Except no that’s not what happened, that’s not why he sued, he sued because when he went to ask for more napkins, the staff started racially harassing him, all over fucking napkins. As for the amount, ut was probably exaggerated by the lawyer so when the court shrinks it, McDonalds would still have to pay at least something.
There are no such things as frivolous lawsuits made by individual people.
McDonald’s (and most businesses) have insanely good pr departments. The woman who sued McDonald’s for being burned by their coffee was turned into the face of “people will sue over anything” because suing over coffee being hot sounds ridiculous, right? Except for she was literally burned to the bone. The pictures are nauseating. What she went through was horrifying.
If you ever find yourself ridiculing an individual on a company’s behalf you’re probably just repeating pr propaganda
This is one of several hills I will die on.
And she didn’t want to sue initially. She just asked that they pay her medical bills. They refused and therefore she sued.
Wow, standing up for the health and well-being of the people gets you branded a terrorist in this country.
mark ruffalo is also a big environmental activist. he came to our school my freshmen year to talk against fracking in our community, seeing as that is a HUGE topic for the binghamton area.
i have a lot of respect for mark ruffalo. he doesn’t do those ~gimmicky~ activist pushes. this is something he does when he’s not acting. this is something he would do even if he weren’t an actor.
OK real talk can anyone tell me if the 1st deadpool movie is watchable because I’m dying for these gifs I’m seeing of literally everyone other than deadpool like I’m sure he’s fine as a character but you know how IRL when you find out someone’s a deadpool fan and then they’re also like a fucken men’s rights activist or some shit
I just… want to watch her movie, who is she, I love her, will she marry me
yes it is, very watchable.
Every “men’s rights” who stan Deadpool are simply displaying their usual level of intelligence and insight. Deadpool (and Ryan Reynolds) are everything they are not and shit and piss in a kinky way on everything these assholes stand for. They simply don’t get it.
Deadpool 1 is good, Deadpool 2 is fucking great.
This is so weird my real life friend and my internet friend are talking to each other about Deadpool.
But yes, @iscariotsss , I second this opinion. Deadpool is full of unabashed gay innuendo. The second one has a canonical lesbian couple. The side characters kind of are the best part, but I don’t think that’s a problem.
Wait is it gay innuendo like queerbatey “haha gays!” Or is it… gay
Like my tolerance for “haha gay” is zilch lately
It sorta depends on where they go with it from here. Those who know that Deadpool is pansexual in the comics see it as a recognition of the fact that he is actually attracted to men. But his only serious romantic and sexual relationship in the movies has been with a woman, which leaves it open to the douchebros to interpret the innuendo as “ha ha gay.” The same cannot be said of the lesbian relationship, which isn’t played for laughs (and remains pretty chaste, since it’s between two teenage girls).
From what I know of Ryan Reynolds, he’s been angling for Wade to have an actual relationship with a man and he’s been pushing the boundaries to try to convince the studio that they’re wrong to think it won’t sell. But I can’t promise that he’ll succeed… in which case the innuendo will turn out to have been queer-baity, even if the creative team didn’t mean it that way. And I do know that creator intention isn’t everything.
It’s Friday, so let’s have a bit of humourous dash magic from @philosopherking1887 and @buckykingofmemes. No matter whose voice you read this in, it’s amusing! Or, at least, *I* find it amusing!
Maybe Loki could share his hair product recommendations with Bucky … .
I remember posting somewhere once in a thread about why girls aren’t exploited in animation anymore where some guy said, “all the disney girls are drawn to be generally attractive, but I don’t think there are any eye-candy men… or are there? Are there any Disney men that lots of girls like?” and I mentioned Roger. Tons of girls replied agreeing with me and the original guy was like “wait, Roger? from 101 Dalmatians? What’s attractive about him, he’s tall and lanky and has a big nose, he isn’t muscley at all! Wouldn’t you all prefer Gaston or something? Or do you girls think his big nose is indicative of something else?” and I was like “no, you idiot, he’s a silly, goofy guy who likes animals and can play a bunch of instruments, that’s why he’s attractive. What’s the matter with you? Gaston, seriously?”
This is why we need more girls in animation. And more guys like Roger apparently.
This is why I laugh my ass of whenever dudes talk about how men are “objectified” by the media too. Because 9 times out of 10, what men think is “women objectifying men” are characters like Gaston.
And Gaston is NOT a woman-driven fantasy. Gaston is a male wish fulfillment fantasy. Gaston is not what women want, he is what men want to be. He is hyper-masculinity to an extreme degree, dripping with sexism and testosterone. The fact that men think that Gaston is what women want says an awful lot about those men.
While I don’t want to generalize, female fans tend to prefer a very different kind of male hero. We like the Rogers, the Milos, the Hercules. Genuinely kind, often awkward men who are sometimes vulnerable and respectful to women.
Yes, this is a generalization. I own up to that. But I think it’s important to remember that there is often VERY big difference between what MEN want to be and what women WANT in our media.
Reblogging this again because fucking this. And hell, even the muscley dudes (see: Khal Drogo, Hercules, Thor, Captain America) are loved, not because they are muscley, but because they are sweet and loving and adorable. We love Thor because his mispronounces “Hubble” as “Hooble,” not because of what he can do with a hammer.
Reblogging for the awesome comments.
I’m just here to say I love the animation of Roger so fucking much. look how fucking smooth and graceful and agile he is. 2d animation is amazing and i just want to hug it
All of this.
Okay, listen, to return briefly to the idea of Gaston: Beauty and the Beast is actually the first animated Disney screen play written by a woman. Linda Woolverton, the screenwriter, got a lot of attention for creating a self-proclaimed feminist heroine in 1991, but she also had a *lot* to say about Gaston. She didn’t stumble into that villain by mistake. She crafted him based on her own experiences with men and even her ex-boyfriends, and said: “To Gaston, Belle wasn’t a person; she was a possession. And I think it’s great for little boys to see that Beauty doesn’t choose him. Not only can they look at Gaston as an example of how not to treat women, but they can hopefully be taught by the Beast, a macho guy who is comfortable with his feelings and gentleness. He could teach a lot of men, in fact, about sensitivity.“
Not only is Gaston not a woman’s fantasy, he’s literally a woman’s horror story.

The second most irritating thing a person can say in regards to Loki is that that he faked his sacrifice in TDW. Bonus points if they’re a fan of Ragnarok, which goes out of its way to point out how Loki’s illusions are not solid. THEY ARE NOT SOLID. They become distorted when touched. So how the fuck did Loki fake being stabbed? And when he nearly got sucked into a black hole grenade saving Jane, was that part of his master plan to take the throne of Asgard, too? What about offering said throne to Thor? Ugh!
The most irritating thing a person can say in regards to Loki is that he faked his death/suicide in Thor. I have no words for these people. They render me speechless.
Honorable mention goes to people who call Loki fascist in Avengers. I assume because they can’t understand subtext. Bonus points if they were around before Ragnarok and thought Loki was a great, sympathetic villain, and have only now started talking trash about his characterization pre-Ragnarok because it’s in to hate on the previous iterations, especially those written by Whedon.
The first words Thor speaks to him are “Where is the Tesseract?”
A growled demand. The brash, entitled tone Thor took when addressing Laufey on Jotunheim.
Loki bristles and gathers his own words to go to war.
He huffs out an dismissive laugh. “Oh, I missed you, too.”
“Do I look to be in a gaming mood?” Thor’s eyes are a storm and his hammer is raised in a fist that looks like it wants to punch.
How can Thor would even think to say ‘game’? Fury licks up through Loki like an igniting flame and he is punching. Before his mind even reacts his fist cracks against Thor’s jaw and the shockwave travels back down his arm.
He curses himself for reacting before he can craft a strategy.
Thor grabs him by the neck in a choking grip.
“Where is the Tesseract, Loki? What have you done?” He shouts in Loki’s face, so close his breath is tangible in hot gusts.
“What have I done! And there you are, Thor!” Loki hisses. “There is the truth of you. Not, ‘Where were you, Brother? How did you survive?’ but ‘What have you done?’ I am only ever of use to the court of Asgard when I serve your purpose. Well I have found new purpose, Odin’s son.”
Thor looks chastened, eyes wet.
“I thought you dead.” Thor’s grasp on his neck gentles, old gesture Loki knows like his own reflection. He pushes the affection away.
“You thought,” Loki echoes, flatly. He turns head away, the hand on his neck burning him with its mockery of concern.
“Loki, what has happened to you? Where have you been?” He drops Mjolnir, and the short musical hum grates Loki’s ears.
“It matters not. I have been given purpose. I have seen true power, and I—”
“Who showed you this power? Who controls the would-be king?” Thor grabs him by the shoulders now.
“Controls? No one c-controls me,” Loki says, and twists out of Thor’s grip. He’s starting to shake, so he stalks the craggy ground in a circle. “I was and should be king!”
“Not here, Loki. Not like this.” Thor’s voice is soft, conciliatory.
Loki can’t stand it, this gentleness. He’s coming apart. Flashes of the empty rock world come to him. Thin dusty air never refreshing his lungs, sunlight never brightening his eyes, his stomach a churning hollow. Poison his only water and razor whips lashing his back.
He doesn’t realize he’s weeping until the tears grow cooler than his skin.
“Loki, tell me what happened,” Thor pleads from far away.
“No!” Loki says. He turns on the spot and isn’t even seeing Thor as he seeks out the seam in his armor and sinks the knife in.
Thor grunts heavily but doesn’t counter attack. He presses a hand against the wound and reaches out for Loki again. “Brother, please, tell me.”
“Now?” Loki sobs, inching away. “Now you offer solace? In the midst of battle? Where were you then Thor?”
He screams, his hands twisted into claws. “Where were you then!”
Thor catches up to him, and pulls Loki against him, and the fight falls out of him. He slumps against his brother, crying in gulping, heavy sobs. “I needed you. I needed you Thor, and you weren’t there.”
Their shared tears rock them together and eventually they sink to the rocky ground, bloodied hands grasping each other’s necks.
A new officially licensed, limited edition screen print featuring the epic 2012 Joss Whedon directed film, “The Avengers” by artist, Marko Manev. "Avengers: Infinity War" isn’t too far away now, and what better way to spend waiting in anticipation than to have this art prepare you for what’s going to be one of the biggest Marvel films to date!
I want!!!
I NEED ONE OF THESE!!
Yes yes, WANT!!!
Yes, this is the correct size ratio of Loki to everyone else.
Loki is the Philosopher King
