As a brother, there is no pain greater than watching someone you love suffer every single day, knowing you cannot take their pain away.

My brother has already been through surgery, endless hospital visits, and unimaginable hardship. We hoped the worst was behind us, but his journey is far from over. He still needs $1,500 to continue his treatment, receive the medications he depends on, and complete the medical care that gives him a real chance to recover.

Deadline: 21 Jul

Current Progress: $23,946 / $ 25,446

Every day we delay his treatment is another day of pain, fear, and uncertainty. Seeing him struggle while worrying about how we will afford his care is heartbreaking. We have done everything we can, but we have reached a point where we simply cannot do this alone.

Your support will help cover:

• Ongoing medical treatment

• Essential medications

• Medical supplies

• Follow-up care and rehabilitation

Every donation, no matter how small, brings my brother one step closer to recovery. If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing our fundraiser. One share could reach the person who changes everything for my brother.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing with my family during one of the hardest times of our lives. Your kindness gives us hope. ❤️

My sister’s four children lost their father in an airstrike. They are growing up without the love and protection of their father, and today they urgently need support, care, and a chance to have a safer future.

and now it’s clear to me that Tom just has those kind of eyes that look different in different lighting

-One Deadpool movie later-

Yep, truly the TVA has changed.

They've changed their footman into looking even more like Stormtroopers.

Oh, she cares so much

Oh and I heard the MCU is STILL doing reshoots, and as of today the script is STILL unfinished and they'll probably be tweaking and diddling with it up until its release date. It's going to be a trainwreck.

I think Hemsworth similarly said he was surprised when he saw "Thor will return" in the end credits of L&T. Alan Cummings has also gone on record saying he shot his scenes completely alone, and none of that speaks of the story for me. The MCU, practically in the Russos productions, is prioritizing nostalgia and "shocking twists" over coherent storytelling.

Raimi and Waldron openly admitted not watching or fully reading the scripts of WandaVision while they were making Multiverse of Madness, during the promotion of the movie, they openly said that. Love or hate Wanda's character, the fact that the MCU allowed the next chapter of a character to be continued by people who had no knowledge or interest in the previous character should demonstrate were the mcu priorities are.

of course, Tom Hiddleston thought he was done. The last episode was written with so much finality, and the directors of that show also changed the ending to give loki his sisyphean fate as if to make it extra clear that this was the end of Loki's character. Higher-ups could have vetoed that; they could have made it a requirement that Loki wasn't trapped and that there was more story open for him in the future, but they didn't.

That tells me he's shot so many scenes, so many SIMILAR scenes, over and over and over again, that he didn't even know he's in the movie!!!

I think in TH case it is more about teh fact that he got cut last minute from AoU and had his role in IW reduced significantly during producton

SO he never knows until he does ...

I don't think the actors even know what's going on during a scene, who is in the scene with them, or if it's even going to make it to the screen.

Yeah ...

As @therese-lokidottir said

Alan Cumming went no record saying he has no idea what's going on.

It's going to be a trainwreck.

I was just watching Thor for about the 78th time… And I have a bone to pick.

Let’s set aside here everything that Loki has done, and focus on how he was raised. People probably think “So, Odin didn’t tell Loki he was adopted. So what? That happens”. But think about this…Odin kept Loki’s true parentage from him his whole life, all the while raising him to believe that the frost giants were evil monsters. Odin knew Loki was a frost giant. He knew that was in his blood. And still he drilled into Loki that they were disgusting, vile, evil monsters who deserved to be overthrown.

Odin also raised him with the notion that he would be a king someday. When Odin said that, he never meant the King of Asgard…he meant the King of Jotunheim. Using Loki as pretty much nothing more than a bargaining chip for their games. Instilling the beliefs of Asgard into Loki, so when Odin felt it was time, he could push Loki into Jotunheim, ruling it under the belief system of Asgard.

Which means that Odin knew eventually he would have to tell Loki who he really was. There was no way he could put Loki in Jotunheim without Loki discovering he too was a frost giant. So Odin took this child…this innocent child…and brainwashed him into believing horrible horrible things about a race of beings, full well knowing that eventually Loki would learn he was bred from that race of beings. 

I mean…what did Odin really think was going to happen? I don’t know if I truly buy Odin’s whole “I love both my sons as equals.” I personally think that is a crock of shit.

Odin enforced beliefs into Loki that in turn made Loki racist against himself. Beliefs imbedded so deeply that Loki went as far as to attempt to destroy his entire own race…which still meant absolutely nothing to everyone around him. So Loki was punished and nearly exiled all for doing something that he was raised to believe was right. No matter how hard he tried to gain respect by doing what he was taught, he was still emotionally neglected. A failure. And Odin, who could have truly reached out to Loki at his breaking point, instead decided to show disdain and contempt.

So why were Thor and Odin(or anyone) so surprised when Loki covered up his feelings of self resentment and diminished worth with malicious and desperate behavior? His whole life Loki had been told the frost giants were heinous, inferior monsters. So based upon the beliefs that Odin enforced into Loki’s mind that too meant he was a heinous, inferior monster.

So yes, Odin, why didn’t you tell Loki from the beginning? Because it sure as fuck wasn’t to protect him…

- He was still planning on using Loki to control the throne of Jotunheim and wanted to use the shock and any self-hate and desire to prove himself of finding out he was jotun to keep him in that position (a horrible plan, really. one might assume he doesnt know his own children.)

Wearing a brightly coloured jumpsuit with a great big target on your torso probably doesn’t seem very practical from an urban camouflage point of view, but for Steve Rogers, it’s perfect. Why is he wearing the old costume? So people will know that he’s Captain America. He’s trusting that people will see him and rally around him, because that’s the whole point of Cap. That Cap/Falcon conversation (“How do we know which ones are the bad guys?” “They’ll be the ones shooting at us.”) isn’t just a snappy one-liner, it’s a tactical decision. In a war where no one is wearing a uniform and anyone could be the enemy, Steve is consciously choosing to represent one side instead of sneaking into SHIELD headquarters in disguise. So not only will he be able to tell who the bad guys are because they’re shooting at him, everyone else will be able to tell as well. Loyal SHIELD agents will know that if you’re shooting at the dude in the red, white and blue superhero costume, then you’re the enemy.

There’s also the possibility that the vintage Captain America costume helps Bucky regain his memory for long enough to stop murdering Steve in the face. Steve’s 21st century hair, clothes and uniform would all render him well-nigh unrecogniseable to Bucky’s distant memories of their life together, which are almost entirely subsumed by the Winter Soldier’s conditioning. Cap’s old wartime costume is the only thing that stands a chance of seeming familiar.
