scarlet johannson did not spend an entire decade fighting tooth and nail to make natasha into an actual character instead of the sex object writers wanted her to be while also having to endure the most vile, misogynistic questions during press tours for people to now disrespect her legacy because yelena is 'better'. the only reason why that is, is because of everything scarlet went through. natasha singlehandedly paved the way for every other female superhero in the mcu and don't you forget that

I just wanna talk about that whole plaguis thing again.
Now, what I HAVE seen some people discuss is that the mystery planet where Qimir lives is actually the same unknown planet where Luke buggers off to in ep 8 to die in exile. The origin for all the jedi, etc.
What I HAVEN'T seen discussion about is how the shot with Plagueis looks a LOT like the sequence from ep. 8 with Luke telling Rey that the jedi need to end.
First, you have the inside shot from the crevice. inside, looking out. the shapes of the rocks seem pretty similar to me anyway. plagueis's claw-hands come creeping out.
then, you've got the outside looking in shot, where we see Plagueis's face. looking out at the one thing (Osha) that not only spells his eternal future, but also the end of jedi (since a. Osha directly turns against the jedi and b. the whole vergance thing would allow him to rise to power in opposition to the jedi eternally). The quest for that power would almost destroy the jedi through palpatine and vader, you know?
idk. something about the fall of the jedi beginning in that shot with Plagueis's first glimpse at hope for immortality and the end of the Jedi juxtaposed with Luke eventually ending up framed in almost the same way, wishing the jedi would just end. . . it seems intentional to me.
maybe it's just random brain sauce, but I think there could be something significant there. I don't think i'm capable of fluent literary analysis though so I probably didn't explain it well.
my biggest issue with the httyd live action-and just about any live action reboot is that it seems that the live action adaptations are being made to make the original “better”? like, so many people talk about a live action spiderverse, a live action hercules, a live action PRINCE OF EGYPT (dont piss me OFF.)-like animation is a beautiful work of art, and for some reason putting real people and cgi in it is supposed to be an “upgrade”? im probably being that friend that’s too woke or whatever, but i just think it’s so disrespectful to act like something that takes so much time and effort and energy is immediately considered as lower because it is animated. animation is beautiful, and it is one of the most heartfelt art forms there are, and erasing that for the sake of a cash grab is downright degrading to animation as a medium.
making bucky a politician is one of the most insane choices the MCU has ever made but you know what. sure. i'm here for it

Before there was Moo Deng, there was William.
This little blue hippopotamus, known affectionately as William, has been a fan favorite at The Metropolitan Museum of Art for over a century. Dating back to Egypt’s Middle Kingdom (c. 1961–1878 BCE), William was likely placed in tombs to offer protection in the afterlife.
His bright faience glaze and lotus decorations connect him to the Nile’s waters—but don’t let his charm fool you! Ancient Egyptians knew that hippos were both revered and feared, making William a powerful symbol. He epitomizes the Egyptian craftsmanship of the era.
Take a closer look at William on JSTOR.
