I’m Seeing Some People Defend The Russo’s By Saying Shit Like “it’s Not As If They Started Shooting

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.

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

If You’re European, In A Couple Of Weeks You Will Be Denied Any And All Access To Fandom Contents On

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

Also, sign and share this petition:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

Preach preach preach !

i’m so tired of people saying that starmora is a “forced” ship, that they “don’t have chemistry,” or that “peter loves gamora more than she loves him,” yada yada yada. those are just terrible takes, and objectively not true.

gamora is a quieter person – who loves more quietly – but that doesn’t mean her love is any less profound, deep, or intense; she is, in fact, a person who loves very deeply who has, prior to canon: 1) had to witness the murders of her entirely family, and 2) spent the majority of her life in a kill-or-be-killed situation where showing any kind of vulnerability could literally get her killed. she’s dealing with the significant ramifications of past trauma and abuse, she’s had to conduct herself in a certain way to literally survive, and there’s an understandable fear at the back of her mind that if she allows herself to get close to and be vulnerable with people, she will lose them.

gamora has loved peter very deeply since not that long after they met, and indications of that were all over vol 2. she remembers things that he tells her, responds to his vulnerability with “i love that story,” has soft facial expressions and body language in his presence, is very visibly distressed at the moment when she thinks he died, and was, like, willing to take on a fucking planet because she refused to leave without him. this movie depicted a woman who was abundantly clearly in love with her best friend, even if it took her some time to consciously come to the realization of it because of the aforementioned reasons (ramifications of past trauma and abuse, etc).

she’s not the type of person to shout her love or anything else from the rooftops, because that’s not her personality, but that doesn’t mean she loves any less.

so, like… people can miss me with this bs.

Not to be a downer but if i had to, at 12 years old, listen to my mother tell me all the different ways men would want to hurt my body, and how i might prevent that, then i really feel like teenage boys can handle a conversation with their parents that starts “let’s talk about consent”
