Missed opportunity that Sam isn't busy fangirling over Jack the ripper, serial killer enthusiast so he is.
WTF

Okay, I wasn't going to live blog this because it's easier with a laptop and I just have mobile right now, but now's as good a time as any to say hey, I'm back for the season. I'll be tagging these with #spn 15x02 if you want to miss these posts.
But okay seriously I know I missed a lot, but why does everyone want to bang Ketch.

me: movies are a subjective experience too! people see things differently according to their individual prisms of experience! what’s speaks to you may not speak to others and that’s part of the beauty of movies as a personal experience!

I couldn’t rest until I made my vision a reality, we don’t have enough content of luke being a badass
The Clone Wars lean really heavily into classical fencing, so I always get surprised at how differently Luke fights with a light sabre. If you actually watch his footwork and his body he’s very brutal about it. Less grace and more power. It’s such a beautiful contrast, whether it was intentional or not.
Which is to say: good fucking post OP.
So I finally finished the season for AOS. I am SO glad it's coming back. I have to admit I cried along with Mack. Iain did such an amazing job. Do we know if he's coming back? It just wouldn't be the same without him.
We have confirmation from his agency that he’s coming back next season. There are way too many fans who consider his loss a deal-breaker to watching the show, and they’ve had experience with shows losing cast getting stuck in poor performance spirals. Iain is a gem and too good for them to lose. The bright spot about a full year until the show comes back is that maybe just maybe he can do another project like this past year and we’ll get a movie or something with him in it.
When the show does come back, we’ll only get a half order of episodes. AOS does a LOT with a little, packing three full plot arcs into a regular full season, so I’m not worried that we won’t get something satisfying, but I don’t see them taking a lot of time to get Fitz 2.0 out of space. It certainly won’t be (and better not be!) a full four episodes out of our small collection of thirteen to get him back. I suspect we’ll open with some visual indicators of time having passed, a weary team hoping this is the planet he’s hiding behind, a mission to get him back just seconds from deployment, and then perhaps we’ll have some fun and we might not get him back until the end of episode 1. My hope is that we get him back very early in episode 1, but there’s some other complication to it all.
I had some issues with Fitz’ death in the last episode, narrationally. It didn’t seem to be out of character for either him or May to go in after Mack -- in every timeline, they have the same information, they know that Polly and Mack die at this point, so of course they’d go in after them. So what made this moment different? Are we supposed to believe that going in was a big audacious decision for Fitz or May to make (as Fitz says in an earlier episode that they need to make more bold choices)? I can’t imagine it would be. They didn’t even put any thought into making it -- it basically wasn’t a choice at all.
And Fitz’ death was an accident of where he was standing when Daisy and Talbot crashed to the ground. An accident. For this reason, a lot of people are saying that TPTB killed him off so they could close the loophole with Fitz in space. Honestly, I think a lot of people would have just been okay with a handwave in that direction over what they actually did. This leads to the other fan rationalization -- that they didn’t bother resolving any of the tension between Fitz and other characters because they were planning to just kill this one off anyway. On one hand, that means they might be able to resolve some things with the new Fitz; on the other, dead Fitz was a life and deserved to not have his final moments be spent knowing he was still at odds with so many people he cared about.
I try to remember that for his death to have any meaning, there has to be loss associated with it. If he died and everything went back the way it was, there was no value in his life and no impact of his death. The fact that we are losing a wedding, a jump from a plane together, “we have a rule,” and so many other amazing moments -- it’s a good thing, whether I like it or not. It means it mattered.
Now if I had my way, I would have done this differently. I would have conjured a situation in which someone had to sacrifice themselves in order to get the job done. They talked about it all season, sacrificing right and left, or coming up with solutions that could ONLY be done via sacrifice, and each time, they’ve skirted the issue. In the finale, I would have had the solution be a sacrifice they couldn’t avoid, so Fitz takes Jemma aside and has a heart to heart with her in which he says that she won’t be able to change his mind on this, and it’s got to be him. He’s done things he can’t come to terms with, things he still feels were right, and he needs to do this, but it’s okay. I’m out there waiting for you to come and get me. And then he thrusts a slip of paper into her hand, the location of his ship where he lies waiting with Enoch for Jemma to come and get him. And then he chooses to die for the greater good, to save everyone, and it’s not a fucking rocks fall everyone dies accident, and it IS the audacious, ambitious choice that they never made before, to stop trying to get out without losses and accept that the right decisions sometimes do require a terrible cost. Everyone learns, everyone loses, and they are all armed with these lessons about choice and also about Fitz himself, so that when they see him again, they can all work toward understanding together. Because it’s been made clear they don’t really understand him at all, but now they have a second chance.
Anyway, that’s what I would have done.

It becomes a pattern in the aftermath.
Bruce has set up a makeshift lab in Wakanda, while the world takes stock of their dead and Wakanda mourns for their king. Bruce isn’t doing anything important, but he needs to do something, so he studies Wakanda’s vibranium supply and attempts to keep Shuri busy.
Otherwise, the grief might just be too much for the both of them to bear.
Bruce also tries very hard not to think about Tony and what form of matter Tony may or may not be at this very moment. He’s only moderately successful.
It’s on the third day of the second week after half of the world has turned to ash that Thor brings Bruce a little green snake. Bruce is baffled, but he tried to be polite about it. Bruce is heartsick, though, so that makes everything a little harder.
Then Thor asks for Bruce to see if the snake is Loki, and it takes every bit of willpower Bruce Banner poses to not burst into tears. Thor is so strong and so keen to smile, he makes it so easy for everyone to forget that he has lost nearly everything.
Bruce pokes at the snake without any further complaints. When nothing happens, the grief on Thor’s face is unimaginable.
Bruce begins spending time with both Thor and Shuri, in a desperate attempt to combat his own grief by combatting theirs.
All the while, every second or third day, Thor brings Bruce a small green animal and asks Bruce to see if it his lost brother. Bruce checks every time, with care and precision, but the result is always negative. It’s awful for both of them, but Thor can’t seem to stop and Bruce doesn’t know how to make him.
This pattern holds for a few weeks, until Thor brings Bruce a beaten and battered lizard. It’d been burned somehow and it looked like one of its limbs had been badly broken. When Thor presents it to him, Bruce honestly isn’t sure if Thor had just brought the little thing to Bruce to see if it could be saved.
“Could you check?” Thor asks, the question quiet and hurt after so many weeks of negative results from Bruce’s prodding and poking.
“Of course,” Bruce says softly, adding his portion of the call and response.
He gingerly picks up the lizard, as the poor also looks like he’d been through the wringer, and gives him a quick once over. Bruce’d been right about the broken leg and the burns were pretty –
The lizard fucking turns into Loki. A damaged, burnt Loki who scuttles backward on a broken leg while spitting blood.
Thor bursts into tears. Bruce bursts out laughing. Everyone has their own way of processing grief and shock and grief turned into shock, apparently.
It’s later, when they’ve gotten Loki a little patched up, convinced Okoye not to kill Loki (”He tried to destroy the world!” she says – “He’s gotten better,” Bruce says), and Thor’s eyes were mostly dry, that Loki finally says through clenched, bloodied teeth:
“They’re in a pocket dimension.”
“Who?” Bruce whispers, stunned.
“Everyone. I told him he’d never be a god. He was just a warlord playing at being something powerful. He should’ve fucking listened.”

Jolene (33 R.P.M) - click for .mp3
Unsure where this came from, if not the palsied hands of the good Lord himself.
Simple premise: Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” slipped from 45 to 33 rpm. Nothing more; no studio trickery, no trip hop drum breaks. The guitar lopes back in and around itself. The bass becomes elastic, hot rubber. The violin stabs become sustained cello lines. The backing choir’s split harmony rattles around, slinking ghostly into the corner. And most importantly, Parton’s once-frantic vocal is transformed from bubblegum country scrawl into something approximating field holler reverence.
An already perfect song made transcendental..
Well, this changes everything.

The Avengers (2012)
part of the reason i love this scene is that it really shows us one of tony’s qualities that is often forgotten about, which is like… you can say that tony is arrogant all you want (which like, he’s super insecure and the arrogance is nothing more than a very thin shield), but tony is near constantly trying to see things from other people’s perspectives.
he stood in front of these screens, he looked at them, and his VERY FIRST thought was… but if i was looking out of nick’s eye, i wouldn’t be able to see all these. how does that work? why is this set of screens organised like this, when nick only has one eye? why aren’t they all visible from a one-eyed perspective? the whole point of a set-up like this is that you can survey everything at once, without turning, and it’s been made for someone with two eyes, not one.
and i know he responds with like, a snappy little line so he can keep playing up the playboy philanthropist deal, but whenever tony looks at anything, he really does try to look at it from the perspectives of others so that he can genuinely understand where they’re coming from, and that takes great perception and genuine empathy.
whenever tony disagrees with somebody, whether it’s someone like stane who is acting out of greed, or someone like steve who is acting out of duty and honour, he is never going to just brush their opinions off.
he is going to try to understand those opinions and see stuff from the other side’s perspective - and this is all as a result of tony’s desperate struggle with being held accountable for his actions, something he considers to be super, super important.
and what hurts tony most of all isn’t when somebody disagrees with him, but when it’s very obvious that they’re not making the same effort he is to see things from both sides.
