bad things about The Dark Knight Rises:
- Bane is whitewashed
- Bane's luchador-inspired mask (which is significant since he is Latino) is changed to a crappy looking apparatus that is supposed to act as some kind of anesthetic device?
- in the final confrontation between Batman and Bane, Batman purposely targets and destroys this mask in order to bring Bane down by forcing him to be overwhelmed by his unbearable chronic pain. yikes.
- Bane's main motivation is reduced to wanting to destroy Gotham because Talia wants to because Ras Al Ghul wanted to? and then instead of just destroying it Bane wants to draw it out for some reason? and he does this by creating a pseudo-revolution that the filmmakers seemed to include just so they could show how "bad" revolutions are? idk man.
good things about The Dark Knight Rises:
- i guess the allusions to A Tale of Two Cities were interesting but it also didn't really go anywhere so. yeah.
conclusion: 1/10
YES ABSOLUTELY, it's so annoying that tom hardy's bane is the most popular because i love luchador bane so goddamm much
I think the biggest mistake that most adaptations make with Bane is shying away from the fact that he is a FUCKING LUCHADOR as opposed to leaning into it super fucking hard cause a hyper intelligent impossibly buff luchador is quite possibly the greatest thing ever.

TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (2022)

dont lie yall are all fucking guilty of this
aw he's shy
shhhh….it’s bubba sawyer
Go to my pinned to see how to fight this
No one is fucking talking about it but another black man was killed by the same police department that killed George Floyd they killed him 9 minutes after entering his apartment. No knock warrants are fucking bullshit. He was wrapped in his blanket he was innocent they had the wrong address there is body can cottage you cannot fucking deny this bullshit.
This is being hushed up and covered up and I cannot believe it took me until TODAY, SIX DAYS AFTER IT HAPPENED to find out about it.
Everyone should be talking about this shit.
All the BLM protests and here we are again. We cannot let a single one of these slide because that's how nothing changes and that's how innocent people are being killed at the hands of assholes who are happy to pull the trigger without hesitation. I'm so fucking upset right now and so should you be.
the girls :0

hey hi i'm xio!! i'm black, 17 and nonbinary and also currently a senior in high school and i just got accepted into community college for my first two years and could really use the help saving for a new laptop (among other supplies) since the one i have now was provided by my school and i have to give it back before graduation.

p*ypal l*nk + venmo: soulaans
hey, generally speaking i am pro-pirating but there is post going around with a free version of Maus by Art Spiegelman on a google doc and i am genuinely asking you all to not reblog it. Art Spiegelman is still alive. he still makes money off of Maus. and what is being monetized is his generational trauma as the son of a holocaust survivor. please either buy Maus or get it from the library (libraries also benefit the author and when more people request or check out a book it communicates to the library that they need more copies). pirating Maus is very different than pirating a marvel movie or reading a google doc of a book no longer in print. please use critical thinking.
The US National Black Doll Museum closed their doors due to Covid-19, and they lost their physical location.
During the month of February 2022, which is Black History Month in the US, they are trying to raise $100,000 for a new physical location in Attleboro, MA (USA). Please consider donating. You do not need to choose any of the default amounts. Click "Just helping" at top right (after clicking the support button) and type in the amount you would like to give. If 8,500 people gave $10 USD each, they would meet their fundraising goal. Donations are tax-deductible charitable donations in the US.
Also - please consider reblogging/boosting.
here is another list i've curated for black people who have yet to meet their donation and gfm goals!! if you have the means please consider aiding black people, especially this month! nonblacks are heavily encouraged to reblog and other black people in need please feel free to drop your links (c*shapp, v*nmo, and p*ypals, etc.) !!

every time i sit down 2 watch a horror movie i think of that one tweet :/
I haven't seen anyone posting about this and I think it's important to spread.
George Floyd's 4-year-old niece, Arianna Delane, was shot in her sleep after bullets were fired into her father's apartment.
IT TOOK 4 HOURS. 4. HOURS. for the Houston police department to arrive.
Arianna has a punctured lung, a punctured liver, and 3 broken ribs and she's now recovering.
Here's an article about this situation, if you want to read more.
There's no excuse for the police to take so long to arrive...
The romanization of Hawai’i only tightens America’s grip on my people.
We are not the land of Lilo and Stitch. We are not a paradise.
We are a nation suffering.
There are only around 600,000 Native Hawaiians left. Only around 200,000 of them live in Hawai’i.
Hawai’i has the second largest homeless population in the nation, falling just behind New York. There are 19 million people in New York. Hawaii only has 1.4 million people. Yet their homeless rates are neck and neck. A majority of those experiencing homelessness in Hawai’i are Native Hawaiian.
Tourism destroys sacred land. Mountains are moved to make room for telescopes. People live in tiny concrete apartments that cost $2k a month because the rich move to the islands to carve their own paradise. My people spend every night praying we can afford to eat the next day
The Navy poisons the water over and over. They lie and say it’s safe. People fall ill. Then they dump the waste into the ocean and promise to do better. They lie.
End the romanization of Hawai’i. There is no paradise under American occupation.
The fact that I reported a puppet account for saying Black people deserved slavery and was given a bullshit "that's their opinion" response yet staff has deleted 3 of my Black mutuals on the same fucking day tells my that @staff is racist and that Black Excellence banner is only for fucking show. Y'all will let Black bloggers be harassed, but God forbid one of them says fucking white women. With fucking full blown pesos and white supremacists on your fucking site too. Hope your building blows up
