"It's so often that you make a film and you put your heart and soul into it and you really care about it and you think it's half decent, then you turn up and say, 'Does anyone want to see it?' and maybe nobody does. We're lucky that we already have people who love the characters as much, if not more, than we do. I find it so thrilling that there's a pre-existing passion for the material in a way and it's a privelidge to have people who care so much, rather than being paralyzed by a fear of what they might think, and it's fun and a challenge to deliver what you hope they might enjoy."

- Tom Hiddleston (Loki)

Often I hear people writing ideas off just because they've been done before. "If you want to attract people to your roleplay, don't just make another POC or family. Do something unique that I haven't seen," they say. "I don't want to play a knight, I don't want to play a human, that's boring."

This is me saying that there's nothing wrong with an idea that somebody else has already had. There's nothing wrong with taking an idea people already knew and loved before you came along and trying to make your own best version of it. Sometimes that can be even better than a brand new idea that has to warm people up.

I don't know about you guys, but Avengers was possibly the best movies I've ever seen. It's definitely the only movie I ever paid to see in theaters more than once.
