Imagine you’re just some guy with a hyperfixation and your dead grandpa’s ex boyfriend says he’ll send you to Atlantis, and less than 24 hours later over 100 people are killed by the robot lobster from hell.
You meet a really pretty (possibly immortal) girl and she actually likes you, the resident Twink Dweebus, only to immediately get yoinked into a commentary on capitalist corruption.
Your new girlfriend gets possessed by a sentient rock and is then kidnapped in a hot air balloon.
You slice open the Big Bad Military Capitalist and he turns into a crystal monster, which you graphically shred to pieces in an engine fan. (Yes, this is a kids movie.) The volcano you were all fighting in erupts (did I mention it’s a volcano?) but it’s fine because millennia old robots rise up from the ocean and stop it.
Don’t worry, your girlfriend is fine the rock gave her back.
Mark Pakin, the actor you are. There is no way in hell I should be feeling so much empathy for a character that has been on my screen for no more than 40 minutes at this point, yet here I am. We don't even know what the problem between the brothers is, and yet the good script and Mark's acting somehow have me in the feels for Night.
hi uh. I’m back again bringing you another insane petty bitch Mark Webber moment. This is post 2010 British GP (Mark’s win after the front wing saga, “not bad for a number 2 driver” you know) and uh. well. that is certainly one way of referring to your teammate!
he never fails to be the most entertaining bitch on the grid! this weekend was CRAZY for Messy Mark Moments. Slamming the cup down, winning the race and doing what the commentators called a “calculated” celebration (determined, slow movements), “not bad for a number 2 driver), THEN FREAKING “*mumbling* the other guy” WHILE COVERING HIS MOUTH??? he was craaaaaaazy oh my god he fucking hated that twink
i LOVE cassian and bix i love how they don’t interfere with each other’s personal lives but they’re totally aware of and casual abt each other’s love lives. with bix’s comment abt jealous husbands going after cassian and the way cassian asked abt her and timm. i love how bix’s “he would do anything for me” line about timm is so confident and a bit callous and she knows cassian won’t blink an eye. and how cassian clearly only considers her relationships his business as far as it might affect the safety of their work. i love how bix trusts cassian with what she does and who she actually is, and how when they talk, timm becomes this awkward out of the loop third wheel. i love how cassian obviously doesn’t like timm but he doesn’t make it bix’s problem and his only responses to timm are to reinforce bix’s agency. i love how when cassian and maarva are listing people who might have betrayed cassian, he will bring people maarva considers family into it but not bix, and even when maarva lists his exes he only gets specifically defensive and insistent when bix’s name gets mentioned. and he’s right, she absolutely has his back when he needs her. i love wherever they’re going with this
