The Flying V and Avengers: Doomsday

Leave a reply

When I was younger, I used to love the Mighty Ducks movies. They were quirky and fun and made me wish I could rollerblade. I attempted several times but the fears of breaking bones, which I’ve never done, put me off from putting any serious effort into it. See also, why I don’t ride bikes.

So, for the uninitiated, the flying V is a move they pull in the Mighty Ducks where they skate towards the opposing team’s goal in a V formation. Passing the puck between them so the goalie doesn’t know who’s going to take the shot. They then score a goal because the goalie is just bad at his job. Here’s the video:

It takes the opposing teams three movies to realize they can just bum rush the ducks and beat their asses and the whole thing falls apart.

When it happens in the third movie, it means something. That the old tricks don’t work and they’re outclassed. Pretty simple.

But what I want is for that to happen in Avengers: Doomsday. In one of the biggest scenes in history in Avengers: Endgame, we saw every hero we got to know over a decade of movies join together for a charge against Thanos’ forces. It’s this enormous shot and they eventually win in the end. It truly is the epitome of the word, epic.

So, in Avengers: Doomsday, I think they should do it again. And the Avengers should fucking fail. That would show that this is a new threat that’s beyond anything they’ve seen before. Also, I think it would only be right that Doom is that big of a threat.

I still think it’s stupid that it’s Robert Downey Jr. It should be literally anyone else. Perhaps someone of Romani heritage like the character is supposed to be.

Why did they send their ducks to war?

I went to Great Adventure this weekend and I got to meet Daffy Duck. I thanked him for fighting Hitler. But then I had a thought that both Daffy and Donald went to war against the fuhrer.

I know that there are images of Donald doing the heil but those are from a nightmare he had to sell war bonds. He later went on to fight in the navy. Daffy confronted Hitler directly, smashing his skull with a hammer.

My question is why? We know that they’re both true Americans for fighting against fascism. But why did Disney and Warner Bros specifically send their ducks? We also know that Donald has PTSD from his time in the war, hence why he flies off the handle so often.

But maybe that’s it. Maybe they saw the intrinsic traits of both ducks and knew that they could handle the mental load of taking life. Daffy has always been full of himself. Maybe he had an internal competition to fight as many Nazis as possible. Working his way up to confront the fuhrer personally. Fuck giving Captain America the shield, give it to Daffy. Or at least have them tag team him like Bucky and Cap did to Iron Man.

Donald though knew that being a duck he was uniquely positioned to work with the navy. If the ship goes down, he can provide aid to his fellow soldiers. His official rank in the armed forces is a sergeant in the military. Maybe he was on special assignment.

In conclusion, these ducks did their part. They saw injustice and they rose against it.

This Kid Definitely Grew Up To Be a Psychopath

I’ve had problems with the Homeward Bound movies since I saw them as kids. The first one is an absolutely beautiful movie that still can make me weep as a nearly forty year old man. The scene where Shadow falls in the hole and then gives up. Then they fake you out that he didn’t get out of the hole and died down there. This movie was hardwired to wound me. Oh and even before this, they send a cat down a waterfall! So, hey even if you’re more of a cat person, they’re going to harm you too.

Chance, Shadow and Sassy and the sound of me sobbing

Homeward Bound 2: Lost in San Francisco introduces three of cinema’s greatest monsters. If you’ve never seen this movie that’s over thirty years old at this point, the pets from the first movie are lost again but now instead of the wilderness, they’re in San Francisco. They’re befriended by a group of dogs led by Riley.

Who’s a good boy?

Riley has a deep distrust of humans because he was given as a Christmas gift to a little boy. But for some reason the little boy was born with evil in his heart and ignores the beautiful puppy before him.

Look at his little bow!

The parents have already made the dumb mistake of giving the boy an animal as a gift without discussing it with him first. But they further show why they raised a monster because they’re monsters themselves! Instead of taking the dog back to where they got him and admitting they’re fucking idiots, they make him a customized box to dump him in the gutter on the coldest and rainiest night of the year according to the narration.

Go fuck yourselves.

I could have posted a pic of Riley in the box with his bow still on but hey, you don’t need to cry today. I had to carry that burden. These people would cut funding for Mr. Freeze’s wife if they got the chance. They make supervillains. If Riley went White God on the city of San Francisco, I wouldn’t like it for the innocent citizens of that beautiful city but I would get it.
