Do you like Sebastian Stan? Do you like Sebastian Stan smirking like an asshole while sliding on his sunglasses? Do you like Sebastian Stan in a tracksuit? Do you like Sebastian Stan out of all of his clothes entirely? If so, you may enjoy The Bronze.
I’m not going to talk about the movie in general here, although this is the summary from the Sundance website just so you know what’s up:
In 2004, Hope Ann Greggory became an American hero after winning the bronze medal for the women’s gymnastics team. Today, she’s living in her father’s basement in her small hometown—washed up, largely forgotten, and embittered. Stuck in her past glory, Hope is forced to reassess her life when a promising young gymnast who idolizes her threatens her local celebrity status. Will she mentor the adoring, hopeful protégé, take her down, or both?
Some thoughts on Sebastian Stan’s parts in the movie beneath the cut, and please be warned there are SPOILERS:
Because I’m tired of the “Steve sucks at modern technology” trope. He was picking up and using HYDRA tech that was powered by the tesseract in WWII. And user interfaces were pretty un-intuitive back then — knobs labeled in German or French, most likely. And think about the number of dials and thingamabobs on an airplane control panel! Yes, he’s a man out of time, but it’s probably the social stuff that’s much harder to adjust to. (You can tell he’s recently-thawed because he still insists on wearing at least a button-down shirt and suspenders when out in public.)
Wednesday Spoilers is a catch-all warning for “comics that came out this week”. Most comics do have monthly issues, but not all comics come out on the same day of the month. New comics always come out on Wednesdays, however, and there are new comics every Wednesday, so tagging “wednesday spoilers” is a way of saying “this is a spoiler for the issues that were out last Wednesday that you may not have bought/read yet”.
Like, the first Wednesday of the month you might get Spider-man and Hawkeye, second Wednesday Ms. Marvel and Daredevil, third Wednesday She-Hulk and Angela: Asgard’s Assassin, fourth Wednesday Deadpool and Spiderwoman. But “wednesday spoilers” can apply to any of those, depending on week, and lets people who can’t get their comics on Wednesday easily block spoilers.

Someone, please draw Sam as a fairy with a sparkly dress made out of comic book covers. Please.
I googled “golden retriever in a fairy costume”. I was not disappointed with the results.
The 17 000 km journey takes about 327 hours. That’s over 13-and-a-half days. [x]
ROAD TRIP!
Bring lots of snacks. And no babies.
I scrolled past this, just thinking ‘oh, yeah, babies crying for two weeks would be annoying’. And then I saw that it was @copperbadge who reblogged it and my mind went to The Snowpiercer Place. Sam, no.
