I find them pretty funny personally. They are loving terrible and that's a fine measure of quality in this thread.

not a joke pls reblog
my abusive dad thought itd be funny to put his autistic son out on the streets of new york on april fools and torture our whole family woot
so anyways i need help! im being booted from my home today most likely with little belongings and under 300 dollars to my name, which isnt enough to get to anyone who can help me or would even reasonably take me in, as my partners are either across the northern border or in florida.
i cannot, at all, be put out on the streets. i am half blind, autistic, and transgender. i cannot defend myself unless i somehow manage to bludgeon someone with my bag. i need to find a place to stay til i can get to either of them, which should only be about a week or two.
so if you or any of your followers are on long island new york or even in the city (i can access penn station so i can get there.) and are willing to let someone crash for a bit please hit me up thank you
tl;dr hey new yorkers wanna take in a blind trans kid?

Wonder Woman is great because of the example it sets, but there is a weird tendency to dismiss how otherwise standard it is because if that. Snappy quips, origin story, video game boss climax, etc.

I loved Atomic Blonde for how matter of fact my it treated the main character, but then we get a cringey sex scene whose first priority is titillation, followed by the love interest being killed off to give her some motivation. Felt pretty jarring to swerve into that stuff when it's got really strong material otherwise.

I know this is from last page, but whatever.

They could have ended Wonder Woman by having her realize that killing one entity won't end war and deciding to save the people she can instead of trying to be an agent of retribution. Like if, say, they made it so that she had to leave Ares behind to go save her squad buddies or something. You know, something that meshes with the point of the movie rather than saying that war is part of human nature, but then having WWI end when she kills Ares.

Okay, see, this is the sort of thing I was encouraging. Instead of just saying "It sucks", I wanted someone to put a little thought into how it could be better.


Well, the studio says it has to be PG-13. Otherwise, no movie. Let me think about it a bit...
