my favorite thing about video game culture is that nintendo is an absolutely unbeatable titan in the industry just because they make their games Fun
SOMEONE help me find that galaxy brain meme with star trek vs. star wars where it goes from "star wars is better" to "star trek is better" to "both have valuable things to offer and cannot be compared" and the ends with "actually star trek is better" because that is THE mood right now
i just cant get over the lobster scene. like his friends are actively begging him, do not get into the lobster tank. please eddie. tom hardy you were in mad max fury road dont do this. and tom hardy looks at his friend like “i know i shouldnt do this. i shouldnt be getting into this lobster tank but i’m going to anyway. i’m already mostly inside. cant stop now. i’m sorry i dont want to be doing this either there’s just no other choice for me.” and then he takes a bg bite out of a live lobster that’s still in the shell and everything.
tom hardy doesn’t actually know he’s being possessed by an alien yet in the story. he’s just resigned himself to whatever fucking meltdown he seems to be having. he doesn’t even seem particularly surprised that things have gone this way for him. like ten minutes later he finds out his heart stopped working and hes just like “you asshole” and he throws his alien parasite against the wall like a water balloon. and then he just leaves and is immediately kidnapped. what a fucking wild ride tom hardy is on.
tom hardy’s actual superpower is being the exact same level of dysfunctional no matter what is happening in his life. so when everything’s going ok for him he self-destructs spectacularly, but when literally everything that can happen to a human being happens to him, he does, like, unrealistically well. climbing into a lobster tank and eating a live animal with large claws just like… “well, this is what’s happening to me today. i’m so sorry you have to watch this, man. anyway here goes, i’m going to bite into a living creature with my human mouth and then LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS”
this movie’s fucking killing me from the inside.
Thor is so beautiful and wonderful in Infinity war. We have this big, tough, muscled characters that the film makers could have easily taken down the route of hyper masculinity. But instead we get a sweet, sensitive, kind hearted, funny character that is a wonderful balm against toxic masculinity. We get a Thor who is grieving for his people, for his brother, for his world. Who talks about his grief and who sheds tears. We get a Thor, who when introduced to Gamora and told that her father is the one who killed Loki, doesn’t lash out in pain or anger at her, but is completely understanding and sympathetic that families can be tough. We get a Thor that despite everything he’s been through still wants to go on, still wants to help people. Who’s lighthearted humour is at times sweet and innocent. We get the Thor we deserve in this movie. A Thor that carries on from the wonderful character we got in Ragnarok. And I love him so much.
