Got obsessed with the dynamic of these losers

there’s lesbians covered in mud. there’s a mascot that’s 80% awesome and 20% problematic. there’s Chappell Roan over the loudspeakers. there’s legends of women’s athletics throwing the first pitch and little children watching the future unfold from the stands. there’s Springfield, Illinois. there’s misogynistic weather. there’s people in the comments section on YouTube actively explaining the rules to newbies who are interesting in the sport for the first time because it exists for them too now. there’s some rough times in the outfield. there’s stars from banana ball and little league and the olympics. there’s insane comebacks in the final inning. there’s commentators breathlessly anticipating a future full of equal access to development programs and athletic specialists. there’s a lot of wind.

{+} KRIS LETANG

i really really loved how the supergirl 2026 movie subverted the 'if you kill them ur no better then them' trope, i loved that the conflict was not that he doesnt deserve to die but rather that ruthye deserves to not have to kill him, that she is just a child and should not have to carry that burden along with everything she had already been through. i really loved how kara killing him recontextulizes her actions leading up to that moment, how it becomes clear that it was never her intention to let him live, but to keep ruthye safely away from the fight.

"Ice cold, no mistake" LOOK AT HIM he'just a baby 😭 he wanted to help Maverick but he didn't know how😭

Are you normal or you think about this specific frame at least once a day?

Lobo was actually very important to the movie as a foil to Kara in Ruthye's arc. He is not on the same level as them as a protagonist, but he needs to be established as a character early enough to give his presence some weight.

Because the real meat of his presence in the movie is his conversation with Ruthye where she says Krem killed her family for no reason, "for sport", and then Lobo calls that a reason. And then talks about how he kills for money. He's outright enthusiastic about the potential of her becoming a killer herself while Kara doesn't want that for her.

For Kara, no reason, not even revenge, is enough for Ruthye to carry the weight of taking a life, but for Lobo, who views sport or money as good enough of one no matter how superficial, revenge is definitely enough.
