Tweet: “I know Seeking Power is the Hip Villain Thing to do, but I periodically question dark lord priorities, bc the idea of being in charge of EVEN MORE STUFF than I already am makes me want to lie down & die, whereas I’d prob sacrifice babies to blood gods for a sabbatical?

New tweet: “sure, you could rule the galaxy, but you could also nap for a million hours, & one of those options would involve way fewer meetings, I’m just saying, Lord God-King McBroods-a-Lot”

New tweet: “…every time a villain’s like ‘I SHALL COMMAND MILLIONS’ I’m like, ‘bitch, you ever so much as led like a 6-person team? YOU DON’T WANT TO MULTIPLY THAT NUMBER. TRUST. THE CONFERENCE CALLS WILL NEVER END.”

Reply: “LISTEN! Folks WILL reply all!!! You don’t want this. I really questioned Hela on this point.”

Reply: “OMG YES. like, girl, if you really want to punish your brothers, put them in charge of mandatory meetings through lunch that could as easily be a 3-line email, tell them they’re responsible for ‘Asgardian team building,’ & peace out before 5″]

Monster of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley: “Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemblance. Satan had his companions, fellow-devils, to admire and encourage him; but I am solitary and abhorred.”

btw what I loved about valkyrie’s plot in Ragnarok is that it was such a male plot usually? she rolls up drunk, shoots up a bunch of people, owns thor, sells him, then we realise she is drowning her sorrows and is actually a fallen hero, and she then gets a redemption ark???? is that not every male outlaw with a heart of gold???

Anyone else tired of the 3 guy 1 girl character setup in literally every movie ever?

It’s because at roughly that ratio is where men feel that men and women are represented equally.

There was a study done and when there was 1:1 male/female the male audiences felt as though there were more too many women. In general the men studied perceived things like 3 guys to 1 girl as more representative of the world.

That disgusts me.

There have also been studies in which it was found that men think women talk much more than they actually do – if they have to share equal air time with a woman they think they’re not getting a word in edgewise.

Imagine being so used to privilege and prioritization to think that the equal treatment of others is an unfairness to you.
