The difference between Natasha’s Iron Man 2 and Black Widow movie poster😍

In the Iron Man 2 poster she still looked amazing, but I feel like it was sexualised, and she looked more sexualised than she did powerful. And they didn’t do that to any of the male superheroes because a large proportion of being a superhero is power and using that power for good, yet for Natasha on that poster her being sexualised seems to be the main thing, it’s like she was being objectifyed.

I just rewatched it, because why not? And with being a little older, I realised...

The Seabrook people say they don’t like anything different, to begin with, right? But if you think about it, everybody is different. You have people of different skin colours, different hair, different voices, and so on.

In today’s society some people see that as a difference and something to divide ourselves upon.

Now Seabrook don’t like differences, so if they thought someone of a different race for example, was different they’d exclude them.

So that makes me believe that that don’t see race or anything like that as a difference and the way they see it: “we’re all human at the end of the day”

And they probably only came to that conclusion, because of the Zombies. The humans didn’t need to create divide among themselves because they could create divide between humans and zombies.

So did the humans unite against the zombies?

Did the zombies technically unite humanity?

And even though, it’s the 21st century discrimination still exists and a number of people still hate on those who are different to them, it’s sad but true.

But my question is, if lets say (I know its unlikely) but some other species that wasn’t human but similar to humans was born- would humanity unite against them?

And would we learn that discrimination was wrong, again?

How many times would we have to be taught this lesson?

His mother is a serious problem for me. First she leaves him, making him think she’s on a “business trip”, then she shows up to announce she’s leaving and doesn’t really seem to care about how Ricky feels in the slightest, then she gets a new boyfriend and doesn’t even tell Ricky- nor does she even bother to ring Ricky he has to ring her to and she doesn’t even pick up the phone, it’s her boyfriend that does, and then when it’s his play and his time to shine, she brings her boyfriend- I mean didn’t she even consider that Ricky may not be exactly open to her new boyfriend just yet? He literally hung up on him, if that didn’t say anything I don’t know what would.

Fair enough, I get it people don’t always get on, they grow apart and they move on- that’s the case with Ricky’s parents. And yes his mother has the right to move on, but she can’t force that upon Ricky if he doesn’t want to know.

Now I completely agree, it would be amazing for HSMTMTS to go into depth about this issue but with only two episodes of the series left, I don’t think they’ll have the time yet (PS: I haven’t seen episode 8 yet so no spoilers😂)

And I just think it’s really good that HSMTMTS has actually written a male character who is insecure. Because often, TV shows write about a female character who is insecure, and she wears lots of makeup and has designer everything a lots of fake friends to cover up her insecurities.

But the thing is, I’m sure guys face these issues too in real life, this series shows that with the character EJ because he’s got the big muscles, the “sportsy guy” status, popular on his team, to begin with he had “the girl” (Nini) and I just think all that was to hide his insecurities as I said previously.

But because the show doesn’t have time to get into this issue deeply, I was thinking... This might sound so stupid, but I was wondering if I should write a story where the protagonist is like EJ- I’m not gonna completely steal EJ’s character but base mine off of him (and many guys like him I’ve seen at school😂) to dive into this issue deeper- I don’t wanna say too much about it, but it’s not gonna be stereotypical or unrealistic- and I mean I’ve been insecure like EJ in the past (only I’m a girl) and I handled my insecurities in many different ways- so I could somehow get that into the story too?

Following on from my last post about EJ on HSMTMTS.

I just wanna say what makes me think that way about him. It wasn’t really until the “Born To Be Brave” number, I thought that way about him.

Carlos, the dude who thought he got stood up, still slayed that dance floor. Ashlyn, runs up to help him, everyone else at the dance joins in, even Big Red the shy guy that’s supposed to hate musicals, and who’s best friend left the dance early- goes up and joins the crowd to dance.

And EJ’s kinda just left there sat by himself. Now to me, it doesn’t look like he feels like he’s better than them all so he doesn’t want to dance. He looks unsure of himself, like he wants to because they’re his friends, but at the same time he doesn’t want to because he’s worried about how it will affect his “image”.

Then last episode when he was admitting all the times he cheated and stuff, you see during the “Out Of The Old” number, he gets a comment from someone (who I bet he doesn’t even know) telling him he’s not cute and he’s ‘cancelled’ and just the look on his face after he saw it- you can tell it affected him in a bad way.

Then on top he has this “follow” checker which tells him how many followers he’s lost/gained.

Now unless, your job is a social media influencer (which I doubt his is) then you don’t need those kind of tools.

He needs the followers, and nice comments for validation- and the only way he could get lots of followers and nice comments is by faking it. And then I guess he adopted that approach for real life as well and “faking it on social media” in real life terms is “lying and cheating”.

He only believed he could get anywhere in life is cheating, and because he’s done it for so long- it’s because natural for him, so he doesn’t know how to stop.

But after last week’s episode, I actually do have sympathy for EJ. Why? Because despite his reputation of being the “popular senior” and whatever, I think he’s the most insecure character on the show.

Like sure, he’s a senior, he’s good at sports, he has muscles and whatever, a bunch of followers- but I think he only has all those things to try and mask his insecurities.

I think what this show doesn’t have an antagonist like most high school shows/movies. I think what it’s tryiing to show, everyone has their own problems, and nobody’s a ‘bad guy’ really- that we don’t know their full stories, and once we learn them- we can actually be more understanding to why they are like whatever they’re like.

Me: Th-three? Call yourself a Spider-Man fan but don’t even include these OGs?!
