Loki S O1 EP 02

I watched a little further and it’s actually “witchfinder colonel Dalrymple” this is so fun

Okay how is nobody talking about the fact that Nina called Maggie “angel” when they were having their little chat with Crowley in the last episode ?????

Also I’m rewatching season 1 and just noticed that sergeant Shadwell mentions Me Dalrymple in ep. 5 after coming back from the bookshop.

He says “nobody’s ever done what I’ve done. Not Hopkins, not Siftings, not Dalrymple.”

Ma-ia hi

Ma-ia ho

Ma-ia ha

Ma-ia ha ha

“Have a biscuit, Potter” (sooo badass) but also Hufflepuff

nice costume choice: one of mcgonagall’s more iconic outfits in the movies was green

Bucky, after being dramatic af and dropping all those bullets in front of Zemo:

Preach

I will not even lie, I get a sick enjoyment out of seeing the passing Tony anti hate on Endgame. (And this is the only acknowledgment I will even pay this hateful subgroup ever again.) 

But, like, damn. Tony died, which you think would make these maladjusted types jizz themselves because half of them are the kind of sadistic weirdos who make fun of child abuse and stuff, but they’re too busy being entitled babies to enjoy hardly anything about the film except some surface-level flair. 

One of the biggest box office hits of all time and y’all are that salty, huh? One of the most positively received comic book films of all time made you that mad, huh? How’s it feel losing again? 

Tony went out the literal Savior of the Universe. He might be dead, but, he went out with a memorable bang. Tony fans are sad, but we’re thriving. We’re so proud of our man for being THE REAL HERO. 

Woman: From the video presentation it's clear that sexual harassment can take many forms in the workplace. A coworker with elevator eyes looking you up and down, a coworker shows you a cartoon or photo of a sexual nature.

Tony: If you're lucky.

Woman: A coworker's hand accidentally brushes up against your body.

Ziva: If you're really lucky.

Woman: Physical contact can be divided into three categories. Green light includes normal behavior. Yellow light includes borderline behavior such as hugging someone...

[Abby raises her hand.]

Woman: Yes?

Abby: What's wrong with hugging people? I hug people all the time.

Woman: You may see it as friendly, but your coworkers may find it offensive.

Abby: You guys get offended when I hug you?!

[everyone mutters no]

Abby: [happily] I am hugging you all in my mind right now.

Woman: DOD policy is very clear about this point, miss. You must first ask permission before making physical contact with a coworker.

Abby: Like, every time?

Woman: Yes. Finally there's red light behavior such as deliberate unwelcome touching.

Ziva leans forward and licks Tony's ear and neck, causing him to stand up in suprise.]

Woman: Another question?

Tony: Uh, yeah. If you slap someone on the back of the head like this... [slaps McGee's head, McGee slaps back] would that be considered inappropriate behavior?

Woman: Absolutely. Are you saying that this has actually happened?

[Jenny looks at Gibbs. Gibbs shares a look with Tony.]

Tony: ...No. Just wondering, that's all.

[Palmer raises his hand.]

Woman: Yes?

Palmer: What if your job includes touching, ah, naked people...

Woman: That is inappropriate at any time.

Palmer: Even if they're dead?

Woman: [sternly] Why are you touching dead naked people?!

Palmer: Well, I work in autopsy...

When I think about it, aside from the heartbreak in the final minutes, Endgame was full of the most amazing Tony Stark development and characterization. He was just so good in the movie. Like… as much as it doesn’t feel like it sometimes because we lost our hero, Tony fans were incredibly well-fed. 

Tony’s compassion was emphasized during his short scenes with Nebula in space. During the game with Tony, Nebula was finally able to win for once in her life.

Tony’s feelings were given time to breathe in the film. We see him reaching out to Pepper in the earliest moments, expressing his desire to see her again. It shows how much of a romantic he’s always been.

Tony got to air his grievances with Steve over the fallout with Civil War without being forced to apologize.

We got to see that Tony led a happy and fulfilling life for at least five years with his family. He and Pepper were happily married. Tony and Pepper have an amazing little girl together.

Tony is portrayed as a damn good father. Showing that he broke the cycle. He’s a better man than Howard will ever be. 

It was Tony who cracked time-travel, which should’ve been impossible.

It was Tony who ultimately made it possible to bring everyone back, because he selflessly put aside his concerns for his family (and his own happiness) to make the leap. Meaning: none of this would’ve worked without Tony’s brains (ability to find the solution) and his heart (willingness to help others).

We got classic Stark nicknames like “Blue Meanie” and “Lebowski.” 

Tony and Steve finally got to resolve their trust issues and work together. Tony’s the one who gave Steve his shield back. (And we also got Tony blatantly checking out Steve’s ass–and commenting on it.) 

Tony was always there to check and make sure the team were okay (ex: trying to get Thor to sit down when he got emotional recounting what happened during the events of Dark World; giving Bruce medical treatment after he snapped the gauntlet; telling Thor he was in no condition to use the gauntlet; checking up on Steve after the Compound exploded (”That’s my man!”))

Regardless of one’s feelings about Howard, Tony was finally able to find closure with his father, which he desperately needed. 

Tony had the strength to harness all six infinity stones without it doubling him over in pain. (He’s a badass bitch.)

Tony had the willpower to snap his fingers, knowing all it would cost him.

Tony Stark saved the fucking universe. He was literally “The One.” How many other characters can say the same? 

There’s a reason most critics are saying Tony was the emotional core of the story and RDJ’s performance was the highlight of the film. While other characters might’ve had more flashy moments or funnier lines, while other characters might’ve gotten happy endings, and Tony didn’t, the heartbeat of the film really did resound inside Tony. No doubt, he had the best story arc through the entire MCU–and Endgame was no different.

Anyway… that’s just some positive outlook. I know we’re all heartbroken by the ending. We had to say goodbye to Tony. His ending wasn’t fair. He leaves behind so much. But, in the grand scheme, Tony’s arc in this film was beautiful. It was the film.

So I thought I would show her some” (lexi rabe)

Morgan stark being a proud daughter of iron man/tony stark and rescue/pepper Potts ♥️

sacrifice plays tony stark has been willing to make (and has made) in the mcu:

iron man 1: commanded pepper to blow up the stark industries roof with him still on it in order to stop ironmonger, knowing it could potentially kill him as well 

avengers: flew a nuke through a wormhole into space on a suicide mission in order to destroy the chitauri armada and save the world

iron man 3: in a deleted scene, tony took out his arc reactor to use as a defibrillator to save a young boy’s life, and went into cardiac arrest as the shrapnel crawled further and further towards his heart 

age of ultron: placed himself underneath a falling city to blow it up before it caused global destruction, knowing he may not walk away 

infinity war: begged strange not to trade the time stone away to spare his life after thanos had impaled him and was about to finish him off with the gauntlet

endgame: wielded the infinity stones to turn thanos and his entire army to dust, knowing the price was his own life

sacrifice plays thor has been willing to make in the mcu:

thor 1: offered his life in exchange for loki to cease his attack on the town and his newfound friends

infinity war: risked killing himself in order to forge stormbreaker for the chance to kill thanos

endgame: practically begged to put the gauntlet on to snap everybody back before tony stopped him because he wasn’t in any mental condition to make that choice

sacrifice plays natasha romanoff has been willing to make (and has made) in the mcu:

aou: was willing to stay on sokovia and die with everybody she thought they wouldn’t be able to save before fury surprised them with the helicarrier

endgame: sacrificed her own life on vormir to give the team the chance to bring everybody thanos dusted back

sacrifice plays clint barton has been willing to make in the mcu:

aou: shielded the young boy in his arms with his own body when ultron started shooting in their direction

endgame: was also willing to sacrifice his own life on vormir but natasha beat him to it

endgame: could be argued that offering himself up as the guinea pig for the time travel test run was a form of a sacrifice play 

sacrifice plays bruce banner has been willing to make in the mcu:

ragnarok: changed into hulk to help thor save asgard, risking relinquishing all control to hulk, knowing he may never be able to turn back

endgame: wielded the gauntlet to bring everybody back, at great physical cost (he didn’t even know for sure if he’d even survive it)

sacrifice plays steve rogers has been willing to make in the mcu:

the first avenger: jumped on a (fake) grenade

the first avenger: flew a plane into the arctic to save his country

i really don’t understand why steve is painted as the noble, self-sacrificing hero when the rest of the avengers have actually been willing to make more sacrifice plays than he has?? steve isn’t even in the top half of the list!! tony has first place with the amount of times he’s been willing to lay his life on the line to save others yet he’s often painted as selfish and egotistical. post-tfa, steve legit became all talk. in endgame, he told everybody else to do “whatever it takes” while not really putting in the same effort himself. and in the end, he just went back in time and rewarded himself with a long happy life, abandoning everybody else in the present. he got everything back, while; tony sacrificed his life and left behind a family, nat sacrificed her life for clint’s family, thor had to accept his entire family and best friends are all dead, and bruce has to live with a physical handicap and the loss of nat. honestly, don’t talk to me about how noble and morally superior captain america is because endgame proved that he kinda isn’t… 

Why didn’t I know this five years ago
