Hey do yous want to see my favourite bit from the first Thor film? It's this bit:

What's going on here? Why would anyone be standing behind that big gold pillar for any reason other than to slink out from behind it? There's nothing there! Not even the sinister shadows that I suspect were supposed to be on that part of the set.

Oh ho ho, here we go, here we goooooo!!!

Oh yeah, I absolutely 100% trust whatever this lad's about to say. That's the least shifty approach I've ever seen in my life. He barely even skulked.

Listen to him, Thor! I don't care what he's saying to you, it's definitely good advice whatever it is. See how he's leaning towards you in a completely un-conspiratorial manner, speaking quietly because he knows you're a sensitive type who gets nervous around loud noises. This is really good advice. You can tell because he looks so earnest.

Oh and here come some witnesses! I mean your friends!

You can safely ignore whatever he's saying now though, Thor. He's obviously got a bit intimidated by the success that lies ahead when you carry out this amazing plan that you've just come up with all by yourself after he suggested it.

Oof, he's very against you doing that thing that you're about to do! He's sooooo disappointed with the way this is going. He's just said it's madness! In a loud, clear voice that should have carried across the room quite well.

I wonder if any of the witnesses overheard that part of the conversation?

Aye. Aye, they did :)

#no really i love this bit #this is true cinema. this is art. this is making me want to check if my purse is still where i left it. #that's why i get a bit sad when people tell me loki was just lurking behind that pillar because it has such a nice view of the sunset #if i'm supposed to conclude from this scene that loki was entirely innocent at this point then someone's fucked up quite badly here. #i mean aside from thor. thor's definitely fucked up quite badly here. he's fucked up by listening to slinky mcslinkface. #all that later drama could have been avoided if only this room hadn't had huge pillars along one side that a person could lurk behind :'( #why were you even standing there in the first place you shifty wee bastard (affectionate)?! #thor (2011) #mcu tag i guess

[bilbotargaryen]

Are people srsly considering the scene where loki calls the NYC Incident "feelings getting out of hand" as good?

He would never fucking say that, man.

It is canon that he was tortured to do it. He was a whole damn mess during that whole thing and now its played down and straight up denied.

Am I missing something?

#anti loki series #i did not watch it but i scroll through the tags sometimes #yall who agree with that series lost lokis character somewhere #season 1 was already impossible #seems season 2 is continuing the saga #anti mcu #i guess

ok, so- @kpen-draws forced me to draw stucky in the year 2023 and she's going to fight me if I don't post it

#gopher art #stucky #marvel mcu #bucky barnes #captain america #steve rogers #I didn't wanna put this in the main tags but shes required it of me #on the bright side 12 year old gopher is so fucking hyped #I shipped them so hard #and I'm admittedly kinda proud of how this looks #guess I'll die now luv yall

#not me thinking again about how Loki is a god of chaos and change and infinite possibilities #and the MCU decided his best ending was to be stuck in the same place keeping things stable #never gonna get Loki at his height now I guess #marvel was so afraid to let him be morally grey #he didn’t need a redemption arc #sigh #just using tags cause I don’t want to get reblog discourse

#memes #marvel #marvel memes #mcu #wait was this infinity war or endgame #damn #i dont remember #just gonna tag it as both #avengers infinity war #infinity war #avengers 3 #avengers endgame #endgame #avengers 4 #not even sure if that qualifies as a marvel meme but it does use a fitting format #so here we go i guess

So, 4 years ago today, That Movie We Don't Talk About officially hit theatres and to "celebrate" I could write up another post on why it is a horrible no good bad movie that fucked over so many beloved characters and relationships and screwed up the MCU for the foreseeable future—well, until the inevitable full-fledged reboot that, make no mistake, will happen one day.

Or instead, I could just leave you with this quote from a wonderful fanfic, written all the way back in 2014 (!):

The temptation’s right there in front of him, it’s all around him. Stay and fix it. Stay and somehow get it right. The comfort of the past made safe by the knowledge of the future. He wants it so badly—a version of history designed to his personal specifications, dangling here in front of him like shining, low-hanging fruit—but the depth of his desire only reinforces his bone-deep certainty that it would be a trick, a cheat. Just another way of freezing himself in a past that’s gone, lingering too long in an impossible dream while the world moves on without him. “I don’t want to be a ghost moving through history. I want us to be real—you and me, Bucky.”

Will the real Steve Rogers please stand up?

I just watched Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and I felt like it really solidified one of the reasons why Endgame just did not work in my opinion which was that none of the characters whose stories were ending in that movie actually got a proper send-off that was focused on them. This is because, in Endgame, everything was taking place in the midst of a much larger story where a major goal was still to set up future storylines and ultimately to try to give partial or equal focus to a really unreasonable number of characters. I always hate on Steve’s ending in particular and while I do definitely think it was a majorly poor choice for his character in general it was also just really rushed and didn’t make sense given the pretty minimal amount of time that was allocated to his character in that movie, whereas if Steve had gotten to go out on a final Captain America movie I’m sure it would have been much more likely for him to get an ending that actually aligned with his arc as a whole and within that film. Plus, characters that are so well established deserve to get a real conclusion that is focused on them! And it worked so well in GOTG3 to actually have that but I couldn’t believe it when I realized that this is the first time in the MCU that a series has gotten to end in that way. I feel like it really goes to show how much this type of franchise storytelling wrecks character arcs more often than not because the priority is always the bigger picture rather than the individual story, and I’m happy Guardians got to end in this way but the other characters should have gotten that too :(

#i also think gotg only got that bc they've been much less central to the mcu as a whole then say captain america was #so marvel doesn't feel the need to find a way to keep it going #although maybe they actually are keeping star lord around i guess #i also think it was really obvious that james gunn did all 3 films (in a good way) #bc the arcs were quite cohesive across all the movies #guardians of the galaxy #guardians of the galaxy vol 3 #gotg #gotg3 #guardians of the galaxy spoilers #gotg spoilers #guardians of the galaxy vol 3 spoilers #gotg3 spoilers #there aren't actually spoilers but tagging them just to be courteous #anti endgame #marvel #mcu

no but listen i am constantly thinking about the mcu and other franchises like star wars and dc have tried to replicated their cinematic universe and i think the problem is that these big budget movies aren't willing to commit to the concept of a stand alone film. the entire reason avengers (2012) actually works is because all of the movies beforehand were complete stand alone action flicks that tied into the same universe only by a few end credit scenes and the fact that SHIELD was at least mentioned in each movie. when you go over to the DCEU they're trying so hard to get to the justice league and they haven't even made a batman movie yet!!!

i also think this is why the mcu started sucking after age of ultron because they stopped making stand alone movies and instead made a cinematic experience where you had to go to antman: 17 revenge of the cockroaches just so you could see an ensemble movie where deadpool crosses the multiverse to find spiderman's girlfriend for an ocean's 11 team up with moon knight

#THESE MOVIES ARE EXHAUSTING BY THE TIME YOU HIT PHASE THREE #like??? #you have to watch wandavision and MAYBE loki to understand wtf is going on in DOCTOR STRANGE'S movie #during phase 1 & 2 i did not have to watch a single thor or captain america movie to understand what was going on in the iron man films #and vise vera fr #and then you go over to whatever the FUCK is going on with dc and star wars and guess what its so incoherent that i've watched every #property associated with the franchise and i have no fucking clue what's going on #mcu #mcu critical #except not really? #dceu critical #star wars critical #this isn't anti anything i'm just throwing it in the tag #marvel cinematic universe

“Every breath you take” by the police and “Somebody’s watching me” by Rockwell is such a good stalker-victim parallel that I’m surprised no one’s really capitalize on it.

guy who think of nothing but mortal kombat and tekken all day: got a lot of mortal kombat and tekken vibes from this

#anyway saw that shang-chi movie👍 #with the combination above you'd think and guess I wouldve had a blast with it #and I kinda did but sadly it has the stain of the MCU on it. so yknow how it is #tagging later

Ok I guess mcu is calling Monica rambeau photon. That’s so dumb, it makes her sound weak like a single photon of light. Spectrum sounds better, more unique, and literally describes her goddamn powers.

#monica rambeau #mcu critical #am tag #they went with the investor friendly name cause spectrum invokes autism and sexuality I guess

[amarriageoftrueminds]

thought I keep having about Bucky:

The Winter Soldier is often referred to as an ‘assassin,’ but:

an assassin is a respected freelancer 

who gets to voluntarily choose that profession

to choose what contracts they take

AND gets paid at the end.

Bucky doesn't meet any of those criteria!

#bucky barnes #mini meta #new tag? #bucky meta #meta #mcu #mcu meta #also I guess an assassin could choose that profession while not of sound mind (like TWS) but even so they DO get to choose #also: an assassin has to be sneaky to do their job effectively #whereas TWS had a global intelligence agency covering up everything he did on missions making him a ghost story #so he could afford to stroll around like a slow wrecking ball... #not caring about witnesses or getting caught on camera... #which in retrospect means bucky managing to stay un-captured for 2+ years is actually super impressive #cuz if you think about it the skillset of 'how to avoid the notice of global intelligence agencies'... #is the LAST thing hydra would want TWS to be proficient in #at least not in the MCU...
