#fuck director hayward

[valkyrieandstrangeridingaragorn]

Marvel said "fuck complex characters because we need wymen #gurlpower". They already did it with Loki, Clint, Thor, Bruce and Strange.

Uh... okay, let's take a step back here for a sec.

We all know the issues with Sylvie so I won't repeat them here, but I disagree with the other characters you mention (I can't talk about She-Hulk because I haven't seen the series).

Clint is complex in his series, L&T is just bad for everyone involved and MoM is hardly a movie for girl power when Wanda is treated like garbage and she has her entire character development destroyed for no reason.

Phase 4 just happened to be so damn bad with characterization. The fact that you see this as "girl power" is proof of the fact that they have been shielding all kinds of criticism with "people hate representation!". They put the women in the spotlight because they know the reactions will be 1) fans who now defend every movie and series because they have been told it's representation, 2) sexist/racist/etc fans who voice their hate, giving ammo to the first group - now they feed into each other and countless articles are written about it. It's a marketing strategy, that's all it is.

The women in WandaVision are great (so are Vision, Hayward, Woo), Layla in Moon Knight is fantastic (so are Marc, Steven, Harrow), every single woman in Wakanda Forever is magnificent (so are Namor and M'Baku)... sure, there's Sylvie in the Loki series (and probably others but I stopped watching the D+ shows after MK) but don't let them fool you: the lack of quality in Phase 4 is due to several reasons ranging from lack of continuity, inexperienced writers/directors who won't watch previous works, too much interference from the execs in the studio, a massive lack of creativity, Feige taking the fans for granted, etc.

It's all very hit-and-miss these days with the MCU, but it's not due to them giving the spotlight to women by tearing the men down. They're failing at characterization as a whole, with a few gems hidden here and there.

John Walker's coronation as "Your New Captain America" still makes me throw up in my mouth a little. Meet the new blond-haired blue-eyed ubermensch. Because of course that was what was going to happen.

Walker is sort of like S.W.O.R.D. Director Hayward in that it always surprises me how many people thought this was a well-meaning guy being introduced in good faith. Like, I fucked up the racist banker litmus test but even I understood that this guy was, by design, supposed to be the worst.

An All-American good ol' boy from the Deep South who truly embodies the values and virtues of a, uh, very particular subset of Americans. The dude is literally a walking dogwhistle designed in bad faith to keep the symbol of Captain America from becoming, let's say, colored by falling under the control of non-white people.

And just like that, the show has effectively reframed that moment of Steve giving the shield over to Sam. Walker is a person who is demographically more like Steve than Sam is. But we can say in full honesty that him becoming Captain America, especially for the reasons he became Captain America, isn't what Steve would want.

We know what Steve would want. He already cast his vote.

And it's a hop, skip, and a jump from there to the show's truest question: "But what Steve wants doesn't really matter anymore; What does Sam want?"

highlights of February

1. Favourite movies: House of Strangers (1949), The Changeling (1980). 2. Decent movies I liked / appreciated but not loved: The Night Stalker (1972), Everything Everywhere All at Once (2023). 3. wtf movie/ending: Teen Wolf: The Movie (2023). Just an overall impression. Literally WTF. 4. Best scenes: the alleyway break-up / 'She left me two hours ago' (House of Strangers, 1949); confronting the senator (The Changeling, 1980); Those You've Known / The Dark I Know Well (Spring Awakening, 2022). 5. Favourite genres: drama, fantasy, mystery. 6. Favourite directors: Peter Medak (The Changeling, 1980). I also like  John Llewellyn Moxey for The Night Stalker (1972) (surprisingly), Joseph L. Mankiewicz for House of Strangers (1949) and  Daniel Kwan + Daniel Scheinert for Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022). 7. Favourite actors: George C. Scott (The Changeling, 1980); Edward G. Robinson, Susan Hayward, Richard Conte (House of Strangers, 1949); Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All at Once, 2022); 8. Least favourite performances: anybody in Teen Wolf: The Movie (2023). I reiterate, what the fuck? 9. The most wasted cast: Teen Wolf: The Movie (2023). They brought almost everyone back and made this abomination? How was this even allowed to happen? Let's count. Tyler Posey, Crystal, Holland Roden, Shelley Hennig, JR Bourne, Ian Bohen, Colton Haynes, Linden Ashby, Melissa Ponzio, Ryan Kelley, Seth Gilliam, Orny Adams, Dylan Sprayberry, Khylin Rhambo, Tyler Hoechlin. There are so many just baffling choices as well. Bringing back Stiles' dad without Stiles and their dynamic. Bringing back the Nogitsune without Stiles, Kira or her family. Bringing back Liam and Mason, but not having them interact at all. Revivng Alison (a wtf moment in itself) and not having her reunite with Lydia. Breaking up Stiles and Lydia off-screen for the dumbest of reaons. Not having Scott and Liam exchange a single line. Getting Alison and Scott back together. Everything to do with Derek (not having him interact with either Peter or Malia (who themselves don't interact at all), introducing his son whose existance doesn't even make sense, killing him off). I could go on and on. This film is an insult and a nightmare. Moving on. 10. The best wasted premise: Teen Wolf: The Movie (2023). The idea of bringing back this show for one last adventure is cool, but you need to have, you know, a script before you do that. 11. Best premise: Pandora and the Flying Dutchman (1952). 12. Favourite cast: House of Strangers (1949). Edward G. Robinson, Susan Hayward, Richard Conte, Luther Adler, Paul Valentine, Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., Esther Minciotti. 13. Favourite on-screen duos:  George C. Scott x Melvyn Douglas (The Changeling, 1980);  Jonathan Groff x Lea Michele (Spring Awakening, 2022);  Edward G. Robinson x Richard Conte; Susan Hayward x Richard Conte (House of Strangers, 1949);  Michelle Yeoh, x Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All at Once, 2022). 14. Favourite on-screen relationships: Max Monetti x Irene Bennett (House of Strangers, 1949). She gives as good as she gets. 15. Favourite characters: Max Monetti (House of Strangers, 1949); John Russell (The Changeling, 1980); Waymond Wang (Everything Everywhere All at Once, 2022). 15. Favourite quote: Can't remember anything... 16. Favourite fact discovered in 2023: Jonathan Groff and Lea Michele are best friends in real life and he supported her when she went back to Broadway to play the lead in Funny Girl. 17. The most overrated film: I kind of think that  Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) is a tad overrated. I like it, just not nearly as much as everyone else seems to. 18. The most disappointing film: Teen Wolf: The Movie (2023). 19. The biggest surprise: The Changeling (1980). 20. Best cinematography: John Coquillon (The Changeling, 1980). 21. Best set design: Keith Pepper (The Changeling, 1980). 22. Best costume design: Shirley Kurata (Everything, Everywhere All at Once, 2022). 23. Best music: The Changeling (1980). 24. Best prooduction choice: casting Richard Conte to be a tough, but ultimately good guy. He's great at playing villains, but his overwhelming charisma makes for pretty interesting good guys as well. 25. Worst production choice: releasing Teen Wolf: The Movie (2023). Absolute atrocity this film is. 26. Film of the month: The Changeling (1980) with House of Strangers (1949) a close second.

[myownworstenemyyy]

i know there's lots of different opinions and theories going around, but I think we can all agree on one thing:

Director Hayward is a giant ✨cunt✨

#he needs a swift kick in the ass 😤 #wandavision spoilers #wandavision #fuck that guy #director hayward #tyler hayward #marvel

[historfantasy]

I think after watching this week’s episode of Wandavision for the fourth time, I finally understand all the emotions going on in scenes that happen after Wanda opens the last door.

First, she is just physically upset, she drove to SWORD after opening up the deed that her dead soulmate gave to her from beyond the grave. So she marches in. Then when she’s talking to the guy at the desk she sinks into the fact that when she woke up, she was no longer holding him. So Wanda wants his body even though I don’t think she has processed that she is going to see a body.

Because when she walks down the hallway still with the bravado she walked in with and she asks Hayward for the body and he shows Vision dismembered, she can’t process what she’s looking at. She hasn’t processed it being Vision’s body, and especially not that they are dismembering the valuable body she saw Ultron get the parts for and build.

So she turns to ask Hayward what he is doing, how he can just pull apart something that was once someone that gave her strength and love. Then when he answers her by calling Vision, “the most sophisticated, sentcient weapon”, basically a gun with a brain that they want to pull apart for its shiny, valuable pieces, he bursts another bubble for her. She is knocked down lower than ever, “you can’t do this.” Pleading by giving Hayward a desperate reason for him to give her Vision, “I just want to bury him.” Hayward, I think can tell he is breaking her down and picks his next few phrases very specifically. He isn’t blunt and rude at first he is questioning her, riling her up to make her feel worse.

He questions a woman, who is notably distraught, about her intentions and “accidentally slips up” in such a fake way, to show Wanda that no one cares about Vision as he is just a machine, and that nobody cares about her feelings for the “three billion dollars in vibranium.” He gives her fake diplomacy but as she expresses her loss and her need to have whatever is left of him, Hayward tells her straight up, “He isn’t yours.” All of this snowballed her into breaking the glass, she wanted to be the villain for a sec she wanted to be the woman who didn’t have to lose again and so she feels vindicated coming down into the lab, to step near his body.

As she steps towards him, she sees the man who saved her in Sokovia, who watched sitcoms in comfort with her, the man who printed out the recipe, who she snuck around the world with, the man she had in her bed. She saw him just in pieces and could probably still remember the burst of energy the mindstone gave off when she destroyed it and was just he was dead. So when she puts her hand over his head says “I can’t feel you,” for the first time” all she was, was unbelievably sad and heartbroken. Another loved one, maybe the most important one yet, is lost to her.

But the second time she says it, it isn’t for dramatic effect, you can hear it in her voice and see it on her face. It’s a whisper of depression and a tiny bit of peace. He isn’t just dead. This man, not a machine, is gone. He is not suffering as they pull him apart, he doesn’t feel weighed down by the stone. He was the man she loved and had to kill and then watch be murdered a second time and he was simply gone. So that’s why she could simply walk out of SWORD. She would have just kept crying right there but no she pulled herself away because it was never the “three billion dollars vibranium” for her, it was everything else.

So she walked out and to her car. Wanda walked away from what was gone and drove to what she actually had left of him. See, Vision never gave her a ring or some little trinket, he wanted to give her his word, but they never had the chance. As she said in Infinity War, “We wanted more time.” But what that means is without him, she really has no item she can burn, keep in her pocket, or hold close to her chest.

We find out though that he gave her a plot of land, in a place that needed some TLC just like her when they met. So she goes to that. That is where she goes and she looks at the deed with his last note to her on it, “To grow old in.” He was never going to grow old, and maybe if she is like Agnes she can’t either, but I don’t think he meant old as a couple. I think he meant for her to grow old in. Either with him there to take care of her as she grows grey and frail or maybe he means for her to grow old in without him just so he knows she has a place after his sacrifice.

She walks through the entrance that she wishes he could have carried her through when they got married or the one he could come home to greet her like her parents once did. That’s where she breaks down. Wanda wanted a future with him and that future, her love for sitcoms, her desire for a picturesque life, and Vision all just come pouring out of her. Literally.

She cannot take the pain so she lets everything pour out because her love preserved even after his death but she never even got the chance to tell him those three simple words when he was alive.

Hayward should’ve been caught in the borders of Westview at the end of EP 6 so that he would be a clown on the inside and out

[shewhohangsoutincemeteries]

so to recap, hayward had the nerve, the fucking audacity to decide sword could claim ownership of vision’s corpse (because there is no way any of the starks - who are the closest to having any notion of ‘ownership’ over him - would have signed him over to them),then take a grieving woman to see them FUCKING DISMANTLING HIS CORPSE, FRAME HER FOR STEALING HIS BODY, AND THEN CALL HER A TERRORIST WHEN ALL SHE WANTED WAS THE CLOSURE THAT CAME WITH BURYING HIM.

bitch, forget chaos magic, hayward is gonna have to deal with these hands

#honestly tell me how sword got his body #because either they STOLE IT #from wakanda or from the avengers #or steve nat and bruce signed it over to them #because tony wouldn't have after ultron #he wouldn't want anyone messing with that kind of technology again #but after shield being hydra i don't see steve or nat trusting sword #and i don't see bruce wanting to risk another ultron either #so what the fuck #wandavision #wv 1.08 #wanda maximoff #director hayward #tyler hayward #mcu tv #original post

I haven't watched Wandavision and won't so I'm just here vibing with everyone who's watching it. Who is this Hayward guy. This ask is a free pass to rant about him if you want because I gather that we don't like him.

hayward is a BITCH who i hate and he just doesn’t see the world in any sort of nuanced way 

#wandavision spoilers #anon you are so fucking valid #this show has given me some writing ideas back tho so i have to watch it #it is also good for vision content and i love vision content #hayward is the director of sword and is arrogant

#wandavision #wandavision spoilers #director hayward #he is an absolute dick #i feel it in my gut #he has SOMETHING to do with whatever is happening in westview #watch him do something shady and fuck this up #i don't trust him and i want him to get punched in the face #MCU

[eggs-love-loki]

After last episode’s callous treatment of Wanda’s grief, I thought Director Asshole couldn’t sink any lower. And then he tried to shoot literal children.

#seriously what the actual fuck is wrong with this man #please continue sinking lower you dickhead #wanda vision spoilers #wanda vision #director hayward
