top 5 beatdown is such a delightful show to me. my favorite part is when someone goes IN THIS RANKING… i pick. THIS THING! and someone else is like LMAOOOOOO u like THIS THING! that is so stupid. and then 2 minutes later u find out they have it ranked even higher

but “thank you for saving my life” maverick has spent more than three decades believing that the world would be better if he had been the one to die in that crash. has tried to do everything he can to atone for that moment. including fulfilling the dying request of the boy’s mother (whom he loved like a sister) aided by his own fear of his surrogate son dying so so young like his father and estranging his son from him. maverick goes on that mission knowing he’ll die saving his son as his final act of atonement. and he almost gets his wish. until the son he pushed away saves him in return and he realizes. his death is not required for atonement. sacrifice doesn’t have to be the end but can allow him to live. to let the grief and the guilt go. to thank his son for saving his life. because he wants to live. and “it’s what my dad would have done” bradley doesn’t remember much of his father but he knows goose loved him. he knows goose would have done anything for maverick. but goose wasn’t the man who raised rooster. his dad raised him. his dad taught him of the love required to sacrifice yourself for others. his dad taught him to never leave your wingman. his dad taught him to not think, just do. and through all the pain and grief and time lost he finally understands. because dammit he is his fathers’ son.

Got back from seeing the movie again and a tiny theme I liked was the solidarity in the younger POC generation vs the older gen.

Margo, Hobie, Pavitr and Miles all had eachother’s back. They fought together, they helped eachother in small ways like Hobie telling Miles to use the palms, and big ways like Miles saving Captain Singh and Margo letting Miles go “home”.

They could’ve stopped him, they could’ve not helped eachother but they did. Because they understood and they all realized what was wrong with the Spider Society. All of them at the end came together to support and help Miles, in the way the rest of the spiders couldn’t.

And when you put that into perspective with Miguel and Jessica, older POC that gave no support. They believe that Miles has to suffer in order to become Spider-Man, that pain will always have to happen.

But the others don’t believe that, they know that best way to be a hero is uplift and help eachother. Often the parents, the older generation compromise their morals and others for the future, for them to grow up safer and yet the future generation always has to reckon with the consequences of those actions without even having a say in the first place.

That’s a damn message, and I love that they used the younger poc generation to show that because this does happen in real life, there is a difference and our parents, our grandparents believe that pain has to happen for our identity to be created.

I wanna know about Richard and Jan Maas’s dynamic. Their banter about the supermodel in the Christmas episode. Richard’s absolute refusal to sightsee Amsterdam or eat Dutch food. The way they hugged at Sam’s restaurant. Jan squeezing his shoulder after cooking teases him. Tell me what’s going on between these twoooo

No because it was so important for Roy to be the one to go after Isaac because he’s the reason Isaac is captain. He handed Isaac the armband and told him to keep throwing chairs into tvs. He rewarded Isaac’s anger and aggression and now it came to a head he had to be the one to figure out what was going on and help Isaac through it. And the full circle of Roy making Isaac captain over his outburst, Ted needing Roy’s help in making Isaac a better captain and in turn showing Roy he could be a coach, and now Isaac’s latest outburst leading to Roy really coming into his own being a well rounded coach is beautiful.

Seattle Public Library is doing this awesome program called Books Unbanned that allows teens and young adults (ages 13-26) access to their collection of e-books and e-audiobooks from anywhere in the USA. All you need to do is fill out a simple form and you get their Books Unbanned card. Please share this information far and wide. I know they're not the only ones to have done this, but the more the merrier!
