Can't stop thinking of the tragedy of agents of shield and how yeah you can find your found family in a spy organisation but due to the nature of the work it's almost always bound to end in tragedy.
Daisy connected with Ward and he used her and betrayed her.
Fitz was her family and friend for 4 seasons only to end up using and betraying her and dying without any resolution, unlike Ward who she at least got closure with via shooting him.
Simmons was one of the people she trusted most for 4 and a half seasons, "us against the world" until the trauma warped Simmons to the point she could only focus on Fitz and would warp and justify anything to continue loving him. And unlike Fitz she didn't die so there was just this undercurrent for the rest of the show like I still love you and would die for you but I can't trust you the same anymore because I know you would take your husband's side no matter what he did to me. Sometimes it's just the two of us and it's like nothing's changed and other times you're selfish and self centered and willing to sacrifice everyone around you for Fitz. I want it to be us against the world but it isn't anymore. You chose and so even though I love you I need to move on.
Coulson loved Daisy so much. They were the central relationship of the show. But he died, and he's gone and it wasn't fully his choice but it's still one more original team member she's lost.
And then there's May. The final original member, the one Daisy had the hardest time connecting with initially. And now it's just the two of them. May stood by her and May died protecting her and May came back and is still there, just a phone call away. Daisy is off in space, doing what she does best in the face of a lifetime of suffering. She's fighting the good fight and helping people who need it and she's got a partner and a sister who she can trust and with no bad blood remaining.
But if they go back to earth for a pit stop or homesickness or for any other reason, she'll have May waiting for her. Daisy went from alone to the one on her team now with the most roots, a mother and a brother waiting for her every time she comes home to earth. Maybe four out of five times putting your hope and found family heart into your shady spy organisation coworkers ends in tragedy. But maybe that one time it doesn't makes it all worth it.

Spider-Man animated show like Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends but it’s a genuine sitcom that only focuses on really mundane things that happen in the Spider-Man characters lives when nothings happening or after each fight while still being wild and insane.
No dramatics either just like Peter having a tantrum cause he’s trying to make Aunt May’s wheat cakes himself but each batch sucks to him cause it’s not her wheat cakes while they are perfect to everyone else. And him doing damn near magic with science to perfectly replicate the flavor by like sneaking into the Baxter Building to clone the taste from his emotional memory or something and having to be held down like a madman.
Double points if they call Aunt May and just say Peter was interviewing them for the bugle and he mentioned her cooking and they had to try while Peter is just staring unhinged covering in batter and experimental tech.
Yes it is just a show of filler episodes but I think it’d be cool.

JK Rowling’s books are a building. And she stopped after creating shitty, waterlogged, deeply structurally unsound bluebrints and half the scaffolding. Then left it to the elements (aka her Twitter), damaging it nearly beyond repair.
And the fandom looked at this, and put on hard hats. And they tore down that scaffolding, and took those blueprints and changed it into something that would work, and they built the most beautiful building you’ve ever seen.
The building JK Rowling designed was deeply flawed, it would never pass inspection, it would collapse under its own weight and lack of structural integrity within seconds of being built. The aesthetic design was tragic and hideous and offensive. But the fans looked at all of that, and said to themselves, “this building is fucked up, it will never be good if left like this, and everything about it is terrible and makes zero sense. But goddamnit, I have trauma and I can fix it because it must be done and no one else will.”
JK Rowling may have designed that original building. She may have had the initial idea. She may have built that unfinished scaffolding. She may have drawn those blueprints.
But this building is no longer JK Rowling’s.

so yesterday The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) was released onto Netflix and of course I had to watch it, trying to get my two year old daughter to sit with me since she’s interested in all the MCU movies—she fell asleep not even halfway through but whatever.
Anyway, once the movie ended, I realized there was a continuity error (sort of) in Spiderman: No Way Home (2021).
Everybody knows the iconic line said by Ben Parker in Spiderman (2002) “With great power comes great responsibility” and we hear Aunt May (RIP) say it to Peter!Tom before she d!es as well.
And then in NWH we get a mourning Peter (Tom) who is comforted by MJ and Ned, then he is introduced to the Raimi-Verse and Webb-Verse Peter Parkers, respectively. MCU-Peter says he doesn’t care anymore and is ready to send everyone back to their own universe but then the other two Peters start talking about their losses of Uncle Ben (Raimi-Verse) and Gwen Stacy (Webb-Verse) —since both exist in two universes have to make it clear which one was which— and MCU-Peter starts to quote Aunt May, “with great power”, only to be interrupted by Raimi-Peter who finishes the quote, “comes great responsibility” HOWEVER it is Webb-Peter that says it was Uncle Ben who said it before he d!ed.
E X C E P T
Webb-Verse Uncle Ben didn’t actually told Peter that great power comes with great responsibility, instead he says “you are a lot like your father. You really are, Peter, and that's a good thing. But your father, he lived by a philosophy, a principle, really. He believed that if you could do good things for other people, you had a moral obligation to do those things! That's what's at stake here. Not choice. Responsibility.” where it is heavily implied but never explicitly said.
Anyway. I figured I’d just share that with y’all because I went into extensive Googling and rewatched the NWH scene on YouTube twice because it popped into my head after watching the movie and I was waiting to hear Uncle Ben say it the entire time, expecting it to be in the voice mail that he left Peter before he d!ed.
Thanks for listening to my rant 🎈❤️
(I also texted my friend as soon as I finished my research last night)

Started joking about making spiderpeople ocs with my pals but then we all got very excited and I got super into mine
This is May Parker, also known as the Southern Widow. Like in the comics, Norman reverted to the Goblin after stressing about Harry's drug problem and encountering Spider-Man again and kidnapped Gwen, May's bff in this world. May actually caught Gwen, getting pretty roughed up himself, but while he was out being a hero and Norman was out being a villain, Harry relapsed and overdosed, dying alone. May took a break from being Spider-Man and came back on the scene after Gwen's father was killed during an attack by Doc Ock. He came back as Southern Widow, feeling like Spider-Man would forever be stained by his inaction to save people he was close to
