Some more Secret Invasion stuff

Here's a screencap of Nick Fury at the end of No Way Home he's got his eyepatch and looks svelte. Here is Nick Fury in the first episode of Secret Invasion. He's emphasizing his gray hair, wearing layers to make himself look out of shape, pretending to limp.

I believe Maria Hill when she says he's not ready for the fight in Secret Invasion but I think that's mental, not physical or capability-wise.

He's definitely trying to get Gravik (and possibly Sonya?) to underestimate him. But unclear how much he is playing (like is it possible Maria Hill's death was a fake to make Gravik feel complacent? Winter Soldier Nick Fury faked his own death so it's possible).

I don't know if we will find out what's really going on with him until we meet his wife. (She has been cast. But how many episodes Priscilla is in isn't known.)

I do think we'll see a triumhant return of the eye patch scene since we know he wears it in The Marvels.

PS. Anyone know what was going on with Hill that she trusted the Skrull!Ross? Is "SHIELD" just a group of spies on the run now? I don't understand what happened to that organization. Because everyone thinks it's destroyed in Winter Soldier, when Hill went undercover with the Avengers. But the TV series made us think there was some remaining infrastructure. But I'm not sure if any of that is canon now!

Considering that Sharon Carter got left in the lurch according to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and SWORD existed as an evil organization in WandaVision, it doesn't seem like SHIELD is much of anything on Earth anymore.

Was Maria just trying to do something about the Skrulls by herself until Ross popped up and said he'd help since he was on the run now. And she was just like "Oh cool." (He's probably really chillin in Wakanda rn, although still a chance he'll pop up in one of those pods the Skrulls keep the humans in to get their memories but I have trouble believing Okoye would allow him to be taken.)

ETA: Also Nat had to ask her fixer for a plane and help in Black Widow. Not SHIELD? Not Maria?

What if Jiang Cheng just needs glasses, and that's why it looks like he's glaring all the time? 🥹

Bro can't see. He's trying to figure out which Lan brother he has to greet without the embarrassment of getting their names mixed up. 😔

#mxtx mdzs #mo dao zu shi #jiang cheng #lan xichen #lan wangji #it leads to so many misunderstandings #and embarrassing scenarios too #he may or may not have walked into a post a few times #and mistook baby JL for a melon #SLJ should have gone to Specsavers 😤

obviously LWJ wanted to hatefuck JC to tears during WWX's death, to take out all of his anger on JC

and of course a lot of that anger was because WWX was dead - because JC killed him; WWX was dead and JC was alive; LWJ couldn't see WWX anymore but JC was around

you ever think how a lot of that anger might be because it was easier to picture JC than WWX due to how often JC might be haughty and hot in LWJ's line of sight

draw the kids being babysat by Ace and Quinn [@lizardtheartist 's sammymack ocs]

Oh I can do ya one better, bud--instead of just drawing them myself, I thought I'd ask @lizardtheartist if they might wanna do a quick collab, and they said yes!! :D it was super fun, here's what all we drew (mine are blue and theirs are pink, except for two tiny exceptions you'll have to guess on your own teehee)

Here's all the stuff we drew!! It's a bit big though so here's some closeups of bits that go together ^^ (as you can see I take forever to draw anything so there's a bit less of mine lmao)

I figure my Spamntax would just kinda show up out of an interdimensional portal or whatever like "hey other universe us, can you watch our kids for a sec? oh nice you have your own so you're used to it!" like with zero notice beforehand because they're assholes, but Ace and Quinn are so excited to have playmates that they just kinda go with it ghkdslflksfhsdh

But yeah thanks so much for collabing with me Lizard!! :D this was super fun and your kiddos are super cute heheeee

#fjkdlshg;slj I love that sketch where Max is like where the hell did y'all come from??? correct reaction to finding a bunch of random babies #and I also love that geek is just like 'absolutely I will not make those for you do you have any idea how catastrophic that would be' #'the ones you have already are chaotic enough I'm not making you any more' #also please excuse how extremely messy mine are jfkdlsgjlhg #every time I use magma all my stuff comes out disastrous #something about it being online maybe? no idea #sam and max #lizardtheartist #sam and max freelance police #freelance husbands #fan kids #art collab #my art #asks #the maxlings

2023: The Year that Should Have Been Samuel L. Jackson's

Anyone who follows my blog knows I really like Samuel L. Jackson. I don't know him personally or anything. I just think he seems fun. I like how he says he makes the kinds of movies he would want to see as a kid (and isn't precious about the ~art~ of acting). Brie Larson also said some things in the Captain Marvel press tour about how confident he is, and now sometimes I think "Pretend you are Samuel L. Jackson" when I feel anxious in a work situation.

Some other things I like about him:

He was expelled from Morehouse College for his acts of civil disobedience. Though I can't say I support some of his later criminal acts or drug use.

I enjoy the random fun fact that he was an usher at Martin Luther King Jr's funeral.

Unlike a lot of the MCU actors, SLJ reads comics. He was the one who saw his face in The Ultimates and was like, "Uh. WTF, Marvel?" just because he happened to read it. (Companies are not allowed to use an individual's likeness without their consent, he could have sued Marvel, instead he made a deal for them to put him in movies if they made them.)

Regarding the above, I think a lot is said about how Feige and Favreau were such visionaries to create the MCU. And obviously they did the work. But I think SLJ saw it even earlier. (Ultimates came out in 2002, six years before Iron Man would happen and the deal he made would pan out.)

I know SLJ has made some bad movies. Some are fun bad. Some are just bad. But he has a way of making even the worst dialogue interesting. (IDK. I saw a teen spy movie he was in with Hailee Steinfeld and Sophie Turner. They are both actresses that I like, but any scene he wasn't in was kind of boring. And I was like, "Whoa how did you make me pay attention; I was falling asleep?")

Wow this post is long and I haven't even gotten to the point.

The point is that Secret Invasion should have been his moment to shine in the MCU. He never led a project before. And it's being called the worst thing ever. But it's so frustrating that it was so bad with the caliber of actors they had. It should not have been this way.

To add insult to injury, Jackson finally got to perform August Wilson's The Piano Lesson on Broadway.

Jackson was part of the original cast of that play, working with the celebrated playwright himself... at Yale Repertory Theater. When it came time to move the play to Broadway, Charles S. Dutton replaced him.

So last year a Broadway revival was staged. It was directed by his wife, LaTonya Richardson Jackson. Now Jackson played the older man, and his friend Denzel's son, John David Washington, played the role Jackson had originated.

Jackson was nominated for a Tony. But didn't win. The internet made fun of his reaction to the results being read.

I just feel like, I'd have been bummed too. He didn't slap anybody or complain about losing. He was gracious.

I keep thinking about what could have been. He's 74 years old (doesn't look it, imo), but he won't be around forever. I want him to be appreciated in his lifetime.

And goddamnit I am still mad they didn't air his Lifetime Achievement Oscar speech.

fox and sol in bg3 as protagonists / companions are so funny to me.

fox is literally just some guy. he's human. he seems so boring. he's a thief. he's from another continent. faerun gods barely notice him.

sol is literally just some surface drow. he seems sooo interesting. but he isn't. all of his braincells went to archery. lolth probably doesn't even know he exists even tho he's afraid of her. in menzoberranzan he would be just some npc.

the rest of y'all are like bhaalspawn! something cool ! and i'm writing just some guys.
