s/b: i don't like that thor features a love story

me: well let me tell you about how mcu!thor's core trait is his love and that includes love for his people, love for his homeland/home planet, love for his family and his brother in particular, love for the nine realms and earth in particular, and how that all boils down into love for jane— who's the most human of humans to him; who taught him how to be human too — so of course in the film where we're introduced to the mcu depiction of thor, his story is quintessentially a love story in both hope (jane) and tragedy (loki) and how those two things constantly conflict and contradict one another, and leave thor stranded in the middle because he loves both so dearly; patrick doyle crafted a beautiful OST featuring STRINGS and PIANO instead of just drums and horns because thor is strong and heroic, yes, he is, in fact, a hero but he's a beautiful hero because of his love because he is SOFT and it's reflected in the strings in both of his themes and—

#don't even get me started on how the avengers continues this particular theme so well #god the shot when loki has flung him from the ship and he moves to pick up the hammer and hesitates #y'all they intercut dialogue that someone speaks to banner overtop thor at that exact second #AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT SAID? “you fell from the sky”#he knew dang well he was worthy he /just/ used the hammer to get out of the hulk drop but he was thinking of loki #//who let go ... who was presumed dead for a year//#who .... //fell from the sky//#don't even get me EXTRA started on tdw and how it just keeps this train rolling lord the music of thor's 2 themes in that one too i just #lose my marbles every time gang i wish i had more technical terms and fancy composer lingo to explain this #alas all i have is a lifetime of choir classes and HS band + orchestra #which means that i know what i /feel/ but i can't explain it too good BUT HEAR ME OUT I'M TELLING YOU #his themes in TDW and 2011 both spell out /love/ what makes him a hero is his love !! he's love !!#&&. whispers #&&. meta #&&. | marvel. |#&&. thor.#so anyways guess who's listening to earth to asgard + sons of odin again and crying

ooh baby we're back in business for sure

so after my rage-fuelled obsession with the movie had died down i kind of forgot about it for the most part. (that is a lie. i am lying.) but one day i somehow discovered that it was based on a BOOK and set out to read said book out of morbid curiosity. (i expected it to be just a novel version of the movie, and i wanted to see how an author could create something so empty using words. i was wrong of course, but that's not the point.) i figured it would be at the secondhand bookstore, but i looked there to no avail. i did, however, find another novel by the same author (walter tevis); the steps of the sun. i flipped to a random page and it appeared to show the protagonist whining about how his testicles don't work. this was unpromising.

i then read the man who fell to earth on internet archive, where it is available entirely for free. you just have to make an account and then while you're reading you have to click “renew” once every hour. it took me somewhere around 4-5 hours to read i think. and it was really good.

genuinely. it was a fantastic book. (i ended up later buying it from the regular bookstore because it turns out that walter tevis also happens to be the author of the queen's gambit, that book about chess which has a show based on it, so all his books got a new life thanks to one of them being adapted.)

the book, much like the film, follows an alien called thomas jerome newton who comes to earth to save the few remaining people on his planet, except that this planet has been ravaged by nuclear war. it's also got a name: anthea. a minor issue with the novel is that it contains a lot of info-dumps, even right from the start, but compared to the unexplained torrent of bullshit in the movie, this is a fucking relief. after the pawn-shop scene which plays out pretty similarly to the movie but with more fun, relatable anxiety about being an alien and having to talk to service workers, we get some fairly unimportant and rather strange information about the alien's biology, which is also very silly and kind of fun despite being unoriginal and making no sense. remember, the year was somewhere around 1963 and the man who wrote the book was an english professor at a university. for example, antheans don't have an appendix, or wisdom teeth, or fingernails. don't ask me why. they're basically just humans but taller and thinner and with a lot of parts missing. (i like it though, it's silly.)

the rest of the book actually has a plot, similar to the vestiges of a plot in the film, wherein newton becomes fabulously wealthy, moves to the middle of nowhere with the main girl, builds a rocket-ship, hires nathan bryce who suspects him to be an alien, unrelated to this gets captured by the government, etcetera. these things are actually explained as they happen, and make sense without you having to read a guide alongside the book. in addition to the plot, there are also characters with distinctive personalities. i read the book partly aloud to my friend, and gave the characters actual voices (something i never do when reading aloud). the characters have noticeable changes throughout the novel, and each of the main trio forms a connection with the others. there is no romance plot whatsoever, which was lovely. the characters are very human, very relatable, and very ordinary, despite one of them literally being an alien. they have mundane struggles with life, work, relationships, and addiction, which are not, in my opinion, romanticized or used for spectacle. there are also themes, mainly those of isolation and alienation. it may not be the most thrilling book, there may not be a mystery or a romance or action, so if that's what you want, go read james bond. (the movies are even good, for the most part.) but while walter tevis may not have written an epic spy thriller, or a murder mystery, or an erotic romance, he did write a very beautiful little book about humanity. PLEASE READ IT IT'S SO GOOD PLEASE—

so the thing about the book is that while it is a fantastic, genuinely quite well-written (though dated) sci fi novel with a plot and honestly very likeable characters and themes that make you think instead of pretending to make you think, it does have one problem. it puts into high relief just how absolutely fucking awful the movie is, worse than i could have thought, worse than the world could have known. it is my sincere belief that the screenwriter HEARD of the book from a friend and then read it in it's entirety…during an acid-fuelled fever dream. (not as unlikely as you'd think honestly.)

but the problem with that theory is that that upon rewatching the film, there are several incredibly specific elements from the book which somehow ended up in the movie. this includes the painting of the fall of icarus and its accompanying poem, the hundreds of identical wedding rings which newton sells in the beginning to make enough money to meet with the lawyer, the shiny fingernails??? (sidenote i feel like bowie just kept putting on more nail polish as filming went on, his nails seem to get shinier every scene), the fucking oatmeal cookies (why), and probably others. this means that the filmmakers read the book and decided to replace all the themes and metaphors with surface-level spectacle, all of the plot-relevant internal monologue with shots of characters staring at one another or into space, and all of the dialogue with sex. (and everyone else was too high to argue, i suppose.)

this is such a tragedy that i can hardly comprehend it. there are even flashes, within the film, of what it could have been if nic roeg hadn't been entirely absorbed in making a cheap-looking, disjointed, “artsy” pile of garbage with an r rating slapped on to garner some kind of reaction. i would call it a porno, but that's an insult to porn directors. instead i will call it what it is, which is pathetic.

in one scene which appears to be entirely original wherein the two main characters (because nathan bryce is a sidenote of a sidenote in this movie and serves only to make bowie look prettier than he is in the ending scene) are hanging out in the hotel room and mary-lou (in the book she's called betty jo but they changed her name and aged her down about twenty years so that they could make her have sex with the main character) asks what newton does for a living and he replies, “oh, i'm just visiting,” and mary-lou, delighted, says “oh! a traveller!” and newton (bowie) gives this sweet smile and for a moment i could pretend that everything was going to be fine, except it wasn't, and the girl immediately begins blabbing again. i just wish that they had included more lines like these, more actual fucking dialogue, because it was the part of the book which i liked the best, along with the possibly-unintentional comedy.

one final thing to note before i close out this chapter is that in the book newton is constantly described as being incredibly fragile, with bones like a bird's, barely able to withstand earth's gravity (that being 3 times the gravity of his own planet, which actually checks out scientifically, and interestingly implies that anthea is slightly smaller than earth) to the point where even being bumped into would probably injure him. being bumped into. so like. if he had sex like he does in the movie he would genuinely probably just fucking die.

stay tuned for more, hopefully i don't lose this manic pixie dream bitch energy by tomorrow morning.

#the man who fell to earth (oh dear god don't send the fangirls after me)#rambling #ooh baby we're back in business for sure

The Man Who Fell to Earth (2022) - 1x02

#tmwfteedit #the man who fell to earth #justin falls #naomie harris #this show reminds me of how much I hate the fish out of water trope #time travelers and gods and apparently aliens #like...why don't you just observe for a bit instead of assuming everything's exactly like where/when you came from #my annoyance aside it's a PACKED cast #and of course naomie harris is always the most watchable part #and they did give me this scene with her arms #and shoulders!#so I can't fully hate

the thing about loki 2021 is that its really fuckin good but not in any of the ways that the loki comics are really fuckin good. and the loki comics are better. go read the loki comics.

#except vote loki u can pretend that one doesnt exist #and also pretend that god who fell to earth went on as long as it should have (i.e. more than five FUCKING issues)#lily dot tee ex tee #marvel #loki #thor #<- oh also the thor comics are just better than the films that one's much simpler #the only way i can think of loki 2021 being similar to stuff like aoa or jim is ideas about free will but it approaches that whole thing #from a completely different angle. its not a story about stories its a story about choics #which is also fascinating and i wanna watch it again at some point but i have no TIME #but also yeah the best thing that loki 2021 did was convince me to finally read loki aoa (which sparked my thor comics phase which i have #still not left)#also sylki was good actually. fuck you <3 #the only bad things loki 2021 did was not make sylvie CANON trans and use kid loki and original loki as costumes #without any respect for the characters themselves #which makes sense because the mcu would not be able to speedrun the entire 2007-2015 character arc in one series #which proves my point that yall should read agent of asgard. now.#616 #mcu

Rereading The God Who Fell to Earth again, because for some reason I cannot remember much of this comic no matter how many times I read it

Not a huge fan of this comic overall. Spoilers for The God Who Fell to Earth. And a little spoiler for the end of Loki.

Now knowing that you technically know who Santa is...SIR.

Has the Bifrost been broken THIS WHOLE TIME, or has it broken multiple times?

If I ever play the Marvel Role-Playing Game, I'm creating Drrf. I love him so much. (Though I think my friends will only play with me if I DM, so he might have to be an NPC.)

Sometimes my reaction cannot be translated into words. My reaction to this quote was a full-bodied, groaning sigh. Yes, let's mention the love of your life LIKE IT'S NOTHING and not mention her again. He implies this shit has happened to him but doesn't talk about her again.

You know me. And you know your narrative. Even though this one really picks and chooses what it wants to recall from the AoA canon, it's very clear that Loki is at least on some level the God of Stories in this one, since he's so self-aware of the arc.

Oh my GOD I forgot about "Forsooth, I thought we were bros!" Lololololol I'm making a Quotes That Make Me Feral post now.

How is it that I don't remember much of anything about this comic and yet some of its voice for Loki I've internalized and put into fics? Like this trope of him thinking something and then saying that exact thing in dialogue. Like I know that's a thing that happens, that's not something this writer invented, but I don't think Ewing does it much for Loki. But I do.

"And what did your father say?" (Dad: Absolutely not.) "He said ask Mom." I'm dying.

Oh. Oh yes. Now I remember why I never remember this comic. It's the entire b-plot with Nightmare, and the fucking shit they did to the gay rep.

This is BLATANT Verity erasure, and I take issue with it.

You reference this story mere pages ago when mentioning Sigyn, and now that you relive it, SHE'S NOT EVEN THERE.

And yes, cropping Vote Loki out of this page was very much intentional. Fuck that comic, fuck President Loki, fuck the entire concept, fuck the real-life "politician" he was a stand-in for.

Listen, this comic just goes to show Nights on the Roof has the potential to be comic canon. No I will not elaborate.
