Tony Stark Comes To Coerce Peter Into Coming To The Germany Fight. Peter Does Not Want To Go To Germany.

Tony Stark comes to coerce Peter into coming to the Germany fight. Peter does not want to go to Germany. Lucky Matt shows up to let Tony know Peter’s not going anywhere with him. 

This is the sequel to We Got That Concrete Thick Skin tho it could be read as a stand alone. 

Manipulation of Ableism in Marvel’s Daredevil

Ok so imo Daredevil as a show’s best moments are when Matt is manipulating other peoples ableist attitudes/assumptions about him to get shit done. I think one of my favorite examples of this is when *Spoilers for season 2* he and Electra are at the gala to get information on the Hand. Matt purposefully spills wine on the accountant(?) dude to get him in the bathroom and away from everyone else. He knows that he won’t get in trouble for it because he’s just a blameless blind dude right /s. Later in that same episode when he and Elektra need to make an escape and they are able to do that because no one sees him as a threat because of his disability. He can’t possibly be the one to trip the alarm /s. I love all of this because that operation was only successful because of that. An abled person would have had a much harder time with it. 

Another things I love about scene when they are escaping is that when the guard rips off Matt’s glasses and shines a light in his eyes (which is hella rude) the look on Matt’s face is amazing. You can just tell he’s thinking well I know we need to do this to go free but but now I am going to be reduced to my disability. This man is going to judge me solely off of that and noting else and I hate that. And honestly? Mood. There have been times when someone finds out I’m autistic and immediately start to talk to me as if I’m 5 years old instead of almost 20. I had an english teacher in high school insinuate that I shouldn’t be in her advanced class because I’m dyslexic. It’s so frustrating! I think Charlie Cox shows that really really well in that scene. 

There are a bunch of other examples of this especially in season 3 and its just so great. Its a mechanism for survival in a world not built for disabled people but at the same time you can see how much peoples attitudes and assumptions effect Matt. You can see just how angry and annoyed he is and its such a quintessentially disabled experience. IDK I just have a lot of feelings about it.

Infantilization of Matt Murdock in Fanfiction

Ok so this is something that I’ve seen in a lot of fan fiction and it always rubs me the wrong way. I’ve read many fics where another character (Frank, Clint, Bucky, Steve, Foggy, Sam etc) call Matt “Kid” or “Boy” or talk to him like he’s a child using nicknames like “honey’ or “sweetheart” and it just is really icky to me. Matt is an adult man living on his own! These characters never call another abled character these names. I guess what i’m saying is if you’re writing a fic and you want other characters to call him that please think about it in the greater societal context. Disabled people are so often infantilized and stripped of our agency. If you do put something like that in there have Matt react to it. Have him be mad at the infantilization, just something. As someone who get infantilized a lot due to my autism its exhausting and frustrating and it makes me want to scream.   

Jen, Matt and Jess in court

This is kind of an addition to my last post

*Matt is representing Jessica Jones against someone who is being represented by Jennifer Walters. All hell breaks loose for some reason and Jen turns into the Hulk*

Matt: *slight fear* Jessica what the fuck am I sensing???

Jessica: I don't even know dude.

Matt: *trying to figure out wtf is going on while also being annoyed because he can't do shit right now with all these people here*

Jessica: *Placing herself between Matt and the chaos knowing full well he can handle himself but everyone else in the court doesn't so now she has to "protect" this dumbass lawyer who can totally defend himself*

Jessica: Calm the fuck down I got this.

Matt: *opens his mouth to protest*

Jessica: Don't you fucking dare out yourself, I got this covered congrats you're just a helpless blind lawyer now.

Matt: *glaring* I am not helpless!

Jessica: Thats why I told you, you fucking idiot! If you were helpless I wouldn't have had to say it! Now shut up!

Matt: *Sulks*

Jennifer: *listening to them bickering knowing full well who Matt is because of 4th wall breaking powers* Hey guys! What are you arguing about?

Jessica: *still standing protectively in front of Matt* My lawyer's an idiot

Matt: *offended noise*

Matt: Can someone please tell me what's going on?!

Jessica: Well she's like two feet taller now and green.

Matt: *visible confusion*

Jen: no no she's right

Matt: ha ha guys real funny to fuck with the blind guy

Jen: What? no we're not. I'm She-Hulk.

Matt: Haha Ya right Hulk's don't grow big and turn green.

Jen:...

Jessica:...

Everyone:...

Jessica: Dude what the fuck do you think a Hulk is???

Matt: *defensively* a really strong guy

Jen and Jess: 🤦

Reacting to TLAT Reviews pt2

I saw Thor: Love and Thunder last night and my friend @marvelvibess​ just sent me these hilarious reviews of the movie. They are too good not to react to honestly. 

{Image description: light grey text on a black background reading: WORSE marvel movie ever!!! Kirby Lee Ditko Steranko and the gang from marvel NEVER not one time created ANY character openly gay or announcing they were gay ..so marvel , Disney stop pushing this please. Create a character that is and so be it. 

Korg is not GAY!!No Eternal was gay and in the printed issues I collect never will be. Btw fat man can’t tie his shoes much less be a superhero. This is ridiculous already. Make up your own stories and contaminate those characters. Don’t destroy something that will never be gay! You can’t change a written story for moneys liking. I worked with a gay captain for 11 yrs has nothing to do with pro or anti anything!!! end image discription}

I love this one just because of how wrong it is. A list of canon queer characters from marvel comics: Valkyrie, Korg, Maria Hill, Ayo, Aaron Fisher (Captain America of the railways), William Kaplan (Wiccan), Theodor Altman (Hulkling), Arnie Roth (Steve Roger’s best friend from the 40s and one of the the inspirations for Movie!Bucky), Tony Stark (never officially says but it is heavily implied, here is a good post on it) Yelena Belova, and those are just the 10 I can think of off the top of my head. In fact marvel has a comic called “Marvel Voices: Pride” that is all short comics about many of its queer and trans super heroes!  

Also, the thing about Disney making stuff queer for the money really bugs me because its literally the exact opposite. Marvel is straight washing their characters for the movies because they’re afraid it won’t sell otherwise. Money and capitalism is why it is taking so long for us to get the good queer rep we want/need. 

{Image description: at the top left there are 4 stars in a line one is yellow while the other 4 are white. The text is light grey on a black background and it reads: Definitely would not recommend for anyone who has free time to watch because it was a waste of my time and money. The overall story was all over the place because of the constant narrative cut scenes, and with propaganda littered throughout the whole movie of LBGTQ+ness it is another reminder of how superheros can’t just be super.

The different representations of the other gods was pretty sad of 2022, and with the whole conflict of the movie being about the “god butcher’ he should have left more of a lasting impression on the characters in the movie. Instead to me all i got was “boggie man” and that was a bit of a downer compared to other more well developed characters. If the original Norse mythology is on your radar there were a couple of fun quips referencing them. However, your beloved characters from Thor Ragnarok end up being drivers for the problems in this world and supporting it, and that is not my cup of tea. end image description}

Ok say it with me DIVERSITY ISN’T PROPAGANDA PEOPLE JUST EXIST. DIVERSITY ISN’T PROPAGANDA PEOPLE JUST EXIST. DIVERSITY ISN’T PROPAGANDA PEOPLE JUST EXIST.

ngl at this point my hopes for this show are very low (I know Charlie and Jon will act the fuck out of it and do the best they can tho) 

Just to clarify it seems Elden and Deborah are still “unconfirmed” for DD:BA I assume they aren’t coming back but everything I’ve read is not giving any clear information, even the article that says they aren’t coming back isn’t saying anything 100%

“However, other actors from the Netflix Daredevil series are not expected to return. Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson, who played classic supporting characters Karen Page and Foggy Nelson, respectively, are not on the roll call for the Marvel series. It is also unclear whether those characters will be recast or excised from the story.”

It says they are not expected to return, marvel is sneaky as fuck and I don’t want to believe anything at this point

If they don’t come back I’m fucking rioting
