one thing i really liked about thor ragnarok that i havent seen a lot of folks on my dash talking about was its critique of imperialism and the ultimate message that a nation founded on the violent takeover of others doesn’t deserve to exist and will be the author of its own destruction, though its people may be innocent of their country’s past crimes
another thing i really liked about thor ragnarok is jeff goldblum’s painted nails
also it’s a great story about how the destruction and/or theft of land, though incredibly traumatic, does not signal the end of culture and identity, which is held within the peoples of the diaspora (he’s māori and has jewish ancestry so like!!! holy shit yes).
taika waititi not-so-secretly appropriating a marvel franchise for the purposes of de-/post-colonial storytelling is a power move and now my hype for black panther has been reinvigorated
i also liked jeff goldblum’s blue eyeliner
how about the gilded fake history falling away to show the more violent, imperialist truth, and the way thor was not allowed to shrug off how he was part of a legacy of violence and conquering of innocents, but in fact forced to face the ultimate consequences of the evil done by his father (which he has been complicit in bt failing to critically consiser Asgard’s past, as we all must consider our culture’s past in order to move past it, which involves accepting consequences and consciously working to do better)
also jeff goldblum’s one armed gold robe was iconic
okay, so here’s the thing. i’ve got a student prime account and netflix. comes to about $15.91 a month. if i added the commercial-free version of hulu, it would come to $27.90 a month.
basic cable before internet is $64.99 a month. which includes commercials. and infomercials. about a quarter of all television is commercials. which is about $16.25 a month to have someone selling shit to you.
explain how it’s my and my generation’s fault that we’re not falling for the same scam our parents are.
Cable killing itself by not adapting to the market.
I really … don’t know what the mom expected… I really do not

I am so sorry for this child and others who were given ‘uuneek’ names by their dumbass moms and I hope as soon as she’s able to legally change her name she can do so with ease.
