Welcome to The Random Inanity Universe! I am a 10+year tumblrite and 34-year-old Christian lady known online as River, and TheRIU is my home base for premium memes, wholesome content, and anything else hilarious, fascinating, or thought-provoking that suits my fancy. Expect a wide variety of fandom and original nonsense. (NOTE: This blog is strictly Safe For Work. If you see a reblog containing swears or explicit references I may have missed, please let me know!)
Thinking about how every story where some guy travels across dimensions involves him meeting a bunch of himself with different unique traits, and then one of them is just “you but a girl.” And you know what, it would be frankly hilarious to me if there was a story where dude goes to other dimensions and every alternate version of him is a woman. Surprise, he is the token guy variant of a usually-female character. :D
I would like to issue a petition to put the MCU in the Time Out box for making too many movies that kill off an important character. Marvel should have to let everyone live for at least three consecutive movies (and not be trapped or maimed in horrific circumstances) to teach them to play nice with their toys! You’re like Sid from Toy Story at this point! QUIT IT!
We’ve seen DC and Marvel crossovers and Magical Girl and Mech crossovers, but what I really want to see is a crossover of Superheroes, Magical Girls, and Mechs and they all fit in their usual genres but chalk each others’ unique genres up as simple cultural oddities.
“You have an uncomfortable number of teenage girls wielding devastating magical power over here in Japan.”
“YOU have an uncomfortable number of teenagers and children fighting world-ending threats WITHOUT magical powers.”
“SOME of them are magic! And most of ours have at least some adult supervision.”
“Hey, ours all have magic animal sidekicks or teams!”
*giant mech goes clanking through the city*
“…And how old do you have to be to drive one of THOSE?”
“It varies, but the standard age for mech pilot school entry is 10.”
“I really hope THEY don’t have magical or super powers.”
All you WandaVision posters just keep doing what you’re doing, I’ll be over here gleaning the interesting bits and summaries because yes I am curious and I like these characters but also I have a good idea which comic book storyline this was inspired by and what’s probably going to happen and how mean Marvel has been to their characters, and let me tell you, I am not mentally prepared to directly expose myself to that level of emotional grief, especially in the fashion of weekly cliffhanger episodes.
P.S. Marvel why are you like this, when can we have plain ol’ “superheroes fighting bad guys instead of their own failures and internal traumas” again, give me PEACE
“In fact, during the audition with Chris Evans, the script says, “Spidey flips into scene,” and Tom goes, “Oh, should I do that?” Evans is like, [sarcastically] “Oh, yeah. Yeah, you just flip into the scene kid. No, you just walk in.” He does it. A standing flip, jump, flip, land. Even Chris Evans was like, “What…what happened?” - Kevin Feige, producer and President of Marvel
You hire Spider-Man and you freaking got Spider-Man.
Come on Chris, Steve Rogers would have believed he could do it!!!
