[keef-a-corn]

Dat’s right, people, it’s time for ‘Keef watches TFP and you just get the notes!’

This is for season 1, episode 15: Shadowzone

I write down the timestamps, but I watch Transformers Prime on Stan (an Australian streaming service) so they may be slightly off.

ALSO! I try my best to note points for every character, but tend to get a little caught up by Bee (although I think I do a pretty good job with the notes regardless) so do be warned.

~~~~Transition~~~~

00:12 - parallel between Megatron in the last episodes and Starscream now.

00:46 - Megatron noticed the parallel too.

01:10 - one of those moments where being a smexy bicth comes second to his job as a doctor.

01:19 - honestly, Knockout not pushing it shows just how well he knows Starscream.

01:33 - I thought the dark energon was necessary because Megatron needed energon, but his body was no longer comparable to accept anything other than dark.

~intro~

03:04 - I hardly even noticed Bee was there.

03:10 - the thinker.

03:16 - But Megatron was dead during the Skyquake episode. He wouldn’t know that Skyquake would require dark energon. Understandable why they’d assume it’s Megatron, but why would they assume Megatron’s there for Skyquake?

04:03 - this girl is on fiiiireeeeee + giving off ‘friends on the other side’ rn

04:18 - shut up, the way way Bee looks at Optimus and the cheetah meme have the same energy.

04:22 - so they truly are skipping over that angst? It appears I have a future project.

04:23 - Ratchet is the only one who doesn’t put on a game face when he’s addressed. We know why, but it’s nice to note.

04:30 - there’s something so perfect about the way Optimus jumps straight to explaining his decision and turns around to face Ratchet while doing so rather than pulling a classic ‘yes, because we need you’

04:35 - Once again, refreshing to see a character assigned to a position they’re not traditionally assigned to, but still showing passion and respect.

04:39 - How did Bulkhead not realise Miko was up to something?

04:42 - She’s drawing Optimus fighting Megatron.

04:46 - Glad to know someone’s paying attention.

04:52 - I love the way the bots walk, especially Optimus and Bee. There’s something so proper and powerful about it.

05:06 - LMAO

05:14 - Let’s pretend that Arcee couldn’t hear them.. why wouldn’t they yell out to her so she could stop Miko or close the ground bridge before Miko got there?

05:22 - Miko, Miko, Miko… frustrating af.

05:44 - they all have similar walk cycles, but none sync up.

05:53 - Bee dropping back as they walk along could be multiple things, him getting protected, acting as rear support, could also be because he’s the smallest but is walking at a similar pace to the others, meaning he’s covering less ground. Obviously I could be overthinking it too, but if we go that route these notes are completely useless.

05:55 - If you pause it at the right time Ratchet’s head makes it look like Optimus has a huge ass. (Unfortunately I did not screenshot it at the right time)

06:06 - my dude didn’t think to even ONCE call out to the bots and go ‘just so you know, we’re here’

06:18 - that would be my worst nightmare. Don’t have FOMO, just care about my phone.

06:25 - HO MAMMA

06:34 - the fading between the red and purple is so seemless and a nice detail

06:41 - I just need this screenshot to be witnessed. Why is he standing like that?? WHY DOES HE STAND LIKE THAT FOR SO LONG?

06:52 - this line’s so confusing when you forget that his arms are apart of his wings when he’s in his vehicle mode.

07:16 - AHHH THE HEAD TILT!!! Seeing that we’re looking at them from an angle, Bee’s most likely behind Bulkhead, meaning he cannot actually see the humans, but can hear them. + everyone else’s reactions tooooo!

07:27 - While everyone else looks at the ground bridge, Bee looks at the others before the bridge.

07:30 - Ratchet looking fabulous rn.

07:33 - 1. The way his voice echos is a really nice touch. 2. Ratchet using the same tone a parent would rn has me cryin.

08:06 - Starscream went into the ground bridge around the same time the kids did. Why wasn’t he caught?

08:14 - the longer that shot went for, the more I laughed.

08:26 - As soon as Starscream pulls out the dark energon it plays Arcee screaming ‘Tailgate’. Starscream has nothing to do with what happened to Tailgate. I think they were just reusing the sound from when Airachnid killed Tailgate and forgot to edit out the voice line. Upon evaluation, I do believe they’re different sounds. I don’t know why her voice line plays.

08:51 - Bee’s so cute until he breaks the fourth wall. + height difference my beloved.

09:03 - I don’t understand how the bots weren’t affected. Let’s say Starscream got to the otherside, but they kids didn’t, fine. But the bots were still caught in the explosion?

09:26 - You know that would be absolutely traumatising.

10:09 - … what was the point of insulting him?

10:14 - This is what makes it really confusing. How did Skyquake get caught in the shadow zone, but the other bots didn’t??

11:16 - Karma’s a bicth, ain’t she? Jack and Raf didn’t deserve it, but Miko totally did.

12:00 - God do I hate Miko rn. + Aw, Raf’s reaction

12:45 - Yes. In the rocks that are apparently not with you in the Shadowzone.

12:51 - you can hear Optimus trying not to show his panic and worry… and failing.

12:56 - Father and Son right here.

12:58 - with mild Confidence ‘what if you (or we) call them?’

13:35 - Not ‘nothing’. He picked up. He’s alive. It’s that there was no response.

14:05 - kinda disappointed that they didn’t have any other way to message the bots. Feels like there should be a way for the bots to message them and they message the bots, especially for situations where silence is necessary or Bee has to tell Miko or Jack something.

15:38 - Decepticons have parts to spare.

16:10 - Starscream’s arm is enormous compared to the kids.

17:23 - how does he get it open??

17:27 - *mwah* beautiful line delivery.

17:40 - god these line deliveries are stunning.

17:44 - It’s like the shot at the start.

17:46 - why does Starscream have the Crystal out?? What if Knockout saw?

18:35 - Love how either thought the other would be able to tell what Ratchet was saying.

18:47 - saying that as if common sense wouldn’t tell us that if they changed any part of it something would go wrong.

19:02 - aren’t they in a canyon? Isn’t that like one long strip??

19:31 - why would it be yours??

20:15 - glad the plan worked so seamlessly.

20:18 - Why wasn’t Bee sent? He’s Raf’s guardian after all.

20:31 - HOLY SCRAP LOOK AT HOW PRETTY IT IS!

20:34 - There’s literally no reason for Bee not to be(e) present.

20:39 - agreed. Repeat that and also apologise.

20:45 - Optimus smilinggggg

21:04 - a logical assumption.

21:10 - hc is that Knockout promotes self care for everyone (autobots included, but he’s careful when he does it.)

21:18 - I know Skyquake’s a zombie and all, but I feel bad for him.

———————

And that was Shadowzone!

It was alright. I’m not one for the human focused episodes, but it’s alright and a good way to introduce the Shadow Realm (despite how confusing it may have been.)

I thought the way Optimus was portrayed in the episode was good, showing how he cared for the children despite not really being allowed to express worry for their safety. I will admit that Bulkhead, Arcee and especially Bumblebee’s reactions to their charge’s going missing were too weak from any standpoint.

I thought that the Starscream plot line was quite weak as well and I don’t really understand what they were going for.

my proposal for tropes we as a fandom should adopt in all fanworks going forward: Duke Thomas edition

So every fandom has tropes and characterization quirks that have been generally accepted into fanon and, like, maybe? they were originally based on some obscure comic panel from the 80s or something but it doesn’t really matter because we’re all just,,, cool with it? Like for example- in the dc comics fandom, an art piece could show 3 of the bats that look virtually identical except one of them is holding a box of cereal so that one is obviously Dick Grayson. . . Y’know?

Anyway, these things usually come up naturally I guess but I’ve been here a while and it’s finally time to put my foot down. It’s high time for Duke Thomas to be more in fanon than “the sane one.” Because he might be the relatively new guy but he is certainly fears no gods or laws of the land just as much as the other bats, lemme tell ya. 

TL;DR here are character quirks (”canon-based” or otherwise) that we should all really latch onto seriously I’m begging y’all to make at least one of these happen-

Duke “Habitually Jumping Out of Moving Vehicles” Thomas

This one’s actually based in canon y’all; Duke did indeed yeet himself out of the back of a cop car and off of a bridge (in We Are... Robin). Normalize Duke’s wearing knee and elbow pads as Signal because jumping out of a car turns out relatively fine once and then suddenly Batman’s rooftop disappearing act seems mellow compared to the amount of times Gordon has whipped his head around to see a now Signal-less backseat. 

Like, he’s going 60 mph?? And he didn’t even hear the door open?? and tHE DOORS ARE STILL LOCKED??

Imagine this leaking into civilian life and Bruce waking up to a blurry photo of Duke mid-escape from a limousine on the front page of the Gotham Gazette.

(more under cut)

Duke “Puzzles are my Passion” Thomas

Duke is ~canonically~ very skilled at both solving and concocting riddles (as a child during that time where The Riddler just,,, controlled Gotham, he worked non-stop on riddles, trying to make the perfect one). Please y’all- let Duke solve puzzles. Have the other bats ask him for help after 36 hours straight of brooding over some brainteaser that Duke works out within the half-hour. He texts a picture of the solution scribbled out on loose leaf in the margins of his pre-calc homework because this boy shows his work. 

My guy is a word-cross FIEND. A mind-sweeper speed-runner. That guy who mails into the Gazette to correct a solution in the “fun & games” section and also ps that photo is not of me I am simply a polite young man who is much too busy writing into the paper in the year 2021 to jump out of limos-

I also would love to see this integrated into the type of cases he investigates / runs into on his daytime patrol. Like, obviously the criminal activity is going to dramatically differ before and after sundown, but that doesn’t make Duke’s work any easier or less important. It’s a different skillset; he has to work differently. Instead of jumping into fights, halting mob meetings, saving civilians in dark allies, etc. Duke has to sort through all of the moving pieces before they all converge into something catastrophic. 

It’s a known fact that criminal organizations in Gotham make and execute a lot of behind-the-scenes plans during the day specifically not to run into the bats. And Duke knows and monitors this shit all by himself; his work is crucial to logistics and information gathering for the bats as a whole. Now criminals have like, a 2 hour gap between bat-shifts to try and get stuff done. But Duke would 100% set traps on timers or lead them on this pre-set convoluted goose chase  to distract them until the night bats come out and to let himself enjoy the whole thing playing out on the news while he finishes homework that’s due at midnight.

Duke “I Know a Guy” Thomas

So in going off of the basic concept for the “We Are. . . Robin” run in combination to his general likability, Duke has a lot of friends all around Gotham. Okay, sure, he doesn’t have a Super best friend or a Speedster on speed dial, but he does know this guy who details cars up on West 35th and will tell them all about the new mods on Black Mask’s transport vans if they come through the third floor window and bring takeout. 

Bruce and Tim will be waiting for the facial recognition software to identify at least a partial match off of security cam footage when Duke pulls into the cave, takes one look at the screen, and says “Oh, that’s <insert name, address, abridged life story, and known associates here>.” This also brings in the opportunity for Duke to have some sort of perfect recall for faces, voices, names, etc. which I think could be a really cool element for his position as the batfamily member who has a lot more personal interaction with the people of Gotham.

I’m also into the idea of a lot of people knowing/telling stories about Duke. Not to reference the Chuck Norris meme but almost like the Chuck Norris meme lmao. Think about Jason mentioning his brother to someone and she replies, “Duke Thomas? Like that Duke Thomas? The one who swam across the harbor because he said it’d be faster than the subway and it actually was?” These stories have varying levels of truth to them but Duke will never confirm nor deny when he gets random calls from family members yelling “you dID WHAT”

So those are my top three, and the following is a little speed-round of headcanons :)

Duke has a super expressive face. Like when he’s relaxed around family, you can tell exactly what he’s thinking and how he’s feeling by his visual reactions to things

Duke rotates through picking up new and revisiting old hobbies at a pretty rapid pace. Some hobbies include: bullet journaling, origami, viola, cello, synth, conversational basics in multiple languages, up-cycling and embroidering clothes

Duke has a really fucking adorable smile. He can’t help it. He’ll try to grin sarcastically or smug to be annoying but his smile just cannot be anything other than endearing. He also has a very specific booming laugh that’s an absolute treasure to hear, because it’s the most genuinely happy thing ever. 

Duke unironically enjoys Signal by Twice even though the first time he heard it was after Steph had set it as his morning alarm.

So.

Come and get your food, I guess.

Feel free to add on if you’d like! I’d love to see anything you guys write/draw/etc. based on anything from here if you feel compelled to do so!

Stay safe and be well :)

[supertunanana]

I loved reading what you had to say about BTS fandom bizarre reaction towards Jikook especially when other shippers of other duos have shown just how far from reality they are but they get a pass. It's frustrating. I too put no label on Jimin and Jungkook's relationship other than what we know which is a strong friendship. I side eye them a lot though lol I wanted to ask you your thoughts on something since what you said about Jikook sounds exactly like something I would've said so maybe you add some clarity to my silly mind ramblings. So last year, we were allowed to see BTS come and go to several scheduled events. We saw Jimin and Jungkook share a vehicle every time. Or they would mention arriving somewhere together. Cut to 2021 after the filming of Let's BTS where Jimin and Jungkook were last seen arriving late. After that, it seems the cameras were no longer allowed I guess, to be present when BTS arrived and left any scheduled event. Now it appears and I say appears because I have no clue what goes during times they don't share on sm but it appears Jimin and Jungkook no longer share a vehicle. Even in the US, Jungkook has shared a car with Tae and then Tae, Yoongi, and Jin. Nothing wrong with any it, if it wasn't just so out of the norm. Like I know Jimin and Jungkook have chosen different vehicles before but 2020 seemed like there was an active choice, either because of convenience because of location of their living situation or want because they just wanted to. That became the norm lol Jungkook even waited almost 30 minutes at the airport for Jimin once when he could've just hopped in the car with Hobi or gotten his own vehicle to meet up with Jungkook. So now I can't help but wonder if there's a reason for this other than they want to spend car time with other members. I hate conspiracies and I hope I don't sound like I'm saying BH is trying to "hide the gay couple!!" but I do raise my two eyebrows when something becomes the norm and then changes out of the blue. The not showing BTS arriving and leaving, and Jikook not being car partners like they had been. Also I've seen people say Jimin and Jungkook arrived and left together after their personal appointment before they flew to the States but we didn't see them arrive or leave. Anyway, again it doesn't mean they're fighting or no longer friends as we know but it's a little sus to me but I cannot imagine any scenario where Jikook would just want to stop riding together or BH asking them to stop. The only thing I can think of is they thought they were spending way too much time together and switched it up to ride with other members or there was a playful complaint from one of the members like "Hey you guys arrive together, hang out together at work, hang out out of work and leave work together, what about switching it up a little and hanging with us?" But they're not teenagers so idk lmao It's annoying me that I'm even wondering about this but your thoughts?

Oh, Anon, you are so lovely, and I’d hate to disappoint you, but I really don’t put too much stock in the whole car riding thing. Like, I wouldn’t have even known that Jikook weren’t currently sharing a car in NYC until you said something. Because, I guess to me, it doesn’t really matter? I don’t go seeking out that information and I don’t draw conclusions once I have it. There’s too much supposition and analysis bias for anything concrete.

Like, is it scheduled by managers? Does it reflect preference? Is it indicative of shared locations and time management? Is it based on practice schedules or solos on set lists abutting each other? Too many variables to really worry about it, because it doesn’t, to me at least, really mean anything.

I guess I look at it like my parents, who’ve been married for 37 years, and a big gathering of friends or family will happily go in whatever car and not be together, for so many reasons. Maybe they haven’t seen a person in a while and want to talk? Maybe an older person needs help? Maybe they’re taking one for the team and going with an annoying family member? Maybe they're annoyed with each other and need space? Again, so many variables but none of which define how much they love each other. Same with me and my BFF. If I haven’t seen her in a while, yes, I will call dibs to be in the car/”away team” with her. But, if we’re in each other’s pockets, I’ll go with whomever.

And we've got such a small samples size, especially at present with COVID. It's hard to draw any sort of solid conclusion when we see only a few instances of car sharing, but not the daily stuff. I mean, they've all probably had to share cars to all their location shoots for Dynamite/Butter/photshoots/Run episodes on location and we didn't see much of that. Add in that we can't control for the above reasons or even the fickle whims of humans, and again, it doesn't really mean much to me. Everything I can say or decide is only a guess, and that's not worth the effort.

I'd much rather look at facts like the selfie they shared before they left or the photos of them talking and sharing the same escalator step on their return. That looks like Jikook still Jikooking to me! Why they aren't in the same car, I don't know, and I'm not going to worry about it. They still seek each other out. They still enjoy each other's company. That's all I need!

#jikook #ask #it's me

AVENGERS INFINITY WAR MEGATHREAD

-really doubt i'm gonna be able to finish this movie so we'll just see where i get to

- we already know how i feel about loki and thor, we don't need to revisit this

- ok but if i were going to revisit this, i mean come on, who wants to talk about "hela draws her power from asgard, same as you" cos i wanna talk about that

like what if that's the reason thor, god of thunder, king to a civilisation of warriors, was unable to fend off like, 4 dudes and a big purple dinosaur? the royal family of asgard draws its power from asgard, and without it, they are weak, they are mortal. maybe that's why heimdall is unable to just, you know, bifrost everybody off the fucking ship the minute it comes under attack. maybe that's why loki can't fucking conjure up a swarm of fucking microscopic knives to fillet the invaders from the inside out. MAYBE THAT'S WHY LOKI TRIES TO KILL THANOS WITH A FUCKING DAGGER. BECAUSE TAKE AWAY HIS POWER, TAKE AWAY HIS GODHOOD, WHAT DOES HE HAVE LEFT OTHER THAN HIS WILE, HIS TRICKS AND HIS BROTHER

WHAT IF IN SAVING THE UNIVERSE AND DESTROYING ASGARD, THEY'VE LOST EVERYTHING INCLUDING WHAT MAKES THEM GODS

somebody talk about this

- etc etc what if the reason loki is unable to attack the purple dinosaur with magic is because when he tackled thor earlier, he used whatever magic he had left to spare in order to heal him

checks out cos thor goes from flat on his face to swinging his fists in the space of like 30 seconds and the only thing to happen to him in between is said bit about loki tackling him

- why does heimdall save hulk? i mean, i could understand it if he were trying to aim the bifrost at thor and somebody somehow knocked off his aim and he accidentally saves hulk, but like, we've established that heimdall's loyalty is to the royal seat of asgard upon whom sits thor's mighty ass. thor who, in this scene, has just been incapacitated by a metal eggshell(?) and is at the mercy of their assailants. given heimdall's priorities, it is baffling to the point of inconceivability that he would preferentially save fucking HULK over his own king.

- if this next scene isn't the guardians of the galaxy coming across thor clutching loki's dead fucking body floating through space then i don't know why any of us are even here

- "he sent loki! the attack on new york was thanos!" makes no sense? like, if loki's scepter had the mind stone in it, which we established it did in the last movie when we broke it open to retrieve vision, then.....why didn't thanos just....take the mind stone in the first place? cos rock collecting is and has always been his goal?

what, do you think that just because you assert a thing makes us forget all the shit that happened before?

- i.....am actually with tony stark. why don't they just destroy the stones they have so that thanos can't get to them? oh, you made a promise? well promises change and circumstances change! you tell him tony! you tell that stupid fucker --

oh my god i'm gonna be ill

- i think the only person whose ego can match tony stark's is probably a neurosurgeon so 👍 i guess

-i love how we immediately went back to the "so dark can't see shit" aesthetic after ragnorak because ensuring that one's audience can SEE what is HAPPENING IN YOUR MOVIE is apparently for radical directors like taika waititi

- cannot believe that tony stark staring at captain america's phone number is being played with the same emotional intensity as thor losing his soulmate entire people

- honestly how many times is the mcu gonna invoke 9/11 imagery til someone calls them out for being terrorists

- lmao i know i said this before but peter's spidey senses tingling AFTER the giant alien anus has already started sucking up new york and it is right outside his window is fucking hilarious. that's just called using your eyeballs peter

- "friday notify first responders about the giant alien anus sucking up new york" lol like the first thing somebody did when the alien anus showed up wasn't to fucking call 911 GREAT IDEA TONY

- still can't believe that they let failed neurosurgeon dr strange do more magic than god of tricks and sorcery loki lol

- i know i rag on dr strange a lot about the fact that he's a neurosurgeon it's just that he sucks.

as a neurosurgeon eyy.

- i hate that peter parker has to be here!!!!! leave him alone!!!!!

- tony stark should not be allowed within 100 feet of children or minorities

- it is very weird to me that steve "brooklyn" rogers has an area code from georgia

- since when was hela a half-sister? ODIN'S DAUGHTER AND THOR'S BLOODED SIBLINGS OR BUST YOU FUCKING COWARDS

- i am very disappointed that thor is going to go get another weapon after we spent the whole last movie talking about how he is not the god of hammers

- i just need thor to have much more PTSD than he has right now. fucking hulk has ptsd. maybe they're saving the ptsd for later. one can only hope.

- i am glad that they are letting him be cleverer though

- THEY ARE LETTING VISION DATE A TEENAGER WHY

GOD. FUCKING GROSS.

- wait when did vision turn into a white man again? did i miss that movie?

- i am disappointed that vision the computer techno robot apparently has a penis. like what a stupid limitation to give your computer techno robot, gender. 🙄

- i think that the mass destruction of infrastructure and architecture in the MCU is because of the pg13 no blood limitation that disney has set? like there's no way to show destruction to the body, so one may only show the exponential destruction to one's surroundings. like imagine how much more dramatic intensity you could wring out of a regular fight scene would be if people were allowed to bleed?

- cannot believe that a computer techno robot and a witch are having a punch up with the bad guys. of all people to fight with something not their fists, it's these two

- wanda has no enhanced strength or durability? she's a regular teenager who's a bit witchy. the first time she got thrown through a glass door should have shattered her vertebrae. again i don't understand why we insist that everybody must have the same powers and capabilities when it's clear they don't. think about how much more interesting it would be if some avengers were more fragile than others and had to be given accommodations as such

- IT IS INCONCEIVABLE TO ME THAT FUCKING BLACK WIDOW (regular human), CAPTAIN AMERICA (enhanced human), AND FALCON (regular human with wings) CAN DEFEAT THE CHILDREN OF THANOS WHEN THOR COULDN'T UNLESS THOR (god of fucking thunder carved of steel and stone) WAS NERFED

- still don't understand how we'll lend aliens afro features but not afro hair, like, seriously? you're gonna dream up green aliens with gills who look like black people but imagining them with black hair is a step too far?

- the gap of commentary in this liveblog is simply because i do not care at all for the galaxy defenders

- "earth just lost her best defender" who? who does captain america consider earth's best defender? it's not thor; he doesn't know thor's presumed dead. it's not tony; he doesn't know tony's on an alien anus. who else has died so far?

- love how exhausted bucky looks. have always loved how exhausted bucky looks. love bucky.

- i forgot that tony was with peter parker. god i hate that.

- "i'm peter btw"

"dr strange"

"oh you're using the made up names then. i'm spider man"

ok that was cute, but peter's cute, we knew that already

- i want to fling both strange and stark into space and i'm having a hard time deciding which one to push first

- "you went to bed hungry, scraping for scraps" oohhhh thanos is just anti-poor people, he would literally rather poor people be dead than struggle, i get it nowww

this is on brand for mcu

- oh my god thanos gets 2/6 stones by torturing siblings in front of other siblings, seriously? you couldn't come up with 6 different ways to find his stupid rocks you had to reuse one twice?

- which one of thor's friends was stabbed through the heart....? fandral??

- "if i don't get my vengeance what more could i lose" more like what else is there eh? what else is there for a king of no people but their vengeance?

- CANNOT BELIEVE THEY GAVE HIM BACK AN EYEBALL JESUS CHRIST IF YOU DIDN'T LIKE THOR RAGNORAK JUST SAY SO YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO FUCKING

VEHICLE FOR AUTHORITARIANISM, NOTHING IS ALLOWED TO CHANGE, FUCK YOUR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT I GOT MINE

FUCK

- i do enjoy that thor is now science fiction rather than fantasy, i don't think anybody knew what to do with fantasy cos fantasy is again, ultimately about conservatism and the status quo. so i do like that we're embracing the new and boundless for whatever that's worth.

- marvel is a cesspool of toxic masculinity. at no point are characters allowed to actually feel anything because weakness is uncool i guess and therefore unmanful. like thor lost ALL OF HIS PEOPLE. fucking ALL of them. he watched his brother die in order to save him. he is not allowed a single fucking response of mourning. i don't care if he's pushing it back because revenge or whatever, this is the sort of grief that rules you, which will bring all your load bearing structures down to heel, and they let him do nothing; he does not even rage. perfect control. smooth witticisms. why. why aren't we allowed to see his sadness?

- yo i can't believe red skull is a scifi villain now lol space nazis for real

- OH MY GOD THEY WASHED BUCKY'S WIG AND IT LOOKS SO BAD

- michael b jordan was right btw wakanda is complicit in africa's exploitation

- i do LIKE black panther i guess in the way you technically like that cousin you met once when you were like 9 and never saw again?

i like how we have here in wakanda the sears tower (chicago), the batman building (nashville), and the gherkin (london)

- ok but like, presumably not a death cult super technologically advanced wakandans who are deffo made of human flesh and human blood still arm their people with spears

i mean unless wakanda is also a death cult

why is this chicks entire fucking face cgi'd she looks like a fucking cut scene video game character

- oh ok they have LASER spears, ok

so then why did they give bucky a fucking gun

- what is bucky supposed to be able to contribute here exactly, like fucking, again, he's spycraft isn't he? he's a one man, dead of night, operation go loud and then immediately silent kinda operation. why do they have him on the front lines of a fucking lock-step formation battle??

- "it will be the noblest ending in history" WHAT, FIRST COUNTRY TO EVER BE OVERUN BY ALIEN JACKALS??

- stormbreaker is just leviathan axe, somebody's said this already right

- omfg i'm so glad they're finally acknowledging that thor is OP as fuck and does not belong amongst the fucking squabbles of earth

-"titan was like most planets, too many mouths to feed not enough to go around, so i proposed a plan, dispassionate to rich and poor alike" JUST SAY YOU HATE POOR PEOPLE MCU. YOU CANNOT HAVE RICH AND POOR, YOU CANNOT HAVE DISPARITY, YOU CANNOT HAVE SOME WITH TOO MUCH AND OTHERS WITH NOT ENOUGH AND CALL IT EXTINCTION. THAT IS NOT A QUESTION OF OVERTAXED RESOURCES THAT IS A QUESTION OF RESOURCE FUCKING MANAGEMENT. IT IS AN ARTIFICIAL CRISIS IF THERE EXISTS ENOUGH TO GO AROUND BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST HOARDING IT THAT'S WHEN YOU KILL THOSE PEOPLE AND TAKE THEIR SHARE. KILLING HALF THE PEOPLE IS THE KIND OF FUCKING SOLUTION TO INEQUALITY THAT RICH PEOPLE COME UP WITH

GOD. ITS LIKE NONE OF YOU EVER READ

-you've got the big fucking boss in an ambush AND YOU ATTACK HIM WITH A MAGIC SWORD STEVEN STRANGE?????

THIS FRANCHISE HAS NO IDEA HOW TO UTILISE MAGIC USERS FUCKING HELL

- when will somebody please utilise ironman like the one man artillery he fucking is WHY IS HE FIGHTING WITH HIS STUPID FISTS HE IS LITERALLY ONE CONTINUOUS CARPET BOMB JUST USE HIM THAT WAY

cut of his arm CUT OFF HIS ARM YOU BLOODLESS SPINELESS USELESS FUCKING CUNTS . this is a manufactured crisis, KIND OF LIKE THE ONES THANOS LIKES I GUESS LOL

- dr strange could have very easily prevented or stopped quill from punching thanos but he didn't cos i guess even the movie forgets steven strange exists sometimes

- i like that the shield around wakanda has the same weakness as a poorly constructed chicken coop -- you always build into the ground a couple feet to stop the diggers man, come on, what is this, your first energy shield?

- oh disgusting, a girl boss moment. whatever you're all fascists.

- nobody adores martial might like fascists do fucking change my mind

- " avengers: not one person in this fucking cast is able to stomach ANY AMOUNT of personal sacrifice" more like

- "why did you give away the time stone?" "we are in the endgame" THAT'S NOT AN ANSWER THAT'S A FUCKING MOVIE TEASER FUCK YOU

- why didn't strange just trap thanos in a timeloop again? we've already established that is a perfectly acceptable way to deal with planetary annihilation. IS IT POSSIBLY BECAUSE NOBODY ON THIS WRITING STAFF KNOWS HOW TO DEAL WITH MAGIC

- THOR OP BLIZZARD PLS NERF

-CAPTAIN MARVEL SERIOUSLY THAT'S WHO YOU'RE GONNA SEND YOUR LAST PAGE TO JESUS FUCKING DISGUSTING

taz liveshow liveblog below the cut! ^u^

i have seen literally one (1) spoiler for this liveshow and that is apparently it's canon that krav and taako have a cat? i love this

the caption sounds so fun!

oh dang, straight into the episode then :o

"well justin does" pfffff

i still need to listen to that first balance liveshow! i signed up for max fun during the drive and listened to elementary but not the first liveshow and i need to desperately

"we'll always remember you dylan, where ever you may be, i presume hell" justin mcelroy, condemning rules lawyers to hell

so the old friend is not krav then, i don't think they'd be getting a letter from taako's bf lmao

DAVENPORT :D

oh shit, dav's a pirate :o

he knows taako so well lmao

so he sent them a howler essentially... i just thought about dav sending enchanted audio letters because he wants to remind himself he can talk and now i've made myself sad :(

taako wants to protect dad'n'port awww

"every other month" i'm going to assume that's like... family dinner night, i'm sorry but they meet up way more than that

how would you play a card game with a horse clinton

"let the little kid talk" big bro justin lmao

oh snap dav

THE WAVESMASHER

THE WAVEHUMPER

i fucking love this omg, please someone draw some choice davenchurch art with dav all pirate-y later

i love how like... post-sas davenport is just a laid back crunchy sailor. i cannot wait to see how his portrayal in fics changes after this

so this implies that dav is actually on pretty okay terms with lucretia after sas? hmmm...

i'm assuming that's because barry and lup are in reaper training

oooh new npc :o

and all the lesbians in the audience swoon

taako you lil baby ilu

b a h o o y

her name is orla :D

gotta love that vehicle proficiency

magnus ilu you silly boy

merle wtf... clint omg why

... so how old is davenport??? like the common fandom portrayal of him is around 40's-50's, or at least the gnome equivalent... i know he's still there when magnus dies so he's got at least fifty or sixty years left in him but like... holy shit griffin this is heavy as hell

"oh. just me then. alright." awww :’(

justin's doing taako's sincere voice and i'm fuckin tearing up

get dunked on merle lol

maggie my baby

taako you fucking shit ilu

wasn't a scurvy joke the origin of the key lime gogurt goof??? the circle of stupidity is complete

"what's your symptoms, pal?" davenport confirmed for team dad

"DO YOU HAVE ANY LIMES THOUGH" T A A K O

we are only a fourth of the way in and i have so many notes holy shit

that was so goddamn weird

eww no, merle no :(

oh snap is that krav

WHAT THE HELL MAGNUS

OH SHIT THAT'S NOT KRAVITZ

HOW WOULD A RAFT EXPLODE??? oh that's how

god bless orla

"not every character is gonna be a callback" griffin i know for a fact kravitz is in this episode :/

so davenport lied about the whole thing??? holy shit

poor clint lmao

"fainting is not a wound" pffff

"i think a demon already took it" jesus justin

holy fucking shit travis

OH NO, OH NO, OH NO

what are you up to taako

taako why did you think that would work???

WAIT THAT WAS HIGH ENOUGH?!?

so it went through calloway's ship? oh thank fuck i thought it went through davenport's ship for a minute there

Whats the one thing you dread to draw?

oh lots of things tbh

-Cars(i’m sorry but you’ll probably never see a vehicle on my blog drawn by me lmao. Occasionally a motorcycle maybe, because I’ve heavily referenced one for a drawing in the past, but I doubt even that)

-Guns (usually I use heavy heavy references because I cannot draw a gun without a reference otherwise it just looks like a rectangle)

-elaborate costumes that have tiny detail (Gordon Freeman’s outfit, the Mandalorian, Muriel from the Arcana all come to mind for this)

-backgrounds (i hate drawing backgrounds so much I’m so lazy)

I’m a very simple artist, I like excessive detail, but I absolutely hate drawing it myself. It frustrates me and I end up not liking the end result like 99% of the time. I want to like drawing that way but I just don’t. Sometimes I’ll get the urge to actually make something decent that involves a lot of detail but it just doesn’t happen very often. For example, that HLVRAI pic I drew today with big scary eldritch benrey is the most effort i’ve put into an art piece in a good while i think

ULTRON MEGATHREAD

- lmao thor acting like he needs the whole afternoon to get barton back to CP when he can literally fly at the speed of sound

- i guess "mutant" is trademarked then? "eNhAnCeD" lol fuck off

- i really just love how these movies are so fucking dark i can't see fucking SHIT unless i watch it completely in the dark of night, no lights

- ok i do like this fish leviathan tho, that's neat

- why is military macho man captain america tending to clint barton instead of LITERAL MEDICAL DOCTOR BRUCE BANNER god it's like bad fanfic where everybody is interchangeable with everybody else

- i simply refuse to believe that tony stark does not have his own stark brand headphones for bruce banner to wear on the plane. i simply refuse to believe that tony stark deigns to use consumer tech products at all. i bet he designs his own fucking bidet

- why do natasha and clint have a more realistic fucking sibling dynamic than literally any actual sibling mcu has shown us.

- it is fucking irresponsible for stark tower to be in as densely populated a place as nyc i don't care if steel and glass is the aesthetic, that shit should be in rural fucking nebraska where the next flying fucking alien army that wants to take it out only has cows and groundhogs for civilian casualties

- TONY STARK CANNOT BE CONCERNED WITH THE WELL-BEING OF THE HUMAN RACE AND A FUCKING TECHNO CAPITALIST I'M SORRY I DON'T MAKE THE FUCKING RULES

- i'm glad that they're giving bruce banner more to do

- is ultron/jarvis a ship? i feel like it ought to be.

- i HATE this party wooooooooooooooooow. i didn't know you could fit this much smarminess into one fucking scene, actually amazing!

- natasha's outfit is cute.

- WHY are they pushing romanoff/banner so hard jesus christ, i'm like, not even sure bruce is allosexual if i'm honest and natasha can just do BETTER

- ok the bit where everybody's trying to move thor's hammer is cute

captain america is the military arm of an imperialist nation so of course mjolnir's into that

- a monster shambles out of depths tony's hubris and into the waking world ready to tear down humanity from it's precarious rungs of existence because tony stark believes himself to be greater than the sum of all the things he does not understand? classic tony.

- "YOU WANT THE WORLD TO BE SAVED BUT YOU DON'T WANT IT TO CHANGE. HOW IS HUMANITY SAVED UNLESS IT IS ALLOWED TO EVOLVE"

ULTRON IS RIGHT TONY STARK IS A THREAT TO WORLD PEACE AND HE SHOULD SAY IT

- actually love how every bad guy the mcu has presented to us so far has been in the moral right but because they threaten the status quo they are villains and must be stopped

its because the mcu is a vehicle for casual authoritarianism no biggie

- god i hate captain america. his naivete isn't even like ww2 era hokey charming, it's just the -- it's what america the narcissist sees when it looks at itself in the mirror. always right, always moral, simple-minded and more concerned about being good than about being effective. it's a dishonest man's idea of what an honest man is and it's disgusting.

- and tony stark is what a technologically illiterate persons' idea of what a technocrat is

- PIETRO IS RIGHT TONY STARK IS PERSONALLY A MURDERER

- every villain so far has called tony stark a murderer and been right to do so where is my tony stark is the villain movie mcu

- it is so fucking weird and stupid to see norse god thor going through boxes of papers like he's in fucking csi lol

- IT IS HORRIFYING THE IDEA THAT PRIVATE CITIZEN TONY STARK HAS A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN ORBIT AROUND THE EARTH THAT CAN BE CALLED DOWN AT ANY TIME

WHY IS TONY STARK ALLOWED TO CONTINUE BEING A "GOOD GUY"

- if tony stark is not personally paying out of pocket for all the international damage to infrastructure he causes then there is no justice in the world

"stark relief fund" 🙄

-other people have said it already but man, natasha going on about how not having a uterus makes her a literal monster who is on the same level as "smash everything" hulk is insulting to monsters

also the fact that bruce and natasha are like wah wah we can't have kids, be less heteronormative you literal freaks

- "i watched my friends die" who? who has died in the mcu when avengers ultron premiered? i'm legit drawing a blank. bucky died, but that's steve's friend. loki died, but that's thor's love of his life brother. who died that tony stark cared about?

- this is such a slow, stupid movie about nothing
