watching on my tv, typing on my wireless keyboard, fidgeting with my phone.

knitting acquired.
haven& #39;t the foggiest idea what this project is... it starts with like an inch of navy 1k1p rib, and then switches to lilac stockinette? but lilac is a gud color.
might even watch a film while I& #39;m at it

TIL Ctrl+Enter sends tweet?
Why are keyboard shortcuts and hotkeys secrets we gotta quest for?
might even unpause the movie now that mouse is no longer (as) mission-critical to jotting these thoughts.

..............that opening upset me.
but when did they even go to space
I know it& #39;s been at least a literal year since I watched Infinity War (to which I was also late), but. I remember Wakanda. not the wild inaccurate greens of space. I assume this is an In Medias Res thing but. why

oop. you know what I never saw? Captain Mar-vell.
I suspect it will be Fine. also I want you to know that when she appeared my brain provided babby anakin ARE YOU AN ANGEL and I giggled.
"I lost the kid" WHAT IS HAPPENING maybe I DON& #39;T remember the end of Infinity War
in light of current events -- I appreciate, deeply, how gaunt, how wasted Tony Stark looks.
I am also pausing the movie to write a list of keyboard shortcuts on my whiteboard brb

there isn& #39;t a way to rapid-keynav to "add another tweet" while outside the last tweet you wrote OR to get to the + new tweet in this thread. And if you wanna tab your way to the latter? best be done with the prior tweet, mate, because THE TWEET ENTRYFIELD ISN& #39;T IN THE TAB ORDER
tony stark and I both having a bit of a melty nbd
OH JEEZ, so if you accidentally overshoot and cycle the tab order with 2 tweets in the chamber, tab order now includes the PRIOR TWEET& #39;S ADD MEDIA. BUT NOT TEXT EDITING. what.... what a weird UI.

also do not try to use tab stops to get to the "add another tweet" button. just. just don& #39;t. save urself.
going back to the film, I remembered finally that lol yes they were indeed on a different planet, tony and peter and doc strange were. like i said it& #39;s been a year.
still don& #39;t remember why tony has a reactor on his chest when the end of IM3 was specifically to... undo... that??

focusing on cap during the jump is a nice touch. that they immediately made overly obvious by having him stare at peggy. but what can ya do.

sorry y& #39;all I uh. like. I needed a moment. and uh. not for the reasons the directors probably hoped I would.
what was that. what WAS that.
what was that. what WAS that.
see my problem isn& #39;t even with what Thor did, because it was solidly foreshadowed (thorshadowed? thorshaowed.)
It& #39;s because the confrontation scene UP TO THAT POINT feels like they& #39;re talking to Stone Cold Steve Austin in the wrestling ring.

it was paced like pro wrestling, something that one of the target demographics (children) understand resolves in a specific way.
and then subverts it for the other target demo (adults who want REAL STAKES)
but it just feels ridiculous as an adult. and idk maybe upsetting as kid

on the subject of cheap deep, this establishing scene of a support group when it& #39;s been five years.
wrestling terms gonna keep coming up
whales in the hudson? sorry no.
I was gonna comment on Natasha& #39;s hair looking wretched and then I realized that they& #39;re establishing she& #39;s a natural redhead and isn& #39;t taking care of herself / hasn& #39;t cut hair in five years and
:(
:(
gotta say, the cast is sincerely selling "going mad from various isolation"
TONY STARK GOT TO BE A DAD
MY HEART.

pretty annoying that they open the timeskip by declaring that moving on is difficult yet essential.
that Tony Stark actually DOES THE THING
TONY STARK. OF ALL THE PEOPLE. HUNG UP THE CAPE.
and they are doing this.

(puzzled) what is the visual difference between a mobius strip and an *inverted* mobius strip? I wasn& #39;t seein& #39; it. like if someone can show me some side by sides I& #39;d be down.
this movie is promoting unhealthy ideas about coping with grief and I really, really do not appreciate it.
which must be why they gave us this time travel "funny" scene.
sorry, joy is lost on me when im not watching shitty thriller movies, can& #39;t enjoy True Cinema like this at the full level it was meant to be loved, apparently.

Avengers: Endgame is grief porn.
I haven& #39;t explicitly stated that up to this point. but sending Clint Barton back to his family& #39;s home and showing him sobbing over a glove, ripping him out of spacetime he he only hears but can& #39;t see his family....
this is grief porn.

(doing that partly to orient y& #39;all, partly to orient me if I look back at this thread later. partly because I was probably right when I told a friend watching this film will take me the whole day.)
they& #39;re recapping a lot of skipped films lmao
I love though that Natasha is actually
- taking pen/paper notes
- paying enough attention to observe that half of the target objects are in one slice of spacetime loaf

"spacetime loaf" isn& #39;t a metaphor they use but it& #39;s one I learned in astronomy 101 that imo is useful when trying to visualize the fourth dimension

the interplay of "thor is drunk" shenanigans and "thor is really devastated that his mom died" is
thanks Rocket
thanks Rocket
side note but was Chris Hemsworth& #39;s eye intentionally blown out in that scene or? it was practically brown with "popped blood vessel"
pissy sibling rivalry time is cute -- was this part of GOTG? or is this new for this film?
oh thank you film for immediately answering my question.

this isn& #39;t fair. im crying a little for reasons that the movie stole from me, didn& #39;t truly build from itself.
okay but mjolnir scene was........ Good.
lmaooooooo at Thanos and his utter indifference at getting his head chopped off
"you trust me?"
"I do"
lol the tony/steve shippers being fed

this is the final resolution of the best platonic relationship in the MCU, isn& #39;t it.
also this mutual suicidality is crappy nonsense. I don& #39;t like any of this.

movie really saying "these two are worthless because their love arcs are currently over, so either can die"
did they just
fucking fight each other
over who gets the privilege of dying

and this is how I reacted to Gamora in Infinity War, by the way.
I can look up the tweet later but yea.

credit where it is due: the film has, very much, kept me sufficiently engaged.
by that I mean, I can tweet while it& #39;s playing without missing stuff (it& #39;s paused atm, because GAH this is a long film)

wrt knitting, I believe I made exactly one stitch of progress before bagging it.
tweeting is slightly more amusing, and it& #39;s easier to do while watching/with film in peripheral vision. also bc this has over time developed as my compulsive way of watching films by myself.

the writers: her death is Just Sad Enough™

mfw I realize Chris Hemsworth actually wears this weight the whole film, that it& #39;s not a brief joke for him to lightning off

was too busy realizing that to hear the first half of whatever bullshit Thanos is talking, but I remember all the hashtaggers back in the day thinking they& #39;d cracked the code on philosophy watching Infinity War, so lemme see this film& #39;s hot take monologues
brief aside before I unpause it -- thanos doing all of this to simp for Death is somehow actually a cooler backstory.
The Dark Knight was ten years prior to these films. did we really need another "blue and orange morality BECAUSE YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND HIS ESOTERIC MIND" guy

"you could not live with your own failure" is a weird as hell way to phrase "cope with grief" but go off i guess, thanos, you weird, weird lad
