Reacting To TLAT Reviews Pt2

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.

Literally all of this! There is not enough NB Foggy content and we deserve more. 

Non binary Foggy Nelson thoughts/headcanons

-They came up with the nickname foggy when they were little (I know in the comics Matt comes up with it but in the MCU they’ve been using the name since before Matt)

-They came out when they were really young, just by telling their family and everyone else that they aren’t a boy

-because of this their family is super accepting, it’s just part of everyone’s life

-they just have a word for it now

- they are also bisexual

-they are terrified to come out to Matt because he’s catholic

-they have a pronoun pin and are slightly relived at first that Matt can’t see it because they don’t know how he’ll respond

- They are constantly trying to subtly bring up queer topics around Matt

- It does not work because Matt can hear how fast their heartbeat gets whenever they talk about it

-He can also tell how uncomfortable they get when someone calls them “he” but he doesn’t know why so he only ever calls them Foggy

- Foggy comes out to Matt in like their second year of law school

-they come out as bi first and then non binary

-Matt doesn’t fully understand but is super supportive

-Because of everything they talk about Matt realizes that he’s also bisexual and likes He/they pronouns

- when the NB flag is created (2014) Foggy is so excited and they immediately gos to get so many of them to hang everywhere

Bonus

-Karen and Marci are also trans :)

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: 🤦

(this came from a conversation I had with @marvelvibesss so they get credit for some of this!)

actually the thing abt matt murdock is there's stories disney could maybe (maybe) tell with some competence, like there's stories that can almost survive that degree of mass-appeal pro-establishment toothless passionless bullshit, but. daredevil? matthew michael daredevil murdock? if you disneyify matt he isn't matt anymore. daredevil is about the kind of bone-deep inextinguishable rage that ableism sparks and kindles in you. the way someone gets violent when violence is done to them ad nauseam. all superhero stories shld be about stepping up because you can't stand not to, but daredevil is that dialled up as far as it'll go

like. matt's whole deal is he is much more viscerally aware of the terrible shit most of us ignore, and his worldview means ignoring it is allowing it, and he is so incredibly traumatised. if a daredevil story doesn't piss anyone off it's a bad daredevil story. daredevil shld look u dead in the eye & say 'what are you allowing? what could you change?' because yeah matt is an insane person going above and beyond but he's trying to singlehandedly fix a community cuz if he doesn't who will. daredevil shld say solidarity with its whole chest.

Steve Rogers is allowed one (1) sex as a treat

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
