I never thought I’d be able to do any of this stuff. But, I can. Anyone can wear the mask. You could wear the mask. If you didn’t know that before, I hope you do now.
I find it so important that this movie acknowledged Peter’s fear of having children.
Like HES SPIDERMAN he doesn’t want to pull a Richard and Mary Parker on his kid. He doesn’t want to be an Uncle Ben. But when he realizes maybe he does want kids. He, and wants to feel all the emotions that come along with being a parent even if he won’t always be there for his kids is SO GOOD
He and MJ split up because MJ didn’t want to wait for something that might never come no matter how much she loved Peter, and Peter didn’t want to keep her hopes up by staying when it wasn’t something he was ready for.
He left because he loved MJ, because MJ wanted children and Peter was *terrified*
But when mentoring Miles? And the “I’m so proud of you..” it was so important.
not to sound like a curmudgeon but literally Every time i set foot in a Barnes & Nobles there are exponentially fewer books in it than the last time. and i feel like such a dupe every time because it LOOKS like a bookstore with books in it but it’s 2017 now so they only sell GAME OF THRONES FIGURINES and MEME CALENDARS and im flagging down some hapless 17 year old employee like “hey do you have this one George Eliot nov-” and he’s like hahahaha no way nope. But we have a new coffee table book about what Alexander hamiltons search history would be if he were alive to day, and also approximately 30 thousand funko pop figurines of pearl from Steven universe
“I couldn’t function,” Adrien grinds out between clenched teeth. “It was our wedding night and I couldn’t touch you without all hell breaking lose every five minutes, and it’s like they know
that Ladybug and Chat Noir were getting married and decided to wreak
havoc just to spite us. I almost couldn’t protect you… and after that I had to repeatedly tell myself that you
weren’t mine just so I could focus on the fight without going insane.” ……
At her prompting, he pulls away from her, only to bring their foreheads together. His eyes are still closed.
“Well, I am yours,” she tells him.
“And I, yours,” he answers.
“We’re married,” she adds.
“We’re married,” he sighs.
“And you can touch me. In fact, you already are.“
His
eyes open, then, and what she sees is not her laughing, gentle Adrien,
nor her playful, flirty Chat Noir. It is a combination of the two, and
she’s seen this version many times before, but never has his gaze
contained such electric ferocity of delight, worship, and starvation.
“Believe me, My Lady,” he purrs against her lips. “I haven’t quite touched you yet.”
You know, it’s almost like that was the fucking problem in the first place you stupid bastards
the absolute need for every online video platform to become just like cable tv despite the fact their success comes from not being like cable tv is just overwhelming
Netflix: Alright guys, we have a fantastic model going! Piracy is down, subscriptions are up, everyone’s making money with these contracts for your show’s streaming rights, and viewers are getting a ton of great content they enjoy. Everybody wins!
Morons: But what if we had our own streaming service just for our content?
Netflix: …I mean in-theory that would work at first, but if everyone’s content was suddenly 100% exclusive and you have to get a dozen subscriptions to a dozen proprietary streaming services just to watch three shows, that defeats a lot of the val–
Morons: And we could charge more than Netflix and Hulu too! We could make even more money!
Netflix: Well at a certain point you’re going to start charging more than people are willing to pay and you’ll start losing more money than you’ll gain. We’ve been doing this since 1997 so we have a pretty good idea of–
Morons: *create streaming sites for every single fucking studio that all charge more money than their content is worth, saturating the market with too many options, almost all of which have too little content to justify their price*
Consumers: Yeah fuck this
Morons: I knew streaming was a dead-end. It never could’ve worked
Netflix: But we were making money! It was working before you fuckers killed the goose laying golden eggs!
Morons: Yeah, but when we wanted more money, it stopped working, and we’re too good at business to make bad decisions, so clearly it was streaming itself that wasn’t working. It’s not our fault the goose couldn’t keep laying eggs after we ate it!
Netflix: What the fuck is wrong with you people
Everything is wrong with people
The free market?? Sabotaging itself??? More likely than you’d think
You know, it’s ironic that this is happening, since it was online piracy of movies and TV shows (anime especially) that led to the birth of streaming services in the first place, and now we’re coming full circle considering how everyone wants to have a streaming service themselves.
