#went to max’s blog and there’s a wall of o-k

[perdvivly]

The all consuming ideological drive to be a moron online is probably not healthy.

#could say more but I think this stands on its own #went to max’s blog and there’s a wall of o-k #which is on me because I went to a blog that isn’t on my dash and immediately got confronted with the reason it’s not on my dash #but I think this case is clear cut enough #o-k exists in the same space as a classic internet troll - either genuinely incapable or pretending not to understand any nuance #presumably in order to bait their interlocutors into not conceding points that they otherwise might and looking silly for not #I think anyone who exists primarily to polarise is not worth engaging with - it won’t help your thinking and it won’t change theirs #but the good news is that still leaves a whole bunch of really incredible people who are worth engaging and will engage with good faith #a bunch on this site even!!

This is so impractical 6: they just showed her from the back and she does not have wings lmao 7: is this person she has weird chemistry with supposed to be fang?! Uh sorry not nearly emo enough 8: well at least nudge is black 10: gazzy is a better actor than all of them combined lmao 11: oh good max is threatening children already 12: wow how are her eyebrows a) brown and b) perfect 14: where tf did nudge get a sewing machine?? 17: OH MY GOD the cgi wings are SO BAD. Like they got the birdemic people to work on them. This is gold 18: ok wait her roots are dark so she dyed her hair platinum blonde?! Where did she find this magical hair dye??? 21: [gets kicked in face] [no blood anywhere] 22: "I remember us driving over sand." Wow yeah the only place on earth with sand is Death Valley !!! 28: ok alright iggy grabs nudge and gazzy and exits the house before ari even moves. Aright 32: ok this flying montage went on for about 10x too long 34: [lands in a city after living in the wilderness and flying for a whole day] "it's so quiet here!" 37: oh look! A tiny smear of blood! Definitely proportional to getting shot! 38: "stay with me!" [dabs at wound with cotton ball] 40: oh my god stop the mom monologue and just help her jfc 44: oh my god wait so are the wings supposed to come out of her body?? Like they're stored inside her skin???? 45: YUP THATS EXACTLY WHATS HAPPENING WHAT THE FUCK 46: I love how in the book she's always referencing her windbreaker and in the movie they're not dressed for temps under 75 degrees 1:00: has angel said one word this entire movie ?? 1:02: iiiiit's Jeb! Absolutely nobody is surprised! 1:04: "warm? cold? Room temperature?" Wow a+ dialogue there 1:06: "there's only success...or failure." Um, scientifically speaking, no 1:06: yeah sorry u never outgrow chocolate chip cookies 1:11: wtf are all these graphs on this lady's Evil Scientist Skype 1:12: ari hasn't noticed his key card is missing by now? O...k 1:13: ah yes back to the slow-motion bloodless punching 1:14: ah yes how convenient, the entire power grid shuts down but there's just enough emergency light to mix some chemicals 1:14: at least gazzy is following proper lab safety ? 1:17: that very localized 5-ft bomb blew a hole right thru the wall?! Ok 1:17: ohhhh I keep forgetting how bad the wings are 1:19: out of wine with 8 minutes left, idk if I can finish ..... 1:20: Jesus Christ just kiss already 1:21: this feels like they're setting it up for a sequel, please dear god no Conclusion: Jenna marbles executive-produced this movie and that's the most positive thing I can say about it. Glad I had wine.
