Why Peter And Mj Are Important (far From Home Spoilers)

why peter and mj are important (far from home spoilers)

when spiderman was first created (1962) and when Mary Jane Watson was first introduced (1965) interracial marriage was still illegal in the United States. (Loving v Virginia, the supreme court case that legalized it, didn’t happen until 1967)

50 years later, MJ is black and we have an interracial onscreen kiss between the two characters

and that’s actually a pretty big deal

Goncharov Lore (“Gonchlore” if you will) Masterpost

Note: this is regarding the lore made up by tumblr collaboratively about a fake Martin Scorsese film. See the post that started it all and fake poster.

Goncharov was released in 1973. It was written by Matteo JWHJ 0715 and directed (?) and/or possibly co-written by Martin Scorsese. Scorsese’s big name helped popularize the film, but as a result JWHJ 0715’s significant contribution is often overlooked

Goncharov was forgotten and was actually difficult to acquire for many years. This may have been due to corporations hoarding rights and access, the actually mafia targeting distribution of the film, other factors, or a combination of these. This led to pirating of the film, which allegedly led to pirating discourse surrounding the film

There are talks of a Goncharov II or remake

Goncharov is a mafia boss in Naples of Russian origin. His wife/fiancée is named Katya, also of Russian origin. Goncharov may or may not have fled Russia, and may or may not have been pursued by someone trying to get him back to Russia, possibly to face legal justice. One such person trying to do this could be Valery Michailov

Valery Michailov in Katya’s sister. He may resent Goncharov due to his relationship with his sister and due to Goncharov being wanted by the Russian government. He is somewhat patriotic, possibly a former government worker or soldier.

Katya’s last name is either Michailova or Goncharova (although possibly with the wrong suffix). Her relationship with Goncharov is strained, tense, and possibly loveless. She ends up betraying him in the end. This is often seen as a subversion on the typical tropes for women in mafia movies.

At some point, Katya is on a bridge with Goncharov. At some point, Katya points a gun at Goncharov. At some point, Katya is injured on a boat/in a boathouse.

Katya is amicable with someone named Sofia, who has brown hair. She also has subtextual homoerotic tension with her

Sofia may be working class/poorer than many of the other characters are.

Goncharov has subtextual homoerotic tension with someone named Andrey. Andrey is Goncharov’s old friend/best friend/nemesis/enemy/competitor. There is at least one instance of one of them trying to kill the other.

Ice pick Joe is played by John Cazale, making this his 6th movie. He has a famous 10 minute scene with Katya, and at some point dies, also possibly at the hands of Katya.

Mario Ambrosini works with Goncharov, possibly as a lackey or number two. At some point in the middle of the story, he betrays Goncharov and Goncharov tells him that he “never wants to see [Mario] again”. It is unclear what happens to him after that. Mario also has a relationship with Andrey that some have described as “fascinating”. It is unclear how.

There is a clock motif in Goncharov, and a general theme regarding “running out of time” before death. There are a few characters who seem at the very least subconsciously aware of the fact that they have little time until their death. The film also deals with the theme of fate, of death and tragedy being and inevitable thing for these characters.

Goncharov dies at the end of the movie, due to someone’s betrayal.

Goncharov (1973) was heavily influenced by the American Cold War propaganda of the time. Some argue that it plays right into the stereotypes of Russians, others say it is a clever subversion of the propaganda and stereotypes of the time.

We Made It

Okay so uh, we made it is literally ABOUT Harry. And I’m kinda flipping my shit. (I wasn’t a directioner okay I found myself really loving Harry’s music when he went solo so now I’ve been drawn into this hot mess.)

But like the lyrics are so clearly about his time with one direction AND it is a love song. Like come on:

We Made It

By Louis Tomlinson

'Cause we made it

Underestimated

And always underrated

Now we're saying goodbye

Waving to the hard times

Yeah, it's gonna be alright

Like the first time

Met you at your doorstep

Remember how we tasted

Looking into your eyes

Baby, you were still high

Never coming down with your hand in mine

Oh my, I remember those nights

Meet you at your uni', cheap drinks

Drink 'em all night

Staying out 'til sunrise

Share a single bed and tell each other what we dream about

Things we'd never say to someone else out loud

We were only kids, just tryna work it out

Wonder what they'd think if they could see us now, yeah

'Cause we made it

Underestimated

And always underrated

Now we're saying goodbye

Waving to the hard times

Knew that we would be alright

From the first time

Met you at your doorstep

Remember how we tasted

Looking into your eyes

Baby, you were still high

Never coming down with your hand in mine

Oh, God, what I could've become

Don't know why they put all of this on us when we're so young (I’m gonna kill all y’all who hurt him)

Done a pretty good job dealing with it all

When you're here, don't need to say no more

Nothing in the world that I would change it for

Singing something poppy on the same four chords

Used to worry 'bout it but I don't no more, yeah

'Cause we made it

Underestimated

And always underrated

Now we're saying goodbye

Waving to the hard times

Smoke something, drink something

Yeah, just like the first time

Met you at your doorstep

Remember how we tasted

Looking into your eyes

Baby, and we're still high

Never coming down with your hand in mine

with your hand in mine

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

No, no, no, no

'Cause we made it

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, 'cause we made it

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Never coming down with your hand in mine

Like holy shit y’all this is some beautiful gay shit
