working as a writer on star wars related stuff after george lucas had to be hilarious because you've got this incredibly serious edgy character you wrote and suddenly george is like "pick between these two names: Darth Perverse or Darth Enormous"
As my brother, a big SW fan, has told me, the names are part of the identity.
It's so messed up that Coca Cola is one of the quintessential symbols of the US globally, a drink sold across the world and known for being refreshing and delicious, but if you actually go to the US and drink it, it tastes like ass.
this really is the funniest website since 2000 followers roughly equates to 5 notes as your floor on any given post. 30 if you’ve said something wretched.
it feels like a whalefall in here
me: man my job sucks i want to play video games or somethin

WHAT THE FUCK IS TH9ISK
there's a lot of talk out there on the blogosphere about people misreading/misinterpreting the great gatsby as an endorsement of gatsby's mindset and lifestyle, but imo the person who misread the book the WORST was none other than one nick carraway. dude met a living metaphor and took him completely at face value 😔

Very heartwarming moment really reflecting on Wally’s character.
you can see batman thinking “this is why we went rogue the MOMENT he died in that other universe”

school field trip to sage island arcade. azuls losing so hard at ddr right now. everyone point and laugh
alright so during into the spider-verse's introduction to peter b. parker, we see his wedding, and he stomps on the wine glass right? this is a jewish wedding tradition, which makes this version of peter parker jewish (further confirmed in interviews -- however, i believe this is enough by itself). it's a nice nod to the jewish roots of the character.
we get to see a bunch of peter parkers throughout the spider-verse films, and none of them have any explicit religious associations like peter b. parker. except for one!
here we have gwen stacy's peter parker and aunt may, from earth-65, saying grace over a meal. from my understanding, this is generally a christian practice -- in judaism, we prefer to say short prayers before eating, and save the long, in-depth ones for afterwards. so to me, this was a clear example of the character being coded as christian. i was a little disappointed that they didn't make peter parker jewish here too, but since across the spider-verse discusses variants and the differences between instances of the same person between different universes, i interpreted this as a continued commentary on peter parker's ethnicity -- although he was initially jewish-coded and one of his two creators, stan lee, is jewish, this is often erased, especially in more modern interpretations of the character.
and then i remembered that this peter parker also literally turns into the lizard.
and y'know what? good call on that one guys.
You can't just leave this in the tags
Dear tumblr staff,
