Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
Leon in the original Resident evil games is fucking annoying. (Especially in RE:4) Like oh my god- shutthefuckupfortwoseconds, you action hero cardboard cutout with the clunkiest dialogue ever, fuck-!
I actually like his character in the remakes, though. His humor and one-liners feel far less grating to me in the remakes.
I know people like to rag on him because Resident Evil has trouble depicting trauma and stuff, but honestly, I prefer the writing in the remakes.
Leon in the original feels way more like the 'edgy emo' that people like to claim remake!Leon feels like imo. The constant action hero lines in the original RE:4 feel super tacky and take me out of the game a lot. (Especially the 'sing kumbaya' one at the very beginning, that one felt really awkward and clunky as hell.)
I think I'm already tired of the 'all of one character groups into a collective of multiverse heroes' trope. Or whatever you want to call it.
I just tried to watch 'My adventures with Superman' and I was mentally checked out the entire seventh episode as soon as we found out about the 'league of Lois'.
Honestly, that trope is so dumb. I'm not the only one who thinks that, right?
Watched both the FNAF movie and Blood and Honey 2, and you know what? ...I feel like these movies should've traded tones.
When you hear a 'Winnie the Pooh horror movie', I personally think 'Oh that's silly', so the tone of the FNAF movie would've probably been more appropriate. So, it's horror, but it's silly horror, like the modern IT movie (Chapter 1) with the weird nonsensical 'cleaning up the bathroom' scene. It also would've helped a lot of the goofier dialogue jokes they tried to make. (The whole 'Let's Bounce' thing, for instance.)
Meanwhile, FNAF is a horror franchise at it's core about children being lured away, murdered, then stuffed into suits where they rotted until they possessed them. ...That deserves a way, way more dark tone than we got in the FNAF movie imo.
Either way, I can confidently say that Blood and Honey 2 stole its plot from the FNAF movie, but despite that, I had more fun watching Blood and Honey 2 than I did watching the FNAF movie. The only parts I actually really had fun with the FNAF movie on were the cameos, tbh, which is definitely a bad sign. (Like another series I know, if the thing you enjoy about it is the references to the original source material, then it's not a good addition to the franchise.)
I know why FNAF is sillier, because the franchise for some reason is trying to appeal to kids, now, but still. You can make horror for kids that's kid-friendly while still being scary and interesting, guys, come on.
You know... it's funny that the movie that has a more accurate wolverine costume ends up being the most box office breaking, huh?
It's almost like... I don't know, maybe you should have people who actually know the original source material working on movies involving comic characters? Unlike some people I know?
Please Reblog, I wanna see what most people's general consensus is. Jukebox musicals, for reference, are musicals that include already-existing songs, rather than original ones. (The Book Of Life and Moulin Rouge for example.)
The 'Loki Series' is to Loki what 'Allstars Batman and Robin the boy wonder' is to Batman.
While both grossly misinterpret the characters they're using, pull stupid unnecessary fanservice, take leaps in logic, have very little consistency, romanticize abuse, and blatantly spit in the faces of the original characters, at least Batman doesn't have an incest relationship in the Allstars comics.
Either way, both of them sound like they were written by edgelords.
Gotta love how when the third episode of Helluva boss came out, people for some reason just started taking the Chrub's word as 'gospel' (ha).
The cherubs said 'Yeah no, there's no way to get back into heaven, sorry' and people immediately decided 'oh, I guess they're correct!'
As if the whole point of Charlie's story isn't to prove that Heaven is incorrect about that.
Apparently, characters in a story are unable to lie or be wrong about something anymore.
I watched the first season of Hazbin Hotel and gave myself a few days to let it simmer in my head, and now I have thoughts.
(Note: I don't count anything Vivs has said on podcasts and livestreams as being canon, only what shows up in Hazbin/Helluva is canon to me, so please don't try to 'gotcha' me with anything from a ten-year-old livestream or something, lol.)
The opening scene mentioned that Adam and Lilith were equals and that Lilith left after Adam tried and failed to control her, right?
Well, as someone who was raised Christian, I'm assuming that might be a misdirect, given the bible's version of those events actually meshes a bit better with the vibes I'm getting from the story so far.
You see, in the bible, it's actually mentioned that god created Lilith to serve Adam, not that they were made as equals. God created Adam first, then Adam grew lonely and god created Lilith to be subservient to him. However, Lilith proved too independent and was replaced by Eve - who was literally 'made' more subservient due to being created through one of Adam's rib bones. (Side note: Adam eating ribs in the show is hilarious.) After Eve's creation, Lilith was basically kicked out of paradise and became a demon.
Now, I'm not saying that the story will/should make it exactly that, or that I expect it to be 'more accurate'. What I am saying is, I think at some point, we might end up getting a 'hey, god's a douche actually and enabled Adam like an entitled child and that's why he's such an asshole' angle to the story.
I think this fits mainly because there seems to be a 'heaven isn't all it's cracked up to be' vibe, as well as the fact that from what I've seen, the older testaments are the versions Viv is using mainly for inspiration and the older testaments, if you know anything about them, tend not to characterize god as being the most... 'merciful' sometimes. (Turning people into salt pillars, drowning the entire world, asking Abraham to sacrifice his son on a mountaintop, etc.)
With that in mind, I also feel like Adam's probably gonna come back. Not as an Angel, but as a demon. At the end of the last episode, we saw Sir Pentious return to life redeemed and in heaven, so it only makes sense in my mind that if it works one way, it must work the other way around, too.
I feel like it'd be a pretty cool plotline if Adam got pulled into Charlie's Hazbin Hotel to try getting redeemed only to end up actually becoming a better person through it. With Adam's redemption becoming a way for Charlie to prove she was right definitively to heaven and maybe having a narrative timer since Adam technically counts as a sinner and would likely be targeted by the exterminators, who would have no reason to believe this 'sinner' claiming to be Adam was actually the real Adam.
Forgive me if there's something in the comics that makes these opinions obsolete or something, I haven't read all Marvel comics, but-
I think it's ridiculous that the MCU made Asgardians aliens rather than actual gods. Especially given that they made Egyptian gods canon later with Moon Knight.
First of all, if you're gonna make some of them gods, why not make all of them gods? That doesn't make sense? Second, someone pointed this out in a post I saw some time ago, but based on the timeline and the canon ages of the characters, it makes no sense. According to that 'canon' timeline, Loki would've been a child during the time the Norse would've known about them to create stories, which doesn't align at all. So even without the Egyptian gods, it makes no sense.
Yeah, yeah, I get it, the 'Eternals' and shit, but like-... really? Maybe I'm biased just because I know the original runs had the Asgardians as actual gods with immortality and everything, but that makes far more sense to me then the MCU handles it. I'm just saying.
I could go on multiple tangents about stuff in the MCU, especially about stuff after Phase 3, but honestly, I would really rather pretend Phase 4+ doesn't exist and just keep my imperfect, but still fun, Phases three and below (Minus Ragnarok).
Honestly, I figured. I swear to god, I've only seen it on a single 'totally legal website', and even then, it was recorded with commercials attached.
I don't know whether to say 'don't watch it', or to say 'it's worth watching just because of how bizarre it is'.
Basically, if you're curious: It's Pokemon, except instead of commanding little monsters in Pokeballs, it's ten-year-olds commanding the Marvel superheroes in discs. It's... it's so stupid.
'Spiderman, I choose you!' type shit. The writing is even Digimon-esq, heck-
(Please reblog, I'm genuinely curious about the majority option here.)
(Please reblog, I'm genuinely curious about the majority option here.)
Since I realized these two characters have a lot in common, actually.
(All images, aside from the one on the top right are from google/stock images. The top right one is from Thor: Dark World, and the bottom left is a photo of a sculpture in a Pokemon center in japan.)
I reserve the right to headcanon that marijuana isn't that uncommon in Asgard and nobody can take that away from me. (I also feel like they'd be more partial to eating or drinking it rather than smoking it, but that's just me.)
I mean, with how liberal they seem to be with alcohol, I genuinely don't see how they wouldn't at least try other substances.
Not like that would necessarily even be a result of mortal influence from their visits to Midgard, either. They'd probably discover that kind of thing and enjoy it just on their own merit.
When I watched Zootopia the first time, I honestly thought it was going in the direction of the savages being animals who contracted rabies. Especially after seeing the scene with Manchas, I thought: 'Oh, Emmit scratched him, and because of that, he contracted rabies from him.'
...So, what I'm saying is: The actual plot of the movie was disappointing, tbh.
People assuming the predators were going savage only to figure out it's not the predators at all, but a virus that makes you super aggressive and violent? That just sounds interesting. Discounting entirely the sucky 'twist villain' thing. Making the movie have no real villain other than the discovery of a crazed viral outbreak?
...Maybe that's just the zombie fanatic in me talking, but I honestly think that would've made for a way more interesting movie.
I think it's kind of sad that I can't bring myself to care about new stuff in the MCU anymore.
It's not about superhero-fatigue or whatever other things people are suggesting may be the cause, though. I feel like the reason I and many other people are starting to overlook new stuff and not care is because the people making those movies and stuff basically just... stopped caring about it themselves.
They stopped really putting effort into it, and it shows. There are a couple of outliers, like Moon Knight, but for every Moon Knight that comes out, there are three Loki series, or Mobius movies. Y'know?
It's become less and less rewarding and less and less fun to watch. Just cash-grabs, rather than actual stories with substance.
And I feel like this is easy to notice when you think about how Invincible and The Boys is super popular despite the idea of 'Superhero fatigue'. The difference between DC/Marvel and The Boys/Invincible? (Besides the violence, obviously.) is that 'The Boys' and 'Invincible' actually have time, effort, and love put into them. While the DCEU and the MCU are both basically being milked to death by the same people who tried to copyright 'Día de los Muertos' after they made the movie Coco.
...But hey, at least we still have the MCU before Ragnarok (+Black Panther) to enjoy, right? We also have all the animated DC and Marvel content, as well as all the comics.
No doubt, one of my favorite things about ‘The Boy (2016)’ was how much of it was left up to your imagination and interpretation. (Death of the author, ofc. Only keeping the movie itself in mind.)
We got almost no concrete proof for anything the movie tells us about Brahms’ backstory, and what we do know can lead to multiple conclusions about the character.
The whole ‘he killed Emily’ thing, for instance. This is something we’re told by Malcom, who prefaces what he says by directly mentioning that this is town gossip. Which is untrue or, at best, only half-true. (Take it from someone who’s lived in a small town and had gossip and rumors spread about me and my loved ones, they’re usually spread with very little of the original context and, usually, turns into ‘I think this happened’ instead of facts, or ends up being a giant game of telephone... or both.) We get a picture of a girl, showing that there was, in fact, an ‘Emily’ that Brahms knew, but other than that, we get nothing.
For all we know, Emily could’ve fell and hit her head on a rock, and people started blaming Brahms for it. There’s no concrete evidence proving it either way, and I love it.
We don’t even know that much about Brahms, really. He’s a craftsman (As seen in the ending scene.), he makes traps (The rat traps everywhere with his initials.), he can make a sandwich, he enjoys having a set schedule, and he can’t live by himself (At least, as far as we know.). ...That’s really all we know besides him being forced into the walls by his parents and being twenty-eight in the film. We also hear that he was apparently ‘Odd’, which, considering his clearly snooty-ish upbringing, could mean a lot of things.
Why is he acting like a kid? It could be a manipulation tactic, it could be a sign of mental illness, or it could be a coping mechanism. Again, it's up to your interpretation.
Personally, I see all this and think: "He’s a traumatized man who’s possibly autistic (Schedule, traps may be a special interest, can’t properly live by himself, etc.), falsely rumored to have murdered his one friend, burned in a fire set by his (possibly ableist) parents, and was gaslit and manipulated into thinking Emily’s death really was his fault."
But that’s just how I see it, of course. I imagine there could be many ways someone could interpret the film. (For instance, my sister watched it and came out the other side with: ‘he’s guilty, creepy, and severely in need of psychological help’.) and that’s great, I love it!
I wish more ‘horror-ish’ movies did this. Most present horror is jump scares and gore with little to no substance, and while I enjoy a bit of gore here and there, it can be pretty tiring. (Aka: Why I loved ‘The Collector’ but disliked its sequel ‘The Collection’, lol.)
I’m mostly going off of vibe here. (Note: By ‘Supernatural’ I mean things like ghosts.) Characters who believe in the Supernatural: Loki, Thor, Everyone on Asgard, Peter Parker, Gamora, Hulk, Bucky, T’challa, Scott, Wanda, Marc Spector, Steven Grant, Jake Lockley, Groot, Mantis, Darcy Lewis, Drax, Ned Leeds, Eddie Brock, Wade Wilson, Wong
Characters who are undecided on the Supernatural: Vision, Bruce Banner, Steve, Natasha, Clint, Pietro, Rocket, Sam Wilson, James Rhodes, Carol Danvers, Nick Fury, Jane Foster, Phil Coulson, Yelena, MJ, Venom, Stephen Strange
Characters who don’t believe in the Supernatural: Tony Stark, Hank Pym, Peter Quill, Nebula, Peggy Carter, Shuri?,

Not sure if these were already gifs here or not, but hey, they are now. I’ve never uploaded/made fan-gifs for this site before either, so if I did something wrong, please let me know, oops.
That entire scene involving Loki’s clothes being lasered off in the Loki show made me very uncomfortable when I first watched it.
I mean, maybe I’m just sensitive, but, I’m sorry- fanservice-y bullshit like that is just really creepy imo. (I mean, it’s why I don’t watch most modern anime.) Mostly because it’s usually far from consensual, especially in this case.
I mean, maybe if he decided to react a bit coyly to it, or something else, it would’ve been fine. (More so comedic and lightened the mood a lot more. Even then it still would’ve been weird and on top of that, ooc.) but with how he reacts to it in the actual show, it just felt wrong.
In the few seconds you got his reaction, that tremble in his voice especially, it just made it feel gross. Like I personally was intruding on his boundaries.
This coming from someone who’s attracted to him btw, so obviously, the target demographic for said moment. Yet I still found that it was wildly uncomfortable.
I dunno, I just wanted to put this opinion out there because I didn’t see a lot of people mentioning this when they talk about how bad the show was. Honestly, this moment was one of the biggest red flags for me.
Personally speaking, I see Scarecrow as being a medicinal user of marijuana. He’s definitely not the ‘giggly pothead’ type. Not a Shaggy Rogers, if you will. But I can see him using it every so often for medicinal reasons.
This also aligns with headcanons involving him having autism and anxiety, both of which I subscribe to. Anxiety and Autism both being things marijuana is used for.
However, what people should be talking about is whether Marvel’s Thor or Loki would be. With how Asgard is in regards to alcohol, you can’t say they would be opposed to indulgence in other substances.
So, really, they must’ve at least tried it once-
I’m not the only one who thinks Loki would have a massive scar at the very least after what happened in TDW, right?
I mean, I know he has healing magic and a healing factor, but I still think there should be at least a...mark???
I dunno, after watching TDW, I can’t imagine him without at least a scar. (Maybe he could heal somewhat with his magic, but it couldn’t heal him completely so it leaves one on the front of his torso?)
AU idea: (Android-Loki AU by myself, lol. Though I’m sure someone else must’ve thought of this, haha.)
Possible trigger warnings?: Parental neglect? I mean, it’s Loki, he’s the poster child of parental abuse/neglect. Brief mention of a mortal kombat fatality-style death.
Full idea below:
We’ll call this Loki...Lodroid? Just for the sake of simplicity. (I might come up with a better name later.)
In this timeline, Lodroid was made as a ‘companion’ and ‘protector’ of sorts for Thor, as he was an only child in this universe. Everyone but Thor and Lodroid knew about it, but Odin made it an unspoken law to never mention it to either of them.
Lodroid was programmed with a ‘self-awareness protocol’ that basically forces him to avoid any thought or idea that he’s robotic. So, his mind forces him to avoid the thought subconsciously, which would be overridden by any physical proof that this is the case. (Thus why nobody is allowed to mention it.) Lodroid is also pre-programmed to see Thor as his brother and Frigga/Odin as his parents.
‘Magic’ infused within Lodroid’s body made him capable of magic on his own, as well as casting a disguise over his robotic body to make him seem organic. (Like how he was cast over to not look like a Jotun in the OG universe.) His robotics also made specifically to seem as ‘asgardian’ as possible. (Ie: He can eat and drink, which is turned into fuel to power him, he needs sleep, he feels pain, he feels emotion, etc.)
For many years, he ‘grew up’ alongside his brother Thor, Odin, and Frigga. (Odin still neglected him, he was still ignored and basically bullied by the other Asgardians, etc. Frigga still was kind to him though, still seeing him as her son, even if he was artificial, as she knows that he still has emotions and thoughts.)
So, it basically remains pretty similar up until the events of ‘Thor’. When they end up in Jotunheim. Here, Lodroid’s arm is grabbed by the Jotun, but instead of turning blue, his skin starts to crumble like it does for everyone else. Lodroid panicked and in pain, lashes out. Remember when I said he was a ‘protector’ as well as companion? He was outfitted with weaponry, which only activated here, when both brothers were in critical danger. Lodroid’s palm fires a blast of highly concentrated energy, which basically fires right through the Jotun (Fatality, Loki wins)
Of course, this wasn’t normal magic, Lodroid was well-aware of that as soon as he realized what happened. But if not his usual magic, what was it?
Thor gets sent to earth, and Lodroid goes mad trying to figure out what it was. Then, it clicks. He finds the beam matched that of the destroyer's almost exactly. Lodroid figures out that there’s an enchantment cloaking him and while standing in front of a mirror, uses his own magic to override the illusion. Only to be met with a terrible sight.
Lodroid is met with mechanics, metal, and two green, glowing camera shutter optical lenses. (I imagine it looks similar to a mixture of C-3PO and a terminator.) And now he can see it: ‘Self awareness protocols disengaged’... ‘System procedures visible’... ‘Information overload in progress’... ‘Emotional levels reaching critical’... ‘Systems crashing’... ‘Oxygen levels compromised’...
This is the point he’s found by Odin, who finds him staring at his uncloaked appearance in the mirror. ‘Meltdown in progress’. However in this version of events, due to his not actually being organic, he’s disallowed the throne by default as he’s not recognized as Odin’s ‘real son’. (”Was I just some toy for Thor to play with until he grows bored of me?! What would you have done had you no use of me, would you have thrown me into a scrapyard?!”)
Frigga tries to get him to calm down, oh how she tries. But Lodroid, unable to access the destroyer’s might, is basically forced to confront Thor on his own. Thor doesn’t recognize him at first, as he’s still uncloaked here, but Sif and the warriors definitely do. It’s a shock to the senses for Thor, who up until now was also in the dark about it. Sif and the others are convinced that Lodroid is irreversibly off the deep-end, Sif even mentioning in passing that she ‘saw this coming a long time ago.’ (Insert Darcy making a robocop or terminator joke, you choose, lol.)
The fight is way more emotional than you might think it is at first. Lodroid and Thor basically ending in a tie as Thor basically tells Lodroid that regardless of what secrets may be hiding, that he’ll always be his brother. (He deserves a semi-happy conclusion to this, you can’t tell me otherwise.) Big difference in this timeline: Lodroid doesn’t go back to Asgard. He says he will once they try making the trip home (with some side eyes from Sif and the others.) but when they arrive in Asgard from the bifrost, he’s not there.
Nope, Lodroid left sneakily. He’s off to try and figure out what to do next after this huge revelation/identity crisis. But that doesn’t mean he won’t end up appearing for ‘The Avengers’. Thor is kind of bummed out, because he can’t find his brother, but hey, at least he can visit his girlfriend here instead of just disappearing, eh?
This post is getting long so I’ll leave this here for now. If people like it enough I might make a sequel for ‘The Avengers’. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

A friend and I were talking about crack headcanons and shit, and one of them just-
“Scarecrow is secretly a pro at freestyle rap and can do it incredibly fast.” “There’s definitely been a point in time where Joker got styled on by his rap skills in a hilarious fashion.”
And now, days later, I still can’t stop thinking about it-
Thor, approaching the massive fortress of ice Loki constructed, followed by a small army: Brother! I am here to reclaim my place next to you! As we used to have in the old days!
Loki, addressing the Jotuns with him: Hold your fire, boys.
Thor: Tell your men to lower their weapons, I mean you no harm!
Loki, shouting: Thor, put your hands up so I know which one is you!
*Thor puts his hands up*
Loki, turning to one of the Jotuns: Kill the one with his hands up.
