Please Reblog, I Wanna See What Most People's General Consensus Is. Jukebox Musicals, For Reference,

Saw your answer to the Bucky and Loki bingo and also saw an old post about a couple bingo (this one). So what are your thoughts in Bucky and Loki as romantic partners?

...Nah.

I can only see the two being platonic, tbh. It's like Stephen x Loki, it doesn't make sense to me and feels a bit forced, ngl.

That post that's like "stop writing characters who talk like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy" really blew the door wide open for me about how common it's become for a character's emotional intelligence to not be taken into consideration when writing conflict. I remember the first time I went to therapy I had such a hard time even identifying what I was feeling, let alone had the language to explain it to someone else. Of course there are plenty of people who've never been to therapy a day in their life who are in tune to their emotions. But even they would have some trouble expressing themselves sometimes. You have to take into account there are plenty of people who are uncomfortable expressing themselves and people who think they're not allowed to feel certain ways. It also makes for more interesting conflict to have characters with different levels of understanding.

I assure you, brother, the sun will shine on us again.

Random thoughts - Marvel's Jotuns and Cannibalism

You know... I just realized something while rewatching Earth's mightiest heroes.

The jotuns in that show clearly try to eat people, right?

Do you think- ...do you think Loki ever gets cannibalistic urges because of that?

I mean, Loki is a jotun, right? Or half-jotun in some universes (The universes where he's Thor's half-brother, for instance). So since Jotuns seem to have that same instinct to prey on humans and Asgardians like in the original mythology, it only stands to reason Loki would, too, right?

Obviously, this wouldn't apply to MCU Loki, because it pretty much does everything it can to characterize them as basically just 'taller icy Asgardians with blue skin'. (Or maybe it does apply, who knows, we didn't get that much world building with the nine realms in the MCU universe before phase four ruined everything.)

But for universes like Earth's mightiest, where it's blatant that they eat people?

I mean, I obviously haven't read all of the comics, so maybe something in a comic I haven't read yet disproves that, but from what I'm currently aware of? It's not impossible.

Maybe I'm just jaded from Pokemon disappointing me, but I genuinely don't think Legends Z-A is going to do anything fun with the starters.

In fact, I don't think they'll do any new megas at all. No new megas, no regional forms. I will genuinely even be surprised if they decide to give Chikorita the fairy type, like some people are speculating.

I also feel like reigonal forms won't happen partially because it doesn't make sense. X and Y didn't have regional forms, after all, and Z-A is taking place after X and Y. Not even that far into the future, by the looks of it.

I feel like it'll just be a blander Legends Arceus, personally. If even that.

I hope I'm wrong, but that's where my head is at right now.

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.

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

To be frank, the double standards of the mcu are hilariously ridiculous:

A man who killed people after the loss of his family is evil and deserves to spend the rest of life in solitary confinement

But a man who killed people after the loss of his family was just grieving and made a mistake

The difference? One of them is an avenger

Mind control is an evil thing to do

Wanda can mind control as many people as many times as she wants to, nobody cares

Torture is bad

It's okay if Thor, Mobius or Wanda are the ones doing it

Being mind controlled makes you innocent if your name is Clint Barton

Being stripped of your memories, even if you made a decision to torture and kill people and enjoyed the process, makes you innocent if your name is Mobius

Being tortured and brainwashed and stripped of your memories is just extenuating circumstances if your name is Bucky Barnes (they originally claimed him innocent but then changed their mind in phase 4)

Being tortured, mind controlled and having your memories altered is your own fault and is no excuse, you enjoyed it anyway, if your name is Loki

Slavery is bad

If Valkyrie spends over a thousand years enslaving people and selling them to the Grandmaster with no remorse, well, she is just making money, give her the throne

Kidnapping babies and hurting and using them their entire life is bad (if you're Dreykov)

But Thanos loved Gamora

And Loki is an ungrateful brat for not appreciating Odin

The list goes on, btw
