I’ve only seen this post in screenshots on pinterest. I love it.
I think you missed the other fanboy…
Love this
Everybody says Seb isn’t like Bucky… but he IS. He’s Bucky without a mask on. Bucky’s always wearing some sort of mask. Even around Steve. Seb is what Bucky would be like if he’d had the chance to just ~be~.
Thor is the next feminist film you’ve been waiting to see since Wonderwoman (spoilers!)
* Hela is a badass female villain who is so powerful and unbeatable they have to create a super-powered team to combat ONLY her
* Thor admits Hela is the rightful heir to the Asgardian throne (over him)…and the only reason he fights her for it is because but she’s a warmongering asshole
* Valkyrie drinks like a sailor, is drunk half the time (and not in a cute, giggly, girly way – the chick is hammered) and gives zero fucks about your sob story – plus, instead of getting the usual tragic victim backstory reserved for women, she has the guilt-ridden backstory and character arc usually reserved for male anti-hero characters
* The movie is female-gazey af – Valkyrie is fully covered in utilitarian armor the whole film, but Hulk has a naked ass shot and Thor walks around like a Chippendale dancer half the time…and the camera is super into it
* The most elite warriors in Asgard were a group of women on flying horses
* Thor admitted he wanted to join the Valkyries as a boy – when he learned they were all women it didn’t make him want to join less, he was just bummed out bc he knew they wouldn’t take him
* Nobody ever calls Hela a ‘bitch’, and nobody underestimates her scary ass just bc she’s a woman – she might be the most frightening villain Marvel has had outside of Thanos
* Though there are definitely stirrings of romantic interest between Valkyrie and Thor that may be explored in future films, she’s not the *love interest* character – Thor wants her around bc she can fight
i forgot to mention what I love most about ragnarok: that rangarok took all of the character assassination bullshit from the dark world and age of ultron and turned it on its ass.
dark world implies loki killed his father to take the crown? ragnarok makes loki a blassé and nonviolent leader that just dropped his dad off at a nursing home. GOD OF MISCHIEF. not god of death or god of pain and suffering. MISCHIEF. 100% the most in-character Loki Thing he’s done since the first thor movie. not only that but not for one second does thor ever think loki capable of killing their father. because he isn’t.
the dark world makes thor say a bunch of horrible and damaging things to loki? ragnarok has him still struggle with it but legitimately come to rational terms with everything enough to show their disfunctional but ultimately loving relationship.
age of ultron creates the dumbest romantic trope in the history of man between natasha and bruce? ragnarok makes so much fun of it to the point where it’s shown to be as ridiculous as it is.
the dark world AND age of ultron make thor this broody and unfunny mythical being? ragnarok fuckin made sure that was no longer the case because what makes thor so wonderful is his moral compass, aloofness, and kindness.
they literally fixed the infinity gauntlet plot hole in 0.0002 seconds. this movie took everything wrong with the MCU and fuckin fixed it
everyone like “oh no i hope the avengers don’t die”
and i’m here like “thanos can have dr strange”?
Clint: [clicking pen]
Natasha: [clicks pen in response]
Phil: Stop that.
Clint: Stop what?
Phil: You’re talking about me in morse code.
Natasha: Yeah, that’s what we’re doing. In our very limited free time, we took a class on a very outdated, very unnecessary form of communication just so we could talk about you in front of you.
