reminder that sam wilson fought in ca:tws in t-shirt and jeans, told some hydra asshole to stfu in a t-shirt and proceeds to jump out of a building in a mf t-shirt- reckless idiot, he's the mirror image of steve "if get killed, walk it off" rogers, its stupid.
also much as i hate to mention the solo movie when chewie introduced han to the wookie they found in the mines his first reaction was to pat hans head like you would when you meet a new dog
To further the analogy of Han is the Dog, According to various canon sources, a Standard Human in the Star Wars universe has a life expectancy of roughly 100-120 years. A Wookie has a life expectancy of around 400 years.
So, caring for Han for Han’s whole life is a commitment of less than a quarter of Chewie’s life. It’s like having a dog that lives to 20-22. A long term companion, but one you know you’re probably going to outlive.
for who it wasnt clear yet: climate change is no longer something that’ll have catastrophic effects 9 years from now or only in “lesser” (bah) countries that arent as well prepared. the dutch are famous for our water ingenuity and infrastructure and look where we are. eat the rich
okay geralt and jaskier meeting in the show is great and it's such a fun introduction to jaskier as a character but I just really love the way they met in the books because canonically its recalled that dandelion was hauling ass at a festival to get away from the Four Big Brothers of a woman he knocked up there and then he saw geralt and went "HEY A WITCHER COOL MY ASS IS SAVED" and hung onto geralt because he didn't wanna fucking die and geralt's immediate response was just going "OH HELL YEAH I'VE GOT A TRAVEL BUDDY :D" and like. I do love jaskier sauntering over to geralt and badly flirting introducing himself with bread in his pants and "three words or less" but... immediate idiot best friends book!geralt and book!dandelion my beloved <3
I hope one day that Brendan Fraser gets to see this post with several thousand (one day perhaps several hundred thousand?) people who have all banded together, united for one single common purpose: to hope that he is having a nice day.
Ok but also from a like, theatrical storytelling perspective, there’s a thing called “willful suspension of disbelief” which is basically the concept that in order to let ourselves be immersed and enjoy a story, we need to turn off our knowledge that it’s all fake anyway.
like yes, we all *know* it’s unrealistically bright for a night time war, but it needs to be so we can SEE the story being told, and the lighting designer used blue light to show it was night time. We KNOW that Sir Ian isn’t actually a wizard but we SUSPEND that DISBELIEF because we want to be entertained.
theres the moon, theres the stars, in this fantasy world the stars might be four times as bright or there might be two moons
or, considering this is a land without electric lights, its assumed that everyones eyes, including those of the viewers, have adjusted enough to the darkness that yes normal ass moon and stars provide sufficient illumination to actually see that the elf king is not wearing sweatpants like youd be able to tell or who the hell was that who just got stabbed thats kind of an important detail in an action scene
