Kevin Fiege: Loki Is An Ally Of Thanos.

I'd like to make a small addition to the Humans are Space Orcs trope (yes I'm super late I know)

So

You know the joke about aliens being weirded out that we pack bond with basically anything?

What if we introduced aliens to fandom culture

and here's your annual reminder that jack-o'-lanterns were a tradition irish immigrants brought to the u.s., where (widely available) pumpkins fell into use over turnips & other root vegetables

(personally i regret this switch, as it means many of us missed the opportunity to grow up seasonally surrounded by friendly faces like these:

How to Tell

by ttanner2448

“HI. Uh, I’m your new God, humans of Earth. The other guy was fired for sucking at his job. There’s going to be a meeting in an hour to discuss my plans going forward. Attendance is mandatory. Also, don’t be afraid; my resume is available upon request.”

I like the idea that humans are space orcs because of being walking trashbins which are a flaming wreckage of bodge jobs all the way down. Ships are floating clouds of debris under constant repair or... improvement. Space suits are held together with duct tape. We are literally covered in swarms of bacteria which are 50/50 on purpose or debilitating illness, not to mention filled up in side with the same.

Humans get sick or hurt and most aliens are just like "not sure if this is an infection, or if you'll die without it." The last time anyone tried to repair a human operated ship, the resulting explosion blasted a nearby moon through a wormhole into orbit around a different planet.

Even human genetics is a total trashpile, junk genes, weird extra DNA that no one knows what it does, former viruses, you name it, somewhere down the line humans just vacuumed up everything into the go-juice and stacked it up like a genetic hoarder. The study of human biology is half occult science half transmutation until one guy starts breaking it down and discovers chunks of hundreds of other alien genetics and basically it turns out Earth was a kind of "makeout point" back in the days of primordial ooze and was filled so full of outer space ejaculate that under a modern day equivalent of black light it still glows brighter than the sun.

Jim and Naomi had to be tricked into family dinner. Amos not so much.
