i think that people should start using “in poor taste” as a descriptor again given it is often the most applicable and clearest phrase when discoursing about media and analysis; sometimes a piece of art isn’t actually THE most problematic thing of all time is is. just in poor taste (not JUST in poor taste as a reductive take on potential harm but/and as in regardless of intent the impact is this was an offensive or stupid take/choice)

Steve Rogers is not afraid of strong women.
Steve Rogers is not afraid of strong women.
Stop it with the fic where Steve is terrified of Natasha, or Maria, or Pepper, or guh, Darcy. I guess people think it’s cute, or whatever.
Seriously. Strong women don’t make Steve scared, they make him swoon.
The only thing Steve is afraid of is that strong women won’t like him.

One part I really liked in The Marvels was after Carol snaps at Kamala during battle she apologies?? And says “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have spoken to you that way”?? Like she understands that Kamala is young and looks up to her, and considers that her being harsh could hurt her confidence?? Tony Stark would never I’m just saying

Thanks for the tag! (No worries, I have the day off today 😂)
Last Song: Not sure but probably something from Freya Ridings. I'm super crazy about her lately. If you haven't yet, check 'Blood Orange' and 'Dancing in a Hurricane'. Love those two!
Favourite Colour: Dark red
Currently watching: Nothing. I don't have the time or the energy.
Sweet/Savory/Spicy: Sweet, baby
Currently playing: Haven't touched a videogame since high school. Back in the 90's it was Tomb Raider and a bunch of racing cars. And Crash Bandicoot or something like that? (was it a fox? it's been a while lol)
Relationship status: Super single
Current obsession: This is going to sound lame but I don't care... I'm obsessed with my Bluetooth earbuds. I bought them a couple weeks ago or so and holy shit, they're a godsend for when I go to the office in the subway. (Why the hell are so many people these days listening to music/Tiktok videos WITHOUT earbuds/headphones? It's so damn annoying, especially early in the mornings when the train is entirely silent and these idiots are listening to their stuff... and it is LOUD)
Last thing I googled: An edit PDF site.
Open tags!
Someone You Want to Know Better
Thanks for the tag @mothboypoison I love tag games so don't feel bad about tagging me in them!
last song: Masterpiece by Motionless in White
favorite color: Blue. Specifically a cyan blue.
currently watching: Rewatching 3rd Rock from the Sun
sweet/savory/spicy: Ooh, hard choice... I like to drink my sweet and I eat more savory than spicy. But I do like spicy.
relationship status: Taken by two handsome, sweet, and lovable guys~ <3 Dating every fictional man I ever met in my head.
current obsession: Jujutsu Kaisen is very strong in my interests right now, but I have also drawn 4 full pages of doodles about that fuckin Pal, lmao. I think it's safe to say Bushi is my obsession right now.
last thing you googled: A list of DDR songs. Which led to me finding Stepmania and a site that sells dance pads and now I really want a dance pad because I miss playing DDR.
I shall tag @tsunderesalty and @tsukimefuku but absolutely don't do it if you don't want to.

The scene they took out of Deadpool that actually makes the whole movie make sense
I’m going to explain why one scene that they chose to remove actually puts the whole movie in perspective and answers a lot of questions fans had about the final cut.
Obviously this is definitely going to spoil you and I can list about 100 different trigger warnings so unless you have seen the movie and are prepared to deal with the same themes, don’t read on.
Cancer World Tour
We see in what makes the final cut of the film that Vanessa is desperate to find a cure for Wade’s cancer and in the edited scene called “Cancer World Tour” she does just as he predicts, drags him around the world trying every cure.
As always Wade narrates the scene so he informs us that they have been all of the world and have already tried everything and now they were at rock bottom, in a very unlikely clinic in Guadalajara Mexico.
Wade has given up long ago but is keeping that to himself, spending the rest of his very short life indulging Vanessa in the fantasy that he can be cured.
He is in a waiting room bitterly observing the other hopeless patients indulging their own love ones, or perhaps even themselves, and he visibly has a hard time keeping his anger and sadness to himself.
Wade listens in as a mother tries to pay for her young son’s treatment and the nurse very coldly insists she won’t take any pesos, everything has to be in American cash. The little boy reaches for a sucker and the nurse says it will cost extra. Wade quickly puts his own cash on the desk, saying it’s on him.
Something is still bothering him. Wade watches the young boy sit as an older gentleman Wade himself was talking to earlier gets up to go in for his own appointment. Wade tells us in a voice over how he is at the end of his rope. He will indulge Vanessa, he will spend all the money that is needed to do so, but he can’t watch more of these innocent people being screwed over.
Wade sneaks into the operating room to observe that what is going on is that this miracle cure is not a miracle nor a cure. I don’t know exactly how much a layperson may understand this particular treatment by what they filmed so I’m going to explain in a bit more detail: this is an actual treatment that is offered for a great amount of money and the practitioner promises that they will remove your cancer without putting you under anesthesia or even cutting you open; they will somehow reach in and pull it out of you. The stomach is pressed upon by the practitioner and with sleight-of-hand they produced a bit of animal organ, presenting it as the removed cancer. There is a bit of blood but no incision, they claim to have healed that as well.
Wade waits secretly as the the older gentleman, relieved to have been cured, leaves the room and then he enters to confront the practitioner. Wade dryly remarks that the bucket of removed tumors smells like chicken, the practitioner reaches for a scalpel to defend himself, Wade has already taken it.
Wade loses it. He viciously beats and stabs the man. No fancy choreography, no clever banter. Wade gruesomely murders this man with his own two hands and blood is everywhere. The staff and waiting room rush in to see what is happened and Vanessa is among them.
Wade, in excruciating emotional pain, realizes what has happened. Vanessa is watching. This wasn’t a job and it wasn’t done efficiently. He isn’t being a mercenary, he’s being a murderer, is becoming what we will call Deadpool.
Fleeing, Wade runs away and leaves Vanessa to desperately scream in search for him to no avail. He is gone.
I don’t know why this scene wouldn’t of been included in the final cut. To me it solves a lot of issues that people have had with the characterization of both Wade and Vanessa.
Many reviewers asked why, despite the fact that Wade obviously was upset and beginning to show signs of mental illness, he couldn’t just go back to Vanessa and let her see his scars. She certainly didn’t come off as the type of character who would judge him for the way he looked but that wasn’t it. Wade is reluctant to show her what he looks like now, of course, but most of the reluctance comes from the fact that she has already seen a little bit of what he has become inside and that’s a completely different story. Vanessa fell in love with a different man, a man who killed people but wasn’t violent, wasn’t unhinged.
Maybe more importantly it gives the ending an entirely different tone. It’s not the happy ending it appears. Vanessa forgives Wade and despite his warning she is in Deadpool’s arms, not really understanding that Wade is gone. Deadpool very canonically gives into the bit of hope that it might be okay, someone might actually love him.
But what happens next? Vanessa is now going to meet Deadpool and realize that she has to again mourn the loss of Wade who she believes has come back from the dead. Will she love this new man? Should she? Is she safe to be with him?
Your feelings for Deadpool aside, try to imagine what Vanessa is walking into. Wade would never hurt her but Deadpool is not Wade and sometimes Deadpool is not even Deadpool. Sometimes this body is overtaken with pain and hallucinations. If Wade can viciously beat and stab a man to death when he disassociates, what does Deadpool do when he disassociates?
Deadpool doesn’t know.

I miss old thor so much old thor was just such a breath of fresh air. he wasn’t the stereotypical snarky hero. he wasn’t blasé or indifferent or cool. he was a stubborn cocky moody alien prince with a shakespearean accent who was groomed to be king. who loved his family and his friends. he was caring and genuine and a bit boisterous n brash. he thought you could ride a dog into battle, and loved to party. he was quick to anger, but quick to laugh. when he broke a mug on a foreign planet and learned it wasn’t polite, he went out of his way to buy the shop owner a new one and apologized. he even asked if it was ok if he came back for more coffee bc he did not want to presume that he was forgiven. he wasn’t edgy or witty but he was kind and thoughtful. he was a little feral a little wild as thunder and lightning coursed through his blood. and I loved that thor – bleached eyebrows and all.
#this made me emotional#Thor honey what have they done to you...#I miss him. Thor 1 and TDW Thor was AWESOME

Imagine that the Ancient One really kicked Strange out of Kamar-taj, maybe for a couple of months, to test his sense of purpose, maybe forever, looking through her doubles into other worlds of the Multiverse, where the Stranges destroyed their universes... Without money, without hope, he was trying to survive, lost on the streets of Kathmandu. And only one faithful friend warmed him on cold nights and protected him from attackers.

I don't know the context of that scene but that man is surrendering. It makes perfect sense that if a criminal is not actively a threat, Steve would rather jail him than execute him. This is Steve Rogers we're talking about, not the Illuminati. He did the same thing in AoU with Struker.
All this "Steve is unreasonable" talk comes from the belief that the Accords were fair and all about accountability, that's where they're wrong. They never were.

Let’s talk about Bucky Barnes and Prisoners of War
I’ve seen a lot of people saying Bucky was guilty, Bucky should be thrown in prison, Bucky had no right to be “coddled” because of what he did. So, as a former USAF Staff Sergeant who is fiercely protective of those who served and gave so much for their country, I want to talk to you about POWs. Now I’m not great at these meta things, so bear with me, ok?
Let me begin by saying in America, Prisoners of War are not blamed for the things they were forced to do as prisoners. (Take this with a grain of salt, of course. I’m sure there’s a limit for everything, but for the intent of this post, that statement is relevant.) In our country, we understand that brainwashing and coercion happens and stuff that people may be forced to do is done under duress.
When a person is taken as a Prisoner of War, they’re generally taken for a reason. Let’s look at how the Taliban/Al Qaeda like to take prisoners if only to behead them on live television. It’s demoralizing for the citizens of that prisoner’s country and uplifting for the terrorist bastards who enjoy that kind of shit. It’s all about hurting the enemy so the other guy can get further ahead, right? Right.
So let’s talk about what we know of Bucky’s time with HYDRA.
The first time Bucky had opened his eyes after falling from the train, he was being dragged through the snow, his arm in pieces. The next thing he remembers is having the arm cut off and replaced with a metal one. You will be the new fist of HYDRA. Already, they were remaking him. He lashed out, got violent because that wasn’t who he was. Bucky was loyal to America and loyal to Steve’s purpose.
How many times did they wipe his brain? They wiped his brain of all his memories including his very identity and reprogrammed him to be the loyal soldier they needed him to be. And correct me if I’m wrong, but they knew exactly who Bucky was. He was Captain America’s right hand man. If you don’t think that made him all the more gleeful over using him to tear the world down so HYDRA could build it back up in their image.
So they wiped his brain, put in new programming, wham bam, you’ve got yourself a soldier. But there was more than that. There was the actual brainwashing. That’s different, actually. The brainwashing is doing stuff like telling a man that his work helped to shape a century, that he was making the world a better place, that his work was important. It’s being gentle and kind to that soldier, making them feel like what they’re doing is good and right even when there’s something in their chest that tells them it’s not. It’s seventy years of being used for one purpose and put on ice or wiped all over again when that purpose was finished.
Let’s think about those people who are saying Steve coddled Bucky. Steve saw his best friend who he’d thought dead as a man who didn’t even remember him when their lives had been so entwined, when their worlds had practically revolved around one another so long ago. Bucky didn’t remember him. Bucky had tried to kill him. That was not Bucky. But Bucky was in there, and Steve was going to do whatever he had to do to make sure the innocent man who had been tortured and wiped and brainwashed got a chance to live.
Isn’t it time Bucky Barnes has a chance to live the kind of life and enjoy the freedoms that all those other men who’d made it out of the war had lived?
Stop blaming Bucky- a veteran, a POW, a hero- for what he was forced to do. You all wanna talk about victim shaming? That is victim shaming.
#the first time I interacted with the fandom I was shocked#I arrived late - in 2015 - so I missed all the meta at the time of TWS#but what I didn't understand was... how can you claim he's bad when you've literally heard Pierce tell him he's going to FREE the world?#if he was bad he would have told him he was about to ruin everybody or commit atrocities or become a terrorist etc#you don't tell a bad guy ''hey you're gonna help so many good people and you're going to free them and they'll be happier''#because the bad guy then would say ''that is exactly the opposite of what I want''#and Pierce's words are so obvious in TWS that... I just don't get the victim blaming on Bucky#I really don't
