We could have had it aaallllll- pet peeve fandoms

Sorry I'm replying to a fairly old post but HOLY SHIT. HOLY SHIT. I've been rendered incoherent, because goddamn it's the truth.

 

And the Weeping Angels are some of the most unique villains out there! Blink is still regarded as one of the best episodes in the entire gogdamned series! There's still new posts popping up of creepy ass cemetery angels with the same fucking caption.

Do you realize how phenomenal it is to be able to instill spine-crawling horror in thousands of people with two words?! Why would you ruin that?!

Aside, my husband's hobby is finding memes like
"Here's a rose someone left on a beach... (picture of flower)
Here's another one! (Sobbing Rose Tyler gif)"
And I am someday going to strangle him for it.

 

In a better universe, Steven Moffat got hired as on-staff monster-designer, not showrunner.

 

And he was not allowed to write anything related to the companions, ever.

 

He's also required to write all side characters as though they were male, and then once an editor gets the script they roll dice to change the genders at random.

 

and he is banned from romance
even just implying it
ever

 

if i could convey my loathing of moffat and his tenure on doctor who in a single scream, i would turn myself gruesomely inside-out and bring about ragnarok with that scream, that is how fucking angry i am still after like five years I'M STILL SO MAD AAAAAAAA

 

suggestion: please stick moffat and joss whedon in a closet and don't let them out until they kiss

while they're busy carefully explaining to everyone (through the door) how very very very much they don't mind gay people, seriously, they have gay friends, they respect the gays so much, we can all get on with actually enjoying science fiction

 

yeah, SPEAKING of pet peeve media.. so much of whedon's stuff was super important to Tiny Blue and is still important to me, but Jesus Christ the guy does some dumb stuff.

(POINTS TO AGE OF ULTRON WITH HUGE SWEEPING ARM GESTURES)

 

I think the gender rule would probably solve that. Because one of the main things that makes everything he does involving romance so odious is the hella heteronormativity and gender roles, and if he never knows which of his characters will be what gender in the final cut he can't do that.

 

age of ultron was a fucking mess

true that.
seriously, what is with the gender/heteronormativity,, why so much, what the fuuuuck

 

Age of Ultron was such a steaming mess, and I honestly wonder what parts are whose fault. Because some parts are definitely Whedon's and some are probably the executives', but there's a lot of stuff that could go a bunch of ways.

 

I love Dollhouse, but it is a dead dove in an unlabeled paper bag re: ethics and consent, so I can't really defend it.

 

Also it has too much Paul (I don't CARE about your GENERIC PROTAGONIST COP GUY)

 

AGE OF ULTRON WAS A BIZARRE NIGHTMARE/FEVER DREAM OF TONY'S AND DID NOT FUCKING HAPPEN.

HE GOT BLITZED, VISION CAME ABOUT THROUGH THE MYSTICAL POWERS OF DRUNK SCIENCE HANDWAVIUM, AND THE MOVIES JUST MOVE ON FROM THERE.

Clint is still a bachelor in his beloved trashy apartment, Natasha has not been shoved into a nonsensical romance and is instead carefully arranging a possibly aromantic Steve & Bucky Sandwich, and Banner is free to get the fuck on with his life without romantic drama. FITE ME.

 

Headcanon acceptedddd. ... How 'bout Wanda?

 

wanda also just sort of showed up
someone was like, you guys want a psychic magic girl?
and everyone was like SURE WHY NOT

 

ok, sure, I'll go with it. :D

 

She was the one Tony was drinking with and that's why it got so weird. Drunk + psychic powers is... a combination. :::PPP

 

I'm still testy over the Romani-Jewish children of holocaust survivors being made into NAZI VOLUNTEERS. Especially since I'm betting they could have kept nearly everything the same but just made the twins kidnapped from childhood and brainwashed - I mean they were first shown in CATWS, we know HYDRA can do that.
