#team this movie sucks

[khentkawes]

OMG, why do I keep watching Captain America: Civil War every time I find it on tv when I know that I'm just going to spend the whole time yelling at Team Cap!

Every time! My cat has to listen to me yelling at Cap and Comapny for their stupidity, their arrogance, their refusal to take responsibility for literally anything while spouting nonsense about how signing the accords would mean they weren't taking responsibility (seriously, how does Chris Evans say this dialogue? It makes no bloody sense!), and trying to murder Team Iron Man by crushing them underneath cars/planes/whole pieces of an airport/Scott's gigantic shoe. Team Cap escalted that fight almost immediately to possibly lethal levels. And then Scott acts like a child, relishing the destruction, when he literally almost KILLED Rhodey when he tried to step on him! Scott is a funny, lovable character in the Ant Man movies, but here, he's a frightening child with unspeakable powers and no limitations who is apparently willing to kill other avengers just to "be in the cool club"? And Team Cap is all like, "we can't call Tony, he'd never believe us and he'd never help us," when literally the first time Tony is presented with a shred of proof that they are right, he drops everything and puts himself at risk to help them--no questions asked. And Cap is all "my faith is in people" at the end of the movie, but earlier he complained that the accords were bad because the UN was "people and people have agendas." Um, dude, you have an agenda too. So you don't actually put your faith in individuals then? And hold up, Captain America should put his faith in the IDEALS THAT THIS COUNTRY IS MEANT TO REPRESENT! Ideals like justice, democracy, standing up to dictators, embracing immigrants, holding our leaders accountable, protecting the weak, etc. But the MCU's Cap doesnt care much about ideals. He cares about people... and only certain people apparently.

This time around I've realized that I only like two members of Team Cap: Bucky and Scarlet Witch. But I like Wanda mostly for her development in WandaVision, and even then, I like her in the same way I like Anakin Skywalker.... they are both a couple of hot messes always on the line between doing the right thing and committing mass murder / supporting nazis or facsiats because its convenient. Wanda was always a villain! A sympathetic and fascinating villain, but she's no less of a villain than Anakin (well, marvel is a little less murdery than SW... but still... Wanda has always been willing to do drastic things to get what she wants, no matter who gets hurt along the way).

I do have to hand it to the Russos... parts of this movie are compelling and nuanced... and then there are all of the Team Cap lines (which aren't). But either way, it makes me feel too many feelings every damn time. So... if they wanted to evoke feelings, they sure as hell succeeded!

#captain america civil war #team iron man #also... #team this movie sucks #captain america critical #mcu critical #russo brothers critical #how can i have such intense feelings of love and hatred fir this movie? #some of the bits with tony and rhodey are wonderful #peter parker and t'challa are a delight and a masterful performance respectively #the attempt at nuance with the accords was so nice #but the execution of it failed because team cap is full of morons who just want to play with the big kids (scott)... #and morons who sacrifice their ideals and contradict themselves while only caring about being doing whatever they want whenever they want #(steve; sam; wanda; clint) #bucky is the only team cap character who doesnt deserve all the shit thay happens to them

[irondad-defensesquad]

so i agree that civil war feels more like an avengers movie than a captain america movie, but to me it also failed when it made tony a lot more sympathetic than the titular character we're supposed to root for

#i went to the theater expecting to side with cap #but as the movie went on #i was like 'hey. hey wait tony is right' #like i just resonated with him more #and at the time i was actually a big cap fan #the movie sucks but it reminded me of how much i love tony. so i guess that's a positive lmao #PLUS! it gave us irondad #lotus speaks #tony stark defense squad #anti steve rogers #anti team cap #(not rlly. just tagging for blacklist purposes)

Re-watching the New Moon movie and I have many Thoughts(tm), namely

Why is the cinematography is so warm toned compared to the first movie when New Moon is the most depressing book and truly the worst era of Bella’s young life: A Mystery in 2 Hours

At least Pattinson!Edward looks a little better than usual. They put him in these crisp suits. Very nice (Edit: Never mind, that awful Volturi bathrobe with the pasty-ass makeup was horrific yuck, yuck, yuck)

They just had to introduce Jacob this early on, didn’t they? And ofc Bella is much more emotive and gets all the witty dialogue with him (!!). In the books she is much more romantic and wittier with Edward as a whole. Jacob tended to bring out her immature side

“How come Jacob Black gets to give you a gift and I can’t?” “Because I have nothing to give back to you” Nice to know the screenwriter(s) still doesn’t understand the Bedward dynamic. And by nice I mean horrific

…What film version of R&J are they watching??? It’s not the ‘30s version and definitely not the ‘60s or ‘90s one. Is it the ‘70s BBC one? In the book it was the ‘60s version, which is the correct answer. Did they not get the rights? Also, also, why are the human characters much more affected by R&J than Bella and Edward????

“[Romeo] Killed his only love out of sheer stupidity” “Yeah” Oh no, no, no, no, movie, you are not going to make Bella, a close Romeo iteration, agree with Edward!!! Edward is meant to be 100% wrong by his take. Dumbass script!!!

Edward: “Eyes, look your last” 😐 Couldn’t Pattinson just inject a little bit more feeling into his line reading? Most of Edward’s objections were Romeo’s actions, not his suicide. These are the lines Edward can and should relate to.

The movie people garbing the Volturi in 18th century clothing when they are older than the Romans is just laughable

“Dating an older woman. Hot.” Okay, Emmett is 💯, no notes. Definitely erred on the side of frat boy, but you know what, it’s fun and ho boy do these movies lack it

Bella holding up her whole bloody finger in a coven of vampires 💀 Why, movie

Stewart!Bella’s chemistry with almost everyone else in the cast (that scene with Carlisle tending her wound!!!) but Pattinson!Edward confirms what I have known all along: Film and real life chemistry are very different and they shouldn’t be confused. The proof is in the celluloid.

I’m just going to call it: Stewart and Pattinson are modern subtle quirky actors playing what are essentially neo-Gothic star-crossed lover roles. They absolutely should never have been considered for these parts at all by a competent director. Absolutely not fitting at all

“You’re just not good for me.” Hmm, this is what Bella believes about herself, not Edward. I suppose Edward could have done it on purpose, but the fact that he was flabbergasted his lie worked indicates that he doesn’t. Movie just straight up portrays him as more manipulative than in the books, where he just lies baldly

Oh God the months-on-the-screen thing was terrible. This movie fails so much at portraying Bella’s depression, it hurts. It’s like visual SparkNotes

The Bella-writing-to-Alice device sucks. Not too badly, but still. We had her voiceover in the first movie without any problems but for this one, we need a justification? Also, it fuels the Bella/Alice fan dumb something awful

Really dislike the way they did Hallucination!Edward with the ghostly transparent effect. It’s corny and also…way to pass up a chance at some mystery and intrigue by just having Edward be there without any special effects (maybe keep the echoing voice). I guess they really didn’t want people confused and think he returned when he didn’t. But c’mon.

Movie Bella going off with the biker 🤮 Book Bella at her most insane would never. The only good thing about it is that it does lead to Bella having an interest in motorcycles. Efficient movie storytelling and all that.

“Bella, where the hell have you been, loca?” Wonder why this line became so meme-worthy. It’s by far not the worst (“spider monkey” is perhaps the most awful) and Lautner’s delivery was natural enough. Is it the random Spanish? It is random.

Bella is already smiling at her first scene with Jacob…this movie is just awful at selling her desolation. Meanwhile Jacob’s first thought was how awful Bella looked

The Quileute characters are well-cast and nicely played so far, and their banter is good. Emily especially is beautiful and her scar makeup was convincing. Great

Book: “He took off his shirt” Movie: He took off his ~~~~shirt 😍

Laurent’s arrival and his death should have been a much better and weightier scene than we got. God, the pacing is so bad in this movie. Jacob becomes a werewolf, Bella finds the meadow, Laurent suddenly arrives—all within a minute or so. Ugh

“As soon as you put the dog out.” Damn, why, movie? Book Alice did not begin the slurs until she was well and truly angry. But sure, let’s do some really obvious racebaiting 🙄

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Jacob KNEW he was talking to Edward and not Carlisle????? Movie, wtf? And all to save up on some screen time…sigh

Bella: “I can let you go now.” What. The. Fuck. Movie????? Not only could she not let Edward go, Bella never wanted to let him go. That was and had never been her arc!!! She would have gone to Edward regardless of anything!!! I hate this, I hate this oh GOD

No, I’m not done, I need another bullet point for this BS. The whole reason why Twilight was picked up to be adapted in the first place was because Hollywood execs saw “Ooh Romeo and Juliet with vampires 🤑” written all over this one…only for the actual filmmakers to just say, “Actually her whole ~journey this movie is letting go of Edward uwu” Poor Meyer…she just had to grin and bear it until she became the producer, I suppose

*Bella and Edward having a whole-ass conversation and making out* *Felix and Demetri watching in the shadows*: “So…should we interru—” “Don’t you DARE” “Felix” 🤣 I’m sorry, but this whole “I lied I do love you” convo should have been in the bedroom scene proper; there are literal Volturi about!!! Also, also, no “Amazing. Carlisle is right”!!! No Romeo quote!!!! Fie, for shame

Dakota Fanning as Jane…Well, probably not perfection, but she is great as usual. The Volturi got done so dirty overall, though—they look and act like Vampire Diaries rejects.

THAT ELEVATOR SCENE, OH GOD. So much meme potential. Why does this series keep injecting humor and comedy where there shouldn’t be and just ditching the actual humor and comedy of the actual books?????

Again, these Volturi gives me discount Vampire Diaries. Also, that chamber is so damn small. Where is the mystique, the grandiosity?There should be a crowd of vampires around, it’s their dinnertime.

Michael Sheen is just too British for the la tua cantante, lol. He also says something else (“Forse le vostre l’uno per altro”??? The accent is just too thick). He’s way too handsy (movie, they’re regular vampires who are sharks!!) but overall I guess his creepy-genteel approach works. Again, the cringy script fucks him over, as it does everyone. The movie has him touch Edward only now and not immediately when he meets him. Oh, God.

Edward just stumbling forward to Jane’s demonstration on Bella 💀 Jane saying “Pain” and Edward just standing there instead of collapsing 💀 Stewart!Bella freaking out and begging them to stop…actually, no, there she did very well, I liked it

Edward and Felix fighting ewwww…and with that awful slow-mo. What’s with these movies and including non-canonical battle shit???? Also, Aro would not order Bella’s execution if simply because he wants to collect Edward/Alice and Bella once she turns (it’s obvious she is a shield).

Of course fucking Alice speaks up at the very last minute before Aro chomps on Bella!!! When she would have had a vision of this exact scenario!!! This movie I swear!!!

THEY ACTUALLY SHOW THE VISION OF VAMPIRE BELLA, OH GOD. AND WITH THE CORNY SLOW-MO. KILL ME

“Once Alice changes me, you can’t get rid of me.” Okay, Movie Bella is officially more interested in immortality than Edward, the exact opposite of her book counterpart. Dishonor on your cow, Rosenberg.

“Jake, I love you.” Aaaaaand it’s official, the movies are definitely Team Jacob. Fuck you, too, movie

#new moon #twilight #cristina watches #the twilight saga #it’s a special kind of trainwreck apart from the first movie #also what was with patt!edward’s makeup here ew #they ruined the volturi why #also this movie was so team jacob it wasn’t funny #billy burke once again being the best #poor meyer…i mean it could have been worse definitely #also the scoring sucked #super generic and anemic

[petvengers]

so yeah, I'm kinda excited for thunderbolts :D

#petvengers #thunderbolts #bucky barnes #winter soldier #ava starr #ghost #antonia dreykov #taskmaster #contessa valentina allegra de fontaine #yelena belova #black widow #john walker #us agent #alexei shostakov #red guardian #seriously this movie has potential to be either really great or suck sooooo hard #but i miss my team movies so yeah #keeping my fingers crossed #what gives me hope is that this movie can't really be cgi heavy #which im tired of and frankly disgusted by how disney treats the artists #instead the make it or break it will have to be actual choreography #which they can do #shang chi had wonderfull choreography but then they just had to fuck up the finale with damn cgi dragon #and it took away from confrontation with wenwu which should be the emotional core of the finale #but noooooo #damn im still salty about that

[doomednarrative]

I'm gonna be Completely honest and this is Not a dig at anyone who did like it btw but. Death Island. Kinda sucked in my opinion.

#i had fun watching with claire and ethan cause i always do with them #and i have enjoyed what we could pull from it for au stuff #but like. as far as The Actual Execution of the concepts of this movie #they did a piss poor job #the animation felt WORSE than vendetta and vendetta was SIX YEARS AGO. WHY #voicd acting was off #dylan sucked as a villain in my opinion #and just!! they could have done so much more with the girls and just with Everyone as a team specifically but they Dont and it Feels Bad!! #maybe its jsut because im not resident evil pilled rn or something but i love damnation and vendetta Way better than this one #but fr tho justice for all the girls cause both capcom AND the fandom is shit to them #me talking #death island

Round 1A, Match 3: The Predator (Predator) vs. The Blair Witch (The Blair Witch Project)

PROPAGANDA FOR THE PREDATOR:

"The OG ugly motherf***er."

THERE WAS NO PROPAGANDA SUBMITTED FOR THE BLAIR WITCH. IF YOU WISH TO SUBMIT PROPAGANDA, THE ASK BOX SHOULD BE OPEN.

#predator #the predator #predator movie #the blair witch project #the blair witch #blair witch #horror villain tourney #btw im team predator bc i kinda think the blair witch project sucks

[084392]

[significant-ace-nnoyance]

dont mind me just sobbing over the whole strange world situation

what the fuck is wrong with people. like the way i just have to sit here and watch as they purposefully sabotage our chance for representation. ive been crying about this to various news articles for 30 minutes because this is just so messed up???? and i’m seeing homophobic people use this as an excuse to 1) condemn their beloved ‘wokeness’??? for no reason??? and 2) use it as an excuse for why gay representation shouldn’t exist. and they sound so. angry. and i just. don’t understand? why do you have so much hate? why are you so angry? i am a literal teen sitting in my bedroom on a saturday night crying about the way a multi national corporation is devaluing my life and contributing to destructive narratives that erase and oppress queer people in real life as a result… do you think i want to be here??? they have no idea of the damage this shit does and they don’t even care to listen

it just makes me sad. please be kind to people <3

#and plus like just seeing that cast of characters made my heart so happy. why tf can we not have casual diversity without a fucking catch #plus they get the fucking praise of “omg first gay mc in a disney film!!!!’ FOR NO REASON. LIKE YES WE GET IT U SUCK AT REPRESENTATION AND #FINALLY HAD A TEAM THAT DID A CASUALLY QUEER MC AND THEN DELIBERATELY SABOTAGED THE MOVIE???? #time to watch more conan gray yt so i can emotionally recover enough to do my hw #lgbtq #strange world

[nightswatchdisbandmentera]

I wish studios were more willing to give us different forms of superhero media. Like, the Into the Spider-verse series has been so good at taking a well known IP and giving us a different approach to it, such that the movies have been doing really well despite other current superhero flicks underperforming and people screaming about “superhero fatigue” every two seconds (though I guess it also helps that Spider-Man is one of the most profitable comic book IPs out there).

It sucks that studios aren’t really thinking out of the box - especially Warner Brothers. The Flash would’ve been the perfect DC guinea pig for this imo, especially the flashpoint paradox which is tailor made for a multiverse type animated picture. Just thinking of how we could get the different people who have carried the mantle of the Flash (Barry, Wally, Jay) and also introduce key supers from the JL. Maybe even make Wally the protag of the animated feature because the general public already has the cw show in their conscious, so a different Flash in a different style might have been interesting (also people - rightfully - prefer Grant over Ezra so…). Idk there’s been a real missed opportunity here and it sucks.

#the new flash movie is actually not bad at all! #I mean ok if we discount the very very humongous elephant in the room that is ezra miller #but the idea is there and it’s not bad #we already have an animated flashpoint movie that was really good imo #but it doesn’t have the blockbuster budget that was needed #I think with the right team an animated flash that took a few leaves out of the ITSV series would’ve been amazing #as it would’ve given us something refreshing in the dceu - which has so far been a mixed bag of mostly misses #I’m not saying that an animated feature would’ve fixed all the issues dc is having rn #and the difference is that into the spiderverse can also tie into the goodwill that the mceu has built over the last decade or so #but it just would’ve been something different in the almost saturated superhero market #and it’s easier to separate an animated feature from the live action movie catalogue - which again had been pretty bad for dc in general #I’m just saying that if we’re going to do flashpoint make it an animated feature #and love action flash just kinda sucks imo #ezra is NOT a good barry allen- like at all #grant gustin is light years away better but I also don’t think he’s that great #the best flash has always been the animated one #and dcau has always been really really solid #we could’ve had a winning combo…if only wb didn’t fk up #le sigh #the flash #dc #dceu

[annoyingatfirst]

are u hyped for the next madoka magica movie

YES

#i didn’t feel like blogging today so my insanity was hidden from the public eye. until now #IT LOOKS FUCKING CRAZY i have full faith in the team bc the main series + rebellion are sooooooo good #but am also frightened by the idea of them potentially introducing twists for the sake of twists and derailing the story #and people mentioning magia record which apparently fucking sucks 😭 #NOT TO BE DEBBY DOWNER but the core story of madoka thus far is so dear to me so if they’re reviving it after over a decade… #i want it to be a fitting and fulfilling conclusion and not leave us all more confused and such… another open ended cliffhanger of sorts #Unless they’re planning on more content after this movie #but a part of me would also love if the main cast’s story finally got concluded and they could just rest 💀 #TLDR i feel like this series very easily has the potential/ability to be never ending and i don’t want that. bc it’s not fulfilling #BUT ON A MORE POSITIVE NOTE (overall i am extremely excited btw and it looks amazing from the promos) #IF IT TURNS OUT HOMURA/THE QUINTET ARE A PART OF WALPURGIS AND THEY WERE FIGHTING THEMSELVES IN A LOOP ALL ALONG I WILL GO CRAZY #<- EX LITTLE NIGHTMARES #THANK YOY FOR THE ASK!!!! ❤️

DtS will one day pay for making some fans believe Daniel Ricciardo is a victim in all cases and scenarios and needs girlies' saving from the big bad evil! God😒

Why isn't everyone just happy he's leaving the "toxic abusive" environment you all hate for him so much? I'm happy for him cause that relationship between the two just didn't work!

#like yeah you like the guy..cool that's alright. #but hoping and praying and losing sleep over the downfall of his teammate.. that's unhinged #Manchester..my team... sucks ass #they have sucked ass since 2013 and they're still sucking ass till today #they're not tye victim they're just shit #management and players and coach and e everything is shit #it's ok tho cause sometimes the people we like are shit #sometimes we like an actor and he becomes shit in his most recent show/movie #it's not always his own fault but sometimes it is and that's ok

[rocking-chairr]

idk man seeing ppl talk about how they gave rottmnt a chance after seeing clips of the fight scenes/animation/serious tone of the movie and realizing that it was actually good despite shitting on it when it came out just makes me a lil bitter.

#rottmnt #like obviously the team put their everything into the movie for fans to enjoy but Nick wanted this movie to attract ppl who didn't like the #show as well #hence the serious tone and increased amount of god tier fight scenes and animation boost #(these are all present in the show but are more enhanced for the movie i feel) #and yeah it worked #but still thinking about how it took like the show's supposed 'last breath' for haters to realise hey maybe i should watch this #if 'maybe i was too harsh on you' was a collective term #like the damage has been done . thank you for giving it a chance but that doesn't take back the treatment of this show #im bitter and imsorry but it just sucks that a perfectly good show is relying on this movie to do well to BREATHE because a bunch of people #couldn't accept change #anyway glad its getting teh recognition it deserves #this is mainly evidence from twitter and my sister

[cottagecryptic]

got into a conversation with a coworker about high school musical and the sheer amount of correct information i was able to gather from the recesses of my 6yo mind tells me everything I need to know about whether or not i have autism

#the double metaphor in hsm2 of ‘i dont dance’ with troy’s very obv gay crush on his bestie #and the fact that theyre all on a baseball field playing which hits the second half - playing for the other team #sharpay evans is a closeted lesbian dealing with compulsive heterosexuality #troy getting jealous over ryan?? thinking he was gonna take gabriella away from him?? like sir that is the gayest man i have ever seen #bet on it? #that weird fish princess scene after a private dinner in the second movie?? #the fact that the third movie sucked iirc #tez talks #there was just a LOT going on

[ladysophiebeckett]

the musical version of mean girls made me care about cady and aaron, where as the original i was very meh about them. however, both versions storywise still leave me feeling unsatisfied.

#my confession is i dont like janis and they still didnt do any resolution between janis and regina #cady feels responsible for everything and a lot of it is her fault #but both regina and janis were using her in different ways #and janis is never really confronted about that #and that still bothers me #i dont really believe in the friendship in either versions #also---this movie is badly directed #but idk if that was bc paramount was too involved in making the directors suck the broadway out of the musical #or if it was just the directors or a team effort #gretchen and karen are such after thoughts here when in the original movie i would say #all 4 of the plastics had room to shine #very uneven musical movie
