Do you guys ever stop to think how much more impactful WandaVision would have been if they had done Wanda's backstory accurate?

Like imagine a little jewish-romani Wanda growing up watching the "american dream" sitcoms, a little Wanda who not only watched her parents die but was also stuck in the house waiting to see if the other bomb would take her and her brother as well.

A Wanda who spent the next 7-10 years being ignored by everyone else, who spent rhe days daydreaming about going to US thinking their life woul be better there.

Then WandaVision (and maybe all of the Maximoff's part on the MCU) could have been a great commentary of how America treat the visible non white immigrants, how the american dream only actually worked to very few of the people. It could have shown the importance of family in Wanda's culture and if they go if the Magneto children route having this series showing how importante family it's to wanda would make the scene of she finding out she's not alone so much more special

You're telling me that you watched a movie with a 15 years old afro latino in the main role, who has a good and loving relationship with both of his parents and is trying to find himself in the middle of what he wants and what his parents want for him who saw the uncle he was super close with die cause he was spider man

And then hes told that he is a mistake he wasnt supposed to be spider man but because he was he'll have to watch his dad die too

And because a 15 yo boy refuses to sit and watch the most important man in his life his DAD die you decide that the hole movie is copaganda. Really???

I am reading this fascinating paper 'Education and Aristocratic Childhood in Late Imperial Russia' by Zbyněk Vydra, and came across this paragraph that I think sums up what makes the former Russian Empire so interesting:

It is also impossible to deal with the nobility as a whole. The simple reason being that the hereditary nobility in Russia was very heterogeneous and numerous. At the end of the 19th century, there were about 1.2 million people, i.e. around 200,000 families. Within one estate (soslovie) it stretched from close proximity to the imperial throne, the world of the St. Petersburg and Moscow palaces, through the bureaucratic nobility in sleepy provincial towns, to impoverished nobles eking out a living at the level of wealthier peasants in the remote countryside. We are mainly interested in the part of the nobility situated at the highest level ‒ the aristocracy.

It is impossible to reference the nobility in this setting as a shorthand for one form of life. When using it as inspiration in a fantasy setting, like Bardugo does, there is an opportunity for a rich variety of people who set themselves apart from the peasantry. It brings in questions of origin and history, rather than wealth and power, and it can hint at changing fortunes and societal landslides.

Because the avengers movies didnt really try to make them a family they only told us that while the GOTG movies really give the team time to become a family

The moment I knew guardians of the galaxy vol. 3 would be good was in the first 5 minutes, when Peter fell from being drunk and they actually cared about him and put him in bed. As soon as he fell, I was SO ready for them to play it off as a laugh. I was so sure of it, because every other marvel movie would have done that. That’s *exactly* what they did with Thor in Endgame.

But no. Rocket looked at him in sympathy and all the guardians asked how he was doing and Nebula tucked him into bed (which I ALSO thought they would make a joke of! But they didn’t!) and they treated him with love. I have a lot of feelings about this movie and why it wasn’t trash like a lot of other recent marvel movies, but I think the main reason was that they actually made the characters care about each other right from the get-go.

I was so confused when Mal just came back one ep later 100% fine

instead of kazs/crows backstories being super rushed and getting way too much focus i would have rather seen:

fedyor and ivan

alina shu heritage

actual politics

stormhond

more darkling

white haired alina

worldbuilding

what happened to mal when he was taken to court-martial?

religious tolya and tamar

slower pacing (in general)

better understanding of what happens when...

feel free to add

Enid had a lot of queercoded aspects in her storyline this season (like the convertion camp on the parents visit day) but i'm not loving the way tiktok is acting like just cause she got a Boyfriend that means it was queerbaiting

I mean they are acting like the only option of queerness in woman is lesbian

And kinda looks like they are saying that bi and pan are not valid/queer enough to be represantation on the show

What is up with mcu and Jewish erasure
