bash: don’t lie to my face ever again.

Well shit's about to go down
Spoilers, kind of?
A Wrinkle in Time -Ava DuVernay saying she wanted the cast to reflect the real world -gorgeous makeup and costumes for Mindy, Oprah and Reese -Meg being told she has to be a warrior in the teaser -we all got free posters and Oprah shouted “You get a poster, you get a poster, you all get a poster!” -CHRIS PINEEEEEE (and Disney openly and willingly congratulating him on Wonder Woman) also he was adorable with Storm
Mary Poppins -Lin is adorable in the trailer and it just feels so magical and it’s gonna be great -also Dick van Dyke and Angela Lansbury are in it
Aladdin -they announced casting and they cast Middle Eastern actors thankfully (correction: the actress who plays Jasmine is actually Indian, sorry for the mistake)
Mulan -it is coming. that is all
The Lion King -they played footage of The Circle of Life and I almost cried
Star Wars -Rian geeking out -DAISY AND JOHN, SO CUTE -KELLY MARIE TRAN, YO -MARK HAMILL walking out and everyone goes wild, and he’s like ‘Who, me? Nah…’ -Mark pointing to his eye, drawing a big heart, and then pointing at the entire crowd -behind the scenes footage -and I miss Carrie so much
Marvel -Kevin Feige and the fact that it’s been almost 10 years of Marvel! -bringing out almost the entire cast of Infinity Wars (except not Evans, but I can deal) -like, they brought out Josh Brolin first and then they brought out a round of Avengers actors, and then they were like we need reinforcements -and they were like how about some Guardians -and then they Josh was like I’m still feeling pretty cocky -and Kevin Feige was like, we have a Hulk (cue Ruffalo) -and then they’re like didn’t you bring a friend from work? (cue Hemsworth) -and Feige was like it would be so cool if Spider-Man swung by (cue Tom) -MACKIE AND CHADWICK AND ELIZABETH AND BENEDICT AND RDJ -BUT SEBBBBBBB (with his amazing beard) -and then and then and then RDJ is like where is the footage? -so they did this gorgeous recap of MCU up till now -and it ends with the exchange between Tony and Cap on a black screen (“How do we cope?” “Together.” “We’ll lose.” “We’ll do that together too.” (chills)) -CUE INFINITY WARS TRAILER -there’s literally so much awesomeness I can’t even begin to share it but seriously chills -The Guardians picking up Thor in outer space -Doctor Strange conjuring his force portal stepping stone things and Star Lord jumping from stone to stone -Nat’s blonde!?!?! -Bucky and T’Challa leading a Wakandan army!?!? -and this is the part where I died -because somebody throws something (maybe a spear? I’m not perfect, I couldn’t see 100%) -and then a figure in the shadow catches it -GUESS WHO GUYS -that’s right -it’s STEEEEVE -and the most important takeaway -CAP. HAS. A. BEARD. -I REPEAT. CAP HAS A BEARD. -NOT A FULL GROWN EVANS BEARD. But enough. -I probably missed stuff -but I was a little overwhelmed
I got to the convention center last night at 10 pm (panel started at 10:30 am). I slept on the concrete floor in line (inside, thankfully). It. Was. All. Worth. It.
MJ: *ranting about how prom is a symbol of our backwards society and that it needs to be abolished for all sorts of reasons*
Pete: Hey MJ, you wanna go to prom with me?
MJ: *stops rant* Wait...seriously? This isn't a prank?
Pete: Uh...I mean, Liz moved away, Cindy's going with Ned, and every other girl I asked has been taken. So...why not?
MJ: Wow...so pretty much, you just confessed that you weren't listening to me for the last five minutes.
Pete: You just have to say no-
MJ: -fine, I'll go with you to the stupid prom. My views on this backwards, insipid event is still the same but you asked nicely.
Pete: ...
*CUT TO THE END OF THE MOVIE, Pete, Ned, and Cindy Moon are picking up MJ at her place*
Ned: How much you wanna bet she didn't dress up? I mean, this is MJ we're talking about.
Pete: I'm surprised she even agreed to go with me...to ...prom...holy shitake mushrooms-
MJ: *walks down the stairs in a fabulous red dress, in honor of the original Mary Jane's red hair. Zendaya's modeling experience is in full-display in this scene*
Peter, Ned, Cindy: *staring in complete disbelief*
MJ: *to Peter* What? You really thought I was going to go to prom in baggy jeans and a band shirt?
Peter: Uh...um...wow, you look...you look...wow. Just wow!
MJ: Wow indeed. Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot.
*Movie ends there*
YESSSSS
so one thing, if spideychelle is actually gonna happen i don’t want them to change her at all. I don’t want a ‘‘glam transformation’‘ to happen, if Peter likes her let it be cause he likes who she actually is >:-(
I’m not obsessed with him or anything. I’m just very observant.
- someone’s eating habits
- appearance issues that can’t be fixed there and then
- someone else’s “bad” decision if it can’t now be undone
- someone’s laugh or voice
- someone’s “unrealistic” dreams
- someone “not looking their best” in photos
- someone not wanting to do something and trying to subtly avoid it without making a fuss
- anything that you know will make someone self conscious or insecure unnecessarily
It’s good we had it, it’s good S3 ended on a sweet note, but it makes it doubly hard to swallow that they’re canceling a show where the hero :
Is disabled, no matter how people don’t get the extend of it
Is obviously mentally unstable, at the very least, mentally ill if we go the length (I would say that but I would also like him to get some help, you know…)
Is openly vulnerable, AND this is not linked to the two previous points. A grown man crying so much on TV is already a thing, a super hero/vigilante doing this is another altogether. And he’s not crying alone in his room, he’s crying in front of friends.
Let’s add:
Great, not immediately likable good/bad female characters. “Karen Page is hard to like, she’s irritating”. Well thanks, this is something I rarely see, I love her. Vanessa is also a very high point, and lately, Maggie has exceeded all my expectations. And finally, Elodie Yung made me like a character I’ve always loathed, so Elektra makes the list, which is surprising for me.
An exceptionally beautiful cinematography
Fricking fights, yo
The Power of Friendship!
All this to say : thank you Daredevil, but you better get renewed, with the same cast, and if possible with Oleson at the head of it.
i’ve been staring at this gif of the rock rolling his eyes for like 5 minutes
it’s such a perfect eyeroll. like it’s not sloppy or anything. his eyes make a perfect half rotation followed by a quick look of ‘whatever’ in one smooth motion.
and the look directed at the camera right after.
so much sarcasm. so much sassiness. 10/10.
this is my aesthetic.
