tumblr is REALLY fucking up this time.

they’re deleting all the popular update/daily blogs, for paparazzi pics? paparazzi takes pictures of people without consent, and makes MONEY off of them… and we can’t even edit them (without making money off them!) without getting deleted? meanwhile, there’s a whole ass MAP community on here, there’s nazi blogs, there’s legitimately BAD PEOPLE on here… and that’s fine! but god forbid people edit pictures.

this is going to make it so hard for content creators to get their edits noticed, because all the big blogs that would reblog it… are gone.

i’m…. upset. and annoyed. if you can’t fucking tell.

I’m seeing some people defend the Russo’s by saying shit like “it’s not as if they started shooting the funeral scene as soon as they stepped on set they had a day to rehearse”

THATS NOT HOW ACTING FUCKING WORKS. NOT AT A HIGH SCHOOL PRODUCTION LEVEL AND SURE AS FUCK NOT AT A HOLLYWOOD LEVEL

1. Part of the reason rehearsal takes a while is to learn lines, but

2. Then it’s learning the delivery of the lines

3. Then it’s getting into the headspace of the scene and knowing which emotions to convey

4. And if they’re an especially talented actor, they’ll be acting with body language and facial expressions too, which also take time to get down

5. And some actors are method actors, meaning they get in character and stay in character off set and live their life as the character to really get into what makes that character tick. MANY of the marvel actors are method to a degree. Even rdj has admitted to going home still in the mindset of tony.

You absolutely cannot spring a surprise scene on an actor, give them only hours or a day to rehearse, and expect their best. You can’t even expect exceptional. It’ll be good and decent at most and that’s fucking tragic when you’re part of the most anticipated film of a goddamn decade.

It’s stressful as fuck for actors to work under conditions like that. Bad enough if a director or writer decides to change a couple lines at last minute. Being blindsided by an entire scene? Jfc I can’t even imagine.

This goes for all the other fucking bullshit the Russo’s pulled like not telling people who they might be fighting, what some cgi thing looks like, or who they’re even gonna be on set with until the day of. That is not and has never been how acting works and I gaurntee if this had been any other studio most of them would have refused to act under such conditions. But since it is Disney/marvel and the studio does all but own their soul on paper, they have to.

Rdj is about the only one who gets to do what the fuck he wants since without him there is no mcu, and certainly not endgame. But even he isn’t immune to this. The Russo’s ganged up and pressured him into things he originally didn’t want to do and was uncomfortable with. They aren’t the first directors to do that to him, either. At the end of the day, he seems fine with the results. And that may be the absolute truth of it. But we can’t really know for sure ANY of their real thoughts and emotions about it all because either it’s literally in their contract that they can’t speak ill of anything under the studios umbrella or it’ll be twisted around on them and become a much bigger thing than they’d want it to be.

Which is why when bad shit happens on set actors are typically quiet about it for years to come, until they’re safe from major reprecussions. No one is immune to this. Not the richest actors, not the most beloved ones. Which is why the union exists but even then there is only so much it can do.

SO. When people say the Russo’s are shitty for what they did, that is not an exaggeration. When people say it’s unfair to the actors, that is not an exaggeration. When people say they cared more about the product than the story they were trying to tell, it is not an exaggeration.

And I sincerely hope a decade from now when endgame is old news and these actors are long out of Disney/Marvel’s clutches that we hear from them just how unfair it really was.

supervillains fucking hate fighting the x-men because the teams change constantly and sometimes there are??? totally new people there???? fuck there’s a teenager who literally just has eyes all over his body. is he even technically a superhero yet or is he a student. who the fuck knows. how do we counter this shit

fellow tony stans i’m letting it be known we moving on from ‘the only reason your fave is in the mcu is because of tony stark’ to ‘the only reason your fave is alive is because of tony stark’ yall thought we were annoying before?? yall thought we overused something before?? we got the Ultimate ultimate bragging rights now. say thank you tony stark!

Omg I’m crying
