Was looking for something else but

when people say Tigra would never work in live action, I'm like have you ever seen @MCroft07 and her bodypaint cosplays?

can you imagine seeing a Tigra movie starring Tigra looking this comic book accurate

[Tigra Rules! @WorldOfTigra]

neither of these is correct

a Mary Sue is an obvious author insert and has lost all meaning in critical analysis because of overuse and co-opting of its original intent by misogynist internet chuds

oh, well, honestly I have several City of Heroes characters I could write full comics for

I was THAT weirdo, writing full backstories on my superhero IDs

[Tigra Rules! @WorldOfTigra]

seeing people finding Tigra and posting panels is fun for me

and honestly, seeing this and immediately going "Ok, this character is awesome where is her solo comic?" is my happy place

remember how Ivy just juiced Harley up after finding her in the wreckage of the rocket Joker stuck her in and nursed her back to health? made her faster and stronger?

what if Ivy liked her and wanted to be princess carried by her so blam, gave her more muscles

[Tigra Rules! @WorldOfTigra]

as though there weren't always elven princesses and shit for the players to rescue since the very beginning

oh this is sad

I was obsessed with the Maxx when it was on MTV

lot of people are rediscovering Buffy and i find it fascinating

back in the day, most of the Buffy fandom HATED Cordy, they could never get past her being mean in the beginning. They liked Xander. They thought she got what she deserved

this generation perceives her differently

Alison Brie is going to be SO GOOD as Evil-Lyn y'all

[Tigra Rules! @WorldOfTigra]

I prefer Cheetah when she looks more bestial. She's a curse

Tigra, on the other hand, is basically a supernatural super soldier. She's the Captain America of the Cat People, and she's spiritually linked to the Tiger God, an entity on par with the PHOENIX FORCE. not a curse

[Tigra Rules! @WorldOfTigra]

when you're doing a thankless service industry job and someone is genuinely polite and thankful it MEANS something. It can help you get through a day

it costs you nothing to be kind to others

why wouldn't you? What is WRONG with people?

[Tigra Rules! @WorldOfTigra]

counterpoint

fuck Whedon

a show like Buffy wasn't 'his' show, it was an incredible team working together

it succeeded in spite of that egomaniac pedophile, not because of him

again

fuck Whedon

Three historical lessons about bombing campaigns and regime change:

[Robert A. Pape @ProfessorPape]

Lesson 1: Air power rarely produces friendly regime change.
Since WWI, dozens of bombing campaigns have tried to coerce governments from the air. None installed leaders more cooperative with the attacker. Bombing can destroy targets. It does not reliably reshape politics.

[Robert A. Pape @ProfessorPape]

Lesson 2: External attack fuses regime & nation.
Bombing changes a country’s politics. Even people who dislike their leaders don’t want to align with a foreign attacker. If Iran assassinated Trump, would Democrats thank Tehran? Or close ranks?

[Robert A. Pape @ProfessorPape]

Lesson 3: Retaliation is often delayed & asymmetric.
States and groups rarely respond on the attacker’s timeline. Responses may come months or years later — through proxies, terrorism, cyber, or regional escalation. Immediate calm does not mean long-term stability.

Omg if creature commandos is what we can expect from James Gunn's DC universe he might actually turn this shit around

Absolutely phenomenal work by @MarkBrooksArt #Avengers
