#i'm not ignoring anyone i'm just 🥴 trying to survive

while Gamora should have been a guardian by default imo, isn't it weird that she isn't on merch as the female lead?

I don't know all the rules and regs but I can't think it's normal, in more recent years at least, to be so visibly cut out like this. If it was one or two instances I might find it reasonable. But she's missing from almost everything. Kraglin has more visibility and that's pretty insulting to Gamora by comparison of importance to the franchise, prominence in the Avengers crossover movies and let's be real her character is more recognizable. It's just not right

on a different note I appreciate everything you said about Gamora and Nebula being sisters and how their relationship doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Thanos tried so hard to break them both and they didn't let him. He tried to poison how they saw eachother and they overcame that. The relationship has the tension, conflict, love and healing that people in fandom usually eat up with a spoon. I'm not here for anyone ignoring that in favor of thinking one of them would try to take love from the other or ever want to. I'll never be on the side of two abuse victims being reduced to competition. They both survived a nightmare and one lost more than anyone ever should. Nothing should ever undermine that. If marvel wanted to make a movie just about them I'd be all in, only I don't want marvel to touch Gamora, or any of the guardians really, ever again. I don't know what it says when I both want to see more of characters i love but also would rather never see them again.

this comment got me thinking and honestly like cast formality and billing aside, just looking at story only...i don't even think gamora is rly the female lead in vol 3. it's nebula.

and look, this movie honestly made me rly LOVE nebula in a way i hadn't before and i'm rly satisfied with where her character got to go. like at least in all the bullshit that happened in gamora land, nebula got to actually thrive in this franchise more than i would've expected 9 years ago. and i think that's rly cool! but it sucks that we couldn't get here while also maintaining gamora's original place in the gotg family and like her overall arc. but i think if anyone was The Female Lead in this movie, it was nebula before it was gamora.

i also haven't looked at the new merch a ton admittedly, outside of my fruitless search for a cute loungefly bag with the whole team. i DID however go to california adventure 2 months ago and downtown disney a little over a month ago when marketing on social media for vol 3 was definitely happening, and i was surprised to see that there wasn't like...more gotg stuff? i might've been too early for the like character actors to be out and about (it was just a month-ish after quantumania's release, so the ant-fam characters were still hanging out, tho i only saw scott when i went), but even merch-wise they didn't seem to have more gotg stuff than usual both times i went to the stores in march and april. (i mostly saw rocket and groot stuff. like bitch i would have bought gotg ears and they only had groot. come on) so i honestly don't even know what the full merch situation in big box stores is lol cuz it sure was abysmal at disney, the actual source 💀 does gamora even have a vol 3 funko yet?

but also on the topic of merch and scarcity...i just want to highlight the one (1) piece of official merch i own that features both natasha AND gamora...and it's LITERALLY FROM DISNEY INFINITY LIKE 😭 NOT EVEN MCU 😭😭😭

so yeah idk what the deal is with mcu merch but they are literally allergic to their original female leads but mostly gamora 🥴 at this point my only hope for merch is an adult sized gotg uniform costume i can buy during halloween season. please. 🙏🏼🕯️

and lastly to your point on gamora and nebula's relationship - i completely agree!!! and it sucks having fav characters you'd love to see again but also are dreading seeing again....at this point i am just hoping to run on what if...? s2 and vibes

#whenever s2 drops that is....i want that gamora ep bro #the way i have a funko for what if gamora who was literally just an ensemble character in the finale but there isn't a vol 3 gamora funko?? #they have lost the plot like actually fatally #ask #the gamora situation

Someone deserved to be called a loser for wanting to reblog your posts? Damn. Okay. You guys will find any reason to find it acceptable to be dreadful to others and find justification. Do you only like characters because you find them hot? Because by your responses it seems you only think people like characters because they are [hot] which seems rather sexist and assuming about people's sexuality.

once again i did not call the person trying to manipulate me a loser, i said their followers were losers, lol. i am freely admitting that and maybe i would apologize if like they didn't attack me just because i blocked them <3 also? sexist???? are you sure you understand what that word means?? and i don't know what else you expect me to believe people stan him for when the only thing i see people talk about in regards to negan is how "hot" he is and ignore the fact he's literally a rapist 🥴 there's no depth to his character, nothing beyond him being abusive and psychopathic, lmao, but since jdm is conventionally attractive he gets a pass and people either ignore his abuse or downplay it, which pisses me off.

i literally did not do a single thing wrong when i blocked them when they showed up in my notifications but they immediately wanted to make me the bad guy in the situation for doing literally the most normal thing on this hellsite. if anyone is trying to find justifications for their behavior, it's the people trying to twist this and act like i've been attacking people when i haven't. if you're hurt by being called a loser how are you surviving on the internet. people are in my inbox calling me a weirdo, miserable, i had someone be transphobic to me in a reply to a post regarding this situation which seems a bit sus, someone sent me a messaging calling me and my parents bitches which was incredibly funny and i'm not even mad about it LMAO but yall are freaking out because i said "loser."

you want to say "fiction is not that serious" yet you're still crying to me about all of this. interesting. watching my blog, reading the replies, why are you so bothered if it's not that serious?

btw i literally unblocked the person i blocked that started all of this because this is all so stupid.

#rape mention tw #you act like i'm depriving people of content there are literally so many people making gifs #it's fucking GIFS oh my god calm the fuck down
