Vanzetti was here

They see Carol finally breaking free from being gaslighted by the Kree as “emotionally underwhelming,” never realizing that a climactic, emotional showdown with her abuser would be giving him exactly what he wants. Being in control of her emotions? Choosing not to react to a provocation? That’s strength most male comic fans don’t understand. They see masculine-coded strength as the only valid kind. Carol not being angry and putting Yon-Rogg down in a shonen-esque battle doesn’t make sense to them because it’s not what they would have done.

They see a woman struggling to work through lies she’d been told as “bad narrative structure,” when in reality the movie was never about building Carol up from nothing, but about her realizing her true potential through seeing past those lies. Carol’s character arc parallels many women attaining social consciousness, throwing off patriarchal lies they’d been conditioned to accept about who they are and what they can do. Her story isn’t about attaining power, but about embracing her true potential that had been deliberately hidden from her.

They see Carol’s emotions not lining up with the lies her abusers told her about being too emotional as “bad writing” or “bad acting,” never realizing that that was exactly the point. They only understand defiance as impassioned, outward battles of will and pride, not understanding that quiet, steadfast refusal to bend to others’ designs of who you should be is strength too.

So I usually upload all of my vids directly to Tumblr, but for this one it was literally impossible. It’s too big. I made a Star Wars vid using footage from every single movie and it’s 6 minutes long and over 400MB. So here it is on Youtube.

Captain America: So you turned them off and kicked his ass anyway?

Captain Marvel: No lol what the fuck I’m not a dumbass, I just shot him. Who the fuck would listen to a villain trying to do his best to win a fight?

In the greater scheme or the big picture nothing we do matters. There’s no grand plan, no big win.

John in Lawrence looking sadly on his wedding band, saying how much he wants to see Sam and Dean

John seeing both of his sons for the first time in a while with tears in his eyes and a smile on his face.

I’m sorry to the haters, but John may have messed up a lot of times, but he also saved his sons by training them in the life. He knew something was up with Sam and didn’t burden Dean with it until he realized he couldn’t do anything about it.

Why didn’t he entrust some other hunter?

Another hunter wouldn’t have given Sam the chance Dean would undoubtedly always give Sam. So yeah, it was messed up, but you know what? He did do his best. And some may say his best is not good enough, but *shrugs* His best made sure his kids were alive. His best made sure that Dean wanted nothing more than to save Sam. His best made sure both of his boys were strong, capable and heroes.

So I’m sorry you don’t see it, but in my house we appreciate a father who tries his best, even though he messes up too.

But he was the first person in the show who managed to overcome a possession - all because of Dean.

He loved his sons to death and his moral compass was actually pretty strong. He was hell bent on revenge but he also took on the task of saving lives, let’s not forget he’s been doing that for a long time, he was in the army.
