There Are A Lot Of Little Lines In TFA That Sort Of Tip You Off That Something Isnt Quite Right With

Terry Crews came out and admitted he had been sexually assulted by someone in the film industry, and is now being blacklisted. I have been a fan of his since Idiocracy, and will continue to support all of his work.

So when you wonder why people don’t come forward with their assults, this is why.

Megatron: He may have been your father, but he’s not your daddy.

Will bumblebee or hot rod see there parents on the decepticons side 🤔 🙃

Highly unlikely as none of them were remotely interested in the Decepticon agenda!

Bee’s father, egregiously, is something of a Functionist, so if it’s one thing Bee and Megs can agree on, it’s punting him into a flaming dumpster.

Do you like anything that's objectively bad? Like, a guilty pleasure kind of thing?

I tend not to have guilty pleasures because I’m able to accept that I enjoy things that are badly crafted.

I’ve already said that Pacific Rim is largely nonsense but I love it anyway.

I adore Legend of Korra and Avatar the Last Airbender despite them having major flaws.

I enjoyed Horizon: Zero Dawn, despite me trashing the game’s story and characterization of Aloy.

Some good points

I was just reminded of the fact the writers actually made Bucky and Sam BREAK John Walker´s arm over that stupid shield (Stupid as in the comical importance it is given in the show when it could have simply belonged to Sam from the beginning without the bullshit drama, there, I said it) minutes after Lemar died and John is clearly in a vulnerable state of mind. 

Ehem… wtf? I love Sam and Bucky but I hate this moment so much I am just going to imagine it is as canon as Steve going back in time and abandoning his friends and Sharon to be with a married woman (Meaning, I am in denial, these are not my Sam and Bucky).

Of course most fans don´t care (More like, they actively celebrate it) because John just killed a man (Which doesn´t stop those same fans from feeling bad about characters with as much blood on their hands, but that is another issue), but these are supposed to be the heroes of the story, the moral compasses to contrast John´s impulsiveness, which I admit is a huge character flaw, to show how much “better” they are than him. And yet they can´t even wait until John is in a more balanced mental state to go for the shield?

Don´t kid yourselves, this may be a cool “yaasss finally!” moment for most of the biased audience, but in my eyes, it just portrays Sam and Bucky as not caring about either Lemar nor the flag smasher that was just killed in place of Karli. They just jumped at the first opportinity they had to grab the shield when it was probably going to be taken from John later by the government anyway, as if it was all they cared about. 

They acted like petty schoolchildren fighting over a toy and were willing to physically harm someone who had fought with them and even saved their asses one time when it was not their friend who had just died in front of their eyes. They showed no compassion whatsoever, and I hated that decision from the writers on Sam and Bucky´s behalf.

You want to talk about how John didn´t deserve the shield? You want to talk about how Steve decided not to kill Tony in the end of Civil War? Fine, John is too impulsive and emotional for the shield, and I agree that flag smasher should have been arrested, but how about the fact in this scene neither Sam nor Bucky acted as compassionately as Steve did when Wanda blew up a building accidentally, for example? Different circumstances and levels of culpability, I agree (Like, it is hard to find a 100% similar scenareo, Wanda´s situation was a complete accident, but one she caused and killed lots of innocents), but Steve did what was best for both the victims by calling for emergency services, and for the person responsible. He continued caring for Wanda and worrying for her.

And no, it wasn´t done for “safety” reasons, what use could it have been to take the shield away from Walker when he had already taken the serum and was a “weapon” himself? (As far as I can remember, he had already taken it, correct me if I am wrong, but if I am wrong then this is much worse for the writers, as it would then make no sense that it took so much effort for Bucky and Sam to break his arm) It is clear the anger was directed at the flagsmashers, not random civilians, and the fight had already finished, there were no flag smashers around. 

Sam and Bucky broke John walker´s arm to get the shield because they wanted it, as simple as that, they cared more about an inanimate object (As much symbolism as it has, that is all it is) than any of what had just happened,  more than the deaths, more than John having just done something  terrible, more than his pain over losing his friend that very same hour, more than anything else. Of course I blame the writers and am outraged on Bucky but especially Sam´s behalf (Didn´t he counsil traumatized soldiers, what gives?), but following my own logic, in universe, that is what happened, and I just can´t see how is is that they are much more worthy of the shield than John himself.

Antis on tumblr are so cringey with their hatred of characters mixed with performative activism, it is all like:

"Lol you like this BLAND!! Pallle ass wHiiite character" and then they simply stan a different white character themselves.

Or the typical:

"I headcanon everyone in this show as lgbtq except this one character I hate, they are straight because I personally headcanon them as such and it totally gives me a suuper valid motive to hate them for some woke reason" or worse, they headcanon the characters they dislike as homophobic or racist with no canon evidence.

If they lack imagination, antis will just give the character they hate a different nickname based on a distortion of their real name, you know, like children in kindergarden.

I am not even against essays explaining why people hate (Or love) certain characters, I am all for the drama as long as there are actual arguments based on canon and not petty insults.

Can you share that interns tweet?

1. Sam Maggs claims credit for naming Rivet

2. Intern at the time (now programmer) calls her on her bullshit and brings up how much of a toxic element she was (in a polite tone).

3. Maggs has to backpedal about being the one who named Rivet and pivots to "I'm angry because it was a team effort" when, in reality, she was clout chasing.

4. What Maggs hasn't done is address is she's been lying and trying to steal credit from the person who actually came up with the name for at least a 5 months.

November 2021. She was called out on March 2022. She's a shitheel who is purely out for herself. And remember, she left the project (possibly fired because she's toxic) 1.5 years before the game was finished, with other writers taking over for her.

Which means that anything she said about Rivet as a character is null and void. Her claims about both named Rivet and that Rivet is actually gay are both attempts at grabbing attention.

Why, you ask? Because the game she just finished working on, Tiny Tina's Wonderland, was just released and nobody is talking about it. She's desperately trying to farm clout and look progressive to get invited to some other project because that's how she operates.

She jumps from project to project, acts like a toxic bitch, leaves halfway through and then tries to act like she was a bigger influence on the game than she actually was. She's a leech.

Nobody should hire her, period.

Edit: She was stealing credit for at least 5 months, not 16. I have no idea why I put 16 down.

my submission for the @jojofanzine !!!!

im very glad the editors of the zine were ok with me doing a 2 page comic about the passione gang being illiterate because i was deeply invested in that idea.

Imagine if John gave Lemar the serum
