I've been posting about it everywhere but Tumblr is going to get a quick n dirty review of Challengers aka the horny Zendaya tennis movie for those who might have only seen a trailer or memes.
What a goddamn masterpiece.
I expected it to be wild, but wasn't familiar anyone involved's game. Also didn't realize the soundtrack was a Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross production. Made sense when the credits rolled.
It was bold with its story structure in a perfect "you have to know the rules to break them" way, where you clearly get the way it bounces back and forth in time, with the distance between past and present getting shorter and shorter in a way that the climactic final set of the tennis match mirrors. Not only is it not cumbersome, the timing adds to the impact of events as they unfold. Wonderful work.
The exploration of a world-class athlete who is driven by the singular purpose of greatness is thrilling and heartbreaking.
It's extremely queer and, in particular, the energy between the two male leads in this uncertain rivalry / totally just bromance feels embarrassingly authentic. It mirrored some of my real experiences in ways that nothing really has before. Not always in comfortable or happy ways, but ways that felt familiar all the same.
You couldn't have forced me to watch a tennis flick without the wild unhinged energy they show in the trailer and it's so much more than that. I had several laugh out loud, throw my hands up in shock, stifled gasp type of moments. All genuine and earned.
Also, Zendaya has always been dope, but this was my "oh she can ACT act" moment. Girl wasn't fucking around. I hope this opens many other people's eyes, and she gets some roles that let her stretch her legs even more.
If you were on the fence, or worried it was set up to be a giant meme...nah man. It's fucking cinema. Top 10 all time for me. Will be watching in theater again.

help me choose a pet name for Avery to call Nate 😭
Avery doesn't like most pet names (they remind her of Bobby/feel insincere)...and I'm not sure if she would even like these ones tbh but at least they kind of fit in some way?

i respect people who like to see izutsumi as chilchuck's straight up adopted daughter post-canon but personally i like to see it a bit differently. like the fatherdaughterism is THERE but it remains unspoken forever. she does her own things and probably wouldn't confine herself to one spot. im sure she bounces around between all the main party members, whenever she's not on her own adventures. i find it more interesting to see their relationship as like...coming and going. she shows up at chilchuck's house or his shop at random, and stays for days at a time, and after a while they're able to fall into a routine as if it's second nature. they don't even talk all that much. their silences are comfortable. when she takes off again, he doesn't say anything sappy. he says something like "don't go eating a bunch of junk." or "don't go out of your depth and get yourself killed. this isn't the dungeon, you won't be resurrected." she hardly responds and leaves. she'll return again, maybe weeks or months later, and she'll stay for either a few hours or for a few days. and he'll appreciate the company without ever really saying it. and so it goes on

i do just have to say though.................... i feel like people who really really loved the movie's portrayals of the characters are adding aspects of the show characters onto them? you know what i mean? like i see people say that adrien and marinette were more likeable in the movie than the show, when movie adrien didn't perform a single act of kindness in the entire 2 hours despite kindness being a core trait of adrien in the show? marinette was normal and not particularly weird at all and just kind of a generic protagonist? were adrien and marinette actually more interesting in the movie than the show, or are you just cherrypicking the aspects of them you like the from the show and putting them on the movie characters to make your favorite amalgamation?
marinette fell for adrien not because he showed vulnerability and forgiveness and kindness and opened his heart up to her.... but because he awkwardly tried to help her up after being kind of weirded out by her? so like i guess she thought he was hot and that was basically it? chat noir fell for ladybug not because she was strong and confident and showed determination in the face of fear... but because she begrudgingly helped him up in the middle of a battle? so like i guess he thought she was hot and that was basically it? they fell for each other over just the bare minimum interactions? most of their relationship was a montage? like, did the movie do the work to convince you of lovesquare's romantic potential, or did you go into the movie already shipping them because the show had already convinced you?
thats totally a valid way to enjoy the movie ftr! i'm just saying.... idk it's weird to see people praising the movie for being "better" when i feel like a lot of the enjoyment of the movie actually hinges on watching the show as context for their characters. and i guess im just a cringe slow-burn enjoyer but i find it weird that people are using "faster" as a synonym for "better"

My mum & I have been debriefing abt the new protocol episodes and decided to look up the meanings of the names Chester, Norris and Augustus...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Together they quite literally mean 'Great Northern Fortress'. The main definition of Chester also states that it 'can be spotted as a placename element in cities like Manchester', where the institute WAS in this universe.
Their names literally mean the Magnus Institute. A Great Northern Fortress.
