[Interesting trope] Evil Kids. Not supernatural, possessed, powers, etc. "They could be any one of us/Never saw the signs" type of kids.

  1. Henry Evans (The Good Son) 12-year-old Henry couldn't give much of a damn. Causes the deaths of almost everyone around just because he can. Wants to be the only person that his mother loves so he kills his baby brother, attempts to kill his little sister and eventually tries to kill his own cousin. Cunning, Manipulative, self-centered, and a psychopath.

  2. The Bad Seed. Rhoda (her names is sometimes changed in other adaptations). Murderous, sociopathic 8-year-old girl. Also a manipulator. Kills the family dog, a neighbor, a classmate, etc and doesn't feel any empathy or remorse for her actions.

  3. Luke Lerner (Better Watch Out): Probably the most evil one of all my examples, Luke comes across as your typical tween. At first, he and his babysitter are being stalked by a masked intruder but it turns out the masked intruder was Luke's best friend and the plan was to have Luke take down the "intruder" so it looks as if he saved his babysitter from danger. Long story short, becomes Evil Kevin McCallister by covering his entire house in booby traps, smart as hell but also a coward, kills 2 of his babysitter's friends, kills his own best friend and tries to sexually assault his babysitter (who he loves dearly and wants to be with her). When he realizes that she probably won't be with him after everything that's happened, he attempts to kill her, then quickly cleans up the entire house so that it looks like a burglary happened while he was sleep. He might get away with his crimes, but he also may not since the movie ends with the babysitter still being alive, being taken to the hospital,

  4. Jamie Miller (Adolescence) In a most recent entry of this trope. 13-year-old Jamie Miller is basically what happens when Red Pills and Incel culture hit at a young age. Having been radicalized by the media and the internet, Jamie unknowingly went to the darkest corner of the internet and became a wrathful misogynist who looked down on women, though he would readily deny he was part of Incel subculture of a believer of Andrew Tate. Mood swings changes like the seasons. Ends up killing a classmate after she rejected him asking her out. Tried to get away with his crimes but ultimately abandoned it and was planning on pleading guilty to his crimes.

Watching Backrooms on HBO Max. Am I tripping??

There is like 15 minutes of movie left after the end credits. Naren (the guy from the beginnings) and other Hazmat Suits workers are exploring the backrooms and they see a bunch of “Everything Must Go“ signs And they’re basically documenting everything that they are seeing. Takes place in June 1990.

Was this part of the original theatrical movie release or is it only exclusive for HBO Max?? genuinely never seen this before! I mean I’m into it and intrigued, but like I said never seen this footage before?

Edit: It’s the Extended Everything Must Go version of the movie. But I also find it interesting that Max has the EMG footage by itself if you go to Extras under the Backrooms movie lol

[Loved Trope] The seemingly normal civilian becomes an Avengers-level threat

  1. Brandon Breyer is your average kid who discovers that he is actually an alien ala Superman. He LITERALLY possess all of Superman's powers EXCEPT for X-ray vision and freeze breath. He becomes Brightburn throughout the movie, striving to take over the world (which the movie ends with the start of that goal) with seemingly no one on his level to stop him.

  2. Bob from Thunderbolts is an addict, who is not physically and mentally strong at all. He becomes Sentry who is stronger than all the 6 original Avengers combined and then so. Able to fight off the Thunderbolts with ease and then later on, becomes The Void who sends the city into chaos by dissolving it all into shadows and making every citizen go through traumatic memory rooms.

  3. The Spot was the result of a freak accident. Tried to be normal, but his family rejected him. He's very casual, approachable and will have a full on coversation with you, joking and whatnot, and thinks himself to be Spider-Man's greatest nemesis. Goes on a journey of self-improvement and becomes a global multiversal threat all because Miles called him a "barely a villain of the week"

  4. Buddy Pine, Promoted Fanboy. Smart, geeky as hell, able to make his own machines and weapons. Goes off the deep end and kills so many superheroes so that he could embarrass and kill Mr. Incredible and become the richest person in the world and sell his weapons so that everyone can be super

If I had a nickel for every time Krondon was wasted as Tombstone, I'd have 2 nickels

Into the Spider-Verse, that's fine, though Tombstone is mostly always portrayed as being the leader of his gang, but being the right hand to Kingpin ain't so bad. Krondon probably has only 2 lines in Into the Spider-Verse, you'd be forgiven if you didn't know he voiced him.

Then he plays Tombstone in live action, the 2nd live action incarnation of Tombstone....and again only has 1 line of dialogue, and 5 seconds of screen time.

Since Kingpin looks to be connected to Daredevil more than ever these days, Tombstone could've been a great equivalent for Spider-Man like how Kingpin is to Daredevil.

[Mixed Trope] That wasn't the main villain. THIS is the main villain!

  1. Dean Cipher and Goldokin in Gen V Season 2. Cipher is the main threat for the majority of Gen V until Episode 7 reveals that it's been Goldolkin who is still alive and who has been mind controlling Cipher this whole time (who is just some random guy name Doug). This kinda made some of the fans mad as they liked Cipher more than Goldokin.

  2. Cottonmouth and Diamondback (Luke Cage): Cottonmouth and Luke Cage's back and forth was the best part of the first season. Mahershala Ali absolutely excelled in the role, but to everyone surprised, he dies by the hands of his cousin in Episode 7 and come to find out, we have 6 more episodes to go and we're introduced to Diamondback, the REAL main villain of the first season and who has a more personal vendetta against Cage. Notoriously to this day, still fans upset that Cottonmouth was replaced with Diamondback

  3. Saber (Bill Nighy) and Speckles (Mole) (G-Force) This whole time, the G-Force are trying to shut down the SABER corporation led by the CEO, Leonard Saber who was turning household appliances into killing machines. But in actuality, Saber had no idea that his household appliances were being turned into killing machines because he was being manipulated and tampered with a mysterious benefactor Mr. Yanshu, who is actually revealed to be Speckles the Mole, a former member and friend of the G-force.

Shang-Chi came out 5 years ago!

Will be rewatching today. I cannot wait to see him in Doomsday! The soundtrack, the visuals, Simi Liu, Awkafina, and Tony Leung were fantastic!

That Bus Fight is still Top 10 of my favorite Post-Endgame fights scenes! Can’t believe we haven’t gotten a sequel yet, tho I know it’s because of circumstances

Do you prefer the Falcon and Winter Soldier Suit or the Brave New World Suit?

Me personally, Falcon and Winter Soldier suit all day. Sucks he only wore it for an episode and the opening fight scene for BNW.

I’m rewatching Wandavision and wanted to ask how does Darcy know so much about Vision?

Vision doesn’t remember anything before Westview but Darcy fills him in and basically gives a cliffnotes version of what he is and how he died, right down to telling him he’s a mix of AIs in Jarvis and Ultron and she knows that Vision told Wanda to kill him if it had to come to that.

How would Darcy know that Vision is a combination of Jarvis and Ultron? And how would she know that Wanda had to sacrifice Vision, specifically how would she know that Vision told Wanda to kill him?

if it was SWORD or Hayward then how would they know??

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the original trilogy do something similar to this?

Basically I'm an old school VK, not following anything Red related, but wasn't there something like this for the marketing of first movies where they spreading secrets and rumors about the kids at Auradon Prep and were targeting the VKs too but we never found out who it was. Or am I completely tripping??

Billy saying what everybody's thinking 😂

I'm so glad I rewatched Agatha All Along last month. Since 2024, I thought that the show was actually trying to make Agatha and Rio relationship goals or they need to get back together or something, but actually if I'm watching and analyzing this right, the relationship is clearly one-sided. Agatha doesn't want anything to do with Rio and I understand. she took her son away from her!

Day 5 of MCU Deleted Scenes: Steve Adjusts to Modern World

The MCU has an abundance of deleted scenes, some that were unnecessary, some that actually strengthen some of the story/plot of their respective movies, or just jokey/gags that were never meant to be in the film in the first place.

This is the 5th deleted scene that I've found, from The Avengers. Actually suggested by u/Jet-Let4606. Steve looks through files and discovers Howard Stark is dead and his son Tony Stark has become Iron Man. He goes to a cafe and shows some excellent drawing skills if i do say so myself, and this would've been the introduction to that Waitress (the one played by Ashley Johnson who shows up randomly at the final battle) and an extended Stan Lee cameo too! Always nice to find more Stan Lee gems.

I think it's nice to see just how fish out of water Steve is. I love this more personal introduction to him more than the Punching Bag Intro. And of course if this scene was included, it would've given us more time with Ashley Johnson's character before she just randomly shows up in the final battle of New York. It was weird how the camera kept spending time on her.

If I had to guess why it was deleted, the pacing is the biggest issue. It's like 2-3 minutes of Steve wondering around and traveling. So I can see why it was deleted. Maybe if they'd trimmed it down some, it could've fit better.

Just found out that Emily Hampshire (Stevie from Schitt's Creek herself!) is playing the human form of E.D.I.T.H in VisionQuest

Photos are from Empire, showing Emily on the set of Visionquest. Never did I think that a Schitts Creek actor would show up in the MCU. That's so bizzare. I'm rewatching Wandavision for the 4th time, I can't wait. Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany really do a fantastic job here. It's great.
