Post-Ragnarok Thoughts (Includes Spoilers): 

Thor, post-Ragnarok, doesnt really know what to do with himself. he’s lost. so he pushes some buttons and manages to space-skype-call steve rogers. thor relates to steve what went down, and basically goes. im king even though i didnt really wanna be, not really sure what to do please help. 

and steve goes hey have you ever heard of democracy

 so thor, having found a way to maybe not have to be king of asgard or at least be king with a lot more explicit support, delightedly calls a shipwide meeting. he explains the concept of voting (maybe not like. super clearly) and issues ballots. the vote goes like this:

Everybody who’s not really sure what’s going on with this voting thing just votes for thor. that seems like a safe call. some of the really confused ones just write in their own names. a fair number of other asgardians, who actually understand what’s happening, vote thor on purpose, but a lot of it is confusion.

Loki votes for himself. he doesn’t really want to be in charge of this mess but honestly he can’t help himself. Several of the escaped gladiators also vote loki, mostly because they didn’t really follow the whole loki-thor dynamic and loki summoned a giant flaming magma man to kill a planet, which was pretty cool. that guy seems to have a handle on stuff.

the Valkyrie votes “Thor, lord of sparkles.”

Every child votes hulk. they were all issued ballots because nobody realized they maybe shouldn’t be. dr banner votes Hiemdall. 

literally every person who has a good grasp on the situation votes heimdall. thor votes hiemdall.

hiemdall loses to thor by one vote. it was heimdall’s. he voted for thor.

yeah heimdall ABSOLUTELY knows exactly what he’s doing when he votes for thor. he sees everything, he knows how the vote will go. he has watched literally every single member of the line of odin go off the rails while trying to run asgard, and he wants no part of that mess.

he’s heimdall. he doesn’t have to be in charge to do whatever the fuck he wants.

not to be dramatic, but Okoye telling her bitch ass husband she would end him without hesitation when he tried to manipulate her changed me as a person and cured my depression. 

“would you kill me my love?”

“for wakanda? No question.”

a woman in my theater: “oH I HEARD THAT!!!!”

Listen.  LISTEN.  *cups your face in my hands*  Listen to me.  I have never so perfectly and purely seen a Paladin depicted in a movie as I saw in Okoye.  Lawful good to her core.  Pure, unvarnished loyalty to Wakanda and her people evident in every goddamned motion.  Dignified, graceful, reverent respect for the rules of her country and its greater good.

There is something so beautiful about faith, something that just burns through with a beautiful glow that lights up someone’s eyes and every expression.  There is a confidence and a peace that is both palpable and enviable when faith has been tested and come through intact. You could so hear it in her voice.

Personal shit is great, and I’m glad she was seen in a loving relationship.  The Lone Woman Warrior trope is worn thin, and I’m sure even thinner for black women who are often not allowed to be lovable people on screen.  But the core of the Paladin is ‘there is something greater than I, and I will sacrifice everything for it’, and it was beautiful to not only see that happen on screen but see her proved right, see her win, in one case by not even raising her weapon.  She stood firm in her faith and the narrative said yes, it said this is just, it said your very faith will protect you from harm.  And she’s not seen as hard or cold edged weapon for that.  The imagery around her in that moment is more like a saint or an angel, glowing and reaching out a peaceful hand to a symbol of one of the tribes of her country.  Her country loves her back.

Okoye doesn’t just love her country.  She doesn’t just serve her country.  She doesn’t just believe in her country.  She has unshakable faith in an absolute truth: Wakanda Forever.  

She is elevated for her faith as much as her skill.  

It’s fucking breathtaking.  

Reblogging because I hadn’t thought of Okoye as a Paladin, but yes.

She’s so lawful that she was willing to follow Killmonger because the law of Wakanda said so, but not “Lawful stupid” in that when she realized he was just going to destroy her country, she turned on him in a second.

She didn’t turn on him when she realized he was bad for Wakanda, she knew that from the beginning. She turned when he broke the law of inheritance by refusing to continue the challenge, and in so doing lost his legal claim to the throne.

She needed a solid, defensible, reason. A nation is more than a single ruler or family, it’s a system, and her own feelings or political opinions weren’t a good enough reason to defy the system that had held Wakanda together for centuries.

Tom Holland’s Peter Parker would have been able to pick up Mjolnir

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

He can’t and doesn’t want to kill so he still can’t pick up mjolnir, he too pure and innocent for this.

Get your disgusting wrong ass opinion off of my post

And if you seriously think killing is what makes you worthy, theres no saving you

I take this and raise you one: he wouldn’t be able to pick up the hammer. NOT because he’s unworthy, the actual weight of the hammer itself is too heavy for him.

Instead, it’s sitting on a table as some point and he knocks it over by and as he devolves into a mess of apologies to try and pick it up. Thor just stands there watching like “wtf”

It got better
