I have to say this now, because Sherlock Holmes is trending and I am celebrating more than I did this Christmas. I watched Knives Out and Glass Onion and it made me realise something crucial about Holmes. He is fundamentally a good person. Does he sometimes behave a little bit like he doesn't care? Yeah. And does he solve cases because he wants the thrill and the mystery? Yep. But I would argue that he mainly solves cases because he wants to help people. His first case was when he helped his friend. Later we see multiple instances of this happening again and again (him being a genuinely good person). I have said it once and I will say it a million times— Sherlock Holmes is interesting because he is a smart guy who is NOT an asshole. He is (mostly) considerate to people, and their feelings. He takes cases to help people. The prime example that springs to mind is Copper Beeches, where he didn't think Violet Hunter had anything interesting to say about her case. But he still agreed to hear her out. And many times, he has done things for people, solved their mysteries without any money. Now you could say that he is not concerned about money at all, except we have seen him squeeze the king of Bohemia. He takes high profile cases to pay the bills, normal cases to solve puzzles, and the really simple mysteries because he wants to help people. I may have talked about this in another post and used the example of Twisted Lip, and Blue Carbuncle to say how he let criminals (of a sort) go solely based on his moral judgement.

The reason why I bring this up in the same breath as the Knives Out films is because of Benoit Blanc's character. That man is very polite unless he absolutely needs to be rude or has been driven to the ends of his patience. You know, like a normal person? And I loved how it just completely avoided the trope most modern mysteries, crime thrillers, and detective stories fall into. I like to call the trope "The Genius Asshole Syndrome". And it just sort of stigmatises really really smart people for not having social skills by twisting them into something mean and uncaring. And so many modern adaptations of Sherlock Holmes fall into that. And yes, BBC is one of them. So do the Ritchie!verse movies. They make Sherlock Holmes act flippant towards other people, because such a genius cannot possibly care for the normal people. He cannot possibly appreciate other different versions of smart, because he is obviously a genius and a genius is always an asshole, and not empathetic at all. So it was really refreshing to see a detective who cared about his clients, and vulnerable people. It was nice to see a detective get angry on behalf of a defenceless person. And it was very nice to see a detective not wanting to fuck a female client who is maybe half his age. (Plus the gay thing worked out great). I really feel like we need more genuinely good, kind, and helpful people in fiction, and now that Sherlock Holmes is completely in public domain, we can hopefully get something that is faithful to his actual character instead of the two dimensional grim dark detective dynamic. And maybe modern media can give us other detectives who are actually human, and have all basic human emotions? Just a thought.

And like THAT we learned the cast for MCUs Fantastic Four and by extent.....Johnny Storm *shudders* God save us all from the Mouse and from how fucked the Johnny Storm (and also SpideyTorch) tag is gonna be once the movie comes out.

we are going to get SO MUCH johnny storm porn lads

#sci speaks #it's what he would want. #i'll admit i'm actually. kind of really excited for the f4 movie if they're going for this cutesy 60s retro-futurist domestic aesthetic. #please please please. pleeeeeaaaaseeeeeeee! 🙏 #i don't think pedro has mr fantastic energy at all. they just cast him for the thirst of it all. #but interested to see a reed richards that fans might actually like. reed has never been. well. very beloved. #but with pedro playing him... the game will change. #he'll be like. what rdj did for tony stark probably. nobody liked tony until rdj lbr. #i wonder who the villain will be in this movie. god i hope it's not doom. sorry to doom. #i love doom but dear god do we need an f4 movie that just leaves doom ALONE.

kay!! have you seen the recent bobsai outing?? he looks like a lil frog with a leaf on its head. or a mushroom covered in moss?? dunno, he's just all earthy, cottagecore tones. bobbagecore?? i need your judgment on this!

when it comes to Bobsai our question is never “what is he wearing?” and always “what is he?”

he is a lime tree and he is blooming 🍋🌳

#okay i’m sad there’s no lime emoji so that will have to do #bobsai #which is really just a subset of #bob #frog with a leaf on his head is soooo true tho and so cute #the rdj spectrum #soliloquent-stark #ask

So...I found my old collection of chibis I made. I used to glue them to my shelves when I was younger.

I'm surprised how little changed when it comes to the characters/people I like. Close ups under the cut

Three pairs of Holmes and Watson: Soviet/Russian Holmes, RDJ!Holmes and Granada Holmes

Nick and Gatsby...I love them.

Beastars, Vocaloid and Yuzuru and Seiryo from Seven Days

German TV hosts Joko and Klaas and Jan Böhmermann

Scar and Ryan from HSM

Asian musicians: の子 from 神聖かまってちゃん, Tatsurou from Mucc and 薛之谦

Did Oscar just broadcast two asian actors get flat out ignored by two white actors? Acting like an Asian person doesn't exist is the most common form of racism against Asians.

#oscars #emma stone #robert downey jr #especially rdj #asians in Western countries would know that subtle and weird feeling being your existence ingored #can't really scream out racism but you feel it that it's because your asian #you're

Jimmy Kimmel making vile jokes at the expense of a person recovered from substance misuse is cruel.

It's not funny, it's cruel. Stop punching down. He's spent 50 years struggling with substances, he's been clean for well on a decade and you pull this shit on the night he is nominated (and wins!!!) an Oscar?

fuck you, Jimmy Kimmel.

#why does jimmy kimmel have a job #stop targeting people with abuse issues #RDJ was very well behaved considering how nasty Kimmel was. #oscars 2024 #robert downey jr #I have my issues with RDJ (mainly blackface and supporting Mel Gibson and other really problematic people) but no one fucking deserves this #jimmy kimmel is a dick #why does this arsehole have a fucking job #it's not funny if you're punching down #it's not funny to go after recovered addicts #jimmy kimmel is an absolute arse #fuck you jmmy kimmel #wtf are you doing #what is wrong with you

would Tom Cruise be a good Tony Stark

Well damn, Anii. You've asked me The Question. Right to the chase. And you didn't even buy me dinner first.

To put it bluntly, no. This is no criticism to TC's acting chops of course, the thing just is, Tony Stark is an incredibly, extremely, tremendously difficult character to play.

The reason being, Tony Stark can VERY EASILY become an unlikeable, hard to empathize with character. (It's the point of why he was created - look it up, it's fascinating. He was an experiment meant to make an unlikeable character likeable). This is mostly due to his cocky outer persona. There's an inner kindness and empathy to him that's VITAL to his character. And if the audience can't see that in him, they won't be able to connect with him.

RDJ is so perfect for the role because he is so similar to Tony Stark in so many ways. He had a redemption story that mirrored the character's, so he was able to empathize. He also operates in a very similar way to Tony. He's very charismatic and sharp, but he's genuinely a kind human being.

It's much easier to play a character that's very similar to who you are as a person. So for a character that's as hard to play as Tony Stark, it fits to cast someone who has had a similar experience.

I don't doubt Tom Cruise's ability to look inside a character and give them a heart and an inner life separate from the outer persona, and make them 3 dimensional, as we've seen him do this before.

I just think that because Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise, we would watch Tony Stark (played by TC), and it would be very difficult to look past his outer persona and see that inner kindness shining underneath.

Also, RDJ is the only person in the world who can play Anthony Edward Stark aside from me. Hope this helps <33

#last part was kind of a joke bc I love rdj so much its insane #but thank you so much for the ask anii genuinely I love talking about actors #idk if I really got my point across but there it is to the best of my ability #I think about this alternate universe sometimes though #it haunts me #in a good way or a bad way im not sure #but I love rdj #tony stark #robert downey jr #iron man #rdj #tom cruise

Re: Sun on the sun and Moon on the moon, what about Sun on the moon? Definitely imaging him skipping around in low gravity having a blast...

What is it like, I wonder, to see the world for the first time? To see your home in a way you never could have imagined, from a vantage point so terribly far away that the mere thought makes you dizzy. And how wonderful it is to share that moment - a quiet moment following a roaring wind - with the ones you love the most.

I think it would be nice.
