I get on here some times, and I go off about some goober thing like Star Trek or Fallout or what the fuck ever, and even then I feel a little silly.

And it is silly. Whatever inspiration or insight exists there, it's still pop culture.

Then there's this unmitigated imbecile

When you're fucking dedicating your life to throwing down over fucking comic book movies like it's Vatican II, it's time to stop.

Sit down. Your shit is fried. It's over.

You can learn from pop culture. You can find meaning in it. There is heart and soul in it. There's passion and grace.

But at the end of the day it's a fucking movie about a fucking Norse god with a fucking hammer.

Enjoy it, or don't enjoy it. Grumble some, sure.

Then sit down.

I'ma be honest:

I read Jane Foster-as-Thor a long while back, and ...

It was so bad, y'all. Not conceptually, but in execution: so, so bad.

It's got nowhere to go but up. https://twitter.com/ThePhantomEarth/status/1286792154728345600

I still remember the scene where Jane talked a woman villain into giving up, turning on her male accomplice *and going to jail* out of some kind of sisterhood solidarity.

Dude wrote it.

Jesus it was stupid.

Also the whole time she had cancer, and nobody could do shit about it.

Doctor Strange, Reed Richards, Tony Stark ... nobody.

Tony fucking Stark reprogramed his biology to rewrite itself via the Extremis infection. He LITERALLY HAD THE CURE FOR CANCER.

Except nope.

She had to be dying, because pathos.

And everytime she became Thor she made it worse, because noble sacrifice.

I get it. I get the themes.

But ... cancer? She's on a first name basis with *gods,* but cancer's a bridge too far?

Please let the movie be better. Please.

Yup, this was the bit.

It's still so fucking stupid. https://twitter.com/firingwall/status/1286794422588407810

And I'm gonna make y'all mad here: I was not a fan of Waititi's take on Thor.

He steps on his emotional beats for the sake of a gag. Repeatedly. His style irritates me.

Having said all that, whatever he does will still be better than that god awful comic.

Anyway fuck Quarterpounderwithcheese.

It was from Marvel NOW!, which I found to be their cruelest bait and switch.

BIG CHANGES! A woman is Thor! A black man is Captain America! An Asian man is the Hulk! You're represented! They're just like you!

Reverted every change within 3 years. https://twitter.com/SolientArt/status/1286797262514003970

"Hey, kid! Captain America is black, like you! You can be Captain America! You can carry the shield! You can wait no sorry Steve Rogers is young again oh well fuck your dreams little man."

See what I meant here about me grumbling over pop culture?

Ultimately it's meaningless, though I do feel strongly sometimes.

Like taking the shield from Sam. I knew it was gonna happen when they announced it, I knew they were gonna break some little kid's heart. Still mad.
