remember the Son of Neptune book where Hazel describe Percy and he was so RIDICULOUSLY powerful and beautiful and terrifying she thought he was god and my son is honestly so strong and must be a horrific enemy and a force to be feared
…but we forget because we know his inner dialogue is 50% “fuck fuck fuck AHHHHHHHHH well shit” and the other 50% is “I have no idea what’s going on but let’s just roll with it and hope I survive”
And honestly Percy Jackson is 10/10 the most relatable fake adult millennial to ever bluff his way through life. A true icon. The hero our generation deserves.
tony, talking about steve: he’s just,, so big, you know? so wide. triangular. like a dorito. the cool ranch kind, not the nacho cheese. i love the sound of his laugh. like, we’ll be laying in bed and i’ll say something funny, and he just Erupts and i can feel his laughter in his chest and it makes me feel so Warm-
Yeah Wymack is Kevin’s dad and definitely a father figure for Neil but it doesn’t end there. He may be exhausted and sarcastic and a tough love kind of man but he is a communal father figure.
Nicky’s dad was a homophobic piece of shit??? Wymack isn’t!! He helps him tape his Exy racquet rainbow. It will improve his grip.
Aaron doesn’t have a dad?? No family but Andrew and Nicky and he’s graduating med school??? Wymack is there and he is very proud. Abby is there as well.
Allison’s parents don’t approve of her and Renee and don’t show up to their wedding???? Renee doesn’t have a dad??? Wymack walks them both down the aisle. He goes back and forth. He definitely doesn’t cry.
Dan is amped for her first game as a pro player?? She’s gets free tickets to give to family members but has no one to give them to??? Wymack comes and watches!!!
Matt is stressing over proposing to Dan??? Needs advice??? He calls Wymack and just rambles until he feels better.
Andrew and Neil don’t have anyone to watch the cats while they’re off to some Exy event?? Wymack watches them!! Sir is indifferent to him but King likes him.
Kevin wants to go skiing for the first time? His dad takes him.
What I love/find hilarious about the Iron Man sequels is that, flawed as they are, they’re also the rare superhero films where I remember the character arcs waaay more clearly than the “actual plot”:
IM2 isn’t “IRON MAN vs WHIPLASH,” it’s “IRON MAN vs BEIng so afraid of showing vulnerability that he would literally rather die than admit he needs help”
IM3 isn’t “IRON MAN vs KILLIAN” It’s “IRON MAN vs PTSD AND ANxiety attacks that prevent him from even having normal conversations with his friends”
