These 15 Tweets Make Living In The Marvel Universe Seem Insane
This post has not been vetted or endorsed by BuzzFeed's editorial staff. BuzzFeed Community is a place where anyone can create a post or quiz. Try making your own! Community · Living in the world of Earth's mightiest heroes can lead to the goofiest situations. This is for the Canada Junior Writer. This tweet appeared on my timeline last week, encouraging others to tweet as if they are in the Marvel Universe. Here are the most unserious retweets: 1. Starting off, dating in the Marvel Universe is tricky because looks can be deceiving: 2. The Human Torch can set relationships on fire as well: 3. On the bright side, in a world where Daredevil and She-Hulk are lawyers, clients being attracted to them is part of their job: 4. The average person can't have a day of peace with petty supervillains around every corner: 5. Just ask this guy as well. Ultron: robotic supervillain and internet menace: 6. Thoughts on these supervillains can make any family gathering super awkward: 7. If a politician also seems off, they might just be a shapeshifting alien from outer space: 8. At least Hulk smashing means taking time off: 9. Even with the perks of working in the Marvel Universe, nothing is worse than your employer being Doctor Doom: 10. When it comes to secret identities, having your mind blown happens far more often than you think: 11. For context, mutie is a slur for mutants in the Marvel Universe: 12. A variant of the infamous Jeremy Renner app might exist in this reality: 13. Speaking of Hawkeye, he might not be the best Avenger to send out when the city is in danger: 14.

Why Jameela Jamil thinks we have Stockholm syndrome — for the patriarchy
Jameela Jamil's bold advocacy has won her legions of fans — and critics — all over the world. Source: Getty / Jacopo Raule This article contains references to eating disorders. Jameela Jamil is the first to admit she's not perfect. In fact, it's something the English actor, writer, podcaster, and advocate actively embraces. "Women have this pressure that is put upon us — and then we put upon ourselves — that we have to be perfect from the start," she says ahead of her "very fun, very unfiltered" Australian speaking tour. Best known for her roles in The Good Place and Marvel's She-Hulk, Jamil has garnered a loyal following for her direct, passionate, and often humorous commentary on everything from body image, mental health, and gender equality to , disability, and LGBTIQ+ rights. Her anti-perfectionist stance has made her something of a poster girl for it. "I think the reason I've made it quite far in my life for someone who came from nothing and didn't know anyone, had no connections, is because I have the audacity of a man," says Jamil. I have the audacity to know that it's not my responsibility to be perfect when I just start trying something for the first time. "I don't know if I'm going to be good at it, but I throw myself in and I am proud of myself for that." It's an attitude that the 39-year-old credits with giving her a life that's a far cry from the "dignified" one she envisioned when she was younger. A chance encounter with a producer in a London pub in 2008 led Jamil, who was working as an English teacher, to land a job as a TV presenter. She later moved into radio presenting, becoming the first female solo host of BBC Radio 1's Official Chart show, before upping sticks to Los Angeles to pursue screenwriting. It was there, after securing her first-ever acting role in 2016 as British socialite Tahani Al-Jamil in the hit TV series The Good Place, that she found global fame. But as her profile increased, so did her impulse to speak out. "I don't know how to not say anything," she says. "It doesn't feel like there's a choice whether or not you can say something when you see injustice." Jamil's growing frustration with women's value being measured by a number on the scale led the self-described "feminist-in-progress" to found the I Weigh movement in 2018. "If you want something to change, if you complain about a problem, then surely it would only make sense, logically, to try and do something about it?" she says of her advocacy efforts. Beginning as a social media campaign encouraging people to publicly celebrate their achievements and contributions to society rather than focus on their size or appearance, I Weigh later evolved into a "community allyship platform". It was relaunched last year as Move For Your Mind. While Jamil's unashamed outspokenness and advocacy have been praised by many and led to plaudits such as being named one of Time magazine's 25 most influential people in 2019, she cringes at being put on a pedestal or viewed as "some type of guru or master". It's not a call to arms … I'm more trying to start big, public conversations about [these issues] so we can stop just being lulled into submission all of the time. "It's normal to care. It's not normal to not care." Naturally, there have been questions about whether a statuesque, conventionally attractive cisgender woman (Jamil's name literally means "beautiful" in Arabic) in Hollywood is qualified to speak about issues like diet culture and fatphobia, particularly when much of the associated harm is perpetuated by celebrities and influencers. Jamil acknowledges she is more privileged than most. At the same time, she has experienced firsthand the long-term harm that comes with trying to meet unrealistic and ever-changing beauty standards, as well as how brutally women, particularly those in the public eye, can be treated for simply existing. Early in her career, Jamil was subject to tabloid scrutiny in the UK, which criticised her for being too thin and then later mocked her for gaining weight as a result of medication she was taking. At the same time, she was battling an eating disorder that had developed in her teens, something Jamil says has caused lasting damage to her bone density, digestive system, kidneys, liver, and heart. She says part of the pull to conform to beauty standards stems from an underlying desire to belong. "There's this feeling of 'I'll be left behind if I don't obey the group and do the thing that will allow me to be included,' because it's real that if you are skinnier or you look younger or you have pretty privilege, you're more likely to be included." As well as speaking publicly about the racism, classism and appearance-based abuse she experienced growing up — including being "very violently" bullied for being South Asian — Jamil has been vocal about the impact of multiple chronic health conditions she's experienced throughout her life, such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, mercury poisoning and coeliac disease. Her propensity to be an "open book" about her life has sometimes come back to bite her. In 2020, a string of Instagram posts went viral, alleging Jamil had fabricated details about her injuries and illnesses. The author of the posts even went so far as to suggest Jamil had Munchausen syndrome, a mental disorder in which a person fakes or exaggerates illness to gain attention and sympathy. Jamil publicly refuted the claims, as did her long-term partner, musician James Blake, saying they highlighted how people with chronic health conditions and invisible disabilities are often disbelieved. While Jamil has endured her fair share of trolling and abuse online, not all of the criticism levelled at her has been unjustified. One such example is her past "slut-shaming" of other female celebrities, including Miley Cyrus, Beyonce, and Rihanna. Jamil says she regrets some of the things she's said and how she's said them and takes accountability for that. "But you can regret something and still be glad that you did it because that's how I learned what to do differently next time," she says of how she used to communicate online. "If I hadn't made those mistakes, I wouldn't have then gone on to go, 'Oh, okay, I actually need to change course', and this has made me a better and wiser person." In fact, self-accountability has become a core tenet of Jamil's advocacy. Amid the rise of far-right extremism around the world, infighting among the left, and some hard-won rights and freedoms, particularly for women, "taking a huge backswing", Jamil's belief that "perfection is the enemy of progress" is perhaps more vital than ever. "We don't really have time for everyone to wait to be the perfect feminist or the perfect activist," she says. You just have to scrap in now before we end up in a bunch of red coats with white bonnets. It's no surprise to Jamil that the recent sociopolitical regression, particularly in the US, has coincided with thinness being glamorised once again and the increasing normalisation of and , largely pedalled via social media. Rather, she says, it's "by design". "The only reason any grown adult man would want a grown adult woman to look and behave and have the body of a barely pubescent girl is to keep her small in every way; make sure she's not eating enough so she's not got the strength to fight for her rights, make sure she's consumed and worried and panicking over every tiny 'imperfection' on her face so she's distracted, she doesn't have time to organise; make sure she's not sleeping enough, make sure she's got low self-esteem." But Jamil says she's perplexed why, after so much positive progress around things like fat liberation, body positivity, feminism, and understanding the misogynistic roots of beauty standards, women are still willing to comply. "It's honestly creeped me out watching grown women in 2025 lap it up again as if we learned nothing in the last 10 years," she says while also emphasising she supports people's right to do what they want to their own bodies. "It's like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind happened, and everyone's brains just got wiped of everything that we all collectively discussed, because we have Stockholm syndrome for the patriarchy — and we have to just own that." Jamil, admittedly, isn't entirely immune to the pressure to conform. "There's no way I would wear the dresses I wear if I didn't live with a man that I wanted to sleep with. I would be wearing much more comfortable clothes, I wouldn't wash my hair, I don't think I'd brush my teeth," she says with a laugh. "We're all guilty of it — but to what extent are you willing to punish or risk your body, your life, and your mental and physical health for a patriarchal standard?" The beauty and diet industry will always make sure that you feel like a pig, no matter what you do. The cyclical and, at times dangerous nature of beauty standards is largely why Jamil has sworn off undergoing cosmetic surgery and treatments, such as . Like imperfection, ageing naturally and entering her "crone era" is something she's actively embracing — and hopes to inspire others to do as well. ('Crone era' is a term used in some feminist circles to describe a phase marked by the wisdom of age.) "I want my 85-year-old self to like who I am now. I want her to feel like I was looking out for her, that I was excited for her arrival, and I wasn't dreading it, and doing everything I could to avoid it. "I don't want to preserve youth forever … These wrinkles that I'm getting are ones that have been formed from me frowning and figuring out how f**ked the world is, and I'm glad for them. They're lines of wisdom." With so much heaviness in the world right now, Jamil's focusing her energy on injecting more humour into her work. "Everything's getting too dark. It's too dark. I can't take it anymore. I'm going to explode," she says. Next month, she's launching a new comedy podcast, Wrong Turns, which will feature "some of the funniest people in the world" sharing their "best disaster stories". "Every time you hear about something terrible or embarrassing happening to someone, there's always this need for us to turn it into an inspirational, teachable moment … [but] sometimes you don't get wiser. "Sometimes things are just shit, and we need to accept that and laugh about it." An Evening with Jameela Jamil will take place at Sydney's State Theatre on 26 April, Brisbane's QPAC Concert Hall on 27 April, and Melbourne's Hamer Hall on 28 April.

‘Weapons' Trailer Teases Children Vanishing in Horror Film From ‘Barbarian' Director Zach Cregger
The teaser trailer for Weapons shows a number of children fleeing their homes in writer-director Zach Cregger's horror feature. Warner Bros. releases the film in theaters Aug. 8. The cast includes Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Benedict Wong and Amy Madigan. More from The Hollywood Reporter Comedy 'Don't Tell Larry,' Led by 'She-Hulk' Actress Patty Guggenheim, Gets Summer Release (Exclusive) Ari Aster's Chaotic 'Eddington' Trailer Connects Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone Box Office: 'Minecraft' Mints More Gold With $80.6M, 'King of Kings' Leads New Films With $19M The multi-story narrative for Weapons centers on a small town where children have been disappearing late at night. 'Those kids walked out of the homes,' a character says somberly via voiceover in the trailer. 'No one pulled them out. No one forced them.' Cregger, Roy Lee, J.D. Lifshitz, Raphael Margules and Miri Yoon serve as producers. In early 2023, The Hollywood Reporter reported that New Line won a fierce bidding war for Cregger's spec script for Weapons, with the filmmaker landing eight figures to write and direct. Led by Georgina Campbell, Bill Skarsgard and Justin Long, Barbarian hit theaters in 2022 and became a cult hit, surpassing $45 million at the global box office. Cregger hit the CinemaCon stage in Las Vegas earlier this month to share the first footage from Weapons. During the presentation, New Line boss Richard Brener described the movie as 'intriguing and unpredictable, with a nice helping of batshit insane.' The director got his start in Hollywood as a member of the comedy group The Whitest Kids U' Know, and his acting credits include starring roles on the series Dads With Kids and Wrecked. Next up, Cregger is writing and directing a reboot of the Resident Evil franchise, with THR reporting last month that the film is eyeing Weapons star Abrams for the lead.
