#it’s strange to thing back and realise this incredibly charged scene was their introduction #no flash backs #no explanations #no descriptions #no ‘well as you know’ exposition #it’s just 2 very very subtle actors with decade of experience and a very spare very short scene #but you KNOW #you KNOW IMMEDIATELY #you know a) these two have oceans of history between them #b) they hold diametrically opposed viewpoints #c) they have probably tried to kill each other at some point #d) they retain enough loyalty to an earlier version of their friendship that they talk amiably about that fact #e) you know shits going to hit the fan as a result of their opposition but you know they cannot do otherwise #and f) they both regret it in a way #THISE SCENE GOES FOR ABOUT 25 SECONDS #you get a cast iron sense of their dynamic with no backstory AT ALL (harrietvane)
wade wilson kidnaps hugh jackman in deadpool 3 bc he’s convinced he’s actually wolverine. he spends the whole movie lugging him around but he’s literally just hugh jackman
hugh jackman does everything to prove that he’s hugh jackman. he sings, he tap dances, and he has an australian accent.
the reveal at the end of the movie is that hugh jackman isn’t wolverine, but wolverine is hugh jackman. logan went into witness protection in order to retire from being a superhero and having an alternate identity as an australian actor who started his career in musicals was basically fool proof until wade blew his cover story
Considering that Hugh Jackman exists in the Deadpool cinematic universe, this works in-canon quite well.
This is revealed, of course, when Hugh Jackman gets shot and killed just prior to the final battle, providing Deadpool with the emotional push that carries him to victory. After Deadpool finally defeats the Big Bad (somehow overcoming by himself whatever obstacle he thought he would need Wolverine for) he turns to see Hugh Jackman in the last stage of regenerating from being ‘dead’ and absolutely looses his shit about it.

i know marvel didn’t intentionally write matt murdock as a bitter crip hero but guess what they fucking did and they can just try to pry him from my cold dead hands
did they mean to write a character who is unapologetically disabled, who is so far from innocent and vulnerable and is in fact fucking furious, whose literal weapon is intrinsically tied to his disability? no but here he is, scarred and bloody and grinning
they definitely didn’t mean to write a character who became a superhero because systemic and interpersonal ableism meant he had fewer avenues for helping people in his day-to-day life, who is so fed up with being forced into this mild-mannered persona for survival that he fights dirty in secret, but GUESS WHAT
he isn’t an “overcoming disability” character. he’s living within, fighting within, being a hero from within disability, fighting specifically from a position of disability. they tried to write a supercrip, whose disability is not really a disability at all and is in fact his superpowers, but they fucked it up!! and instead, they wrote a character whose power lies in his application of his skills and knowledge and experience living in his own disabled body!! you did that marvel!! no take backs! fuck you!

Spider-Verse fanfiction idea I’ll never get around to writing:
Teacher: Congratulations, Miles. Your paper on multi-dimensional physics has attracted a TON of interest from our Science Mentorship partners. We’ve found you a really wonderful Science Mentor who’s going to be helping you prepare your Youth Science Innovators presentation this week.
Miles: Oh, wow, my parents are gonna be so proud.
Teacher: So, let me introduce you to Dr. Olivia Octavius. Thank you, doctor, for being part of this mentorship program.
Liv: It’s my pleasure, I’m just happy I can help inspire the science community of tomorrow.
Miles: … D:
Important additions:
- Liv is 100% legitimately invested in being a good Science Mentor. After all, today’s young scientists are tomorrow’s reality-warping coworkers.
- Miles’s paper was an edited version of his research on small, stable inter-dimensional portals, so he can hang out with Gwen/get multiverse help against major threats.
- Sometimes, Miles forgets to be scared or angry at Doc Ock and starts actually learning from her, except she inevitably proposes something super unethical and then unconvincingly adds “…theoretically, of course” and Miles starts planning how to counter whatever doom-bot she’s just come up with as Spider-Man.
- May Parker has been helping Miles with spider-gadgets and general science stuff after school. At some point, she and Liv have an angry shouting match over who gets science-custody of their science-nephew.
- Miles has to figure out how to turn down a very plush internship offer from Octavius at the end of the week. His parents insist he take it, he fails to come up with a good reason not to that doesn’t involve Spider-Man knowledge. His parents have Liv over for dinner, she speaks highly of their son and his bright future. The family loves her.
- When Liv eventually figures out his secret identity, she goes full punch-clock villain and keeps mentoring Miles while fighting Spider-Man’s attempts to stop her Bad Idea Science.
