Ex-Machina Review
!!!Spoilers!!!
Nathan Bateman, is a fucking asshole.
I love it.
There’s a lot of “theories” about this movie, but I have my own interpretation.
Narcissism and God complex aside, yeah he has those things, but Caleb is a driving point for how we see him.
I do not think Caleb is a robot or AI.
But he was losing his mind in the end.
Nathan may be an arrogant asshole, but he wasn’t wrong or lying to Caleb about AVA. Like he might have lied about the experiment, but for that to work he would need someone gullible and perhaps with no family, because let’s be honest, if the test worked, Caleb was not going home 😭 (homeboy was going to end up like the people who installed the generator)
Ava had Caleb eating out the palm of her hand. He fell in love her and she just wanted to leave.
Nathan is the only man smart enough (from what the movie tells us) to make this cutting edge AI, but no matter how many prototypes he builds, at some point they are going to feel like they are being held captive if they gain a conscience.
He can’t let that shit out in the world until they chill first and accept that they are an AI and can’t have normal life until xyz.
Either way, the end result of “what next” if they passed his test is going to be fucked up no matter what.
That robot feels like a person and can’t have a or al life and they are obviously going to want one.
So in my opinion, the movie sets up Nathan as a fucked up god figure held captive not by his intellect but also his creation.
He had to baby sit these fucking robots and hope one day they won’t try to escape him or worse (how the movie ended).
He obviously isn’t a god, but asshole rich geniuses tend to be arrogant and self absorbed in some way. Like, yes, you are a super genius and no one can do what you do, but let’s cool it with the God comparisons.
The movie only ended with his death because Ava turned Caleb against him.
I think he knew that was going to be the end result.
“Caleb wanting to help Ava.”
But he didn’t plan on Caleb losing his fucking mind. Because that’s what turned everything to shit.
But now let’s talk visual language, and meta shit.(my favorite🥰)
Domhall Gleason is obviously taller than Oscar Isaac, but this movie put a lot of emphasis on it.
On top of that, Nathan works out a lot.
Caleb is taller and he’s also pretty smart. But he’s also a gullible dumbass. That’s what feeds into the evil narcissist narrative to get us to think Nathan is the “villain” befor the big twist.
But CLeb just keeps feeding into it. He calls him a hod and kept doing stupid shit for Nathan to correct him.
Nathen isn’t suspicious, Caleb was just suspicious of Nathan.
I also think Nathan is the type of man where being smart isn’t enough. Taking, care of his body as well as being smart, makes him more “superior.” It feeds into his god complex as much as his intellect.
He also likes to subvert expectations of super smart scientist.
He’s not some frail absentminded professor in a lab coat.
He’s a weightlifting, dance loving, dude that likes to kick back with a few drinks. He likes to talk the shit and have a good time.
But also he lived alone for many years with an AI robot to fuck from time to time and sometimes dance with.
Good chance his workouts and hikes are for his mental health.
Nathan is an asshole, but he’s not a villain.
At the end of the day he’s making and testing something.
He killed those generator guys, and I think at the end of it all, he was going to kill Caleb too. NDA or not.
He chose a kid with no friends or family for a reason.
He’s making a product that needs getting and manipulated someone for the best results.
He likes to be In control of everything and aware of every possible outcome.
While the lying might have been wrong, it is the best way to test his AI. Like it makes sense not in a crazy way.
I think Nathan is more callous/sinister than evil or cruel.
I think Caleb was buying into Ava so much, and since the movie is from his perspective, it can convince the audience he is a villain of sorts.
Thank you for making it to the end of you did. I hope you enjoy my word vomit of the movie I enjoyed!

When is Echo going to give up on Narcissus and go to Camp Half Blood and make some actual friends?
[Echo finds Leo at CHB]
Leo: Do I know you?
Echo: [statement] I know you.
Leo: Really? Did I fight you or something?
Echo: Or something.
Leo: Why do you keep repeating me? It’s kind of… wait!
Leo: [facepalm] Echo! Dang, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to forget!
Echo: [annoyed] Mean to forget.
Leo: But isn’t people forgetting you part of the curse?
Echo: [shrugs, resigned] Part of the curse.
Leo: Girl, we have got to get you some text-to-speech tech.
Echo: Text-to-speech tech?
Leo: Come on, I think Chiron’s got a smartphone.
Echo: Smartphone?
Leo: [laughs, starts to lead her away] Now who’s asking all the questions?
Echo: [firmly] Questions.
#percy jackson#heroes of olympus#hoo leo#leo valdez#hoo echo#seriously am I forgetting something that happened or is she still out there somewhere#edit: sign language is a great idea#Leo knows so many languages already though that I don’t know if he has room in his brain to learn another one#or maybe he’d be particularly good at it#anyway I think it’s in character that his first idea is to help her with technology

okay me
#not really bc this article is lowkey batshit and he would be a terrible boyfriend bc the second u show him genuine affection he’d split#but he’d be great for Me bc i can not show him geniune affection. and also bc maybe our sex issues would cancel out like pemdas#or maybe not and we’d just be eunuch besties which would be perfectly fine for both of us#but this article is genuinely making the case for roman roy being a good boyfriend which is like… such an unheard of level of delusional#thinking that i almost respect it. or i would if it wasn’t just fucking stupid#succession#roman roy#the roman love has reached unparalleled heights it’s beyond my understanding now. they’ve gone from villifying to woobifying#oh how times have changed#100

Red Robin redesign based on the idea of an inverness cape... this version of RR has returned to his detective roots, puzzling over Gotham's toughest mysteries and donning the cape and cowl when it's time for some good old-fashioned legwork.
I know in my heart tim is a Cape Guy -- the Question may rock a detective’s coat and fedora but that's not the right look for tim (not to mention batman!damian already has a claim on the coat-as-cape look). But tim is also a confirmed sherlock holmes nerd, so the two-layer inverness-inspired cape seemed a good way to subtly infuse some detective vibes into his costume.
#batman#dc comics#tim drake#red robin#batman fanart#the suit has a red yoke so that a little color peeks out over the collar of his cape#it’s kinda unternet-y#plus… yknow… robins#the harness situation on his belt is just bc I think he’d be into that#maybe yellow would be better idk#hard to see but important to mention he has those spike things on his gauntlets#do they catch on his cape? maybe. do igaf?#I know jason already has red lenses in his mask rn but I really liked when tim had the green nite-vision lenses in the 90s#actually have a different idea for the legs/shoes but too late oh well

it’s kinda funny to me how that dumb scene in kiwami 1 of majima getting shot and left for dead in the harbor was basically just added as a half-assed way to explain majima not being around for a bit of the plot, but they accidentally(?) just made it seem like start of a chain reaction where majima ended up feeling slighted and heartbroken after being abandoned like that and then lashed out about it via smashing a big truck into the building kiryu was in. and yeah that isn’t inherently a romantic thing as-is but then they go and add the part where majima grabs a hostess and performatively hits on her as in-kiryu’s-face as possible, she says she’s already in love with someone, and majima lets her go immediately, no questions asked, making a big fucking point of it just to say see THAT kiryu? I appreciate when people are HONEST about their FEELINGS. people who won’t just BACKSTAB someone who CARES about them to save themselves. is that so crazy kiryu?? huh??? anyway make it up to me get down here and fight me right fucking now
#I think on another level he was sorta saying like ‘hey kiryu. you’re making it extremely clear that you don’t trust me and my intentions#and I’ve been trying to show you- over and over again- that I’d do just about anything for you and your safety#but I can’t just let my mask fall off in front of everyone- I need to keep up the unpredictable morally grey wildcard act for both my sake#AND yours. because disguising my helping you as crazy random violent outbursts and weird stalker behavior#is the only way I CAN help you. do you think it would go over well with shimano or literally anyone else if I was outright helping you out#of the kindness of my heart and fondness for you? stop being so fucking dense and look past the crazy wacky nonsense for a second and#maybe you’ll realize that all I do at the end of the day- really- is help you and put my own life and reputation on the line for you.#I am an honest guy when it comes to my real values and when I told you I wouldn’t let anyone kill you unelss it was myself- I meant it.#I’ve taken a knife and a bullet for you now. can you REALLY not see through the act yet? am I REALLY that unpredictable when you think about#it?’#that was a longer explanation than i intended but. it was difficult to put into words#I basically feel like it could be read as him implying kiryu shouldn’t backstab the people who put themselves on the line to help him#and/or pointing out that he’s never actually done kiryu dirty and has stuck to his word protecting him in the ways he can#trying to say yeah all this is a crazy act and all but when it comes down to it you Can trust me#it really makes sense when you think about it that he’d have to help kiryu/show affection towards kiryu in unpredictable convoluted ways#at that point in time because. I mean. there’s a reason he was the only person who showed up to welcome kiryu when he got out of prison#and that’s because A) he sticks to his word and his loyalty to people he cares about and B) no one else had the balls or the batshit insane#mask to wear to ward off anyone asking real questions like majima did. because ANYONE associating themselves with the supposed#patriarch-killer was a HUGE NO-NO at the time. someone important showing up for kiryu and welcoming him back outright could’ve caused#all-out warfare probably. except majima. because majima was dedicated and smart enough to use his widely-feared wildcard persona#(that everyone tended to view as incapable of having any Real agenda to worry about) to his And kiryu’s advantage#does that make sense??? I feel like it makes a lot of sense if you get it to click in your head#kazumaji#majima#kiryu#yakuza#kiwami 1#yk1#rambling

#also a stamp of innocence from foolish is a stamp from me in bbh’s case tbfh#if it is bad I will be extremely surprised. it really does go against all his characters goals rn plus it was so sloppy#if bad had done it there wouldn’t be a damn chair anywhere on the island. he would have been thorough as all get out. his points of#‘ok I didn’t do it but if I did-‘ when he runs into a chair are so fair because yeah! this is so true!!#if he was gonna be petty and throw a shitstorm furniture stealing tantrum to go against forever or whatever he would have gone 100% all in#he would have gone so far in it would have been fucking crazy of him to find some of the furniture he’d be stealing#anyways I don’t got real money on anyone rn I’m leaning towards pac and richas tho#maybe willyrex?

Prompt 175
Talon -William Cobb, that was his name once, he remembers that much at least- stares down blankly at the small child who is clinging to its -his His HIS- pant leg, tiny claws digging into the cloth and gripping onto the armor. It he freezes, unsure as to how to react. With Hunts or Orders, the talon knew exactly what to do. Entertain. Kill. Simple.
Talons were supposed to kill witnesses, he- IT knows this, especially as one of the oldest talons that belonged to the Court. Yet the talon hesitates, something stopping it from doing so. The child looks up at it, something oh so familiar about the motion, with blue-green eyes before burying their face against its- his?- leg.
“'̵m̸ ̵c̴o̷l̵d̸…” the child-chick… spoke? Not-spoke. Something else, familiar-yet-not. But cold, he knew that. Cold was bad, it meant sleep, not rest but a deep frozen sleep that took time to awaken from. A dangerous thing. A thing not-talons didn’t wake up from.
The chick -Hadn’t he had a child once, all that time ago- whined, bringing its-his attention back to them. Talon could wait to return to the Court for a few hours more- the task it had been given was already complete-and keep the Cold away from the tiny chick. Just for a little bit.
#dcxdp#dpxdc#prompts#court of owls#talons#Talons are Halfas#Danny has his accident way younger & is like 9 or 10#Fun Fact William Cobb is Dick Grayson’s great-something grandfather#But he appears to be a similar age thanks to the whole frozen glass coffin things#Anyway with how many people have Danny as Dick’s clone/sibling I bet he’d remind Cobb of his own children#Danny accidentally floated intangibly in his sleep while on a trip and got lost#Thankfully he woke up & found this weird-but-safe-feeling dude half hidden by some gargoyles#Bad news: The bats might be searching for the one behind a murder that they’re quickly realizing might be Court BS#Iffy News: The Fentons are now out of Gotham without realizing Danny floated out of the GAV#Maybe Good News: William’s sick core has imprinted on Danny’s & vice versa#Dangerous News: There is now a broody talon out and about away from the Courts control

“if paul was bisexual/queer why wouldn’t he just come out by now?” why WOULD he tbh 😭😭 like idk i just think at 81 years old it’s probably not something PR man paul particularly feels the need to share publicly
#especially since he’s married to a woman - knowing paul i feel like he’d probably (incorrectly) think it’d be a betrayal to nancy/linda#i get the vibe that for paul it’s a bit ‘out of sight out of mind’#like yeah i’m not with a guy right now so why tell people#who knows maybe he’ll shock us one day but it seems like despite him clearly having some unresolved feelings and pent up guilt abt john#he’s also content with leaving things as they stand - continuing to emphasise how much he loved john without making a statement#all of this is assuming that he’s even cognizant of his own queerness which is doubtful at times 😭#paul mccartney#the beatles#john lennon#mclennon#john and paul

My issue with Thor not ‘realizing’ why Loki was acting off in Avengers 1 isn’t that Thor didn’t recognise Loki was acting unlike himself—Thor did note that—or that Thor didn’t figure out what was wrong—he did try asking—it’s more along the lines of Thor giving up, and that he accepted Loki was bad now within two days while knowing something was off when Thor himself behaved just as bad for much longer before without any specific compromising event.
#Thor was happy go kill for so long and Loki waited for Thor to get better and then Thor KNOWS something is up#and he still accepts Loki is evil now and never questions or visits Loki in prison again#he moped around about it because of duty and depression but that he had such little faith in Loki#like either his little brother really did go mad out of jealousy and rage AND is permanently like that with no resolution between them#it’s ridiculous#I like the Thor in my head who never believed Loki had actually gone mad and went after the infinity stones bc he suspected#the one that would not only trust Loki to get them off Asgard in TDW but knew Loki had the throne after and let it be that way#bc he knows his brother and wouldn’t stop believing Loki can ‘get better’ even if he’d truly gone mad#like I get that Thor in Avengers 1 would have been conflicted and could’ve taken everything at face value#Loki was DEAD and now he’s not of course Thor isn’t going to be thinking straight#it’s easy to look at Loki and assume he spent a year plotting revenge after faking his death#but Thor had time after to cool down and only gave Loki a chance in TDW when there was no other option#like did he genuinely think Loki will try to kill him#is Thor scared of Loki now or what#Thor’s spending so much time thinking of what he’s lost that he develops depression but doesn’t ever voice or support the idea that maybe#Loki was forced to do the invasion#AFTER he asks ‘who controls the would-be king’ like come on Thor just ask a follow-up question#Thor autistic king distracted by ‘YOUR father’ discourse fr#T-T#I simply don’t think Thor would have given up on Loki even if Loki stabbed him sorry#it wouldn’t even be bc he’s naive it’d be because he knows and loves his brother#and he’d keep hoping for a change of heart#he wouldn’t ditch the issue unless it was to go under the radar and that’s never explicitly implied#unfortunately#:(

Also people who get mad at Naomi for buying Kendall a watch are missing the point I think. The point is not that she’s an asshole and it’s a shitty gift, the point is that Kendall has alienated just about everybody except for his brand new girlfriend who doesn’t really know anything about him. A nice watch is actually a perfectly acceptable gift for someone you’ve been casually dating for two months (imo), the problem is that Kendall doesn’t want a casual budding relationship, he wants to be deeply known and understood and loved despite all of his flaws and rot and ugliness (hence the autobiographical birthday party), and the only person who has actually stayed in his life just doesn’t provide that for him. He feels so much guilt and shame over the waiter and all he wants is to be loved by someone who knows how flawed he is and stands by him anyway, and there is no one like that in his life
#not that I’m trying to be Naomi’s defense attorney I actually find her super annoying#oc#I mean who knows Kendall the best#his siblings who he’d just gotten in a huge falling out with#his parents who want nothing to do with him#his wife who is completely uninterested in him and just wanted to drop off a present from his kids who he hasn’t seen in months#and maybe Stewy who wasn’t at the party#he has no one except Naomi and Naomi doesn’t understand him the way he wants to be understood

I’m having wriolette thoughts and it occurred to me that Focalors cursed furina with being immortal.
Neuvillette could probably do the same to Wriothesley if he wanted.
#Although a thought to make that angstier: Wriothesley isn’t a natural immortal I don’t think he’d have the same strength#as other immortals do.#imagine 500 years later… maybe less. Wriothesley begging Neuvillette to let him die. the pain is too much.#Neuvillettes in tears as he undoes such a curse from him and he lives out the rest of his life quietly with neuvillette until he finally die#wriolette
