man. Remember the first time you watched Thor: Ragnarok (2017) Dir. Taika Waititi and hela asked thor ‘what were the god of again?’ and then it went to loki smirking and you KNEW something good was coming. And then immigrant song started to kick in and the LIGHTING started and you felt your SOUL leave your body and go to another plan of existance. Then Thor desending lighting and all onto that pile of aliens in slow motion looking goddamn RENAISSANCE painting? That moment changed me! the DRAMA! The rest of that scene? Valkyrie, Loki, and Hulk fighting together? Thor’s LIGHTING striking those aliens straight outta there like they were fucking ants? ICONIC! The iconic truly JUMPED out of that movie! Taika Waititi took my hand in that movie, told me it was all gonna be ok and then changed my life FOREVER! That was ART! Mr. Waititi thank you for my LIFE
For those who have not yet felt this experience in all it’s glory (or those who just want to feel it again):
Feinstein: You’re a big, powerful man. Why didn’t you [gestures pushing motion]?
Crews: Senator, as a black man in America [sigh]…
Feinstein: Say it as it is. I think it’s important.
Crews: …you only have a few shots at success. You only have a few chances to make yourself a viable member of the community. I’m from Flint, Michigan. I have seen many many young black men who were provoked into violence, and they were imprisoned, or they were killed, and they’re not here. My wife for years prepared me. She said, “If you ever get goaded, if you ever get prodded, if you ever have anyone try to push you into any kind of situation, don’t do it. Don’t be violent.” And she trained me. I’ll be honest with you it was the strength of my wife who trained me and told me, “If this situation happens, let’s leave.” And the training worked because I did not go into my first reaction, I grabbed her hand, we left, but the next day I went right to the agency. I have texts, I have phone conversations, and I said, “This is unacceptable!” And I told them how -you know- I almost got violent, but I didn’t. And I said, “What are you going to do about this predator that you have roaming your hallways?” And -you know- I was told, “We are going to do everything in our power. We are going to handle this Terry. You’re right. It is unacceptable.” And then they disappeared. Nothing happened.
Look at the faces of the black men behind him it says it all.
This is real fucking infuriating. This shit isn’t funny. Fuck them and anyone who makes fun of Terry Crews speaking out and taking a stand.
for those who don’t know the context, this is Terry Crews testifying about being sexually assaulted by Adam Venit during a Senate hearing about a proposed bill called the Sexual Assault Survivors Bill of Rights. While I don’t like that Senator Feinstein said what she said, I think it opened the door for a great statement from Terry about WHY he didn’t fight back – since so many people respond to male victims with “oh well you’re bigger than your rapist, why didn’t you push him or her off of you? why didn’t you punch him or her? did you want it or something?” And they don’t listen. Maybe finally people will listen.
This shows that anyone can be a victim of sexual assault, even a tall, strong, hulking guy like Terry Crews. And I hope him coming forward with his accusations convinces other victims to realize that it being a victim isn’t something to be ashamed of and to take down their attackers, and push the justice system to FINALLY take male rape and assault seriously.
I think she asked him the question precisely for that
I honestly love the costume department for the first Avengers movie so damn much because everything about their costumes are so very Intentional and I love it. Sure their costumes aren’t really the best looking (see: Cap’s cowl), but the costumes are perfect for being the first movie for a Group, y’know? The costume create these sort of characateurs of the characters that form the perfect introduction of this ragtag group of heroes.
Cap’s costume in and of itself is… kind of a tragedy. It really is NOT the prettiest thing in the world but it’s the perfect sort of first try. It’s bright blue and unrealistic red gloves and the star is big and proud and the whole costume looks like it came right out of a comic book and leaves room for development as his character becomes more than a righteous soldier with a hero complex in the movies that follow. Then there’s Thor. His costume is fine enough, but I’ve always thought it looks a little cheap or cheesy or something along those lines, but that’s kinda what it’s supposed to be. Thor is a god in a world previously closed off to the whole concept of aliens and real life mythology and this is his stepping out into the world so of course his costume is godly and odd and once again looking like a characateur.
And that’s not even getting me started on the subtle things. Bruce is frequently pictured in the movie wearing a purple button-up. It’s subtle and unimportant but it’s perfect because the hulk is frequently known for wearing purple pants and they’re introducing this character with a new actor and so they put him in a purple shirt to make him more easily identifiable as the Hulk. Then there’s Tony. Tony’s différent because his suit is his main fighting gear and of course that goes through all of its technical changes throughout all of the movies he’s in and because he’s in more movies than the others, the costuming is a little more subtle. But I still think it’s important to note that on the Helicarier Tony is pictured wearing a Black Sabbath T-shirt that fits his character perfectly.
There’s not too much to say about Clint and Nat because they’re agents and their costumes aren’t too complex beyond the basic tac gear, but there are still some notable details I think. Nat’s hair, for example, is a slightly more Red color in The Avengers movie than any other. It has its iconic curl and bright color that makes her look like she’s right out of a comic book.
While we’re on the topic of SHIELD agents, I think it’s important to point out the great costume design that went into Hill’s, Fury’s, and all the other general SHIELD agents’ costumes. With Fury, for example, I love how the combination of the eye patch and the long coat create this ominous persona that helps to define the director of this newly introduced spy agency that’s pulling the strings behind the scenes and creating the Avengers. The most simple of details that I still Love is that of all the SHIELD agents, including Maria Hill. They have their own sort of uniform but it’s different from the tac gear that Nat and Clint where, branded with SHIELD logo and once again introducing this new MegaSecret Spy Agency to viewers in the perfect way.
I may have thought about this way too much but yeah I love the Avengers’ costumes a little too much in The Avengers, that’s all
So idk if you guys know, but trump is coming to the UK on Friday 13 July (because of course he is).
So, a lot of us are getting ready to protest the fuck out of him when he gets here, which in great British fashion basically means we’re all taking the piss out of him.
Anyway, someone crowd funded a giant floatable trump to take on the protest and it’s magnificent.
Fuck him up for us, k?
Will do 👍 he’s going to Aberdeenshire after London, so the Scots will deffo get him. Last time he was in Scotland, someone followed him around playing a tune on a tuba.
we’re watching the new season of queer eye and my dad is actually crying over the ep with the trans dude, like he’s talking about his top surgery and my dad is in tears going “when you sculpt marble the sculpture is already inside, you’re just getting rid of what isn’t part of it! he’s just getting rid of what isn’t part of him!”
so from my oldass 70 year old dad to all my trans followers, y’all are marble sculptures and you’re perfect
Look at this shit. The incel crisis is becoming an epidemic.
But I mean just look at the physiognomy on this fucking guy.
Also I’m praying this guy doesn’t commit some sort of mass violence. He has a “Trump confederate flag” in his fb header.
Bro, the whole time i was reading this I was thinking this was some joke or a commentary on how creepy men can be, but no, this nigga was dead ass. This shit scary lmao and I hope the nigga he bit don’t got rabies, look at this nigga teeth 🤢🤮
Shit like this is horrifying
Think about what that girl gotta go thru now. She either has to get a restraining order or switch jobs all because of some donkey toothed mouth breather and his obsessive crush
People are saying that this is fake—satirical? Something from 4chan?—but it’s not funny because shit like this does happen to so many women. Men do this exact same thing to women, every day, feel they’re in the right, and are supported in it.
