Serenity Dee: SFF is still maladjusted

Giving you a very subtle message. Buy the skirt. 😉

Imagine being such a fucking loser that you think Pete Hegseth looks cool.

Me: Babe

When I die

I want you to make my headstone a statue of me with the words "I loved you...such a pity you forced me to transform you to living stone for all eternity" under it

My Girlfriend: .............

For example

"YOU F*CK LIKE A YOUNG MAN

WITH NOTHING HELD BACK

I am a simple soul

Honestly Clark, I don't think you'd surprise a psychologist with these dreams

Me: Adorable and wholesome even if it is unbelievable

Someone: Yeah, space aliens? Ridiculous

Me:

I hate this Injustice ass idea where Clark is the one who is closer to the line than Bruce is.

If anyone is going to snap between the two of them, Bruce is going first.

at that point Clark had already used his godlike power to murder one of the people he loved most in the world, and I always figured that him crossing that line, even unknowingly, is what broke him

because, as Clark said in Kingdom Come, when you strip everything away down to the very core of who they are, the one thing that defines both of them is that they don't want to see anybody die

it's not just a core belief, it's right at the center of what drives every decision they ever make

because they know, intensely and personally, that death is the end of hope, that once someone is dead, everything that they could be is gone

and time and again we see that this faith is not misplaced, that their greatest enemies sometimes become temporary allies, fighting to save the world they both share against even greater threats, or even fully redeem themselves

the Harley Quinn cartoon even gave us a redeemed Joker, although I don't think that's something the main continuity Joker is capable of doing; he's very consciously and deliberately a monster, and he continually makes choices to make the world worse, because the only thing he wants, the only thing he will ever want, is to watch the world burn

Uh huh, I mean, the Wrap are generally quite good about this kind of thing I've found, so this is PROBABLY the case...

But if WB is pressuring DC Studios to focus more on a Bane/Deathstroke movie due to an action movie starring two dudes is seen as a safer bet box office-wise than, say, a new Wonder Woman movie, I'll be extremely disappointed.

Because, among other things, Supergirl isn't a BAD movie which while mostly my opinion, it's also one seemingly reflected in the audience score and the opinions of most of the other folk who I've spoken too who've seen it. It just seems we can't just have films just be good, or just okay with good bits these days.

And yeah

If you want a perfect example of why I have absolutely no interest in the godawful worthless trash that is superhero cinema anymore?

Look no further than the fact that this dogshit genre is literally going to give us a movie featuring a character who raped a child while trying to murder teenagers...but has yet give us a single movie featuring ANY worthwhile LGBTQ representation

DC and the MCU have, to date, not made a single film featuring ANY queer or trans representation of any worth or value. There has been NOTHING but the same tedious nauseatingly cishet dogshit regurgitated down the moronic viewing publics throats over and over

But it will make a movie featuring Slade Wilson the mass murdering pedophile who got his daughter addicted to drugs and abused her so badly she cut her own eye out

like, I haven't bothered watching a Toy Story movie since 3 and only reluctantly did I watch that one, because I thought it was already played out after 2, so I was only vaguely aware of a new one being on the way, but as soon as I saw a headline about the new movie opening against a major Pixar release I knew it was fucked and of course the lesson they're going to take away isn't "don't fucking open against one of the most popular franchises of the past 30 years and counting" but "we need more dudebro movies"

I am eagerly waiting for the third Spider-Verse movie and if they'd actually stuck to the plan of making Carol Danvers the central character of the MCU following Steve Rogers going off into the sunset I might have actually cared about the new Avengers movie, but instead they're bringing him back after he got his happy ending

The community living next to the largest datacentre park in Europe say the scorching summer heat has grown unbearable. On days like Wednesday, said Nabeel Nawaz, the store manager of a Chaiiwala franchise in the centre of Slough, the heat is like something “pinching your body and burning your skin”. What is harder to establish is whether this heat is just the result of the climate emergency, and the growing industrial sprawl across London, or whether the dozens of energy-hungry datacentres that have sprung up are also contributing to the problem. Ten miles (16km) west of Heathrow, Slough has become one of the largest datacentre hubs in the world, hosting an estimated 30 to 40 huge facilities, many of them on a campus in the centre of town. These – owned and maintained by companies like Equinix and Digital Realty – serve dozens of clients, including the world’s biggest tech companies: Amazon, Google, Oracle and Microsoft. More are still to be built in a planned development on the edge of the same campus. Emerging research – including a preprint of a paper led by researchers at Cambridge earlier this year – suggests datacentres create a heat island effect, pushing up temperatures in their immediate vicinity by an average of 2C, and as much as 9C. This is because of the cooling systems required to keep down the temperature of sensitive electronics, including cutting-edge AI chips. The government has proposed using the waste heat from datacentres to warm thousands of homes.

Leaving superheroes alone to plan tends to not go well for the bad guys.

I do love how they made Twoflower into a loud American tourist in the BBC adaptation, though
