-yknow I realized 2025 has a reoccurring theme...bc we got Captain America: Brave New World, Sunrise on the Reaping, Sinners, and Superman. All of them pick apart the current system and the system that hasn't changed since it began. They're perfect for 2025.

-Man, I was crying since it started. Like his backstory is common knowledge at this point, but...idk this time felt different. Just the thought that his parents sent him somewhere to live and have an opportunity to make something of himself. And he did.

-Krypto had me stressing the whole movie. Was hoping they wouldn't hurt him! Also, we got a Supergirl cameo, AND she's played by young Rhaenyra Targaryen?? Love it! Can't wait to see what they do with her bc so far, they got her character pretty accurate.

-Love how Superman paid more attention to saving people than fighting the villains. I actually heard someone say "Superman is a firefighter not a cop" and it stuck with me bc they're right. He kept that baby above material that could basically disintegrate him, while fighting people off. He even saved a squirrel from getting trampled. He wept for a guy that sold him food once and got shot just for having spoken to him. His heart's so big I legit cried when they were being mean to him. He adores earth and humanity so much. And no matter if they turned against him, he still wanted to protect.

-Lois actually having her bite back and being supportive of Clark ❤️. Thankful they gave her a role in helping save the day.

-I hope they put Mr. Terrific in more projects! Pretty solid character introduction. Plus, that scene of him fighting by himself reminded me of that scene where Yondu kills the ravagers.

-Lex was a goddamn HATER to the highest degree omg...kinda why I like this iteration because they truly made him evil

-yo the pocket dimension thing reminded me of when Trump was (still is) deported people to that El Salvador prison. Or dropping people midair. Or creating Aligator Alcatraz. And the fact that it's implied some of those people in that pocket dimension prison didn't really commit crimes, they did small things. And look, now you can get detained by ice for even looking a certain way. Lex Luthor gave off Trump vibes when he was like "the government gave me permission to" or "I created this conflict for the excuse to kill you" because it's exactly what he does. And Lex had the audacity to cry when he had to face the consequences...like a certain someone.

-Jimmy did that girl so wrong, she was so sweet...annoying yeah, but very sweet, a weekend can't have hurt that bad! (Just don't look at her feet if you think she has mutated toes) idk I just feel bad bc girl was being hurt in her relationship with Lex and the only person that gave her somewhat nice attention was Jimmy and he just used her.

-...was that clone supposed to be Conner Kent?? Or like...a prototype? Like, is Lex actually gonna make another clone that's Conner? Or maybe he was supposed to be like Bizzaro Superman?

-I will say sometimes the camera angles looked a bit funny. But overall an enjoyable film.

Given the current circumstances, Hamilton's King George iii is cackling rn

Hey Misha posted his number in case you wanna talk with him about the protests and ICE.

Last night, I watched the protest in LA on several different lives. I've never been to one nor seen one before. That shit was horrifying. I saw the protesters staying peaceful the whole time. It was the cops and reinforcements gassing people, sending fireworks, and shooting people with rubber bullets. There were many accounts of the bullets leaving dents. Yes, I remember seeing looting, but they shut that down real fast. Unfortunately, some people will do dumb shit that makes us all look bad. And I bet Fox will eat that up. I think I stopped watching around 2am.

Officers and soldiers should be loyal to the constitution and its people first before anything else. They're meant to protect us. Yet all I saw was the government attacking it's own civilians. See, if the United States actually has 'freedom of speech and freedom to protest' then why are we met with guns and gas when we are being peaceful?

And being peaceful can only last so long when violence is used against you. If someone repeatedly kicks you, will you kick back or let them keep doing it? As Americans, we have to protect our rights and defend those who can't defend themselves. If America wants to be great, we have to choose to be better. And understand that the country has never been great...because of division. We have to gain our empathy back, as our truest enemy is being heartless. America as a country was meant to be a melting pot. It was founded by immigrants. (Stolen from the Natives tho, let's not forget that ever)

Btw those are some screenshots I got from last night.

'Obediance preserves dignity, rebellion creates monsters.'

1)All dead tributes are reanimated corpses programmed to kill any tributes they're able to catch. These dead tributes look as human as they possibly can. They Capitol made sure not to miss a single detail of how each tribute looked while alive.

2)If a tribute of this game is killed by another tribute, they're taken on a hovercraft and are allowed proper burial. But if they're killed by one of the zombie mutts? They'll become one themselves...just less humanlike and more wolfish. (if killed by a game trap they still become a mutt...you seriously think they'd give you the easy way out? No, they want bloodshed)

3)The scenario I imagined was a career girl (District 1) went into the hunger games with her boyfriend. He was killed early on in the games tho by a Zombie. Near the end? Maybe down to the last 3 tributes is where she finally comes in contact with his mutated form. He's supposed to kill her. He doesn't because he still remembers her and that he loved her. He's confused what's going on and just lays his head on her lap because it feels safe. Then he's shot in the head while his lover looks down at him in shock.

4)The girl makes it to the final two. But instead of a fair 1 on 1, they have to fight off the large amount of dead tributes. The only way to stop them is to kill the final tribute. To her luck, the other tribute hands her the knife and asks for a quick death because they'd like to die with dignity. "If you kill me, I'll stay myself."

5) So the girl became the Victor of her games. She gets to live...but the capitol knows the other tribute willingly chose to be killed. The Games are meant to strip people of their humanity. They knew she killed that tribute as a kindness, not out of desire to win. Not to mention the whole scene with her boyfriend. It wasn't exactly her fault he disobeyed...but they knew that clip would have to be deleted from the footage. It was again, too human for their tastes.

6)I like to think this specific Game is why the Capitol stopped using corpses. They started using only lab grown mutts instead. You can't tell me the Capitol doesn't have everyone's genetic data on file.

7)That girl is mostly forgotten bc her tapes aren't as accessible anymore. She's blacklisted. She doesn't get the Finnick treatment luckily, and it's not like she had family to begin with. Girl was orphaned prior to the games. People actually bet on her death the most bc she had nobody to get home to. She goes crazy, reasonably so bc anybody would be traumatized... She prolly hallucinates that her boyfriend is alive and living with her. She's alone in Victor's Village and doesn't survive Victor's Purge.

Extra:

1) Rain is acidic...the arena is an abandoned hospital/research facility. There's holes in the roof at random. Luckily, it only rains on every odd day. So hurry up and get to murdering each other and less chance of dying by acid.

2) Missing floorboards. Easy to get caught or tripped, especially if being chased.

3) Hide in the wrong room? Gas chambers.

4)The mutts/zombies only come out one hour a day.

5) Thanks to Ai, you'll hear the dead tributes voices down the halls. Their voices can lure you to your death with ease. Imagine how many current tributes knew the dead ones? (Yo, imagine that's something the interviews help with. Bc they'd need clips of your voice to do this.)

6) The doors are open. But little do the tributes know if they even step a foot outside, a guillotine type of thing comes down to slice whatever where the door should be. So...there's definitely at least one or two tributes that got sliced in half or had to go through the games missing part of their foot.

7)The goal here is to create an environment so awful that the tributes have no choice but to start killing. And btw, the cornucopia is on top of the roof. They must either press the button beneath them to drop then into the building or try their best to grab supplies first and risk immediate death. But it's recommended you get supplies bc yknow an acid proof jacket or umbrella would be useful. Silver bullets would be appreciated. You get the gist. Once everyone's inside it starts to acid rain so they take cover.

Oh and SOtR spoilers but...it'd be interesting if this game was after Haymitch's. Because you know damn well he'd see: Louella, Lou Lou, Maysilee, Wellie, Ampert, and Wyatt. Oh and Beetee gets to see his son too. I think Snow would enjoy this game bc he gets to torture them even more.

Yall this is Cas (had my family vote on the name lol)

Any tips on caring for kittens? Haven't had a cat since forever...

Also, what kinda cat is he? His parents were pretty big, but not like mainecoon big.
