so far, I have quotes from the russos on how they think Cap is old fashioned and needed to go, how black widow was damaged and needed to “complete herself” how tony “needs to go.” they clearly don’t care for thor or ant man, thinking them idiots. They don’t seem to respect Falcon or War machine (I wonder why) so who DO they like?
Why were they given control over a movie franchise where they hate all the characters?
Completely agree. Here are the quotes they’re referencing btw
This really freaking annoys me. If you’re in charge of a movie franchise then it is your job to embrace every character, to help them grow and overcome their differences. But no, NO! These asshats kill off every single character that they hate and are acting like complete babies just because they don’t like them. If you don’t like them so much then fuck off! Go and work on something else! Just stop ruining the MCU!!!
They both literally just hated everyone. Here is another quote I haven’t heard a lot of people mention either
this is so funny tho
Oh they hated everyone that explains why the movies are like that
On the bright side, knowing the directors actively hated half the characters they were working with leaves me feeling 0% hesitant to ignore every single bullshit character move they made! 😜
I don’t know why people do this… for example they did it with Star Trek and jj abrams…
Look, I have my differences with the LOTR movies, but you can see in every frame the sheer overwhelming love for the story that went into those movies. On genuinely every level. Every person involved with the production of those movies loved what they were doing and were working passionately, and it shows.
The disregard that leaks through parts of the MCU, two of the new Star Trek movies, and the new Star Wars trilogy really is baffling to me. So many people love these franchises and would have lovingly poured their heart and soul into them. And filmmakers who just didn’t care were handed these films?? Imagine what we could have gotten if actual fans had been allowed to make these movies.
Oh wait, I don’t have to imagine. People who love these franchises and these characters put their tiny amounts of free time and overwhelming effort into producing fanfiction and fanart for these characters every day. I could go on AO3 right now and in half a dozen clicks get sweeping, beautiful, poetic treatises on the human condition written through these ‘Verses. Vast arrays of adventures starring these characters, and the characters themselves would be lovingly adored by their writers. I could enjoy content made by people who care.
These directors and producers don’t deserve to be handed these franchises and they don’t deserve the paychecks they receive for half-assing their way through them. Not when fans produce outstanding content every day for free, just out of passion alone. This is ridiculous, can Hollywood please start putting people who actually care about the characters in charge of the movies? Please? I promise I’ll go back to buying movie tickets if I think the characters will be treated fairly by their narratives.
That explains why, despite my incredible geekiness, I’ve been meh about seeing these movies. The contempt showed.
I’m not even a fan of the mcu but I’m fucking livid right now
I don’t necessarily agree that adaptations should be in the hands of the fans but I do think, at a minimum, they should probably be in the hands of people who don’t like. actively hate them.
Do expressing these opinions in public seem a little self-defeating and a demonstration of sudden-onset pedobuccal syndrome?
Yeah, it provides an edgy quote or soundbite, but it may also be the reason why some producer
for some upcoming blockbuster
deleted a name from their list of potential directors.
Except no-one will ever know that happened.
(Of course such a quote or soundbite might guarantee a director’s employment, especially if the movie made lots of $$$. Which is how the cookie crumbles…)

Hello your blog sustains me. What are your thoughts on rockfish? Which species are the Best? Which are the Worst? How do you know?
marinebiologyshitposts answered:
Welcome, everybody, to ABSea, the host of tonight’s episode of The Beachelor: Rockfish Edition! I’m sure you already know the rules, but here’s a recap, just in case. On this show, we present you, our lucky viewer, with tonight’s catch of eligible beachelors. By the end of the show, you’ll have three choices to select from- and don’t forget to place your votes in the tags, reblogs, and comments! By the end of the day, we’ll tally them all up and present you with the winner!
Now, onto our contestants.
The Rougheye Rockfish!
Coated in his classic crimson colorscheme, the Rougheye may look generic for a rockfish. But behind this scarlet facade is one of the longest-living fish alive. That’s right- the Rougheye Rockfish was once caught at 205 years old! Like a fine wine, the older the Rougheye gets, the sweeter. He gets his name from the small spines that line his lower eyelid, but don’t let that rough exterior fool you- he’s sweet inside, but firm when it counts.
Pros: Long-lived, beautiful fashion sense
Cons: Constant dry eye
Sebastes Pachycephalus!
Pachy here is another absolutely lovely specimen of rockfish. This fish is radiant in more ways than one, however- she was once caught in Japan with about 250,000 beqcuerels of radioactive cesium per kilogram! Her last name means “wide head”, which checks out, because let’s face it- Pachy isn’t the brightest fish of the bunch. Despite this, though, Pachy is very loving. She’s warm enough to melt your heart- and with that radioactivity, maybe also a few other vital organs.
Pros: Energy efficient, and has a radiant smile!
Cons: Dense- it takes a lot to get through her thick skull.
And finally,
The Rosethorn Rockfish!
She’s adventurous- both by lifestyle and by fashion sense. Yes, this Beachelor only goes to prove the common phrase: every rosethorn has its rockfish, or whatever. She’s used to living in cracks along cave walls, so she’s hardy and adaptable! Although, someone should’ve told her stripes and spots are so last season.
Pros: Unashamed to be herself, utterly beautiful.
Cons: Her specific name, helvomaculatus, means “yellow spotted”, despite her spots being pink. Maybe she’s colorblind- or just stubborn.
Well, my fine finned folks, that’s it for tonight’s cast of eligible beachelors. Don’t forget to cast those votes in the comments, tags, and reblogs- we’ll catch you all back up with the winner later tonight. Until next time, this has been- the Beachelor!
Alright, everyone. You’ve been casting your votes faithfully, and I’m here to keep you all caught up. That’s right- the voting is over! Thank you to everyone who participated in tonight’s episode, and if you didn’t get the chance, next time might be your lucky day. But as for tonight’s episode- drumroll please- our winner of the Beachelor, with nineteen votes, is
That’s right, Rosie! Congratulations on the win- you deserved it. Never let anyone tell you how to live your life, cave-dwelling or otherwise. I think we could all learn a little lesson about being ourselves from Rosie here- it’s no wonder she won over the hearts of our voters! Living under a rock or not, she’s shown us a new side of herself, and our viewers absolutely ate it up.
To our other contestants, the regal Rougheye and the Beqcuerel-bearing Pachycephalus, we wish you fishes better luck next time! Well, my fine finned folks, that’s the end of tonight’s show! We hope you’ll join us again on the next episode of- the Beachelor!
