Everything Awful. Someone Do Something.

I was scrolling through tumblr and I came across this:





and I made this loud groan/shriek of unhappiness.

I wanted the opposite of this.



Also, tumblr's update is just as terrible and people were saying. It is awful and totally dragging safari down and on the plus side, this may make it really easy to stay OFF tumblr, which can only be good for my time management.

At this point, the thing I'm worried about most is Sif being handed to Thor as a prize. And I fucking hate that.

It reminds me of a post I saw recently about Trek '09 and Spock/Uhura, and how one reason why it was so awesome is because the expectation is that Uhura is going to get together with Kirk. From the beginning, that's the expectation. Then it doesn't happen and neither Uhura or Spock are defined by their relationship to Kirk. That's what I wanted for Sif. I didn't want her to be defined by her relationship with Thor.

That's not to say that I don't think Thor/Sif could be done well and handled respectfully, I'm just not sure I trust the current production staff to look at them as equals.

Plus, I'm bitter because I can't help but think that if women had remained a fundamental part of the production team, this wouldn't be happening with Sif.

Agreed. As a side note, having to watch Kirk and Uhura hook up or have cliched banter and UST while Kirk sluts around was one reason I actually did not originally have much desire to see the movie. YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW DELIGHTED I WAS TO BE WRONG.
