Also Tony Stark: *Tells cap to make the call, makes his teammates weapons and upgrades their equipment, invites said teammates to move in with him, worst fear is his teammates dying because he couldn’t do anything to stop it*
People: Tony Stark is so selfish and only cares about himself.
Tony Stark: I already told you I don’t want to join your supersecret boy band
Also Tony Stark: *let’s the boy band live in his home* *makes healthy drinks to deliver to the boy band* *does everything in his power to stop the boy band from breaking up until he is exhausted and at breaking point* *immediately goes after a member of the boy band in order to help him even though they were fighting it out a few days ago* *is so Highkey devoted to the boy band that watching them break up pretty much kills him*
People: Tony is the one who is most problematic on the team and the reason that they split up
Kylo Ren really is a great example for how sci fi/fantasy writers should tailor their worlds to fit the times, so it could resonate with the actual audience reading them. There would be no point in making a Hitler villain anymore, because we’re not afraid of Hitler, we’re afraid of the 25-year-old malcontented white boy who fondles Hitler memorabilia while sulking in his room.
Somebody pointed out to me that the First Order aren’t coded as Nazis, they’re coded as neo-Nazis, which is worse, because these are people who looked at horrific historical atrocities with the benefit of hindsight and went, ‘Yes, that’s exactly what we should do again, but this time more’
People complaining that Starkiller Base is a rip-off of the Death Star and that Kylo Ren is a whiny emo fanboy don’t realize that this is exactly the point
I’m a fucking sucker for “gentle giant” characters like theres nothing better than seeing a character who could crush you but is also a fucking sweatheart
“The staging… its… its like they got in a time machine and went back to 1978. It is an instant eurovision classic. Its… its… its like a bunch of childrens television presenters got overexcited at their christmas party. Its… just… just sit back and enjoy”
– Graham Norton, actually lost for words trying to summarise Moldova
I hate that I cry when I’m frustrated. Like you haven’t won. You haven’t hurt my feelings. I’m just so fed up with your bullshit that my body needs to have a physical release or my head will explode.
