In Light Of It Suddenly Becoming Dracula Season, I Had To Make A Quiz! Which Dracula Character Are You?

Incorrect quotes #5

Riddler, talking to some random girl: And here's my number. Ha-ha!

Scarecrow: Do you just... walk around with your phone number pre-written on pieces of paper???

Riddler, smirking: Yep.

Scarecrow, rolling his eyes: Of course you do-

I JUST SAW AN AD FOR ‘MORBIUS’ AND I’M SHOOK.

IT’S COMING OUT ON MY BIRTHDAY, YA’LL. I HAVE HIGH HOPES FOR THIS SHIT.

Disney, don’t you dare let me down-

   No doubt, one of my favorite things about ‘The Boy (2016)’ was how much of it was left up to your imagination and interpretation. (Death of the author, ofc. Only keeping the movie itself in mind.)

Major Spoilers for ‘The Boy (2016)’ below

   We got almost no concrete proof for anything the movie tells us about Brahms’ backstory, and what we do know can lead to multiple conclusions about the character.

   The whole ‘he killed Emily’ thing, for instance.    This is something we’re told by Malcom, who prefaces what he says by directly mentioning that this is town gossip. Which is untrue or, at best, only half-true. (Take it from someone who’s lived in a small town and had gossip and rumors spread about me and my loved ones, they’re usually spread with very little of the original context and, usually, turns into ‘I think this happened’ instead of facts, or ends up being a giant game of telephone... or both.)     We get a picture of a girl, showing that there was, in fact, an ‘Emily’ that Brahms knew, but other than that, we get nothing.

   For all we know, Emily could’ve fell and hit her head on a rock, and people started blaming Brahms for it. There’s no concrete evidence proving it either way, and I love it.

   We don’t even know that much about Brahms, really. He’s a craftsman (As seen in the ending scene.), he makes traps (The rat traps everywhere with his initials.), he can make a sandwich, he enjoys having a set schedule, and he can’t live by himself (At least, as far as we know.). ...That’s really all we know besides him being forced into the walls by his parents and being twenty-eight in the film. We also hear that he was apparently ‘Odd’, which, considering his clearly snooty-ish upbringing, could mean a lot of things.

   Why is he acting like a kid? It could be a manipulation tactic, it could be a sign of mental illness, or it could be a coping mechanism. Again, it's up to your interpretation.

   Personally, I see all this and think:     "He’s a traumatized man who’s possibly autistic (Schedule, traps may be a special interest, can’t properly live by himself, etc.), falsely rumored to have murdered his one friend, burned in a fire set by his (possibly ableist) parents, and was gaslit and manipulated into thinking Emily’s death really was his fault."

  But that’s just how I see it, of course.    I imagine there could be many ways someone could interpret the film. (For instance, my sister watched it and came out the other side with: ‘he’s guilty, creepy, and severely in need of psychological help’.) and that’s great, I love it! 

   I wish more ‘horror-ish’ movies did this. Most present horror is jump scares and gore with little to no substance, and while I enjoy a bit of gore here and there, it can be pretty tiring. (Aka: Why I loved ‘The Collector’ but disliked its sequel ‘The Collection’, lol.)

   Idk, I just felt like posting something about the movie, haha.

MCU Hogwarts houses

Edit: Making this clear, I do not support JK Rowling or Harry Potter anymore.

Loki- Slytherin. Was there any contest? I don’t think so. His aesthetic, their personality, his vibe even, it all screams Slytherin. Thor- Gryffindor. Courage, Daringness, nerve, and Chivalry. All of those things are the main components of Thor’s personality. It also works for the sibling rivalry situation between him and his brother. Captain America- Gryffindor. I’ve seen a few people argue Hufflepuff and I honestly don’t get it. Steve is the embodiment of truth, justice, and the american dream. So much so that he’s willing to throw out his loyalty to the american government to uphold his moral compass. Thus, Gryffindor is the only choice for him in my book. Iron Man- I feel confident in saying he’d be a Ravenclaw. His first instinct when it comes to running into a problem is using the tech he manufactured to his advantage, and using his intelligence to come up with plans that people often don’t expect. (Iron man 3′s ending fight scene anyone?) He literally builds his identity on his intelligence and what it grants him. Bruce Banner- In my opinion, I feel like he’d also be a Ravenclaw. Shock to no-one, Mr ‘I have seven PHDs how many does Hulk have’ is a Ravenclaw. (Hulk doesn’t get his own hogwarts house.) Pietro Maximoff- Gryffindor. Pietro can’t be a Hufflepuff because like most speedsters, he has very little to no patience. He’s also the type to literally die trying to save someone, even soeone he had an unspoken rivalry with, which is far more of a Gryffindor trait than a Hufflepuff one to me.  Wanda Maximoff- A fellow Slytherin after my own heart. Resourceful, Cunning, and Ambitious, there’s no way that she could be anything else. She even fits the vibe of a Slytherin. Mysterious, somewhat intimidating, but isn’t outright evil.  Vision- He’s a Ravenclaw, no contest. This man is literally a super-computer, he has knowledge for days. Falcon- Hufflepuff. There is no other option. This man is a Hufflepuff, period. Bucky- Gryffindor. Figures Steve’s best friend would share the same house. Courage, nerve, chivalry, it’s all the same as it was for Steve. Spiderman- Hufflepuff. I mean, no wonder he’s one of my favorites- Peter clearly has the valuing hard-work aspect of Hufflepuffs down. He greatly admires the work everyone round him puts in, and even more greatly values people’s dedication. In terms of courage and chivalry, he’s not as well-rounded in those areas imo, and while he’s intelligent and clever, it’s definitely not his defining attributes. And...he’s not a Slytherin. I don’t think I even need to explain why. Starlord- Slytherin. Hear me out on this one. P quill’s situation is a bit hard to pin down, but I think of all the houses, Slytherin fits him the best. Maybe not in general aesthetics, but in the core personality traits. Griffyndor doesn’t fit mainly because of Peter’s lack of chivalry. Sure, he saved the galaxy, but in terms of genuine care for the people around him, it usually only applies to people he has a genuine bond with. Hufflepuff, he fits the aesthetic of one, the ‘fun-loving himbo’, but besides that, he doesn’t really have much in common with them. However, he’s street-smart, resourceful, and very ambitious. Attempting to make a name for himself and be the leader of any group he finds himself working with. (I mean, he tries to one-up Thor constantly, after all.) T’challa- Hufflepuff. The aesthetics betray the core principals that make up each house I notice. As, T’challa isn’t the partying himbo type, but he’s very loyal to Wakanda and his people/ancestry/culture. He does put value in hard work and dedication, and he’s nothing if not a patient man. I mean his core fighting plan is waiting for just the right moment to strike, like a real panther, so- Ant-man- Griffyndor. Chivalry is his thing. He literally went to prison because he hacked and ‘stole’ back money for people who were conned out of it. Courage? Well, he’s certainly not a coward. This guy is just one of those characters that fits very well into one specific house without much need for explanation. Dr Strange- Ravenclaw. Again: Fits very well into one specific house without much need for explanation. Hela- Slytherin. Like, as if there wasn’t already enough reasons to point out the ‘pick which of these three is adopted’ meme-

I think I'm already tired of the 'all of one character groups into a collective of multiverse heroes' trope. Or whatever you want to call it.

I just tried to watch 'My adventures with Superman' and I was mentally checked out the entire seventh episode as soon as we found out about the 'league of Lois'.

Honestly, that trope is so dumb. I'm not the only one who thinks that, right?

“Malgendering when trans men use it is just them trying to claim they move through the world like cis women and are therefore incapable of harm” what are you TALKING ABOUT

I think it's kind of sad that I can't bring myself to care about new stuff in the MCU anymore.

It's not about superhero-fatigue or whatever other things people are suggesting may be the cause, though. I feel like the reason I and many other people are starting to overlook new stuff and not care is because the people making those movies and stuff basically just... stopped caring about it themselves.

They stopped really putting effort into it, and it shows. There are a couple of outliers, like Moon Knight, but for every Moon Knight that comes out, there are three Loki series, or Mobius movies. Y'know?

It's become less and less rewarding and less and less fun to watch. Just cash-grabs, rather than actual stories with substance.

And I feel like this is easy to notice when you think about how Invincible and The Boys is super popular despite the idea of 'Superhero fatigue'. The difference between DC/Marvel and The Boys/Invincible? (Besides the violence, obviously.) is that 'The Boys' and 'Invincible' actually have time, effort, and love put into them. While the DCEU and the MCU are both basically being milked to death by the same people who tried to copyright 'Día de los Muertos' after they made the movie Coco.

...But hey, at least we still have the MCU before Ragnarok (+Black Panther) to enjoy, right? We also have all the animated DC and Marvel content, as well as all the comics.

Your daily reminder that I will never accept TR, IW and Loki show as canon not only because of retcon of the original storyline, but also because all of them completely ignored THIS:

Also: cryokinesis and levitating were unfortunately never shown on-screen, and the most of his powers were shown for a few seconds and usually is just made fun of in TR and LS.

(And he is literally a genius. Not only in magic but in ANY KIND OF TECHNOLOGY. And they just forgot about it)

Happy Pokemon day!
