I mean batman being the dramatic type is nice, but honestly i think gotham is just Like That™
He’ll be standing on a gargoyle because it just happens to be the best vantage point of everything, minding his own buisness and as soon as a somber thought creeps up in his mind there’s a fucking thundercrack and it starts pouring out of nowhere and everytime it happens bruce is just like “fuck yes, i love this city”
Superman: Why does Gotham have so many gargoyles
Batman: huh, hadn’t noticed, does Metropolis not have gargoyles?
Flash: Central City has exactly 4 gargoyles
Superman:…
Batman:…
Flash: Sometimes I get bored, run through town, and count things
Flash: did you know there are exactly 168 public water fountains in Central city?
Batman: exactly how much free time do you have
Flash: I had about a minute of free time the other day, why?
the fact that Loki’s death scene in Thor 2 was originally intended to be real & retconned later and the end where he’s alive was filmed during pickups has me SO fucked up because now I can’t choose between which headcanon I prefer re: his behavior in Ragnarok. like listen, okay, either:
1. loki was planning on playing dead the whole time and so his very sad death scene & everything he said therein was a calculated move and he was practically writing the theatrical version of it (starring matt damon as himself) as he went along
OR
2. loki really thought he was dying and every melodramatic word of his death scene was 100% heartfelt and then after he realized he wasn’t dead he fucking… woke up peaced out to go take over asgard (lol?) and several months later he was sitting on the throne and could remember every word of what he said to thor on that day and was like “wow im so fucking poetic. that should be a play. starring matt damon as Me perhaps”
it cracks me up how fandom still sometimes mistakes han solo for like…. a cool bad boy, but literally everyone in the actual star wars universe knows the truth. even fucking snoke…. snoke…..who didn’t have the perception to realize when he was Totally about to Get Murdered….. even he can look at han solo’s only son and be like “you’re fucked, kid. your dad was the nicest man in space. a slightly prickly teddy bear with a marshmallow center. a pushover. his vest pockets? full of ice cream money. if you’ve got a mean bone in your body, you got it from your terrifying mother”
like i’m rewatching tlj and snoke’s line about kylo ren having “too much of his father’s heart” …. how the fuck does snoke know about han solo’s big beautiful heart, i am really asking??? did he once give snoke’s ship a fucking jump when it was stalled out? did han solo appear in the star wars equivalent of those sarah mclachlan commercials, holding a fucking adoptable porg in each hand? did kylo ren tell snoke stories about his dad picking him up from school and taking him out for burgers like what the fuck, how the fuck does the entire universe, including a fucking sith lord, know what a sweet crusty old fucking dope han solo was??? were there fucking pamphlets???!!?!
kylo ren: “and my dad never understood me… he feared my power”
snoke, electrocuting him: “you shut the fuck up about han solo, that man is a saint”
In the vast world of comics, I wonder if there have been heroes with a “Groundhog Day,” type power. By that I specifically mean a hero who, if they die, immediately finds themselves waking up at the beginning of that day again. If they don’t die, they just continue forward through time.
I’m just thinking of how crazy it would be to have that hero on your super hero team. Like, you go to headquarters in the morning, and it seems like everything’s normal. But then you go to fire off a one liner, and they say it at the same time as you. And suddenly you know. Something went wrong.
And then one day you come in, and your heart drops as you see that their every move looks rehearsed. They answer questions before asked. They are totally aware of everything that’s about to happen. Imagine how scary that would be, realizing you’re starting a day that you’re team mate has failed to survive maybe dozens of times.
Unsure what the best part of the “Thor Ragnarok” snake joke is:
– Thor liking snakes
– Tiny!Thor’s instinct upon seeing a new snake to go investigate/pick it up
– Loki knowing that Thor likes snakes, and then using this information to get back at him (or possibly being completely unaware that Thor likes snakes and just assuming that a random snake on Asgard, somewhere, would make Thor curious)
– Loki’s snake plot involving: Thor is happy to see me/snake, picks me up/investigates, I turn back into a humanoid form, yell, and then stab him with some kind of knife/sword. Like not even bite him or anything and or strangle him as a snake. Just like… pretend to be a snake, then stab him as a humanoid. (to be fair, the film version is probably more like what an 6-8-year-old would plan, which… possibly makes it better?)
– Loki smiling afterward, like it’s a fond memory
– Chris Hemsworth’s delivery
– Tom Hiddleston possibly smiling because of Chris Hemsworth’s delivery/the silliness of the story
– Valkyrie’s reaction to this whole ridiculousness
– Tiny!Thor/adult!Thor possibly being more angry that Loki used Thor’s love of snakes against him than the fact that Loki stabbed him
– At least a reference to MCU!Loki turning into a non-humanoid character, which I’m pretty sure is something we haven’t seen before. Since it’s not something he’s done on-screen, and Loki has transformed a couple times (e.g., Odin, Captain America), there’s the potential that turning yourself into an animal is easier than turning yourself into a human, which is interesting, lore-wise (so more magic + more lore possibilities is neat)
– the Jormundgandr implications
The fact that apparently to Asgardians, 8 year olds stabbing each other is not a cause of major concern.
