The reason I stay up late is because I don’t want my free time to end and tomorrow to start
I feel so called out and yet so understood.
The thing that really hits me about the Marvel universe (in general, both cinematic and comic) is that there’s just so much weird shit happening all the time.
That one scene at the beginning of Black Panther where T’Challa’s just chilling on a branch and the traffickers shine a light on him? If you were a normal human in the Marvel world, the possibilities for that are endless. Is he a superhero? Is he a supervillain? Is that even a suit, like did his mutant power turn him into a black panther? Or is he a just nut job in fancy dress?
That scene where Eddie Brock first sees Venom in the movie, where Venom manifests itself outside of Eddie’s body? He’s so fucking tired. He’s been hearing this weird, low voice t
hat he’s worryingly attracted toand it’s actually an alien symbiote that’s improving his quality of life and helping him take down diet-Elon Musk. You know what? Fine. The girlfriend left him, he lost his job, so he might as well get an alien free-loader to avoid hitting rock bottom and steer his life to full-on weird.That scene in S1 of Daredevil where Matt tried to get this junior cop to co-operate with him and the cop just fucking throws it back in his face, and then Vladimir won’t even take the best chance he has at revenge for his brother? Honestly can you blame them. Who is this masked dude??? Is he a vigilante? Is he working for Fisk? Or a guy testing out his costume on New York?
That part in infinity War where Stark just says, ‘yea a bad guy’s trying to steal a necklace from a wizard’? That’s… that’s the most succinct description of what was happening. And it wasn’t even the weirdest part, because there was a doughnut shaped spaceship above New York.
Anyway thanks for coming to my TEDtalk. Who the hell knows what’s going on in the Marvel universe. Even if you did have superpowers, it’s just a roll of the goddamn dice who you meet out there. Gwenpool’s the only character that makes any sense.
There’s not a single situation which cannot be improved by the presence of dragons

You all, fools: *getting tattoos based on the ancient tattoos they find on bog mummies and the other ancient dead that for all you know will bind you to a forgotten god that now by all rights has a claim on your life for better or for worse*
Me, and intellectual: *doesnt fucking do that*
A forgotten god cannot run my life any worse than I am currently running it myself.
Bog mummy take the wheel
Thinking about that fallout 76 ad where like 9 people stand around and watch a ground burst nuke go off like it’s a pretty firework is like. Genuinely upsetting. Not only can I not think of any worse way to reflect the themes of the series, with the opening of Fallout specifying that WWIII only lasted an hour and with it destroyed almost all life on the planet at the hands of nuclear weapons, but it’s also just an irreverent and frankly dangerous way to discuss the most horrible weapons mankind has ever made. It would be different if it were actually some kind of satire, some kind of distinct point being made, but it’s literally just LOOK NUKES COOL and it’s more a re-invigoration of the cold war’s nuclear obsession than it is an indictment of it.
New Vegas: Ends with player traveling The Divide to meet a man that will damn the player for their actions, and uses the old world’s sins: it’s nuclear firepower. The player is then given option to nuke a location, with the implication being that to do so is morally unjust and disgusting. The moral high ground, however, requires great sacrifice, and gives weight to the player’s choice for proper good: to disable the nukes entirely. The words Ulysses leaves parallel’s the serie’s iconic phrase “War never changes” by saying people must change, because to repeat the sins of the past is to doom us to eternal nuclear disaster.
Fallout 76: Players set off three nuclear explosions to fight irradiated skyrim dragons. coUNTRY ROOOOOOOADS TAKE ME HOOOOOOOOOME
