to.

second issue? the fact that she was the director of shield the ENTIRE time isaiah and that group of black men were being tested on, tortured, killed, beaten, and anything else that happened. shield was the most influential government establishment in the mcu pre - winter soldier, not to mention the fact that they're generally known for handling enhanced beings. there's ZERO POSSIBLE WAY she did not know about what was happening. which means she was, again, either an incompetent leader or a racist ( like she is in the comics ). because him being in prison for 30 years means it had to have been a prison that could contain a super soldier, could test competently on super soldiers, and had the ability to erase everything about him. *aka shield.* so either ALL OF THAT happened right under her nose or she stood back and let them do that to him.

sharon didn't ruin peggy's legacy. peggy didn't have a legacy being a good person to begin with. which is FINE because she's a government agent, but it's absolutely NO excuse to use her " golden accomplishments " to justify your vile treatment of sharon carter and it never has been.

If MCU won't give me SharonBucky, please cast Emily and Sebastian for another movie.

[benedictsvestcollection]

If ya’ll are gonna go this hard for Wyatt Russell getting hate sent to his non-existent social media accounts…. (As in, he’s NEVER been on social media. Whatever accounts they weren’t actually him)

Then I’m gonna need ya’ll to put that same energy into defending Emily VanCamp for getting sent death threats, etc (via both social media AND actual ‘fan mail’) for the last SEVERAL years b/c she dared exist next to Steve Rogers and now Bucky & Sam. And she doesn’t even play an antagonist. 

Otherwise I’m getting tired of this bullshit. 

If you’re gonna go this hard to defend an innocent man for playing an antagonist, who’s getting hate. You can do the same for an innocent woman who’s playing a good person/ally to the good guys. Who dared get in the way of your fetishsized mlm ship that never happened. 

End of story.

Can't wait for this movie! 😍❤️

[lachemisenoire]

Ahead of the TFATWS premiere, here are some things we are NOT going to do.

We are not going to:

Downplay the significance of Sam Wilson being the first Black Captain America in the MCU.

Complain about Bucky not being the new Cap.

Make racist comments about a Black woman (cough Sarah Wilson cough) just because Bucky dares show an interest in her.

Fly into a rage if Bucky and Sharon get together. Go cry into your Stucky fanfic printouts. 

Fly into a rage if Bucky and Sarah get together. Go cry into your Stucky fanfic printouts [2]. 

Transfer any dislike of a fictional character onto the actor or actress who plays them.

Hate on Sharon Carter. If you’ve been in the fandom long enough, this does not need to be expanded upon. Just fucking stop.

[vstwilight]

Exactly this!

[hyoukanee]

I am just sitting at my corner and shipping whatever I want. I don’t touch anyone and don’t insult others pairings. Please do the same ~

1 second of Bucky and Sharon sharing screen and the hate is on.

“Welcome to the Discord server completely dedicated to praising Sharon Carter! Here you won’t have to defend Agent 13 against a bunch of morons using the exhausted “love interest” argument. There’s definitely a small **army** of Agent 13 stans that have been vocal about how the Marvel Cinematic Universe and MCU fans have treated the iconic character, and the actress who plays her since 2014’s CA: TWS. Despite Emily Vancamp’s devoted dedication and respect to bring this iconic role to life, she’s unfortunately had to bear the brunt of the shitty writing from sexist fans who love to antagonize Sharon Carter. It doesn’t help the fact that Emily’s only ever been asked misogynistic and sexist questions during MCU press junkets. Sharon Carter officially makes her comeback in “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” premiering March 19 exclusively on Disney+ and will most likely incite another wave of stupidity from MCU fans. Let’s unite to gatekeep this beautiful, kickass woman together. Feel free to protect your peace here where absolutely no Agent 13/Sharon Carter/Emily Vancamp slander is allowed.”
