I maintain that Steve's arc in Endgame was one of the sloppiest pieces of garbage I've ever seen. You really expect us to believe that Peggy is Steve's true love after all the years he spent with Nat at his side? I call major bs.😡

The Gray Man (2022) and Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

Directors Joe and Anthony Russo, writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, and composer Henry Jackman have all come together again to present Netflix’s The Gray Man. I, for one, am super pumped.

(Top right screencap is from the Russo-directed Captain America: Civil War)

An excerpt from my Captain America music paper, for I just made a seriously disgusting discovery:

"The other appearance of the breaking-up-of-the-Avengers theme is during the Siberia fight, where it is played twice. The first time it plays is when Friday tells Tony, “You can’t beat [Steve] hand to hand,” and it continues as Tony tells Friday to analyze his fight pattern and she does it, up until Friday says, “Countermeasures ready,” and Tony grabs Steve’s shield. The second time it plays is shortly after Steve disables Tony’s suit, and shortly before Steve, exhausted and injured, slides off Tony’s suit and onto the ground; this plays until Steve helps Bucky off the ground and starts to walk away with him. Now, as the previous use of the Avengers-breakup theme helps show that Civil War was more of an Avengers movie than a Cap movie, this use actually happens to show how the film is more of an Iron Man movie than either of those other two. For considering that the theme was obviously meant to have the most impact after Steve broke the arc reactor, the fact that it first shows up a little before then is quite notable: and when exactly it shows up is very revealing. It first appears when Tony does not exactly have the upper hand (though Steve is doing no damage despite pummeling Tony’s suit), but then it stops when Friday allows Tony to get the upper hand over Steve and seriously hurt him, and then it resumes again when Steve is able to thwart Tony and disable his suit.

Such use of the music that symbolizes the Avengers team splintering seems to be the movie implying that if Tony had won the fight, whatever fracture the Avengers were experiencing would be less severe, but it is solidified now that Steve won the fight. Now, this is very much not true, as the entire Siberia fight was literally Tony trying to kill Bucky because he was upset, while Bucky tried to avoid this and Steve defended Bucky: and while Tony did some really despicable things throughout the movie, successfully killing Bucky and/or Steve while he was having a temper tantrum is something he would never be able to come back from. But considering the lengths the movie went to to try to make it seem like Tony was justified in doing this and not acting monstrously, it is not surprising that these fraudulent efforts extended to the music. And curiously, the Avengers-breakup theme does not play when Tony provokes Steve into dropping the shield, even though that is much more symbolic of the Avengers breaking up than Steve preventing Tony from killing him and Bucky. But that, too, might have painted Tony in a bad light, and the movie avoided such a thing at all costs. Civil War is seriously messed up."

Truly, the more one examines this mockery of a Captain America film, the more it becomes clear just how thoroughly rotten this movie is, and how it is most definitely not Cap 3.

why steve&bucky being artsy people matters (to me)

Steve, canonly an artist; Bucky, canonly a book nerd and possibly an art student as well

and I cannot stress enough how much that means to me

I know people, including myself, have written so many metas about them being female coded but this is important as well.

hypermasculine heroes and the sentimental art & literature don't usually go together. usually when the hero appreciates art it is usually a plot device and they come off as snub and arrogant (look at our protagonist, how knowledgeable he is!).

heroism in MCU seems to be exclusively tied to masculine traits such as good at math and physical strength, and the former usually is valued more than the latter, especially when the 'brain' of the Avengers are always stem bros, even Thor knows his space science in Ragnorok. if you don't know how to build a rocket, throw one, flex those biceps, that'll show the audience how heroic you are.

for example, magic was ridiculed for being feminine in Thor 1. Steve in catfa is specially shown to be clever, he was street smart, but that doesn't really count, does it? after all, everything special about him came from a bottle, right?

even the female love interests in Marvel are often masculine: Jane is a scientist. Peggy & pre-serum Steve's dynamic was also a reversal of traditional male/female role since her introduction was focused on her superior status and physical strength.

the idea that one has to be stem smart to be smart is discriminatory and sexist. more importantly, men don't get sentimental nor do they appreciate art, male heroes aren't supposed to be associated with feminine traits and/activities.

but Steve has always been an artist, he is always emotional and sentimental and he CARES so much. I'm sure Bucky was good at stem but at the end of the day, he's a nerd, he likes books and music, he probably took art class simply bc he LIKED it. they were also shown to express emotional support for others, something often missing from male/masculine characters.

Steve and Bucky's superpower is literally just super strong. taken at face value it's the most simplistic, masculine superpower there is. they fit every stereotypical male hero trope but somehow they just AREN'T that.

#bucky barnes #steve rogers #stevebucky #I love my Brooklyn boys #stem dudebros can go fuck themselves #we need liberal art!#one of the reasons why they get along with Sam #Steve and Bucky are so female coded #they are basically women #Markus and McFeely wrote the most female coded male characters ever #and they didn't even realize it #dude what the hell

Unhappy Anniversary

So going by my Facebook memories it is exactly six years ago today that I went to see Infinity War.

I'd already heard rumours. I was fully prepared, and yet nothing actually prepared me for how much I felt completely slapped in the face in those first 10 or so minutes.

And still all these years later I've never found a satisfactory answer to several questions: did the writers/directors appreciate he was a fan favourite who people expected to be involved majorly in the plot? Do those same writers/directors even care that they upset a not insignificant part of the fanbase? Why couldn't they come up with literally anything else other than that? Do they know it was graphically over the top cruel for the franchise? I also can't believe Tom was dragged on a world tour for this shit. Imagine having to do that knowing your character is killed before the cold open like that character doesn't even matter anymore. I would've been way more distant than he was, I would've told everyone to shove it.

MCU’s Biggest Problem

It is time for the MCU to get rid of the Sokovia Accords. NOW. Ever since its debut in “Captain America: Civil War”, it has done squat for the franchise. Writers for the franchise have either mishandled this narrative device in movies and television shows like “Civil War”, “Ant-Man & the Wasp” and “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” with sloppy or implausible writing; or have completely ignored it. Worse, moviegoers are still expected to believe that an accord is a law (it’s not). I get the feeling that Kevin Feige, writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, and the writers for “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” and other MCU projects do not know the definition of “accord”. Also, Feige and his writers, along with Mutant Enemy and its writers have failed to grasp that the Sokovia Accords is basically a violation of the U.S. Constitution, something I had immediately knew six years ago. Are fans of the MCU really expected to believe that it is okay for any government to strictly monitor, harass or imprison people from a certain group, due to the actions of a handful of individuals from that particular group? Isn’t that a form of bigotry? Are you telling me that Kevin Feige, Marvel Films, Disney Studios and the Mutant Enemy production company are advocates of bigotry after all? If not . . . find a way to finally get rid of the Sokovia Accords.

at least once a week and sometimes more often I am filled with rage about how many missed opportunities there were in the Time Heist

like, it’s a ridiculous concept! so roll with it! why didn’t y’all do anything INTERESTING.

#maybe after horizon I will write a 'five things that didn't happen in the time heist' fic #steve meeting howard (and tony seeing the absolute unthinking and total trust howard still has in steve even thirty years later)#2023 natasha vs. 2018 natasha because we deserved a black widow vs. black widow fight #another alternate solution to the vormir problem #scott and rocket having delightful heist adventures #(scott and rocket should have been allowed to do the entire time heist on their own)#bedlam watches the mcu #more seriously I genuinely think one of the problems with iw and endgame is that they needed a high fantasy director #and the russos do not do high fantasy #(don't ask me what was going on with markus and mcfeely; I found out the other day they also did all three narnia films #and suddenly a LOT of things make sense about why the cap films work/don't work for me just like lww/pc/votdt work/don't work for me)

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)

Adapting C. S. Lewis’ classic novel into a live-action film was a daunting task. It would’ve been impossible a decade ago, but finally, the technology required to make it happen is here. The results have been worth the wait.

Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund (Skandar Keynes), and Lucy Pevensie (Georgie Henley) are evacuated to the country home of Professor Kirke (Jim Broadbent) to escape the dangers of World War II. While playing hide-and-go-seek, Lucy stumbles upon a wardrobe like none other: its doors lead to the realm of Narnia. Inside this land where winter has no end, the cruel White Witch (Tilda Swinton) rules, but her “subjects” know it’s only a matter of time before two daughters of Eve and two sons of Adam, along with the lion Aslan (voiced by Liam Neeson) comes to their rescue.

Between the extended version, which runs a mere 5 minutes longer than the theatrical cut, and the one you saw in theaters, I say go with the original. The additional footage doesn’t add much. The most noticeable change are a few quick shots of the White Queen sending harpies into battle (they look decent, but I suspect they were cut because they stand out against the rest of her army). My only other significant criticism (applicable to both versions) is that, at times, the child actors are only so-so. The exception is Skandar Keynes, who brings depth to Edmund - a character that could’ve easily been one-dimensional. You can forgive this flaw in the same way you did in the early Harry Potter films, but it’s worth noting.

This is a great family film. It’s got exciting battle scenes and likable characters both adults and children can relate to. C.S. Lewis’ story could’ve easily been lost in the flurry of special effects, but amid the crazy creatures and exotic locations, the heart and drama that made this story a favorite remain. Surrounding the child actors and amplified by special effects are a great cast of seasoned performers, including James McAvoy, Ray Winstone, Dawn French and Michael Madsen. There was care poured into this picture, and it shows.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe has something for everyone. Lovers of fantasy will be impressed by the mythological creatures (which include everything from great-looking centaurs and griffins to hideous monsters at the service of the White Witch). Children will enjoy the whimsical story, the frequent close calls as our heroes dodge danger at every turn, and the character growth. Adults will love Tilda Swinton as the villain, who always remains the most imposing and frightening figure on-screen. They’ll also admire the handling of this sophisticated story. It’s a plot complex enough to keep you entertained, but not so much that young audiences won’t be able to keep up.

The Chronicles of Narnia makes me think of The NeverEnding Story; another fantasy adventure that compliments its source material by bringing the visuals to stunning life and preserving what made the story endure. I'll even call it "good for the kids" because it takes them seriously. There are intense moments that allows for a full range of emotions but its tried-and-true themes mean young ones won't be overwhelmed. When you catch it, make sure you stick around for the credits. There’s a scene midway hinting at more to come. (Extended version on DVD, July 21, 2017)

The Gray Man Review

The Gray Man is touted as the most expensive movie that Netflix has produced for an original movie. It is based off of the 2009 book of the same name. This movie has been floating around Hollywood since the 2010’s. At one point Brad Pitt was even supposed to star. So finally The Russo Brothers, still hot off of directing Avengers: Endgame, have brought their talents to the project and got the…

From a statement I read during vol 3 press 2014Gamora isn't a variant. She's not from a different timeline or universe or reality. She's just from the past. That's why there isn't a multiverse issue for her.

here we go again with the consequences of endgame's quirky time travel rules....i'm so tired of endgame's inconsistent time travel getting to exist with no ramifications irl or in-universe 😭 like i don't blame gunn for not treating gamora as a variant bc he didn't even choose to bring 2014!gamora into the main mcu timeline in the first place but the lack of consistency with the time/timeline travel from endgame onward is just driving me bananas

#like how are you gonna have endgame be the first thing to go into time travel and exploring other times right before the multiverse era #and just have none of the rules consistent with each other...help #also the russos and markus/mcfeely don't even agree on whether it was a separate timeline or not in endgame so the whole thing is just #a mess #ask #the gamora situation
