I love the idea of Thor!Loki fucking Avengers!Loki… but somehow I always imagine it going the other way, in terms of top and bottom. This is good, though. Avengers!Loki was still the seducer… but it’s a little more twisty.
TH [starting at 3:20]: “Somebody said to me, and I genuinely can’t remember where I’ve read this, that every villain is a hero in his own mind. And I think that if you can allow the audience to see that perspective, that there is some kind of flawed but comprehensible logic in the villain’s motivation, that the audience can go, ‘Oh, you know what, he has a point’… and I actually felt like that with Killmonger, with Michael B. Jordan’s performance in Black Panther. You could go, ‘I kind of see his point of view,’ and I think it’s important for the audience, even though they can perhaps see that this is a… it’s going to get you nowhere, like revenge, often it gets you nothing, it’s a fool’s errand, it’s a cul-de-sac, it’s an evacuation of your own anger into the external world, but at least audiences can see that… they can go, ‘Well, I understand why that character is upset or angry.’ So I suppose it’s about access… trying to allow the audience to see that even if the motivations are not perfect, that somehow you can see the point of view. I wonder about Thanos. It’s interesting, it’s a really powerful character, and there’s something nihilistic about his motivation. He just wants to bring death. He wants to destroy half the universe. ‘Why?’ is the question I would ask. And I am sure they have answered it.”
They answered it all right… but it’s a fucking terrible answer. It’s the answer of a freshman boy in a philosophy seminar who read Ayn Rand and talks about it loudly at every opportunity.
It’s beautiful how people with autism are typically so much more spatially advanced…my little cousin has memorized all the freeway systems in California and he’s like 9
From memory…. Let that sink in…I barely remember myself
WHAT omfg that’s so amazing!
Omg I watched this documentary years ago and I was just completely floored! This guy is beyond amazing! What no one mentioned is that this drawing is unbelievably accurate and proportionally to scale. He has the exact number of windows, floors, doors, etc on each building. And someone measured it and everything was to scale and geographically correct. On all of his drawings he has the exact number right even from just looking at a building for two minutes.
What’s even more amazing is that he used to be almost completely nonverbal and through his art he’s been able to become completely independent and self-sufficient and is now a successful artist who owns his own gallery where he sells his drawings and people come from all over to buy his art. He is fully verbal and communicative and most people who meet him don’t even realize that he has autism.
This dude is literally the coolest most incredible guy ever!
Oh and I forgot to add that he did this drawing in under five days (it might have even been three days but I can’t remember)!
