You Know How Canaries Were Historically Brought Into Coal Mines, Because If The Mine Was Full Of Carbon

You know how canaries were historically brought into coal mines, because if the mine was full of carbon monoxide the canary would die first and the miners would be able to escape before they died too?

I just found the greatest thing.

You Know How Canaries Were Historically Brought Into Coal Mines, Because If The Mine Was Full Of Carbon

This is a canary resuscitator.

When the miners notice the canary getting sick with carbon monoxide poisoning, they can close that circular hatch so no more gas gets into the canary cage, and open the valve on that oxygen tank to keep the canary breathing. In other words, they made a spacesuit for birds.

By immediately giving the canary access to clean air, the miners can save it from the poison. The bird lives. To be clear, this is not for economic purposes, this was specifically created because the miners felt bad and wanted to save the bird.

Isn’t that just the perfect demonstration of what humans are like? We started sacrificing small creatures to save ourselves, and then felt bad and spent our valuable resources on saving the critters too. Because yeah the canary was the only way to test for CO, but it’s a living creature too, dammit!

And then in his drunken state, Hawkmoth realizes how pathetic he is and that he’s probably not gonna get the Miraculouses anytime soon, given how many times he’s lost against Paris’ favorite superhero duo. He gets in the “fiNe, i’LL dO iT mySeLF” mood and starts to heave himself out the window, still transformed, with newfound drunk confidence thinking that he can take the both of them on.

Poor Nathalie is pulling the dumb birdman by his cape, completely done with his bullcrap but still concerned for him.

Nathalie, sweating and cursing: “M-mister Agreste! Please! Get ahold of yourself!!”

Hawkmoth: *screams as he is pulled backwards and starts to crawl to the open window that’s like six floors up*“NO NATHALIE!! I MUST!! I’LL MAKE THEM SEE- I’LL MAKE THEM ALL SEE!!! I AM NOT A FORCE TO BE TRIFLED WITH!!! WOMAN, L E T M E G O-”

AU where Gabriel is a mostly decent father, but he frequently drinks when he’s not working and whenever he gets blackout drunk he turns into Hawkmoth. Nooroo tries to be Drunkmoth’s voice of reason

Drunk Hawkmoth just gives me the vibe of like

"LOOK-LOOK THAT DOG IS SAD GO MY AKUMA AND LET HIM GET REVENGE AGAINST THOSE THAT WRONGED HIM"

"sir that's a statue-"

In Pilgrim Bell, Kaveh Akbar reaches across languages to write "documents of barbarism."

This is also true with filmmakers. Western filmmakers pan their cameras mostly left to right and Iranian filmmakers do right to left.

You know, I love the Marvel movies, but they're doing something wrong that the comics did right. The movies are erasing important, distinctive parts of the characters.

Hawkeye is disabled/deaf in the comics, but not in the movies

Loki is genderfluid, yet we've only seen him as male in the movies

You Know, I Love The Marvel Movies, But They're Doing Something Wrong That The Comics Did Right. The

Wanda is Jewish and Romani in the comics, but she's played by a white person (don't get me wrong though I love Elizabeth Olsen and think she's doing a great job) and in Captain America: Civil War, Wanda had crosses on her wall in her room, which are clear Christian symbols

You Know, I Love The Marvel Movies, But They're Doing Something Wrong That The Comics Did Right. The

Joe Russo played the MCU's "first openly gay character" in Avengers: Endgame and the representation was so small that it was kind of insulting. Now, having said that, this means Marvel's taking a step in the right direction, but given their track record, I'm afraid they're going to straightwash Billy and Tommy Maximoff (if they grow older than children) like they did with Ayo (Black Panther), Mystique (X-men), and Valkyrie (Thor: Ragnarok). Plus, Billy, at least, isn't just a minor gay character. He and his husband are like THE LGBT icons of the Marvel Universe. They have a whole comic line just dedicated to their wedding.

(Plus, back to the Wanda being Jewish thing, you can clearly see Billy wearing a kippah at his wedding in the second picture, which is a Jewish cap. They did, in fact, have a Jewish wedding in the comics. She raised (or rather didn't????) her kids to be Jewish like her.)

I'm sure there are probably several other characters that have characteristics that are being overlooked that I haven't listed here, but these are just the few that I could think of. All I'm saying is I want more than just Tony's PTSD represented. Because that was also a real problem and I'm not ignoring that Marvel did do a good job of showing that. But I want more than that.
