The Giggle is a true work of art

It's a love letter to humanity, but everyone has to be willing to listen for it to work.

I love this gif. Think about it. The MCU has a LARGE audience base and Tony Stark is the face of the MCU and is one of the richest men alive. It is no accident that UNIT looks like a tower that was erected by a a white male American narcissist who sacrificed his life to save the entire universe. Love him or hate him, Tony Stark gets your attention. And so does Iron Man. And so do the other Avengers. You know who else has a tower? Batman. (Right?). He's DC. Some people like both. I don't know enough about the DC characters.

And think about RDJ who is trying to step away from the Tony Stark image. It's a character he loved, a character that changed his life after he got out of prison, and he will always love Tony Stark, but he and Tony Stark are not the same person.

Robert Downey Jr told us what was up in the 1990s.

This is meant to connect to the people who love superheroes and superhero movies. To see that Robert Downey Jr is the way he is because he's seen the ugly side of humanity and he has always told us what he really thinks. People look up to him.

This is meant to catch their eye, to say THIS IS WHAT WE ARE DOING. Please listen to our message.

Nerd culture is beautiful art.

And if you don't spend your time asking yourself how often Neil Patrick Harris is bullshitting us because I refuse to believe that he had never heard of Doctor Who before joining the cast. I think he just threw 100% of his "please" attitude into Barney Stinson.

Remember when Neil Patrick Harris played Doogie Howser, MD? The 14 year old Doctor?

Oh, he was a Doctor too! So let's not forget this other cult classic Doctor character he played. If you haven't seen Doctor Horrible and His Sing-along Blog you are missing out.

He was once listed as one of Times' 100 Most Influential People in 2010.

He's charismatic and is openly affectionate with his husband and their children.

Love him or hate him, he has a large fanbase. And he is an AMAZING actor. And a really good magician too.

And they used his skills as a magician on Doctor Who, took us to Soho in 1925, and the Good Omens fandom arose from our slumber severe hyperfixation and meticulous meta analysis to dig into a fandom where David Tennant is the most popular incarnation of a particular character, so we are already doing nonstop detective work.

The Good Omens fandom LOVES David Tennant. He is our favorite rebellious demon.

He played the MCU's most terrifying villain (there is not one single MCU villain that has ever terrified me as much as Kilgrave because that fucker uses his powers of mind control to force Jessica Jones into being in a relationship with him...among other things). As a character though, he was fucking fascinating despite the fact we have met so many men who act just like him, and we hate all of them.

Side note: When I typed "Doogie Howzer" into the gif search, this is the most popular image that came up. I consistently get Howser and Howzer confused.

Now I've got the attention of the Star Wars fandom! Howzer rocks.

You know who else appeared on a Star Wars show (again) this year?

This entire episode was crafted in a way that it formed as many connections as it could with other fandoms.

And not just that. It made sure to include as much representation as possible. Was it perfect? No, but the point is that Doctor Who is telling the world that it is moving on. It is ready to grow and it is ready to be a mainstream voice for everyone whose existence is being threatened by unjust laws.

The new Doctor defied expectations. This Doctor is a breath of fresh air, and a reminder that we will all be okay, but change is inevitable and this sci-fi show about an alien who is either 2,000 or 4,000,000,005 years old. I can't keep up anymore. It doesn't matter because he's a Doctor free from the confines of societal expectations.

Nerd culture is vast, and I know I've left out fandoms because I don't really have all day nor do I know all the fandoms, so I'm just giving you a taste of what I do love.

This episode is meant to be for everyone who needs a place to call home.

And the old Doctor finally gets to retire to make way for the new Doctor.

And as a reward for longtime fans, the retired Doctor has found a place to call home on Earth with his best friend. David Tennant will always be Doctor Who because the old Doctor was allowed to live.

And for the Staged fandom, you know what that means, Michael?

Penny poll round 1 match 9

Penny Crygor (WarioWare) vs Penny (Dr Horrible’s Sing Along Blog)

Propaganda under the cut

Penny Crygor (WarioWare)

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv-9tXSNBHc

<- Her theme song

——

• She's got her hair tied up in braids,

and glasses perched up on her face.

She is a small girl, takin' on a big world,

with inventions she made!

And though her plans may go awry,

she's gonna get back up and try.

Gonna be a shining star, she's going far, Penny!

——

• she's literally so penny. she's so fun she's an inventor that wants to become a pop star and I LOVE HER

——

• 1. she's cute as heck

2. she's a mad scientist inventor

3. she's trans-coded as fuck, she wants to be a singer and invented a potion to give herself a singing voice but when her grandpa drank it it raised the pitch of his voice

4. her theme song in Get It Together is AMAZING and her jet tank one ability is really fun

Penny (Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog)

• she’s an incredible and tragic character whose love and trust gets her killed in the end. also Dr horrible is a very underrated media in general I want her to win

——

• Ordinary person in a supervillain story, just wants to shelter people and do her laundry. Relatable!

——

• She’s a sexy lamp but boy is she a cutie

——

• She’s the only genuinely good person in the whole show. She’s sweet and very naive. Love her <3

——

• Penny is an extremely empathetic and caring person. She works at a homeless shelter and is gentle and friendly with everyone there. She meets the main character at a laundromat and immediately becomes a very supportive and encouraging friend. Her goal throughout the narrative is to open a second location of the shelter so she can help more people. She has a sad backstory of not being accepted when she was younger and has learned to focus on optimism to make it through. Her main flaw is that she tolerates a romantic relationship with a man who doesnt respect her because she isn't well-practiced with respecting herself, but after he takes it too far, she does stand up for herself and walk out on him (growth!)

Analysis videos like these are so frustrating, because it gets every part of the movie wrong, but in subtle ways that most people watching this video are just going to nod along to.

1. Horrible is not being vague about what his problems with society are. The movie is constantly calling attention to class disparity.

2. There are several hints that Dr. Horrible and Penny had talked before the start of the movie. And one of their conversations involves Penny talking about how she wants to cause incremental social change by doing good, and Horrible saying that he doesn't think that will work because the whole system is broken.

3. Calling Penny a sexy lamp is totally not giving her enough credit! She spends the whole movie busting her ass trying to set up a homeless shelter. And if you think that makes her "generically good" that's because you didn't get what the movie was trying to say. Penny is a liberal. She thinks she can work within the system to fix the problem. She doesn't even date Hammer exclusively cus she likes his muscles; he had clout and she naively believed he actually took an interest in her cause.

4. But what happened? Even before Horrible crashed the party, Hammer was starting to derail the cause, because he doesn't have any interest in changing a system where he's on top. Like can we talk about how cutting "Everyone's a Hero" is with its satire of ableism? It's really ugly in the best way!

5. It's so weird to see this channel miss the political commentary in a movie. DHSAB is a thought experiment, between a conservative/centrist (Hammer), an anarchist with no real plans (Horrible) and a liberal who should be able to anticipate why both extremes are going to screw her over (Penny) but fails.

6. I'd say that is a subversion. Just because the POV character treats her like an object to be fought over, doesn't mean the audience should assume she has no agency. Penny had a lot of agency. She tried to do something good, but trusted the wrong people and got her ass handed to her. She has a character arc, and it's a thinly-veiled commentary on the Obama era.

Preliminaries round 2 match 6

Pennywise (It) vs Penny Hofstadter (Big Bang Theory) vs Penny (Dr Horrible’s Sing Along Blog)

Only 2 will move on

Propaganda under the cut

Pennywise (IT)

• Scary, goofy outfit, gives out balloons

• he's a clown. he's a demon. he's an alien. he's a serial killer. a bunch of kids with a baseball bat are enough to take him down.

• funny murder clown, i wanna see him among all the other probably not clowny pennies.

• :)

Penny Hofstadter (Big Bang Theory)

• Penny has no last name but when married, it becomes Penny Hofstadter. Her brother was in jail for drugs. She definitely does not have an alcohol problem. She had an addiction to video games causing her to not move for days. She marries Leonard despite everyone believing she could do better. She is described as a gorilla many times, which is ironic as she starred in a film where she turned into a gorilla.

• She's the only main character who doesnt have a phd but also the only one who knows how to gut a fish so i guess it balances out

Penny (Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog)

• she’s an incredible and tragic character whose love and trust gets her killed in the end. also Dr horrible is a very underrated media in general I want her to win

• Ordinary person in a supervillain story, just wants to shelter people and do her laundry. Relatable!

• She’s a sexy lamp but boy is she a cutie

• She’s the only genuinely good person in the whole show. She’s sweet and very naive. Love her <3

• Penny is an extremely empathetic and caring person. She works at a homeless shelter and is gentle and friendly with everyone there. She meets the main character at a laundromat and immediately becomes a very supportive and encouraging friend. Her goal throughout the narrative is to open a second location of the shelter so she can help more people.

Her main flaw is that she tolerates a romantic relationship with a man who doesnt respect her because she isn't well-practiced with respecting herself, but after he takes it too far, she does stand up for herself and walk out on him (growth!)

I really enjoyed Neil Patrick Harris as The Toymaker in the Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Special!

Then, it got me thinking... Neil Patrick Harris plays a lot a musically inclined villains, doesn't he? I can name four just off the top of my head:

1. Dr. Horrible in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

2. Music Meister in Batman: The Brave and the Bold

3. Count Olaf in A Series of Unfortunate Events

4. The Toymaker in Doctor Who

Guess that's what happens when you can sing, dance, and play fun, campy villains.

Any others that I'm missing?

BEHOLD, THE NEBULA-LINKINATOR!

It feels good to be bad, but there are some villains that are just the worst at it. They may have style, but their heinous plots are kind of… silly. Are they really all that evil in the end?
