I took my little brother (who falls on the autism spectrum) to see Guardians of the Galaxy and after this scene he lit up like a Christmas tree and screamed “He’s like me! He can’t do metaphors!” And for the rest of the film my brother stared at Drax in a state of rapture.
So for the last 6 days I have heard my brother repeatedly quote all of the Drax lines from the movie verbatim (one of his talents), begin studying vocabulary test words, and tell everyone he knows that people with autism can also be superheroes.
Now I am not saying that Drax the Destroyer is, or was ever, intended to be autistic. All I am saying is that it warmed my heart to see my brother have an opportunity to identify himself with a character known for his strength, badassness, and honor. And that is pretty damn awesome.
So while I adored Guardians of the Galaxy as a great fun loving film with cool characters I can do nothing but thank Marvel Studios and Dave Bautista for finally bringing a superhero to the screen that my little brother can relate to.
YOU GOTTA GET away from my friends because they’re more attractive looking and cooler than me and you might choose them instead which i completely understand because im ugly
the white house released this video on sexual assault that actually targets men, telling them not to rape, rather than telling women not to be raped. please watch this.
This is so fucking important, that I can’t even start to describe the happiness I get from finally seeing amajor world government making a video thatdoesn’t tell women to not get raped, but instead tells men to not rape & to stop rape in the first place.
This right now, should be across Tumblr like a wildfire. It should be trending on Twitter and Facebook. This is good news. This is great news. This is, for once, a positive step towards educating people on a fucking huge scale about sexual assault.
This isn’t a solution. Rape culture isn’t gone. We can’t all just stand around and pat ourselves on the back saying, “We did it guys! We made the video! Job done.” - but for the first time in my memory, society is beginning to actively change its broken perspectives from the top level down. This is great. This is good news. This is a start.
It’s finally finished! Yes, this is all of the song I’m doing but by all means play as many other songs with it as you like. We recommend Hips Don’t Lie, Talk Dirty to Me, and Tight Pants Body Rolls.
So this is what air benders can do. Sucking the air out of people’s lungs. Just as cool as lightening bending if you ask me
No I don’t think you guys understand this is frightening
Airbenders are pretty much the most powerful benders. A firebender has to create fire. A waterbender is most powerful on the open seas as much as an earthbender is on land. But air is literally everywhere.
The Air Nomads weren’t dangerous because they chose not to be.
Friendly Reminder that Airbenders can suck the air out of your lungs, and more advanced techniques are controlling sound and air pressure. This means they could burst your eardrums, and crush your lungs.
And they also have the potential to create a sharknado.
But does people not get it though? When the airbenders became extinct it wasn’t because they were weak. They could’ve overthrown the firenation with just this single move. If they wanted to, and decided to go against their beliefs, I’m sure they would’ve toppled over the firenation so easily. But they held onto their beliefs. It meant more to them than anything.
Yo I remember reading years ago about the capabilities of an airbender, one of which was bending the air out of people’s lungs. I always figured that would be too dark, even for Nick…but since they introduced bloodbending…I’m not surprised this wasn’t far behind.
Friendly reminder that Monk Gyatso’s corpse was surrounded by the bones of several dozen firebenders. Gyatso went down fighting, and god only knows what he did.
Gyatso must have made the room a vacuum, killing the firebrnders and himself in the process
Guys it’s really important during this whole ferguson protest that we as social media DO NOT back down until punishment is dealt to those racists. If we let this movement die, then the oppressors win. I’ve seen stuff like this before and the majority of people stop posting about it within a week. We can’t let that happen, this is too important. so keep reblogging and keep posting until these darn racists are punished for their awful inhumane actions.
Joe Russo: Our process a lot of times is film geekdom and I think it was Stravinsky who said, “Good musicians don’t borrow, they steal.” Well, we steal a lot. And this is Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back getting tortured. I remember being eleven or twelve in the theater watching him scream as they walked away and thinking, “Oh my God, that’s horrifying.”
Anthony Russo: Our innovation was to remove his shirt.
