Madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin. Every time a Targaryen is born, the gods toss a coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will land.
Jurassic World did the Avatar thing where it made a gajillion dollars and left no cultural footprint whatsoever. Name your favorite Jurassic World character. What was your favorite line. It evaporated despite everyone seeing it.
Within the narrative of Captain America: The Winter Soldier Steve telling Bucky "then finish it, cause I'm with you 'til the end of the line" functions as true love's kiss in breaking the 'spell' of the Winter Soldier conditioning and freeing Bucky from Hydra.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT IT'S KIND OF HARD TO FIND SOMEONE WITH SHARED LIFE EXPERIENCE ISTG THIS LINE KILLS ME BECAUSE WHAT WAS THE REASON TO PUT IT IN THE FILM???? HAVE STEVE REJECT EVERY SINGLE (FEMALE) INTEREST NATASHA SUGGESTED?? PEGGY SAYING IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON????

In one of these universes, mobius is riding his jet ski, stucky is canon, thanos and his saggy nuts looking chin don’t exist so endgame pretty much never happened, and what else could i possibly add to this ongoing list
One thing I really appreciate about Into the Spider-Verse that I don’t see people talk about very often is how competent they portray Peter B as.
Like, in any other movie, you’d have a similar character whose live has become a mess, and they’re sad and kinda pathetic to look at, and when the time comes for them to step up, they just sorta…flop. They’re held back by everything, and they just become incompetent.
But Peter B is different. Yeah, he’s a sad, lonely, middle-aged man who cries in the shower while wearing a spandex suit…
But despite all that…he’s still shown to be extremely good at being Spider-Man.
He escapes from being tied up while still holding a casual conversation
He takes down Miles in less than 10 seconds.
He strolls along the side of a building like it’s nothing.
And when you think about it, over the course of the movie, he kicks a LOT of ass. He’s a badass super hero, despite his flaws.
You ever notice how, when he puts on the mask, his gut sorta disappears? That’s too big of a detail to be an oversight. That’s intentional. I mean, in-universe, it doesn’t make too much sense, but to us, it’s meant to show that it’s not holding him back from being a hero.
He’s not held down by everything. Yeah, he’s a jaded, depressed, mid-life crisis Spider-Man. But he’s still Spider-Man.
They easily could’ve made Peter B sort of pathetic and had him be more of a hinderance than a help during battles. But they didn’t. And I feel like that was a really good way to pay respect to the character while still showing that he’s a heavily flawed individual.
