Tag yourself, I’m Tom Hiddleston’s silent screams and internal monologue rejecting the artlessness of every single thing that is happening to me
#first taika#then the russos#why tom cant have nice things
Guess he’d better stick to Shakespeare and little art films, eh, @duskyhuedladysatan? He’ll be happier, we’ll be happier, and the morons at the big studios who don’t know how to deal with him will be happier, too.
Until further notice, I have decided that in the fictional world of the MCU, “Infinity War” did not happen. Neither did “Thor: Ragnarok.” I don’t know exactly what did happen because I don’t know how to write comic book movie plots, but it’s vaguely like all my most hopeful imaginings of what the movies would be like. It’s like an author died before finishing a series and left very scant notes on what was coming next.
In the real world, the movies do exist, and I will continue to express my anger at Taika Waititi, Chris Hemsworth, Markus & McFeely, the Russo brothers, and Kevin Feige when I feel it would be helpful to vent. But their work is like that unauthorized second part of Don Quixote: an absurd forgery that has marred the reputations of the characters and of the real artist(s) who created them.
While I’m at it, I might as well add “Captain America: Civil War” to the list. I don’t know exactly what Tony and Steve fought about, but it was a lot more substantive than the personal vendetta crap those hacks gave us. Though maybe we should be glad they didn’t try to touch on serious issues about right to privacy vs. right to know and voluntary vs. involuntary enhancement, since they think (their version of) Steve’s self-certainty is moral courage while Tony’s doubt is sin, and when they try to go “philosophical,” they give us Thanos’s Malthusian bullshit and try to convince us it’s compelling and sympathetic.
