just rewatched the first iron man movie and not to beat a dead horse but it's kinda mind blowing how much mcu quality has tanked since then (it's the ✨ contentification ✨)

I mean my goodness, it's a decently fast paced action movie and watching it still felt relaxing and refreshing because the shots lasted for more than 1.5 secs. Also the dialogue was subtle and very natural, the action was grounded, the color grading was crisp and purposeful and not overly saturated rainbow barf, and the one quippy character actually predominantly had moments of genuine seriousness or tension that were never undercut by cheap jokes (and the non quippy characters didn't just randomly start being quippy but actually stuck to their character traits)

It felt like watching a movie instead of an ad for upcoming mcu content

seriously worried about the declining quality in literally everything, and how impossible it is to find high quality things. plastic ass reduced for quick sale future ahead of us, its really fucking grim

food. fabric. appliances. houses. hygiene products. technology with planned obsolescence. the decline in everything is infuriating

I read daily about robustness tumblr culture and how it's impossible to monetize etc. blah blah blah

but no one ever talks about the life's blood of tumblr: GIFSETS.

Tumblr has longevity because it is the gifset website. A movie trailer drops and within an hour there are already multiple gifsets. Just there reminding us this movie is coming out it looks pretty good. A tumblr user thinks: I wish I had memory box containing every facial expression and movement made by Colin Firth in that 5 hour mini series of Pride and prejudice and some other tumblr user devotes their life to making that happen. Some dead guy has a birthday and a tumblr user gifs every single one of his dozens of films and puts them in a single gifset just because it makes fans of the dead guy happy.

Gifsets are amazing because gifsets are silent and they ask nothing but that you look at their pretty dancing images and smile fondly and click the like and reblog. A gifset didn't elect trump. A gifset didn't gaslight your grandma into believing that covid is an alien plot. A gifset just went floating by with no other thought than to look pretty and be appreciated.
