taika: here’s this neat symbolism of thor being sent down the same path of his father, shown by losing his eye and having the eyepatch, but instead he chose to be a better man than his father was. also his hammer gets destroyed because he never really needed it, it was just a channel for his powers, and he’s far more powerful without it.
russo brothers: ……………………………….. okay heres a robot eye and an axe
Reblogging for @iunia-kallistrate excellent tag commentary:
#the russo brothers are having the joss whedon problem#joss’ shit was innovative when he started#(performative) feminism 101 on TV in Sci-fi then#was huge#but now we’re all in (actual) feminism 405 and that 101 stuff is tired#the Russo brother’s were kings of the superhero scene when the only bar they had to surpass was Whedon’s#and so they went and did social and moral conflicts 101 stories featuring white men and their sidekicks#but then we got Tiaka and Ryan Coogler#who write social and moral conflict on the graduate level and not the undergrad freshman intro level#and both of them surpassing Whedon’s so called feminism to boot#not that its hard#but you’ve got Tiaka over her writing a female character who can go toe to toe with the boys w/o it being about how sexy she is#Valkyrie is on fire but its not about them#Even the Grandmaster’s little crush is meant to show us how badass she is and not how hot she is#Then you get Ryan Coogler out her writing a fucking dissertation on intersectional feminism and the patriarchy of the diaspora#How are we supposed to go back to the Russo brothers after that#When they refuse to accept that the game has changed and try to break what was built to fit their tired concepts#the same Whedon ignored their character building in Ultron#like kids who brake their own toys because they don’t want their siblings to play
