the same people who wrote steve saying “this isn’t freedom; this is fear” wrote him retiring under mccarthyism.

…it’s almost like it’s impossible to make a decent movie with Marveldisney execs breathing down your neck and slamming ten contradictory sets of Extruded Blockbuster Product plot points down on your desk alongside ten contradictory sets of interest groups to pander to and avoid offending at any cost, starting with the Chinese government censors

Like, that may sound like flippant speculation but the entire creative team was really fucking up-front about what allowed them make Winter Soldier the movie it was. Marvel gave them all their plot points well in advance, signed off on their basic concept, and then fucked off and let them do their thing and gave them time to edit the shit out of everything. How many of those elements were in evidence for Endgame, for Infinity War, or even for Civil War? Zero. Nada. Absolutely none of the production conditions that gave them the ability to craft a decent story applied to any of their later MCU movies. And it shows–of course it fucking shows, they’re not wizards, but given their ability to produce good stuff under good conditions, the fact that their subsequent MCU offerings blow chunks is more revealing about the conditions than about the creative team. If you want to fault them, fault them for accepting a deal with the devil and continuing to play along after it became clear that they weren’t there to make good movies, they were there to churn out Extruded Blockbuster Product on demand.

On board with most of this, but Markus and McFeely are both on my shitlist for going so hard at ‘just bro no homo’ ing Steve in basically every interview since WS

Exactly!

Not even the Cone of Shame can stop this bloodthirsty man-eating predator!!

“ I know what you came for, fuckers”

Literally what it was thinking

countries where prostitution is legal have higher rates of human trafficking. that’s like an actual fact. not an opinion or anything. so tbh it seems a bit ‘swerfy’ to completely ignore that

speaking, uh, as a formerly-trafficked sex worker, it’s extremely difficult to come forward as a trafficking victim in countries where sex work is criminalized; you just… get criminalized under those same anti-prostitution laws. of course reported trafficking would increase when the sole fact of coming forward as a sex worker at all no longer endangers you.

nature is raw af

It’s a good metaphor tho, because the situation is never going to get better if you don’t eventually pull the door. And afterwards, no matter what the damage was, you’ll have a working cabinet, whatever plates you could salvage, and a place to start putting new plates.

Reblogging for that comment ^
