I started watching She-Ra after s5 came out and I kept my friends updated as I went, so here’s a master post of my notes bc I wanted to have them all in one place somewhere

halfway through s1:

I would hang out with Adora all day long

Glimmer must be protected at all costs

I stg it's like Bow was created specifically for me

Shadow Weaver needs to stop being so mean to Catra yesterday

the only cadet whose name I know is Kyle? why

Madame Razz is so great

Perfuma is immediately gay for She-Ra and that's great

Mermista is immediately gay for She-Ra and Seahawk has no idea

I need more Scorpia in my life

Entrapta is such a nerd and I don't care that she can't be trusted

end of s1:

Shadow Weaver's mind games were too much dude 😥

stuff I already knew about Princess Prom (Catra's dope outfit, Noelle & Molly's cameos) only made me love it more

even though I knew something was up my knee-jerk response was indeed "oh shit they cooked Entrapta"

I remember what it was like to be a kid w/ rough parental relationships but damn Glimmer talk to your mom already

the holodeck is NOT messing around

HOLY SHIT SWIFT WIND CAN TALK

Entrapta truly is Chaotic Neutral huh

Netossa and Spinnerella didn't get their own intro episode like the other princesses because why?

Scorpia continues to be wonderful

end of s2:

Frosta as a reflection of s1 Glimmer is great

Swift Wind sings and I can't get enough

when She-Ra looks into the robot and says "hey Catra" I practically had chills

all of the ghost stories Adora heard in the Horde were princess-themed, which is so funny

I LOVE Glimmer's edgy anime/noir take on the fort battle plan AND Bow's 80s-inspired version

I learned the names of the other cadets and IMMEDIATELY forgot

Scorpia really loves Catra, and I almost wish Catadora wasn't endgame??

young Glimmer's dad is voiced by Ezra Bridger

I love Bow's dads (and what a bad actor Adora is lol)

end of s3:

the whole castle only having one spare room is funnier to me than the castle not having a dungeon

Adora sees Huntara's muscles and is very gay

the cropped jacket Catra took really completes her look and I love it

the jacket with the sleeves ripped off really completes Scorpia's look and I love it

everything in the back half of the season is SO intense 😱

oh shit, do I ship Entrapta and Hordak?

I never knew how much I needed a buddy cop adventure with Adora and Scorpia

Angella saying goodbye to Micah was heartbreaking

halfway through s4:

did they just not have a funeral for Angella before Glimmer's coronation? no wonder it was so hard for her

having the shapeshifter character be agender is a master stroke

did Double Trouble just make up Flutterina? if so, how did they infiltrate the party without the whole town going "umm, we don't know who this is?”

why is no one vetting what plants Shadow Weaver can and can't grow?

lbr we should have had a bottle episode with the cadets in s1 or 2

Scorpia's episode broke my heart

end of s4:

Mermista playing detective was a lot of fun

Bow, Swift Wind, and Seahawk on their own is a perfect recipe for disaster and I want more

I feel terrible for poor Razz 😢

Scorpia feeling accepted in Bright Moon even as a prisoner literally made me cry there I said it

MICAH

Light Hope and HAL 9000 would be such a power couple

do Netossa and Spinnerella just not matter? there are only 5 princesses connected to the weapon

holy Shards of Narsil!!!

halfway through s5:

Horde Prime's broadcast across Etheria gave me some Battle of Hogwarts Voldemort vibes (bc art does not exist in a vacuum which is fine)

seeing the supporting cast on a mission of their own was SO GREAT (loving Mermista's leadership and how Scorpia is just part of the team now)

Corridors was SO GOOD

holy crap Ahsoka Tano and Amy Santiago are in She-Ra

Save the Cat was SO GOOD and made me VERY EMOTIONAL

I love Swift Wind's song on the way to Elberon and OH NO SPINNERELLA

end of s5:

everyone's outfits for the Prince Peekablue mission were great (also HOLY SHIT that shot of Scorpia's back 🤯 )

Melog really took one look at Catra and went "yup I'm a cat forever now"

Wrong Hordak learning how to wink is so pure

I legitimately gasped when Netossa cut Bow's bowstring 😅

Adora's immediate snark when Catra jumped through fire to save her 😂😂😂

GLIMBOW

BBEG getting bested by the power of love usually feels tired & lame but holy balls She-Ra fucking earned it, Catadora is SO GOOD

TL;DR I had a really good time marathoning the show, Noelle really made something magical, and I can officially add it to the list of things I wish I could have experienced in real-time

I don’t know what to expect from IX. I’m really hoping it is endgame and they don’t just drop the romance angle, but it’s also kind of what I’m expecting? Like I don’t expect follow-through from it, even though I would love it if it happened

Hi Nonnie,

I totally get it. I understand that completely. Do I think it’s endgame? Yes.

However am I going into IX with any expectations? NOPE. I’m a fandom granny. No seriously I have lived through so many fandoms that I simply go in with no expectations. That way if what I think might happen if even in some small way happens then I will be super happy and overjoyed and if it doesn’t I am usually able to divorce myself from my disappointment and respect the creator’s vision.

As a writer and someone who was professionally trained to do so, I know that creators have a vision. They have an endgame in mind. And they drop breadcrumbs about it from the beginning and if you’re clever enough to see them you usually can figure out any story.

This is why I ruin police procedurals for my mom. My dad and I made a game of it watching Law and Order as a kid growing up (and I mean OG Law and Order with Det. Lenny Briscoe). Whomever could figure out who committed the murder first won. We used to keep a running tally. My dad was really good at it, but when I got really into reading and started reading mystery novels and horror novels and other stories that rely heavily on mystery boxes I started getting better at it. We also watched Law and Order because my two actor 2nd cousins have been guest stars as defense lawyers idk how many times but that’s neither here nor there.

And tbh ESB’s twist of Vader as Luke’s father came as such a shock because IDK if even Lucas really knew he was going to do it until he did it. Luckily the story was vague enough in ANH that a throw away line about certain points of view was enough to close what could have been a crippling plot hole.

My mom is an OG Star wars fan. Mostly bc she loves the pew pew and the lightsaber battles, and secondly because Harrison Ford is a very handsome and talented man (tbh my first crush was Han Solo and second was Indy).

My mom was there when everyone was UP IN ARMS about Leia and Luke kissing. And how that was SOOOOOO going to be endgame. Which originally Lucas had intended that Leia would be a love interest for Luke and that the twin sister would be revealed in 7, 8 and 9 someday. However during writing ROTJ and filming ESB he decided to really hone in on Leia and Han’s chemistry (granted Irving was directing then) but he made the narrative choice to make Leia the sister and Han her love interest. It simultaneously elevated Leia’s narrative importance and made her the leading lady of her own story on equal footing to her equally powerful twin brother instead of just being Luke’s sidekick love interest.

Even when I was a KID and I saw ESB it always kind of made me laugh that Leia’s response to Han goading her about liking him was to smack lips with the only other humanoid male in the room just to prove how NOT smitten she was with Han. (AND if that doesn’t make her simultaneously Padme and Anakin’s child I don’t know what will convince you otherwise).

TPM came out when was was 13 and a half which will be 20 yrs ago next May - HOLY FUCK. And I’ve been an avid reader since I could read so I had gobbled up countless numbers of books by then. I was in the theater with my parents and legit held my hand up over Ian’s eyes and gasped and tugged on my mom’s sleeve.

“Mom that’s THE EMPEROR” and she was like “No honey he’s just a senator who’s now chancellor of the republic”

And this was still in the age of Dial-up internet and no IMDB. So I did my own digging and found our VHS copies of the OT and looked at the cast listing at the end of the movie. And saw the same name playing the Emperor as the man playing Senator-Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. Now the movies in the OT never actually say the Emperor’s real name. He’s just the shadowy, scary Emperor with lightning bolts shooting out of his hands. So like we knew in TPM that Palpy was going to become the emperor. Now say what you will about the Prequels but Lucas did do a fair bit of narrative arc planning with it than what he threw together with the OT.

He knew we had to meet Anakin as a boy, see him as a caring and compassionate individual who is uniquely gifted in the Force. And that had circumstances been different he would have probably been the paragon force sensitive and balanced the force. However due to realistic flaws of all characters, good and bad alike, including flaws within Anakin’s character himself he falls prey to the darkside and it’s temptations and then becomes the very thing he feared.

Tbh next to TLJ, ROTS is right up there with ESB as my favorite in the saga. Sure the dialogue is wooden and clunky. Lucas is not a dialogue director. He’s a vision director. He has a scene in his mind, and he wants it played like that. Which is fine. He also came from a school of thought in the 1970s where sci-fi was pure camp and overdramatic. His style never really changed. The OT is so lauded because he didn’t direct all of them. He had other people come in and he had script doctoring and his first wife in the editing room taking his vision and turning it into a cohesive narrative. We seem to forget that Lucas was a young dude right out of film school when he made ANH. He barely knew how to string a narrative together and the early cuts of ANH were terrible and nowhere near what people saw in the theater. Don’t believe me? Google “how star wars was saved in the editing room” it’s a remarkable story about how Lucas’s first wife and principal editor basically made ANH into an actual story instead of a mish mash of ideas that it was before. The prequels had Lucas at the helm for all three. Yes by then he had gotten a hold of narratively what he wanted to convey, but he still didn’t always convey it in the most efficient ways.

But there are moments in the prequels that I’m stunned by their perfection. “This is how liberty dies? With thunderous applause.” as Padme watches in horror as the Republic becomes an empire before her eyes. It’s perfect to convey the horror she feels and her disgust at what the thing she’s fought for so long to just crumble and slip away.

Or the entirety of the Anakin v. Obi Wan Mustafar battle. Visually STUNNING, and heartbreaking. You can feel how much neither of them want to fight the other but how they both are so entrenched in their now opposite ideologies that they know they have to fight.

I’ve also been a fan of JJ’s for a long time.

Sure he loves mystery boxes but he usually makes the answer SO obvious that most people ignore it.

Like on Lost which I never actually watched save for maybe a few episodes, it’s pretty clear that something metaphysical is going on in that island with the crash. And there are clues dating back to the pilot as to what happened in the finale.

In TFA we’re introduced to Rey. We’re given a mystery box of who is Rey and why is she important and who is her family. But we’re also given the answer. She’s no one. And that’s why she’s important. She is no one. She doesn’t need to have this huge galactic sized legacy on her shoulders to be important, to be special. SHE IS NO ONE. And that’s why the Force chose her as its vessel.

Reason why is that she’s narratively the perfect foil for her counterpart Ben Solo/Kylo Ren. He has all that legacy and weight on his shoulders. They’re equals in power in strength, in light and darkness. They are complete equals. And TFA was all about establishing that fact. Now TLJ was all about deepening that initial connection. To get them both to scratch beneath the surface of one another, and get under one another’s skin. In doing so Ben learned that Rey just wants to belong, to be loved and have a place in the galaxy. And Rey, she learned that Ben is just as lonely, but has rejected his birthright because he felt rejected and abandoned by those who should have unconditionally loved and protected him from Snoke (which granted OT Trio tried but they def didn’t have great parenting examples either sooooo).

Now as an adult Ben is bitter, full of resentment and rage because the people he should have been able to count on fucked up royally. And I love that. I resonate with it because of my own experiences as an abuse survivor too. But even more so because it makes Han, Leia and Luke less perfect legends and more human. It makes them real and relatable that they tried to do everything right by their kiddo but ended up fucking him up. Luke’s betrayal itself was the least shocking part of TLJ tbh. Like does no one remember him going ABSOLUTELY banana balls insane when Vader threatened Leia in ROTJ?

That kind of Skywalker level extra doesn’t just go away with age.

And yeah Ben needed someone in the fam to be like “so kid, um, lets talk about this.” No one in the OT Trio is good at talking about their feelings. Luke tries to control his by just not dealing with it - the kind of thing you’d expect from a “pray the depression away” type. Leia ignores it and bottles that shit until it comes out as thinly veiled anger. And Han is the most ridiculous of the three with his constant hot and cold routine throughout ESB.

The ST is yes about the failures of the OT trio, the failures of the Jedi and the Sith. But it’s also a story about the force and it’s two chosen vessels. A girl from nowhere and the last scion of the Skywalker line. The fact that their connections in TLJ are coded as sexual awakenings is very indicative of where I think this is all going to go. The Force is basically the Skywalker Patriarch if we’re going on the whole immaculate conception with Shmi. And Ben fell from his path for years now thanks to the other Skywalkers falling from the path and inadvertently pushing him down the rabbit hole with Snoke, manipulating everything like a master of puppets.

JJ himself even said he was upset that he didn’t get to direct TLJ because he loved Rian’s script so much.

I have faith we’re going to get a hell of a finish to the 9 film Skywalker saga. With Reylo as endgame or not I think we’re going to get something truly satisfying that links all 9 movies together in a way that will have meta writers writing for years to come about all the parallels and thematic Leitmotifs within the narrative as a whole that encompasses technically 4 generations of Skywalkers (Shmi, Anakin, Luke/Leia, and Ben).

When Ben killed Han in TFA and you get that focused in shot of Adam’s face as the weight of what he just did HITS him and his eyes widen and his lips part, you see the exact moment he shatters his soul realizing that he just seriously fucked up. I leaned over to my best friend that night in the midnight showing and said “do you smell redemption arc?” and I’ve been on that train from day one.

If he were truly irredeemable he wouldn’t have split his spirit to the bone by killing his father. He wouldn’t have cared to try to convince Rey to be her teacher in the middle of their battle. He wouldn’t care that Rey stares at him like she did that night and call him a monster. A real monster wouldn’t care at being called one. And is so very shook and pained by that moniker with his lower lip quiver and his eyes red rimmed. If he were truly irredeemable he wouldn’t have killed his master just to save the girl, he’d have just usurped power and shrugged her off instead of trying to convince her to stay with him. He wouldn’t have addressed her fear and insecurity of being nothing and no one while shaking his head and saying “but not to me”. If he were truly a monster he would have pulled the damn trigger when his had the bridge of the Raddus in his sights but couldn’t because he felt his mother’s love for him even after everything he’s done.

Has he done terrible things? YES. He definitely has. But he has the equal potential for amazing things as much as he has for the terrible things he’s done. And I for one will be happy to see him begin to even slightly embrace that potential by the end of ep 9. Reylo or no Reylo I’m sure I’m going to be happy with ep 9. There’s no way Adam and so many other brilliant actors would have signed on without at least knowing where this is all gonna go. Adam himself was hesitant to take on the burden of SW but was convinced to do so because of the complexity of Ben’s character. That to me says we’re getting something amazing in ep9. And I can’t wait.

Opinion: Jane The Virgin it's losing it's charm. It let me down after episode 10 and I tried to keep watching but it's disappointing me so far. I just feel is not as funny and smart written as it was and it's just reusing storylines. And I'm still not used to the characters now after the 3-year jump, it feels so hurried.

Ok so I know the point of this ask game thing is just to say whether you agree or disagree but I have way too many thoughts about this to just leave it at that. So. In general I agree, at least to a point. And I’ve literally written over 1000 words as a reply so I’m putting it under a readmore bc….whoops…….

Right to start off, I know something everyone used to complain about the crime plots but that was something I really thought was missing at the start of S3. Those plots were usually good at providing drama that really contrasted with Jane’s life and I’d been looking forward to Michael finally going back to work so we’d get them back. Which obviously didn’t happen, and I know we have Dennis and they’re still part of the plot but it’s different from having one of the main characters directly involved.

Something else that definitely hasn’t helped but isn’t necessarily the show’s fault is that we’ve lost side characters because the actors have become involved in other shows - specifically Luisa, Lina and Rose. This limits the interactions we can see, and means that when they’re on the show they don’t get any meaningful longer storylines because they won’t be around for long. This has been a specific problem for Luisa who seems to appear for an episode or two then get sent off to rehab. Rose was a great villain and that’s something else the show’s been lacking, especially since Mutter’s dead though she was never as compelling as Rose.

I remember back in S1 wondering how long the show would last because it seemed unlikely that they would be able to keep generating such elevated plots and ridiculous twists, and I think that’s just part of the nature of the show unfortunately. In that during S1 (and S2 though less so) all the ~telenovela aspects were new and fresh, but they used up a whole bunch of tropes and plotlines, and also we’ve just got more used to it and better at predicting what will happen. That’s not to say repeated elements don’t always work - the Anezka twist at the end of ch39 completely caught me off guard despite the Roman/Aaron plot in S1. I had thought that Rafael finding out he wasn’t a Solano would be an opening for more telenovela plots, possibly involving the art theft and Italian orphanage, but instead it fed the more grounded emotional plots in that it made Raf want to turn over a new leaf. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and that’s not to say it won’t lead to those plots in the future, but considering that the show seems to be lagging a bit in its telenovela side it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity.

Which brings us to ch54, Michael’s death, and the time jump. Considering what I’ve said about plots running out it made sense that they needed to shake things up, and Jennie said Michael’s death was the mid-show equivalent to Jane’s insemination in that it was an event that completely turned Jane’s life upside down and changed what she’s imagined her future to be. And it certainly did that but I do think it also did several things that hurt the story. Firstly, it just added to the problem I talked about with the show losing characters and so losing different interactions and relationships to explore. Brett said after the end of S2 that he’d love Michael to have more scenes with Alba and see what the relationship is there, and personally that was a relationship it really hoped we’d get to see, especially after those vows. Losing characters hits harder when they’re part of the main cast. Then we also lost our main connection to the police side of all the telenovela crime drama. And as well as losing a telenovela aspect we also lost many more grounded potential storylines. What’s Michael’s role in bringing Mateo up as he gets older? How do they deal with the difference between Mateo, who’s constantly moving between parents, and JM’s potential future child(ren) who would live with them all the time? Would we get to see Rogelio take Michael, Rafael and Mateo out on an over-the-top Father’s Day bonding adventure? Idk, it just feels like there were so many more potential storylines to mine from that family.

Then there’s the issue of trying to use the death in the same way as the insemination. The problem comes from the fact that they gave the show very different things. The whole show sprung up from Jane’s insemination. The show would not exist without it and the whole show since then has been dealing with the consequences of this event. We got to see the very real and emotional effects, the difficulties it caused and how hard it could be, really letting Gina flex her acting muscles, but it was also a ridiculous telenovela event that could be used as a source of humour and ultimately ended up being one of the best things to happen to Jane. And the problem with using Michael’s death to similarly shake up her life is it only provides the first half of that, the difficult, emotional side. It’s not something that can be joked about or used for fun drama.

And so then we have the time jump. I absolutely understand why they decided to have the jump, if the show had gone straight into the period after his death it would have been too dark for the show, and the jump lets us see the long-term effects. Unfortunately though, they literally killed their protagonist’s husband after they were married for 7 months. They created a situation where the consequences are dark and difficult and heartbreaking. And so while I appreciate that we’re seeing Jane still affected by it after three years, we need to see more of this difficult stuff that the show made for itself. I’ve already rambled a lot about this here so I won’t get into that again but if the show’s going to use this death supposedly to be a mid-show insemination equivalent, it mustn’t shy away from the situation it’s made for itself. And I’m not saying the show isn’t showing Jane’s grief but I don’t think it’s changed enough or doing it in a way that justifies killing him in the first place.

In fact the biggest change to the show that’s come from Michael’s death is the time jump. And honestly, outside Jane’s story I do think it’s done the show good. It’s refreshed a lot of storylines and from a practical pov has made sure they have good kid actors instead of just hoping that Aiden (who played young Mateo) turned out to be a good actor. And you know what? I think the time jump would have been a great thing to happen to show without Michael dying. Because then you haven’t lost one of the pieces in the game, just rearranged them. Rather than carrying the weight of showing Jane moving out of deep grief, the flashbacks would help fill in the gaps better for more characters. Everyone would be in a new place and there wouldn’t be the weird rushed disconnect there is now where the show has gone from an incredibly traumatic event back to near-normality in the space of less than an episode.

I know this all sounds really negative. I do appreciate how the show has decided to tell a story of coming back after having dealt with terrible grief and I don’t want to fully judge how good a job it’s done until the end of the season, and even without quite the same spark as the start it’s a fantastic show. I’ve tried to be as objective as possible with this and look at the show without thinking about personal opinions of characters etc (though I am incredibly bitter and sad about Michael’s death for non-storytelling reasons), and I think that the heightened and balanced nature of the show at the start has made a bit of a fall inevitable. But it’s done a damn good job of trying to keep as close to that place as possible, even if that has included missteps or repeated storylines. I’ve still loved every episode so far, not all as much as each other, but there is yet to be an episode I dislike. And so yes, it has lost a bit of its charm and it’s made decisions I’m disappointed in, but as a whole I still think it’s a clever and important show that I love. And long may that last.

#dude...this is literally as long as the essay I'm meant to be writing right now I have way too many opinions about this show #I've really tried to be as objective as possible for most of this #gonna put it in the tags since I put so much effort into this I hope it makes sense #jane the virgin #jtv #upslapanswer #ramblings #anon

extensive avengers: endgame spoilers under the cut, literally most big tony moments are gonna be mentioned!!!

so. tony and nebula? really really sweet, they start the movie (after the intro w/ clint) off with tony teaching nebula some kinda game and it’s so precious, also how tony is all holding out the last of their rations to her and she just pushed it back over to him so he eats it;; them fixing the ship together and nebula fixing tony and after he’s finished his message to pepper he loses conciousness and she puts him in the seat all careful, yeah. and then carol shows up and he wakes up bc bright ofc and she gets them back to the compound!!!! i love my girl ;;;;

so right, at the compound? tony and nebula are slowly making their way out the ship and steve is there first and shit, the first words tony says when he’s back on earth are ‘i lost a kid’ like 😭😭😭

god and then when he snaps at everyone like ‘i saw this coming ten years ago but nobody would listen’ and tore cap a new one, god bless him i have never been more in love;;;

and then it’s all ‘5 years later’ and tony steps out of a cabin (at this point writing this i burst into tears again my heart hurts so bad) and walks over to a tent and calls for someone to come eat and out comes a lil baby girl (holding the rescue helmet!!!!) and he and his precious little daughter morgan have the cutest thing i swear, cap nat and bruce show up then to talk about time travel and tony is all like ‘no, i’ve got something precious here and i’m not risking it’ all while holding morgan and i’m just. yeah. and then when he puts morgan to bed the whole thing when she says ‘i love you three thousand’ and he’s like ‘wow. three thousand. amazing. if you don’t go to sleep rn i’m gonna burn all your toys goodnight love u’ and then walks out? amazing. all to then go downstairs to pepper and be like ‘morgan said she loves me three thousand, you were at what, 600 last?’ precious;;;;;; and then he figured the time travel thing out and got his ass over to the compound and was all like ‘let me guess, you got old and then young’ and steve had to be like ‘yeah we couldn’t manage it without you’

the whole going back in time to get the stones thing was happening and idk there wasn’t much about going back to 2012 but then he and steve had to go even further back and tony talked to his father (calling himself howard potts in his haste to come up with a name aw bless him;;) and it was. a lot.

also can i just say that seeing tony really malnourished and so so so tiny at the beginning at the movie was so heartbreaking but then after the 5 years he looked so good, fatherhood is such a look on him 😊😊

so then they got all the stones and he made the glove for it yadda yadda the hulk snapped and got everyone back but due to something with nebula thanos knew so he time travelled to after the hulk snapped and attacked the compound so then a big fight with first just the original avengers was happening but then a ton of portals opened and all the magic users got literally everyone somehow involved, everyone who vanished in the snap and all the wakandan people and the asgardians (valkyrie djasyflda yes!!! also pepper as rescue!!!!! the guy i went to see it with was looking forward to this the most so we were both like :O at each other lol) and the guardians on the battle field and that was the most epic scene ever!!!!!

and when peter made it through (crying again at this point, though it it about 5 hours after the last time i cried cause i took a nap inbetween writing this lmao) he swung up to tony and tony just looked at him while peter was rambling about ‘mr stark remember when we were in space and we vanished but then suddenly i was back and dr strange was there and- mr stark?’ at which point tony hugged peter, his son that he’s been missing every day for 5 fucking years and is the reason he sat himself down to work on the time travel thing after he looked at the picture of him and peter with the internship paper so. and then peter was like ‘mr. stark. this is nice’ while being hugged and i got so fucking happy bc heck yes this is our new anthem but then. oh but then.

fighting and fighting and stuff happened (instant kill mode??? a look) and at some point tony looked at stephen and was like ‘pls tell me this is the one’ but stephen was like ‘if i tell you it could mess with everything’ and then some time later stephen and tony were looking at each other again and stephen just lifted one finger to signal that yes, this is it. which hardened tonys resolve and i don’t remember what happened inbetween but basically tony thor and steve were fighting thanos after carol already beat the shit out of him to get a hold of the glove but thanos did and he was about to snap but tony touched him at least and it transferred the stones from the glove to his iron man armor so thanos went to snap and was like ‘i am inevitable’ and snapped but it didn’t work bc tony had the stones so tony looked him and went ‘i am. iron man’ and snapped to erase all of thanos’ army and followers (crying fit number three at this point) and tony’s body couldn’t handle it all so he fell to the ground and rhodey was the first to get to him and then there was peter all like ‘mr stark please, please don’t go’ or something and as pepper got there he called him tony 😭😭 and pepper was all ‘it’s okay. you can rest now’ and tony fucking died. and i cried so much in the cinema but the scene was really quiet so i had to try to not just burst out sobbing which was so fucking hard but i managed. like i knew there was a very big possibility of it happening but i still wasn’t prepared and it hurts so much that’s the love of my life 😭😭 and while they showed the funeral and all the people paying their respects, which was literally everyone (including harley!!!) watched while pepper let the ‘proof that tony stark has a heart’ plaque float away over the lake at their house, they played the recording tony made for everyone the night before it all happened just in case and at the end of that they showed his projection walk over to morgan and tell her he loved her three thousand. god it hurts people. ah fuck.

anway they then panned to morgan and happy sitting on a bench on the porch and happy was all like ‘you okay, you hungry’ to which morgan replied ‘yeah i am’ and happy asked what she wanted and she said ‘a cheeseburger’ and if you remember that’s the first thing tony said after coming back from afghanistan so fucking thanks guys, i’m good.

ugh idk i think the last thing was just getting the stones back to where they were when they took them which steve did and he also said fuck it and apparently lived a happy life with peggy so when he came back a few seconds after they sent him back he was all old and gave sam the shield. was that all for actual movie? oh wait oops they also showed peter going back to school and seeing ned again and he looked bad and that killed all my excitement for far from home lmao i’m not ready to watch that especially if i can’t be sure they actually deal with tony dying in it.

yeah i guess that was it for movie but the credits were so fucking pretty too ugh :(( for the og avengers they had really long clips where first they showed the actors signature while the actors name faded in and in the background was a montage of character moments and rdj was the last one to show of course :((

and yeah, instead of an end credit scene they showed the marvel logo and playing the sound of someone molding metal over it, so probably tony working on his first iron man armor i’d bet bc that would hurt the most

so that’s it and now i’m sobbing bc i miss him so much already i can’t believe that’s just it now. no more tony.

and i am seriously mourning him which is just so ridiculous but goddamn it hurts so much

what also really sucks is that tony in endgame is my favourite. his character has evolved so much and you can see it so clearly in this movie and i think that’s what makes it hurt so much? bc here’s this character a lot of people have been following for years and years and you see him in endgame and then you think back to the first iron man and think ‘is this really the same person?’ and i for one am so in awe of his journey and how far he’s come and it hurts that he finally had the son he’d been mourning for half a decade back only to then die himself after only just as much time with his daughter

#sorry lmao i just had to get it out #pls don't read if you've yet to watch endgame!!!!#.log
