some more ghost rider sketches, version i guess i wanted to draw some bones,

including a partial prototype of whatever the hell the Rider has going on underneath his skin-suit (which might need more leather 'muscles' but. whatever), a theoretical endpoint of how dead Robbie could get in my verse, which. unlikely? extremely. but fun to draw, and a line-up of Robbie, Lisa, and Gabe

in theory, Lisa's sense of style was inspired by @wazzappp 's post of Claire's fashion Lisa, but, well, outfit design eludes me. so. brightly colored vague y2k vibes are. the best i got

#robbie reyes #gabe reyes #lisa (ghost rider) #all new ghost rider #revenant robbie au #i am fully just drawing whatever at this point but. its fun so idk #ANYWAY i read the avengers 2018 run and. ok it was bad #both generally and also. sob they hit robbie with the generic mcu-quippification and naive teenager beam 😔 #absolutely no escape #but challenge of the ghost rider kind of hit tbh #if only bc it had robbie racing blaze for Gabe's sake and well. #ok objectively idk how his parents got pulled to hell like. #were they supposed to be there? #did johnny drag them from another afterlife? #idk at all #but *man* ok im not immune to family/loved ones finding out about a fave being a 'monster' #and accepting him anyway ok #so long story short idk if im gonna go with an exorcised-eli yet or not #but i gave robbie a rosary (not accurate. yes i know i didnt get the spacing on the top part right) on account that #religious iconography in marvel works based on a personal faith #re that one panel of kitty pryde burning dracula with a star of david #so i figure there's a high chance that robbie was raised roman catholic when his parents were around #even if that was a long time ago #and even if he doesnt believe/is religious in the strictest sense #he still has associations yk? #(<to be clear speaking as another mexican american and the impacts of religion in the culture as a kind of atheist) #anyway my point is #in a non-exorcism version hes found that wearing a rosary. even if it doesnt shut eli up entirely #makes him more? bearable? less loud/oppressive? easier to push down #while in an exorcism version ig it helps with keeping his identity as robbie centered and dealing with supernatural emotional regulation

Can't believe (actually can) they brought Patrick Stewart back as Professor Xavier in that Doctor Strange movie only to have him quote himself from X-Men: Days of Future Past and then die violently like he did in Logan.

#mcu spoilers #multiverse of madness #they didn't even mention the X-Men or explain who Professor X even was #he just showed up with the 1990s animated series theme song playing softly in the background #what if someone had seen MCU but not XMCU before and suddenly here's Captain Picard in a yellow bumper car #i will say his appearance was a surprise to me because i haven't actively kept up with marvel movies since...idk probably Age of Ultron #i mean i keep up with X-Men and Spider-Man but the core MCU has lost its appeal for me mostly #anyway #it's funny to think about how Patrick Stewart's first screen test for Jean-Luc Picard was in 1986 #and filming for X-Men began in 1999 #but as of 2023 #he has been on the big screen as Charles Xavier more than he has as Jean-Luc Picard #8 movies as Charles! #only 4 as Jean-Luc! #5 if you count the IMAX release of the Picard finale episode

too scared to watch secretary 2002 bc i worry it will reveal to myself that i do in fact only find james spader hot when he is voicing a killer robot

#this is not a joke when i think about ultron i feel dizzy. hottest character in the entire mcu #too many people joking about wanting to fuck machines/robots and not meaning it #when i was like 11 i went to universal studios and they had one of those evil transformers idk what theyre called #like a reallt realistic proper metal mascot costume. or maybe it was just an animatronic #anyway the point is i had a crush on it. so i have always been like this #recently was looking at pics from that holiday and there is in fact a photo of that exact robot #and i can confirm its still hot #micah.txt

Marvel, marketing MoM: oooh we made the first ever horror movie in Marvel, it's more graphic than anything we've made before!

Michael Giancchino and the rest of the Werewolf by Night team: hold our beer

#werewolf by night #multiverse of madness #remember that time they tried to market MoM as a Marvel's first horror movie and the only horrofying thing about it was the writing? #it was bad yall im sorry #and the wild thing is i love doctor strange and i watched Evil Dead kinda revently and i liked it so i dont think its that i dont like Rami #idk man it just wasnt good #anyways i believe in werewolf by night supremacy #and i will scream about it until marvel give it the attention it deserves #michael Giancchino #mcu #okay wait i thought about it and MoM does have one p graphic moment #that part when wanda kills black bolt is p gnarly ill give them that like the “with what mouth?” thing send shivers up my spine every time

i understand that if you’re sapphic and also incredibly and unironically into the mcu like i was a few years ago then the hand kiss from love and thunder might seem like a big deal and might make you feel really good but. it’s nothing. it’s literally fucking nothing. it’s a few seconds with an unnamed character and then valkyrie talks about her dead, also unnamed girlfriend for a bit. there are movies and television shows and books and idk podcasts that actually feature sapphic characters and/or relationships. you cannot, should not, and do not have to rely on the fucking marvel cinematic universe for queer representation. and the mcu should not be praised for “steps in the right direction” or whatever when we have actual representation elsewhere, and they are the ones lagging behind.

#yes this is somewhat paraphrasing another post (that i already reblogged) but #idk its just that as someone who used to be an mcu stannie who wanted gay rep from it i understand where the people #who are hyped about love and thunder are coming from but also like. they're really just deluding yourselves. #and if you just love popcorn entertainment so much there's stuff that isnt 'pretentious' bc i know some tumblr folks hate art /hj #like there's but i'm a cheerleader (a cultural reset) more recently there's first kill #i promise you that there is actual tangible sapphic representation that will fit your tastes you do not have to rely on the fucking mcu #for your queer rep #and you also SHOULDNT #anyway this is why i feel a similar way about baymax cartoon trans man like. there's actual trans representation elsewhere #yes there isn't a lot but it exists and its better than this #we don't have to give disney this much credit when they want us dead #people act like this is the first time trans characters/queer characters in general have been done when it isnt #its just the first time DISNEY has done it #disney does not care about us and just wants our money i stg get that in your heads before you freak out over #the next disney's first gay character that comes around #also side note that i already said in the tags of another post but #a character doesn't have to be actively in a queer relationship to be 'good queer representation' but #that doesnt mean that valkyrie is good queer representation #especially compared to everything else that's available #like besties maybe val would be good sapphic rep fifteen years ago??? 🤨 #i speak #mcu #mcu critical #thor love and thunder

teeth beg for something tender to sink into ✩ a bucky/nat fic

The grin that spreads over her face is tempered when Madame B steps forward and dislocates her elbow. “Pride,” she sneers into Natalia’s ear over the crack of the bone, while Soldat watches expressionlessly—his right hand tenses almost imperceptibly— “will get you nowhere. You are to do as you are asked, and that is that. Unnecessary showing off will get you eliminated, do you understand?”   

Cowed and obedient, Natalia says, “Yes, Madame,” but all she can think is Made you look, bastard. She made him look, and now it’s like he can’t tear his eyes away. 

(natasha’s had many an origin story: in 2005 it starts with a shotgun wedding, in the 1950s it’s with a metal-armed soldier and a side of communism. you know how it goes.)

i think the thing with both the batman and spiderman homecoming is that both films opt not to reshow the scene of the guardian death that is the catalyst for the superhero choice, but only the batman is able to still clearly portray how deeply that moment affected the hero. I think avoiding reshowing the death of bruces parents/uncle ben was a good choice, weve all seen the moment a million times and we know its what leads both bats and spidey to be who they are now, theres no need to show us again. but its exceedingly clear in the batman that bruce is deeply traumatized by that moment and is trying to heal his own wounds by fixing the issues in gotham, while spiderman homecoming (and im assuming the rest of the mcu spidey movies) never show the impact of uncle bens death on peter in any substantial way and its almost like it never happened at all. not directly depicting the guardian death scene and not letting it come through in the character are two entirely different things; we all know that it happened, but its a deeply impactful moment of the characters life and not showing that impact at all is such an insult to the character of spiderman. we shouldnt know uncle ben dies only because we already knew uncle ben dies.

#the batman #bruce wayne #batman #spiderman: homecoming #mcu spiderman #spiderman #peter parker #swinging a bat at the hornets nest #tom holland #idk its 7am i woke up for literally no reason im going back to bes #anyways mcu spiderman suck my fucking dick #this might be incoherent #but i hope my point comes across this is why im a stem student #textpost

ive seen the critical reviews. ive seen the fan hype. ive seen the hate. i can imagine sam raimi working against the constraints of mcu monotony leading to something very halfcocked, unrealized. cinematic edging? if u wanna talk abt it here, what did u see happen that made it so bad its entertaining again?

i think for me the review that best summed it up was someone who said that they liked it because they were just letting the insanity run through them, because the second you try to actually think of whats happening it will make you angry.

the thing that for me took it from bad to entertaining was just the fact that the plot was so incomprehensible, had 0 interest in making even the slightest bit of sense (especially not for me who, admittedly, did not watch any of the most important movies and shows that work as backstory for this movie. ive literally only seen infinity war and endgame).

at a certain point all the throwing out of names of magical items that ive never heard before, characters screaming their deep feelings over events that i had not seen, and just random absurd plot details that pop up out of nowhere (that according to people who DID watch all the movies and shows, still dont make any sense even if you did do the homework that i neglected to do) makes it like. honestly almost like the room or a neil breen movie climax where its just complete word salad. they introduce a bunch of fan service character reveals and then 3 minutes later kill them off and expect you to care about these characters you literally just met. doctor strange possesses his own zombified-corpse alternate self (despite the fact that the entire movie is about how wanda possessing her alternate selves is inherently evil) and then gets attacked by demons that are never even mentioned until the SCENE they appear in. and then the demons help him defeat these random giant statues that are wanda's henchmen. its chaotic all around which is always what i personally find entertaining in a bad movie.

especially combined with the fact that the acting is not awesome which makes it even more in line with a classic so bad its good movie. and the fact that they kind of toned down on the mcu quips which are easily the part that kills the humor the most(the quips are like. particularly bad by mcu standards but theyre quarantined to their own rapidfire "joke" telling scenes and so they dont infect the action scenes or anything like that)

#also wrt sam raimi fighting back like you can totally tell this movie was made by a competent team #like the score. directing. camera work and shot choices and transitions. all have a few really great moments #which i can totally see feeling like half cocked. toned down raimi. #but the whole thing is so bogged down by the bad writing #and i love bad writing i think if the writing is the worst part then it makes for the most entertaining type of bad movie #as opposed to eternals where its not entertainingly bad at all and the score directing editing etc are all also bad #it makes it really boring. and if theres one thin you can say about multiverse of madness it isnt boring #asks #i also dont want to oversell it like there are boring segments and again the praise its getting like #takes the wind out of my sails cause this is a movie i could ONLY like if it was an underdog that was critically panned #but came back as a so bad its good classic where we all understand its not good but love it anyway #idk the 'its bad but i still love it' doesnt play as well when its excusing a multibillion dollar companys garbage #and they could have done better but chose not to because employing competent writers is clearly not necessary for them -_- #plus just all the offensiveness of mcu wanda and the weird orientalism of doctor strange's entire franchise #neither of which started with this movie but obviously they carry over from the rest of the mcu. #and that like specifically is why i snuck in and recommend pirating it when thats available rather than give it money support

"Yelena is aroace" they say as they show a disgusting panel where Yelena had just found out her father figure was into BDSM and use that as proof

#im just tired of getting hate for this lol #if shes aroace then thats cool #god knows we need more rep #and tbh i headcanon mcu her as asexual #but it isnt canon #the creator of her is not a great person but shes still the creator #and said aroace yelena is just a headcanon #idk man misinformation is exhausting to see everywhere #but its the internet #someone told me to k myself on twitter just cause i said it isnt canon #what is it with people hoping i die lately lmfao #like i wish i wasnt so addicted to my phone #anyway whatever #sorry about this lol

love n thunder how could you do this to me

#sorry to be a marvel fan on main i grew up reading old thor comics and he’s dear to me. jane as well #also i’m. extremely susceptible to armor <3 and ladies <3 and superhero ladies in armor so this should be unsurprising #look i know. i know. it’s on a downward trend of bloated budgets and over demand from their workers and commercialization and profitability #obliterating attempts to tell genuine heartfelt stories and as a result almost every movie they release is inevitably going to fail in some #way. too many cooks in the kitchen and half those cooks care more about money than character development or arcs #but GODDAMNIT. i should have known it was coming #i’ve been hyped for this movie for YEARS bc of taika and the promotional material talking about valkyrie getting an arc and being a major #player in this movie. ESPECIALLY her bisexuality. and god it’s so frustrating. i’m 99% certain they actually filmed the movie with that plot #line there. but boy did it not end up in the final product. and it SHOWS #it is painfully obvious that SOMETHING important is missing. and notoriously absent is valkyrie having an actual arc #the setup is there. the pieces are all in place. #there’s so many scenes where awkward cuts and jumps are made. mostly with her #that fight scene?? with her in her pjs?????? traditionally mcu there would be a joke there #there’s so many scenes where something WOULD happen. but doesn’t. and she ends up with so few lines #and while yeah she is confirmed to have had a gf. the overall focus promised to her is so ruthless stripped from the narrative #goddamnit. why did i get my hopes up. #in the end still a more fun and interesting film than MoM. but no where near lives up to #ragnarok which i stand by as a genuinely solid film. the mcu sucks but that one was actually a solid story that fulfilled its goals #anyway. idk im annoyed. which i expected. but also :(. so close #capes cowls and crimefighting #i made more sense on discord lol i’m just whining now #it very much feels like the crew and The Company had very different goals for the movie. and The Company won #unlike with other recent ones where the whole thing was a mess #still a fun experience esp with my bro but really making me feel the mcu badness:/

[bibuddie]

...OKAY i'm incredibly late to the party but has EVERY member of the doctor who cast featured in the mcu? this is RIDONKS

#rebecca rambles #like obviously i knew karen gillan was nebula and i know jenna coleman was bucky's date in tfa #but matt smith was in morbius and christopher eccleston in the dark world and david tennant in jessica jones??? #that's not even scratching the surface either #anyways idk i just think its neat #mcu doctor who crossover WHEN

[demigodofhoolemere]

Oh?!?!?!

#marvel #marvel netflix #marvel streaming #daredevil #matt murdock #charlie cox #based on how many articles i'm seeing about it this seems legit #and if so it had better be a proper continuation and not a soft reboot #and i need it to keep its tone #i think the last show just proved that they can go much darker than usual and get away with it without being constrained by disney #so definitely keep its seriousness and groundedness #i don’t want to see any standard mcu humor of recent projects in here lol #nobody had better make any unnecessary or ooc jokes or i’ll kill someone rofl #idk why they wouldn’t get the same people to work on it as before but #at least seeing that they worked on covert affairs brings me some peace of mind #finally someone whose track record is a serious project and not rick & morty again lol #anyway if this really happens it had better be done right #daredevil: born again

Thinking way too much about the logical implications of Hydra. So they infiltrate organizations and do evil things or something yeah? We know the winter soldier was in Russia for a while. So hydra infiltrated the Soviet government. To do what? Anti-soviet things? Well if the cold war is to be believed, to be anti-soviet is to be pro-american! So that makes hydra the good guys! But surely not. So then they must have just exacerbated the evil already existing in the system. But if the government is already doing evil things, what actually sets hydra apart? The fact that they are a global organization playing both sides? Which in a way is commendable! It's a very rare thing to be able to resist party lines and have a truly global perspective. Diversity win: the organization brutally torturing people has members all across the world! I am starting to suspect hydra exists solely to be a convenient enemy for Captain America to fight.

#in the movies a least i dont think their ideology was ever fully defined #not that it matters #but i dont really get how it works #is this at all feasible? #well its a movie #anyway ive just read a lot of fanfic were they go around killing hydra #after ca:ws #and yeah they are bad guys but it sort if bothers me #they ARE human people in the end idk... #we cant just dehumanize an entire group of people like that #like okay even if they are despicable awful people (which by all account they are) and they deserve to die #how does a human being end up like that? #are they truly irreedeemable? #questions that haunt me #anyway they are used in fanfiction as more of a narrative device than anything i get it thats okay gotta move the story along #but i am cursed to always overthink things #this is why i never get any writing done 🙄 #mcu
