Tyler puts end to this by grabbing Aiden’s clothed foot, probably annoyed at the way it wriggles in the corner of his eyes. Then, he lets go of it, and that’s when Aiden acts; in a matter of second, he raises his foot and pushes it into Tyler’s face.

What is your current opinion of Ben Barnes?

The wording considered, I assume he did something wrong.

I don't follow celebities and drama around them. For me, they're something like semi-fictional people. Sure, I know they're running around somewhere, but I don't know them personally, so every opinion I might form is based on a third-fourth-hand information and interpretations offered by others.

I'm also old enough to realize these people are... well, just people, not some perfect idols to be found lacking and overthrown. They're likely to fuck up, and be stupid just like everyone else. They're only more visible.

So, to answer your question, my opinion on Ben Barnes, as a person is that I don't really have one. My opinion on him, as an actor is that I've seen some of his work, liked most of it and from the little I've read/seen, where he talks about it, he puts both heart and a lot of thought into his performance. Judging from reactions of people, he works with, he seems like a pleasant person to work with. That's about as much as I require from an actor.

hi, can you elaborate on that monk-the thing-hank mccoy parallel you mentioned? im curious

(Follow-up to this post)

I certainly don't think anybody past Lee and Kirby took Monk as a factor when writing Ben and Hank, but the fact is that they were both conceived pulling from the same source character in directly opposite ways, and they've been shooting off further apart ever since, with Ben becoming more and more of a kind, inspiring, positive figure among superheroes, and Hank McCoy has been non-stop leapfrogging into greater heights of irredeemable jackassery and evil, both still carrying most of those traits still. You can kinda map them out like this:

He was Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Blodgett Mayfair, but he heard the full name so seldom he had about forgotten what it sounded like.

To give a brief a crash course on Monk, I assume most of you are at least passingly familiar that Doc Savage's crew had an ape guy in it. That's him. Artistic depictions vary on this a lot but in-text, Monk Mayfair is described as maybe the ugliest man in the world, a "dwarf King Kong" whose face makes babies cry, so apelike that he even runs faster when on all fours. Like the rest of the Five, he's driven by a desire for adventure and excitement and deep loyalty to Doc Savage. If one of the heroes kills a guy in a Doc Savage novel, it's probably going to be him, and he is kind of a colossal horndog, which didn't carry over to those two (all of the Fabulous Five - sans Long Tom who is an outspoken misogynist - make a heterosexual pony show out of ogling and competing for the women Doc ignores, Monk first and foremost among them). He lives for a good fight and frequently and constantly bickers with the lawyer Ham, they have that sort of fight-fight-snark-snark-brotherly-bond dynamic and they probably codified it in their own right.

And Monk is also one of the top chemists in the country, said to be "the Houdini of test tubes", his head fit to burst with chemical knowledge, and he's responsible for much of Doc's gadgetry. And even though his own teammates get in on insulting his intelligence and looks (and he barbs back as well, and even defies Doc more directly than the others rarely), he isn't remotely stupid. That is kinda the point, in fact, that he constantly invites you to look down on and underestimate the ugly gorilla man and forget the fact that he can memorize intricate formulas and rip your arms off in the same breath he uses to bicker and insult his companions, and particularly his smart-mouthed rival within the group, all in good fun. And within the Fabulous Five-setup that inspires the Fantastic Four and Lee and Kirby's mutual interest for Doc Savage stories showing through, crucial to Ben Grimm's early character is that he hits many of these same notes, but all is very much not always in good fun.

Of the six men present, Monk's skin alone bore scars. The skin of the others held no marks of their adventurous past, thanks to Doc's uncanny skill in causing wounds to heal without leaving scars. But not Monk.

His tough, rusty iron hide was so marked with gray scars that it looked as if a flock of chickens with gray−chalk feet had paraded on him. This was because Monk refused to let Doc treat him. Monk gloried in his tough looks. - The Man of Bronze

Monk was never satisfied unless picking on somebody, or being picked on in turn.

The Thing initially is what happens when being the strong, physically deformed and scarred coarse bruiser who pals around big shot scientists is a set-up played for tension and drama moreso than comedy, as said man is tormented and bitter over his condition, bordering on murderously angry liability and downright jackass. Ben is constantly losing his temper and smashing things, constantly breaking off the team, his initial spats with Johnny are frequent and not very lighthearted, and constantly put a strain on the team and Reed's ability to hold them together. It's deeply important to his character arc that he starts this way and that him lightening up and growing more into his heroic role is as much about him adapting as it's about him rediscovering himself in a new form.

(And while not as pronounced as Beast and Monk's scientific brains, Ben too is supposed to be smarter and more intelectually capable than he appears or credits himself for - he frequently tells himself that he's nothing without strength and that he's just a big dumb bruiser, he gets that whole, too dumb to collapse and too ugly to die and all that, but every now and then Reed reminds us that he isn't so easily fooled by Ben's persona)

Ben spends so much of those early issues deeply angry at Reed Richards for fully justified reasons and entirely consumed by self-loathing, convinced he isn't something anyone would want to be or be with, and it makes all of his baby steps towards becoming Ben Grimm as we know him meaningful. Every step and set back and rising above himself on his journey as Ben Grimm the hero, Ben Grimm the guy who becomes the archetypal lovable curmudgeon bruiser of comics in his own right, the guy who's going to become not just the invaluable heroic core of the Four, but a beloved and respected pillar of the superhero community in his own right, The Idol O'Millions. If I start talking about Ben Grimm I get emotional and it feels cheap to pretend like some jerk who would never cut it on Yancy Street, and probably doesn't even HAVE an Aunt Petunia, belongs in the same conversation, but he is in Ben's DNA, and the DNA he shares with the guy who made the wildest leap possible in the opposite direction.

Monk emitted a great howl. Monk's fights were always noisy, unless there was a reason for them to be quiet. Like a gladiator of old, Monk fought best when the racket was loudest.

"It'll take a good fight to get me feelin' like a human being again!"

Where as Hank McCoy initially almost feels like a kid-friendly do-over of Monk, who pushes the contrast further: his ape traits are explicit biological mutation superpowers, but he isn't just an expert chemist, he's a comically verbose super genius who talks like Littlejohn (the Fabulous Five member who spouts off sesquipedalianisms), but still cartwheels around to smash bad guys with gorilla fighting skills and roughhouses with resident rival-friend Iceman. The pop culture image of Beast is/was that of a friendly, sartorial professor who only looked monstrous, but had none of the darkness or conflict that defined much of the other X-Men, and had a fairly squeaky-clean image.

Which might be the biggest reason why his character took enough dark turns that he wound up becoming a gleefully sadistic spymaster mad scientist who runs genocide programs in Latin America "for the sake of mutantkind". Maybe it just boils down to writers overcorrecting, building off what was already there in prior storylines. Dark Beast, the Legacy Virus, the Inhumans War, etc. Maybe some of it was just bound to come up sooner or later.

The extent of Beast's development and the many, many places where the character took these turns is something this article by David Bowen goes into, and how much of it might even just be where the character was always heading, maybe ever since he decided pulling a Jekyll & Hyde and transforming himself into something new so he could live a new carefree life crossed his mind as a good idea. Maybe you can't play Mr. Hyde and pretend you're only kidding.

I sat in the sun on a bench; the animal within me licking the chops of memory; the spiritual side a little drowsed, promising subsequent penitence, but not yet moved to begin. After all, I reflected, I was like my neighbours.

I began to be aware of a change in the temper of my thoughts, a greater boldness, a contempt of danger, a solution of the bonds of obligation.

I looked down; the hand that lay on my knee was corded and hairy.

I was once more Edward Hyde.

And yes, every major X-Men character has rep sheets that put supervillains to shame and consists of at least one or five completely infedensible things, sure, but Hank's has clearly crossed to a level of villainy that can't really be walked back on, in the name of good intentions. In the name of loyalty, in the name of scientific reasoning.

And while Monk has never gone anywhere near as monstrous and never went so far as to be an outright villain, we can in fact trace a line between Beast's own loyalty-driven monstrousness, and Monk Mayfair doing things like threatening to carve up crooks if Doc lets him, chasing down and machine-gunning fleeing henchmen, and cutting off a guy's parachute and laughing off his death.

All of the Fabulous Five can be bastards to varying degrees sometimes and this mean streak of Monk's has been excised from pretty much all of his comics appearences that have played the character much closer to Ben Grimm, which is the smart thing to do and, really he should get a pass for ripping off Ben since Ben kinda ripped him off first. But maybe that mean streak, that potential Mr Hyde darkness of the genius chained to the ape, never really went away, and it just passed along to the next in line.

"Tell him I'll pull his ears off an' feed 'em to him if he don't come clean!" Monk suggested. Doc, anxious himself to note the effect of torture threats on the Mayan, repeated Monk's remarks - The Man of Bronze

Monk picked up a big, gleaming cutlass. He whetted it suggestively on a soggy shoe sole, then whacked an ear off a papier-mâché likeness of a bearded pirate, just to show Kar's men how it might go.

"Only say the word, Doc!" He slanted a great arm at a wizened fellow who looked the most cowardly of the lot. "I'll start on the little one, there!" - The Land of Terror

Monk did three or four things very violently, and finally ended with the long knife in his possession. "I'm gonna cut your heads off," Monk told his foes. Mathis raced for the cabin door. Monk watched him come but made no effort to stop him. Mathis gained the door, struggled to open it. He was not more than a long arm reach from Monk, who could have stopped him easily. Monk made no effort to stop him. He did reach out and thrust the long knife to the hilt into Mathis's parachute pack. Mathis, knowing nothing of the knife in the 'chute pack, jumped gleefully out into space.

Monk was looking out of the window. He drew back and grinned at Doc. "He made quite a splash," Monk said. "Who?" "Mathis. For some reason or other his parachute didn't open." Blumbeck yelled, "No wonder! You stuck a knife in the parachute!" "I don't remember doing that," Monk said innocently. -The Laugh of Death

Hello! I hope you are well, you modern day Shakespeare you :D

Hypothetically, in your AU, do you think that Jeff would ever find somebody he actually likes romantically (if that’s even possible) as opposed to the way he just takes advantage of Nina? And if so, what would this entail?

UUMMMMMM hmmm.... no.

okay i lied yes its totally possible. BUT AGAIN i make jeff a VERY one dimensional character, his entire purpose is for nina, jane, and liu have a story to revolve around. I’ll try to talk abt it but it’s really just me saying not good..

in the event he did find someone he liked, he just kinda...hm... ok this is really hard wow... ive literally never once sat and thought about him in a relationship ......... idk i think he'd be... I LITERJHAGHKIH I CANT

depends. hes just some guy really and i do think he's very entitled, egotistical, and nina really helped fuck up his self importance b/c now he fully expects to be taken care of while he does fuck all. maybe he'd hold a hand or two. kinda sleezy. 'wyd.. pics?' at 3am. LMFAOOO HES SO UNPLEASANT IM SORRY ANON. prob would need some other hardass who's like "watch ur fucking mouth" but then he'd get mad and ghost them for 'being a bitch.' but if he had some rando sweetheart it wouldnt work either cuz he'd then never change. dunno... dunno.... i dont often think about them in relationships unless im actively shipping and even then i never put my ships into canon relationships... he's capable of romantic attraction but he's not even a good friend, much less a good boyfriend. he's lucky ben just doesnt care how people treat him, otherwise he'd have nobody

#UR SO KIND CALLING ME SHAKESPEARE AND THEN IM OUT HERE REPLYING LIKE 'well i do not know' #LMFOAOFNJF #IM SORRYYYY #TY ANON #ASKS #ben is literally the only person who jeff would even bother listening to #but bens ... ben.... and isnt gonna be like #'oh jeff...you have to change...!! you cant be such an awful boyfriend..! you must get flowers NOW..!'

HOPELESS ON CORUSCANT AU DONT YOU MEAN MY NEW FAVOURITE BABY!!????!!!!???? i have so so much to say about this au and i probably will later but right now all i can think about is how furious sheev is that all his weird toxic grooming is seemingly ripped out and fixed by, uh, an advice column writer? who goes by ben? and is now teaching anakin healthy relationship standards and proper communication and attatchment isn’t love? who is this dastardly meddling being—oh fuck me of course it’s kenobi

loll omg yeah sheev is so pissed off because now anakin has someone else in his life giving him advice and it’s actually GOOD advice as if this guy actually CARES >:( this is the worst thing to happen to Palpatine ever!! Anakin is practically glowing and forest creatures are flocking to him!

He tries to find out who runs the advice column, but journalists protect their sources and their employees, even from the chancellor of the Republic so he can’t figure out who Ben is….he’s tearing out his goddamn hair HE was the one who was supposed to give anakin advice!!! He made sure anakin would be guarding Padmé and yet there was no romance??? The boy remained professional the entire time and didn’t hit on her while her life was in danger ???? “Ben said not to” BEN CAN CHOKE!!! Palpatine had plans!!!

#asks #obikin #I think obi-wan took the parenting style of ‘I can’t give you advice all the time you have to make your own decisions as you grow’ #Ben doesn’t have to because he doesn’t have that context #of knowing who anakin is #he just replies to his letters by roasting him gently in public and then q telling him what to do #anakin (a sub) is thriving #jk
