โ€œA hundred songs name him. At seventeen he was champion of the world and king of soccer. Before he was twenty the government of Brazil named him a "national treasure not to be exported." He won three world championships with the Brazilian team and two with the club Santos. After his thousandth goal, he kept on counting. He played more than thirteen hundred matches in eighty countries, one after another at a punishing rate, and he scored nearly thirteen hundred goals. Once he held up a war: Nigeria and Biafra declared a truce to see him play.
To see him play was worth a truce and a lot more. When Pele ran hard, he cut right through his opponents like a hot knife through butter. When he stopped, his opponents got lost in the labyrinths his legs embroidered. When he jumped, he climbed into the air as if it were a staircase. When he executed a free kick, his opponents in the wall wanted to turn around to face the net, so as not to miss the goal.
He was born in a poor home in a far-off village, and he reached the summit of power and fortune where blacks were not allowed. Off the field he never gave a minute of his time and a coin never fell from his pocket. But those of us who were lucky enough to see him play received alms of extraordinary beauty: moments so worthy of immortality that they make us believe immortality exists.โ€
Eduardo Galeano on Pelรฉ, from Football in Sun and Shadow

Jason turning into Red Hood was not rushed. Personally, I think it makes sense contextually if he had been trying to conquer his own fear for a while and had decided to cross the line and fake his death. "I grew up, you can too". Clearly he had been thinking about what killing implies and justified it in his own head. And I presume it has something to do with being in full control, getting things done and being better than Batman and his golden son. If in the past he wanted to prove himself by going after dangerous villains, he now goes after the bat himself and tries to replace his father. That's his coping mechanism. The kid was being cocky about his new sense of power/his willingness to kill. I actually like this take which focuses on his moral reasonings more than the whiny one who got angry at Bruce for not killing the Joker.

if deaton was played by a white passably attractive middle aged man yall would not treat his character the same way you do in your fanfictions.
like the way yall can make apologies for peter and theo but hate on one of the shows prevalent black characters even though he's done nothing but help?

it's lowkey funny to me when stiles gets dubbed as the pack mom when scott has a lot more maternal characteristics (which makes sense as he was raised by a single mother) and so many of his conversations with liam radiates mom energy.
stiles definitely gives off that one uncle who knows shit that he probably shouldn't and who you can count on to get you out of trouble.

all I'm saying is that if you've ever watched an xmen movie and have agreed with either erik or charles you can't be pro team iron man in civil war because that's literally contradictory.

civil war would've been so much better if the xmen were in it and mutants existed in the mcu because it would've been so very clear that the accords were wrong and we wouldn't have had people debating whether or not legal discrimination is within a governments right ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
the accords were never about accountability they were about control and they quite literally strip "enhanced individuaks" of their human rights.
the idea that superheros need to be held accountable isn't bad, but the way it was presented in that movie wasn't about that at all.

I'm not mad that Anthony Hopkins won the Oscar, I love his work and even thought I was routing for Steven and Chadwick everyone in the category who was nominated were absolutely amazing. But setting up the award the way they did made it seem like they were going to give it to Chadwick and they literally used his death for publicity and that's so sick.

when will we learn to use words properly... queerbaiting is not the same thing as fanservice.
