#ig if ppl like it im not gonna argue further

[ucannotkillmeinawaythatmatters]

im rewatching Moon Knight while I embroider, so I figured why not post about it!! I still haven't unlocked the gif ability everyone on here seems to have, so I'm just gonna have to describe everything without proof. this is gonna be an in depth, long, and rambly post, so you can read the rest after the cut if you'd like!!

episode 1: the goldfish problem

so a lot of this episode is establishing Steven and the situation that he's in. it's kinda sad cuz on the surface level, he has a nice life. he's got a job, a big flat, he calls his mom pretty often. but when you look deeper it gets sadder. the main thing that sticks out is how lonely Steven is

JB doesn't know his name, the only person he can talk to is a statue person that doesn't respond back, his boss is mean. he's so lonely in fact that he accepts a date with a person he doesn't really know to a STEAK HOUSE.

(I have my own theory about how that was Jake who was trying to be nice and get a date for Steven?? maybe?? bc it's highly unlikely that marc, who has a wife, would do that. and even if you tried to argue that marc did it for Steven, why would he then go and make him miss it?? plus, I'm certain he knows that Steven is a vegan. which also makes you wonder why Jake didn't notice that detail, but I digress)

(side note number two, Steven is good with kids and I'll die on that hill. the scene where he's explaining things about mummification to that little girl?? answering her questions patiently and excitedly?? yeah, he's a hit with them, I promise you. and not just when he's talking about his Special Interest. also the foreshadowing of that girl asking him if it sucked to get rejected from the field of reeds?? I'm sickkkk)

and ofc, there's the main issue of steven falling asleep in his bed and waking up in the middle of nowhere without a clue as to how he got there. I'd like to take a second to commend Stevens intelligence here!! anke restraints, sand around the bed, tape on the door?? I would never even think of these things.

either way, none of it works and he wakes up in the middle of goddamn nowhere, injured and hurting at that!! (even if khonshu fixed it, he still sounded like he was in pain for a while there). people are shooting at him, he's so so desperately trying to give this strange man (who he just witnessed kill a woman mind you) the beetle but he can't, and all the while a strange voice is berating him every two seconds. again kudos to Steven bc I could never. I would have been crying the moment I heard the gunshots.

(Jake theory again. I'm so certain that a lot, if not all of the car stuff was Jake. I love marc, but I refuse to believe he could manage those car skills, while shooting at ppl, while on the a narrow road of a fucking mountain. nahhhh that was all my boy Jake)

(also note that when Steven first woke up in the grass after Marc?? jumped and fell fourish stories?? khonshu called him a worm. and then further specified and called him "the idiot." I firmly believe that khonshu calls Steven AND Jake worms/parasites, it's just that Stevens the idiot and Jakes the competent one ig)

and waking up after all of that like nothing happened must have been so frustrating. I know Marc was just trying to protect him, but instead Stevens just being gaslighted and facing psychological warfare. so everywhere he goes he's faced with signs that he might be crazy or he might not be. ex: gus suddenly having one fin, the time being wrong, Marc appearing in the mirror and talking to him completely unhelpfully, khonshu FUCKING TORMENTING HIM FOR NO REASON, but also the burner phone he found, harrow being real, and the dog creature I can't remember the name of!!

so much of this episode was Steven being scared and unhappy and overwhelmed and it makes me sad!! he's so precious and sweet, he doesn't deserve to be going thru any of that.

(also I'm never ever gonna get over the cinematography and thematics of the mirrors in the museum bathroom. first of all mirrors cool. second, the hints at his multiplicity thru the infinite images of the bathroom, but with Marc in only one of the reflections. I'm gonna be fucking sick)

so yeah!! those are most of my thoughts. I know that pictures and gifs are a huge part of making a post Not Boring and I'm gonna use them as soon as I learn how istg

*    AVENGERS:  ENDGAME THOUGHTS.

content:   a lot of screaming,   a lot of screeching,   a lot of tears,   about 50% salt about Stuff.    of course,   basic tagging would be   #endgame spoilers.

001                   first of all.    FUCKING. HARLEY. KEENER.    okay.   okay?  legit. i thought...... i thought he’s. gonna at least. GET ONE LINE. JUST ONE??? but no. of course not.   i don’t get my maria hill screen-time,   so why should i be blessed with a tiny bit of harley just saying something witty?   even though he should?    in any case,   it’s peculiar to see him alone @ that scene????  did mcu forgot his mom and sister?  course they did,  i’m not surprised lmao.   can’t wAIT TO JUST MAKE A THOUSAND AND ONE AU’s from this yaaaassss ty simpkin also lookin hella good and lean and tall i love him i rlly do

002                    nebula is. amazing. I LOVE HER. I LOVE HER CHARACTER. WE ARE TRULY BLESSED THAT SHE EXIST

003                    yeet!!! a lot of my rp partners don’t like renner and scarjo as clint and nat, and with good reasons too like i understand!!!! but...... as a film student u guys i feel like???? renner and scarjo really nailed it emotion-wise?  for so long.  for so long,  we have arcs of both of them, at least for natasha, being sort of this? emotionless figure? or at least: this person who had to keep it together, or keep it 80% stoic. it’s nice to see scarjo being able to translate a more vulnerable side to natasha. and it’s also nice to have been re-established that clint and natasha are the true soulmates, platonic or romantic. 

004               listen. i. i don’t agree with the whole steve/peggy thing. i actually? don’t mind their relationship as a whole? and i understand why it’s reasonable for the filmmakers to make it happen.  for movies-after-movies, steve has always... pined over peggy. he never stopped, you know? i get that.   buuuuuut i’m a big thing for like,   the moving-on trope.   no, i wasn’t entirely into steve/sharon either, but hey!  at least boy’s trying to make something, you know?   i feel like.  and even though i COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND where steve is coming from, and that, after so long of fighting, he deserves THIS GOOD LIFE, but. i feel like, steve could really be a good, healthy symbol of:   hey,  so i’ve lost almost everything.   but i won’t let that stop me.   i have my best friend,  i have a new life with new friends.  peggy is the one i love,   but she had her own life and she lived it till the end pleasantly,  i buried her,  and i can make it.   i can move on,  and i can be good while i’m at it.   it won’t be easy,  but i’ll try.

to be honest lmao and this might just be me, but steve going back to have a life with peggy truly destroys all of the characterisation that he’d had throughout the winter soldier ( since he started exercising + adopting latest trends, i.e. all of the signs that he was finally getting comfortable with the modern world and is adapting well ) and then, later, in civil war,  when he’d finally accepted sharon as a romantic interest.   it also clashed a lot with what they’ve pre-determinedly set for peggy in mcu:

peggy talked about a husband whom steve saved in the war.

peggy had already had two children with, i assume, said husband.

peggy, in her tv show, ended with her fully accepting that steve is gone. she’s moved on, as well. it wasn’t easy, but she did it. and she found a new love interest who she seemed to be so happy with.

not to mention, by re-establishing steve/peggy, they also destroyed my good boy’s daniel sousa’s whole character development. which, i guess, nobody but me cared about, but yeah. the lines:

“nobody would trade in a red-white-blue shield for an aluminum crutch.”

direct at sousa was a big insecurity factor to daniel’s self-esteem when he’d wanted to get peggy’s attention.  but later, in spite of that, daniel rose in rank. he was promoted, recognised for his leadership, and through his hardwork and caring nature, he did manage to win peggy’s adoration. it was so, so good. and then mcu is telling me that suddenly daniel didn’t matter at all.  i’m not saying that daniel/peggy were truly endgame because hey, maybe they broke up. maybe sousa didn’t make it and fell in the line of duty, and thus ending the relationship.  buuut. i don’t think it was very nice of them to do that?   like just?  casting a lot of ALL THREE (steve’s, peggy’s, daniel’s) character development away?  however,  they wanted to put a bow and wrap steve’s story (also steve??? just leaving bucky like that??? im??? i have QUESTIONS).   so.  understandable, i suppose.  bye,  steve lmao.

005           tony stark and the whole stark clan broke my heart. tony immediately going by “potts”? amazing. i love him. i cried for him. my friend sobbed after him. AMAZING. it was a GREAT journey just growing up with rdj’s tony and i am HONOURED to be apart of this.

#endgame spoilers #i have a headache but i refuse to shut up #a lot of it are just salts at eeeeeer certain blond hair dude #but eh #ig if ppl like it im not gonna argue further #u do u @ mcu yOU DO YOU #out of character.
