people like to say that superhero movies “aren’t realistic” but what about that time Steve Rogers hurled himself out of a plane without a parachute rather than deal with a friend’s questions about his love life

And a *Bonus* (in keeping with Marvel tradition) -

Hope everyone enjoys these as much as I do - they took long enough to make. But they’re finally finished - hey, let’s celebrate with some sleep! Good evening, all. :)

Dear gods, this is perfection.

The biggest problem with every single bad review of Captain Marvel coming from a man is that none of them seem to comprehend a narrative that isn’t meant for them.

They see Carol finally breaking free from being gaslighted by the Kree as “emotionally underwhelming,” never realizing that a climactic, emotional showdown with her abuser would be giving him exactly what he wants. Being in control of her emotions? Choosing not to react to a provocation? That’s strength most male comic fans don’t understand. They see masculine-coded strength as the only valid kind. Carol not being angry and putting Yon-Rogg down in a shonen-esque battle doesn’t make sense to them because it’s not what they would have done.

They see a woman struggling to work through lies she’d been told as “bad narrative structure,” when in reality the movie was never about building Carol up from nothing, but about her realizing her true potential through seeing past those lies. Carol’s character arc parallels many women attaining social consciousness, throwing off patriarchal lies they’d been conditioned to accept about who they are and what they can do. Her story isn’t about attaining power, but about embracing her true potential that had been deliberately hidden from her.

They see Carol’s emotions not lining up with the lies her abusers told her about being too emotional as “bad writing” or “bad acting,” never realizing that that was exactly the point. They only understand defiance as impassioned, outward battles of will and pride, not understanding that quiet, steadfast refusal to bend to others’ designs of who you should be is strength too.

Brie Larson was absolutely right. Carol’s story is not for men. And nothing proves that more than all the fanboys who didn’t understand it throwing fits on the internet.

Adidas  “Class of ‘92 “

Adidas Originals are releasing new limited-edition trainers to mark 25 years since Manchester United’s most famous group of youngsters, the Class of 92, made their mark.  Gary Neville, David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs were all members of United’s iconic FA Youth Cup-winning side 25 years ago and went on to sweep the boards with the first-team years later.   The quintet, along with fellow academy graduate Phil Neville, went on to play huge roles in one of the most glorious periods in the club’s history under Sir Alex Ferguson, winning a historic treble together in 1999.  A quarter of a century on, Adidas Originals are releasing 1,992 pairs of striking red trainers, which incorporate elements from both of the club’s strips back in 1992.  The insole of the shoes even have a print of the blue and white, lightning pattern of the club’s away shirt from the time - which became associated with Giggs in particular. Each trainer is individually numbered 1 - 1992 and the tongue has the Adidas label with the word ninety-two below it in black and gold.
