Everybody: *freaking Out Thinking Their Bias Is Dating Someone And It Isn’t Them*

Lmao Tony is me

Magical girl/boy are my weakness

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.

me running after my pets to see what’s in their mouths

not even sorry

Please reblog if you enjoy Marvel and you're a woman

I have been having an argument with a friend and he says that Marvel is for guys, please help me prove to him that there are lots of women who like Marvel!

its completely okay to shut out your friends when youre feeling bad to avoid hurting them or worrying them, but the moment you start holding that against them and saying how they ‘dont care abt you’ even though youre the one that set the boundaries, youre being a toxic friend and you should like. stop, maybe,

Hey Marvel...

You and I need to have a chat for a moment about the MCU’s godfather, Anthony Edward Stark.

You remember him, right?

You should, considering that under you, Tony has been subjected to/experienced:

Lost parents at age 17 (still a minor)

Kidnapping

Body modification without consent.

Waterboarding

Manipulation via a loved one.

Betrayed by a loved one.

Attempted murder by a loved one. Twice

Long-exposure to poisoning.

Existential crisis due to said poisoning

Having to deal with the aftermath of bullshit created by Howard.

His friends being put in danger.

Political bullshit.

Almost sacrificing himself to save the world by chucking a nuke at an alien spaceship armada.

Panic-attacks and paranoia triggered by said experience cause aliens are fucking real and they’re probably gonna come back. Gotta prepare.

Strung up and forced to watch the love of his life being experimented on.

…and this is after his best friend ending up in hospital and losing his home.

believing his girlfriend is dead.

forced to witness a horrifying vision of his biggest fear: losing his loved ones to an alien enemy because he didn’t do enough to save them.

co-creates an AI global protection system to prevent this, only for an Infinity Stone to turn it into a monstrosity.

Gets berated for something that was out of his and Bruce’s hands.

Held up and choked by a Norse God and his team mates do fuck-all to react.

Berated for keeping secrets by the one person keeping a secret from him that he doesn’t have the right to.

The only one getting blamed for Sokovia while one of the co-creators ran for it and the other waltzed right into the team, no questions asked.

Gets wind of game-changing U.N. sanctioned proposal and backs it cause he knows with some work and several amendments, it could be quite useful to have the majority of the world working together (alien attacks, remember?). Plus accountability is important, but explaining this to his teammates turns to shit very quickly.

Berated for his teammates ending up imprisoned even though they are grown fucking adults who made their own choices and broke several laws.

Was willing to break the law if it meant bringing his teammate and his teammate’s friend in peacefully.

Watches his parent’s murder.

Snaps because the killer is right there and his mental state is too unstable to recognise the killer is a victim himself.

Gets the shit beaten out of him and the metaphorical symbol of his heart is cracked open by his childhood idol.

Left to deal with the fallout, including a now paralysed best friend and a traumatised android.

Get’s a poor excuse of a letter, but accepts it because that’s all he believes he deserves.

That’s 10 years of bullshit right there, Marvel. 10 years of bullshit my favourite character has had to put up with. With Avengers 3&4 coming up, my biggest fear for Tony is that you are willing to actually kill him off. Make him sacrifice himself in order to be noble and all that shit, right?

“The perfect way to end his character arc of redemption”…..Fuck off!

This is the same guy who:

Has been preaching accountability since his first movie.

Wants to ensure that innocent people stay out of harms way at all costs.

Wants to use his resources to encourage the scientists and innovators of the future.

has proved time and time again that the Iron Man armour is useless without him, not the other way around.

Took one look at Bruce Banner and decided to adopt him into his makeshift family.

Immediately sees the good in the Hulk and connects with Bruce to the point that Hulk pays in kind by saving his life. Hulk’s first friend.

easily connects with the random people he meets (Harley for instance) and is willing to give back tenfold if they help him in anyway.

they don’t even have to help him first, he’ll still assist them if he sees they need it.

Refuses to accept that ‘you can’t save everyone’

Proves his point by saving everyone who fell from the Air force One plane.

is doing everything within his intellect and power to protect Earth from that thing he knows is coming.

Looked at his best friend and immediately thought, ‘I’m going to help you walk again.’

is currently using his past mistakes and experiences to protect and guide a young, new superhero he knows perfectly well will mature into a better man than Tony could ever hope to be.  

is willing to fly into space despite it being his biggest fear to battle against an enemy he’s been predicting since 2012.

You see, Marvel, I reflect on all this and the idea of just killing off such an amazing character as a send off seems a bit of injustice. Not only for Tony, but RDJ, Jon Favreau and all of the fans that have been sticking by him for a decade.

I understand that RDJ wants to exit stage left out of the MCU, and I say go for it, more power to him, right? That being said, I really don’t see the harm in just having him retire and live the rest of his life off-screen, happily married to Pepper. All you would need is a reference here and there in future movies and that’s about it. Let Shuri take over as resident genius so we can witness her brilliance while being comforted by the fact that the guy who started it all is just enjoying himself-

Having a well earned break.

Which is what he deserves.

I don’t know how many times it needs to be said.
