Shame and opprobrium where it’s due: the people who wrotethe screenplay for Infinity War are Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. I blame them more than the Russo brothers for the bullshit that was IW … though of course the Russos executed Markus & McFeely’s shitty vision in predictably shitty fashion.
Was briefly tempted to write “don’t @ me” in my course syllabus, in regard to a paper I think I’m going to assign that was written by a conservative jurist and legal scholar.
Now imagining students responding to the paper by saying “OP is a racist capitalist shill but go off I guess”
To be fair, though… the guy is arguing that engaging with literature doesn’t make you morally better. His own moral flaws, given the obvious evidence that he’s very well-read, only tend to reinforce his point.
Okay but Ego was super impressed about hearing that Peter could hold an Infnity Stone, even for a couple minutes, and said he had to be his son, had to be a Celestia to survive that.
Well Jane was possed by one for a few day, so who the Hell is she related too?
Low-key, since she a Peter are basically the same age, I’m gonna headcanon now Ego got busy with some other Earth lady (you can say Ego loves Meredith, but I mean, cheating is a thing, and how much love do we really think that psycopathic planet really had in him). And, also, like, her mom died of cancer in the comics when she was nine, just like with Peter in the movies, I’m just saying. They’re totally half siblings, fight me.
An explanation for why Yondu didn’t go pick her up along with Peter though, is maybe he told Ego he’d only pick up one kid at a time (since Ravagers apparently aren’t even supposed to deal with kids at all), and then while he had Peter, figured out what was happening to Ego’s kids, so obviously didn’t go back to Earth at any point to have gotten her.
This theory is incredibly intriguing. Now I’m trying to remember if we ever learned anything about Jane’s father….
Only, I think, that he was friends with Selvig, and (maybe) a scientist too (in the comics he’s a plumber),
But I dont think its a stretch to imagine Jane’s mom could have thought she’d never see Ego again, and when she ended up with another guy, that guy was around for her and Jane, and became Jane’s father and who she called dad regardless of blood relation.
(Ive been thinking about this theory non-stop since I thought of it last night. Could you imagine how dumb Odin would feel realised he didn’t think a Celestial was worthy of his Son)
Considering how Odin treated his own second son and underestimated him at everything, it’s definitely not something he would have anticipated.
My goodness, does it make sense though. Jane Foster as half Celestial. I’m taking this theory now. That’s incredible. That would also make her and Peter Quill half siblings. Peter Quill would have a sister haha.
Could you imagine after everyone found out and they’re just looking between Peter and Jane like “how?”
But also, I think Jane would be the younger sister, and we know Peter’s all about Classic Family Tropes (Play catch with his dad lmao) so he’d totally be all over Thor when he finds out they used to date, like “Don’t even look at my sister dude, you lost all privilege when you broke her heart!”
“she broke up with me!”
“You abandond her to go planet hopping!”
“Because your girlfriend dad was trying to murder the universe!”
(Nebula and Loki in the back ground like “i hate this family so much”)
Amnesiac Cordelia in season 4 of “Angel,” which aired 2002-3, on what she does and doesn’t remember: “I know who’s president, and I kinda wish I didn’t.”
According to Wikipedia, Joss Whedon wrote this episode (“Spin the Bottle”). I really like the framing, with Lorne telling the story and occasionally popping up to narrate inside it.
Connor just looks like a whiny little snot. I can already see Pete Campbell in him.
WTF Sean Astin directed an episode of “Angel.” Yes, that Sean Astin.
Also, most of the episode I just watched turned out to be a dream, kind of. I guess it makes sense, in context, but also… really?
“Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad? There should be a play.”
My parents’ cat had to be put to sleep today. He was only about 9 years old; they only had him for 5 years. You wouldn’t think I’d be all that upset about it, except that I visit often enough that I knew him pretty well and kind of felt like he was my cat too.
My actual cat (Meg) freaks out when I cry, which is not helpful. She refused to come out from under the bed when I wanted to cuddle.
Now I’m just feeling really shitty. I’m physically sick with some kind of mystery fever and I’m sad and I’m really, really tired.
