There's something about The Eternals credit scene that has me flying every time - every. time. - I think about it and it's --
We all know Druig has learn how to fight for himself, after 7000+ years and five centuries on his own in the Amazon rainforest, but. Put him in a room with Thena and Makkari and he will automatically fold back into 'fighting skills? I don't know her.'
My man was happily eating, blissfully unaware of their ship being boarded because he probably knew perfectly well that his beautiful beautiful Makkari and the goddes of war that conveniently is his sister could and would take care of whatever idiot thought it a good idea to attack them.
Like. Thena and Makkari felt something wrong even before Harry Styles made his Drammatic Entrance™ while Druig was just standing there, confused, because he didn't need to be on high allert when the fighters of the family are with him.
All in all, I think it's really sexy of them.

Hi, I'm trying to spread awareness to as many MCU fans as possible about Wanda and Pietro Maximoff's whitewashing. In Marvel comics, the twins are Romani. Romani people are an ethnic group of Northern Indian origin. Wanda and Pietro, for the majority of their existence in Marvel comics, have been canonically Romani. Although the illustrators often draw them with light-skin, they are people of color and should be recognized as such. The MCU cast white actors (Olsen and Taylor-Johnson) to play them. Olsen has even continuously used a derogatory anti-Romani slur to describe Wanda in interviews, despite being told years ago on the Graham Norton show that that word is racist. I know that I probably won't be able to make much of a change just by going around on Tumblr trying to inform people but I figured if enough social media backlash can get Disney to fire somebody like Gina Carano, maybe there's a possibility that Disney will do the same here. I also found a YouTube video that explains the situation pretty well. Thank you!

Yes.
Louder for the people in back!
I honestly didn't knew Elisabeth Olsen had used (is still using?) anti-Romani slur in interviews, but the whole whitewashing could have been easly avoided. And, I mean, if you really had to force down your fans' throats a white actor for a character that is not, in fact, white because they're light-skinned, the least you could do is acknowledge Wanda's and Pietro's ethnicity in a different way than throw it in their faces as a semi-joke in the serie.
What is happening with Wanda is the erase of an entire character. You still call her Wanda, she still has the name of the Scarlet Witch, but she is white now, she is portrayed by a white woman and her being a Romani is nothing more than a wink for the comics fans in the show. A "see? She talked about her Romani heritage. We're good, we do representation".
At this point, that simply is not enough.
Whitewashing is a serious issue in the movie industry, it deprives not only those ethnic minorities of the representation they deserve and have the right to ask, but all of us.
And the MCU, Disney, is one of the biggest film producer of this modern world. They could do representation. They could have casted a Romani actress. They simply choose not to and ignore whoever is not okay with it.
The video explain really well what anon is trying to say.

I got angry. And bored. So I edited.
.
Because we all deserve the same treatment, and what said that post that I can't find was true: the only reason all the other LI weren't there was because of a lazy writing.
So yes, enjoy Bryce. I miss him every week.
(and another outfit because the purple one was just... UGH)
