Holy shit this fucking super power. The avengers did Quicksilver WRONG.
Holy shit
The brilliant thing about this isn’t just the CGI, it’s the clever little touches of humor– mussing the boy’s hair, saving the goldfish, drinking the soda can, the moonwalk, lining up the dart with the dartboard. I notice new details every time I see this clip. You can watch this scene with zero context and still fully enjoy it. You don’t need to know who he is or who he’s saving or why. There’s a guy who runs real fast and he’s saving people from an explosion, and he’s having a blast with it, and that’s all you need to know. It’s entertaining and fully comprehensible even if you know nothing about the movie. That’s damn good filmmaking.

biologist:
Like literally the only reason we didn’t go extinct is because we are aggressively social creatures who community organized and helped each other when faced with disasters that drove other species over the brink.
(Like we’re so aggressively social that we looked at APEX PREDATORS and went ‘they look soft! Friend????’)
(The answer was yes because wolves are also aggressively social and they adopted the strange tall not-wolves just as eagerly.)
humans @ wolves: holy shit these things are so cute i wonder if they’ll let us pet them?

Can I just say because I wanted to say thank you to you all these years. I’m sure I have. I hope I have. I was very nervous on that first film. I started three weeks in, it was my first movie and there was a lot going on. There was a lot of people and I remember you pulling me aside and saying: ‘this sometimes is going to feel uncomfortable, it’s gonna be overwhelming. But you’re in good hands and everything is going to be okay.’ Both of you were such heroes of mine, I was a little starstruck. It was the first day I met you and you saying that to me, I never ever forgot it.

no I don’t want a M’Baku movie I want a fucking M’Baku sitcom. daily life with the Jabari. vegetarian food. pretty African mountain village aesthetics. killer jokes. prob some actual gorillas. would be great.
tiny brain: fairy tales i.e. beauty and the beast, snow white, and cinderella are romantic
slightly bigger brain: fairy tales are sexist as fuck #WhatPrincessesTaughtMe
slightly slightly bigger brain: actually fairy tales are empowering for example cinderella is about a woman escaping her abusive home situation and beauty and the beast is about love between social outcasts
large brain: most of these stories are old as shit and reflect the gender roles of the time of their conception but whether or not they are intolerably sexist depends very much on the execution and interpretation of the critical plot points by the adaptation and you can’t paint every adaptation with the same brush
