SPOILERS AHEAD

my initial thoughts after watching this film were all over the place cause i was hopped up on excitement and pride and all of the feelings, so it's a couple days later and i still wanna go and see this movie six more times in theatre. every time i try and describe how good this movie was or how it made me feel i just get excited again and all the eloquent words i had planned to say fly out of my head. i'll preface that i know next to nothing about martial arts or fighting in general, but visually all of the fight scenes were amazing. the first fight scene with wen wu and ying li was beautiful. and then seeing shang qi bring the two fighting styles that his mother and father taught him in order to defeat his father was a monumental moment. i would pay extra to watch the final fight scene between shang qi and wen wu, watching shang qi slowly take control of the rings only to disregard them, desperate for his father to stop. aside from the fight scenes the characters and emotions in this film were astounding, tiny leung's portrayal of wen wu from this power hungry tyrant to a caring husband to a grief stricken warrior was mesmerising. meng'er zhang was fascinating to watch on screen and is definitely up there on the list of best marvel women. her determination to be better than ever man to deny her is empowering and her costumes are great, definitely would dress up as her for halloween if i had a reason to. katy is a great character she works as the character relief, a place holder for the audience to align themselves with, but also she was an interesting character to see develop. and finally shang qi, mr simu liu himself. from wongfu productions, asian bachelorette 2, to being a guest on jknews, to a freaking marvel movie. it was beyond fascinating to watch this character be introduced and then developed, words can't describe the pride i feel watching this film and to see simu liu front lining the whole this is incredible. this damaged character who didn't let his trauma define him and the way he treated people, a character that defied who is was made to be and instead lived with kindness and respect and humility. to see his inner struggle of giving into who he was taught to be by the two most influential people in his life and how to balance the two teachings. then to see him liberate himself, with help from ying nan, by combining the two parts of himself into one. and then to see him become a better fighter than his father. words can't describe. to see the differing ways that they each use the rings, with wen wu's harsh whip like lashings opposing shang qi's rings moving fluidly. then to see shang qi gain control of all of the rings, i had to physically cover my mouth to stop my self from being loud. this film is fascinating on so many levels and i thing the only thing i regret about this film is not being able to connect to it on a deeper level as a result of my own distance to my culture. i will definitely be watching this again whether it be in cinema and or i'll be waiting the rest of the 45 days to watch it on disney+. i could talk about the disadvantages this film has had to deal with, from the lack of marketing in marvel's part, to the bias this film was already receiving being released in a time where asians are already being heavily discriminated against, but then i would be here all day. overall this film ticked all the boxes and more and is absolutely in my top 3 marvel films.

You better watch out, ‘cause it’s my time. You woke up the tiger.

Trapped Family in Gaza Appeals for Help to Survive

A Plea for Help from Gaza: A Family Seeking Safety

Hello, I am Rehab Shamia from a family of 4 members.

We live in the midst of the ongoing hellish war in Gaza, trapped between walls of fear and despair.

Rehab's challenge in the face of hunger and cold

A Struggle for Survival

light of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, we went through very difficult circumstances. We were displaced several times. We lost our house, which I had paid for with all my savings, to the enemy's bombs shortly after our first displacement. We lost all the beautiful things that my family and I used to enjoy, and the most difficult beautiful thing we lost was safety in peace, due to the violent bombing that surrounded us in all the places to which we fled.

to say the least, our days were difficult, as there were no viable sources of employment to obtain the money we needed to meet our needs.

Our situation is especially dire because my wife was born in the war, I have an infant and a 5-year-old and we are still stuck in a tent where there is no healthy food, no medicine, no water and no electricity. During the process of displacement, we lost the stable and recreational life that we used to live with me, the family, and the child, Ayham, who lost all the toys that he loved and played with all the time, and was deprived of the beautiful

childhood that he lived in the first days of his childhood. My wife, who is constantly tired and exhausted,

moving from one tent to another, is slowly sliding towards despair. Every nature of life, from a beautiful house to a tent in the middle of the street, a place to sleep. I need your help in raising money to leave the Gaza Strip.

need to raise money to restore a beautiful life and stability outside the Gaza Strip Everything I tell leaves only a small amount of the suffering we are experiencing. Below is a glimpse of the contrast between our lives before the aggression and the nightmare we've been enduring since it began. Thank you for your support and solidarity

Please do not hesitate to donate to me and my family. A small donation from you makes a big difference.

With deepest respect and gratitude,

The cast of “Eternals” behind the scenes of the film.

I think the worst possible outcome of tumblr getting popular again would be twitter types registering complaints about being told to get devoured by swarms of ravenous bees over their lame opinions, and staff feeling an obligation to ban threats of violence or whatever.
