*kicks down the door and storms back in*

OH, AND ANOTHER THING:

Jono’s powers are weird. Like, really weird. I get that. 

BUT.

IT’S ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED IN CANON THAT HE CAN LIVE WITHOUT THEM.

Don’t ask me how, exactly, as I thought it was bullshit then because his powers are literally all that’s keeping him alive. 

But he did. He survived losing them. And it wasn’t a timing thing, I don’t think, since somehow, Scott or someone had time to put him into some kind of containment field or something. idk. But that had to take more time than what he got in Uncanny last week.

So by the rules of his powers that have already been put into place, he’s not going to be in great shape or anything without his powers, but he’ll stay alive. Inexplicably. 

Once more, with feeling: 

FUCK YOU FOREVER, MARVEL.

ayyy welcome to the club of chatacters in the new uncanny run that were totally out of character and then killed off unnecessarily for cyclops and wolverine man pain : )

it’s v. appropriate that jono’s last words would be saying fuck you to someone. that they’re aimed at scott makes me especially happy. so at least i’ll always have that.

i’m more angry about how it was done. jono’s one of those characters who looks like a badass, talks like a badass, and won’t hesitate to fuck someone up, but he’s a cinnamon roll deep down. a burnt one, but still a cinnamon roll. the only way i can possibly see him voluntarily killing someone would be if it was to proactively save someone else, and even then it would be a last resort thing. 

or it would be because he flew of the handle and just didn’t think. when he tried to blow up legion back in the xml run, he wasn’t thinking. i don’t even think he meant for the blast to be deadly. he was just pissed and lashing out after legion attacked all of them. he felt guilty as hell afterward, not least of all because a couple kids were almost killed in the process. so that’s another possibility, i suppose. 

but it wouldn’t be premeditated. and he for damn sure wouldn’t argue the merits of murder in the aftermath.

[oh ffs. I’m sorry : / ]

*weary sigh*

If nothing else, Marvel slaughtering all my faves this month in every medium just means I can ignore them entirely in favor of fanfic and fan art by people who care, so it’s all good. 

...well, except jono. I think it might just be me. lol

rdj kissing josh brolin on the lips is such a power move. the man doesn’t give a single fuck. he’s the male protagonist archetype of this century but he will kiss as many guys as he pleases because he can and there’s nothing hollywood can do about it

i love how the media has rdj as this manly hetero Man Of Iron™ but he lives on a diferent dimension where sexuality is whatever the fuck he wants it to be. he will kiss man and women as he pleases. he will dress in pink and yellow and not give a single fuck.

MIRA–

Y SU FAVORITO–

And even on film, in the behind-the-scenes footage RDJ posted of the reunion scene (behind the cut for those who still haven’t seen Endgame somehow)...

Sure, it’s completely paternal and just meant to be sweet and touching (and it is because omg, the whole scene in context...tears, y’all), but guess what didn’t make the final cut? I suspect it’s because the fragile-ass men folk were already throwing a fit about all the women in the movie (no, really) and didn’t want to send them completely off the edge. I have no proof of this, but let’s be real.

#unwrapped #[i've been in a tony mood lately sue me] #[seriously tho. in basically every interview i've ever seen rdj just seems the type to be very outwardly affectionate] #[and as long as everyone is cool and consenting with that then yes pls more of that]

[sparkystarsmore]

Meh. So I guess I’m done with Uncanny now. 

Oh well. Jono will be back at some point when this all gets retconned. I do enjoy that his final words were just saying “fuck you” to someone over and over. That’s pretty spot on, gotta say. lol

At least now I kinda get what people have been saying about the writing and characterization being all over the place, though. Even at his worst, even when he’s pissed, even when it could be justified, Jono isn’t a killer. Ever. Ever. He’ll fuck them up hard, but not kill. It’s a hard line for him that he absolutely won’t cross, and to the best of my knowledge, he’s only done it accidentally when his powers got out of control. Hell, even in training simulations, he still only ever did it because his powers got wonky.

Sigh. I figured they only brought him into this book because he’s an easy C-lister to kill off because only, like, three people will care. And while there’s actually a good chance that, being a C-lister, he might actually stay dead, I’m also not convinced that the end of the AoXM stuff won’t just change all this anyway, so I’m not too worked up about it. 

But because it’s mandatory and both sides of the Marvel house, comics and film, continue to kill off my favorites: 

FUCK YOU FOREVER.

I’ve been toying with making some new MCU blogs because fuck it. If the Russos won’t do right by my faves, then I will. 

So I thought about just making a multi to make my life easier. Decided, nah, I want the individual blogs, so I made them. And by “made,” I mean I did the bare minimum of picking usernames and registering them.

But then on a whim, I tried another name for a multi, and y’all.

If I ever do make that multi, “theaholeteam” is mine now.

This is my life’s crowning achievement.

#about jono

[sparkystarsmore]

It upsets me that his first instinct, even in literal combat scenarios, is to not fight, and how violently everyone reacts to him.

[sparkystarsmore]

okay i lied. there are more endgame thoughts.

and unlike some people, i’m still putting them behind a cut. because i’m nice. or something.

okay so real talk. the more i think about it, the angrier i get that loki was killed off so quickly and easily in IW. because just think about how cool it would have been to see him having one last glorious face-off against thanos. he’s got a personal grudge against him. he deserved a much better sendoff than he got. from a narrative standpoint, i get it. seeing such a big character get killed off so easily in the first 10 minutes really gives the audience that “oh shit!” feeling and establishes thanos as a serious threat. but y’all. loki ain’t no little bitch. i mean, okay, he is, but he’s smarter and a better fighter than that. he got done dirty. 

imagine how cool it would be to see him fighting alongside strange. imagine them working together and then loki grudgingly nods in appreciation before then immediately undercutting it with some smartass remark about strange still being second-rate. 

imagine loki still ending up dead at thanos’s hands, still sacrificing himself for thor, essentially, but it’s to buy thor time to get the gauntlet away or to distract thanos and buy tony time to get his shit together.

IMAGINE ALL THAT.

yeah. good shit.

can get stoned, which is a damn shame. But I’m just gonna ask: do you think birds know they’re birds? And that they can tell other birds apart? Like, a bluebird sees another bluebird and goes, ‘Hey, mate.’ He sees a cardinal and is like, ‘Fuck you, get outta my tree.’ But what if he sees a bluejay or summat? You think he starts having an existential crisis about whether he just failed at being a bird or is a runt or anything?>>
