As Much As I Agree With All This, I Must Point Out:

As much as I agree with all this, I must point out:

Adrian may be styled to be a thinner nerd type, but he's still played by a very conventionally-attractive (and not particularly scrawny) actor. That's probably what makes him stand out, because he's a hunk/heartthrob given glasses, dark curls, and a goofy personality, and that creates a striking dissonance.

But also, the fact that Freddie has a medium build and more youthful, boyish features than most of the DCEU men is what allows him to plausibly play both a dorky nerd (albeit a distractingly cute one) and a beefy hunk (ie. all his previous roles), and that aesthetic versatility is just not in the cards for the guys who play Batman, Aquaman, Rick Flagg, Peacemaker, etc.

Of course none of this would matter if Freddie hadn't acted the shit out of Vigilante with a performance that was so distinctly different from all his previous work, so most of the credit still goes to him and his talent!

Freddie put his entire Strussy into Vigilante. And what's even better is that in practically everything he was in, he was shirtless. In Peacemaker he wasn't. He was remembered solely for his acting and that just makes me so damn proud of him. He didn't have to whip his shirt off to get people's attention. He did that just by flexing his acting muscles.

He's been in the industry for over a decade. He's dipped his toes in almost every genre you can think of, disregarding if it was a small role or not. The man has picked up skills throughout the years. He's like a good bowl of soup; you get the proper ingredients and start cooking, if you know what you're doing, you end up with a delicious bowl of soup. Freddie is that bowl of soup that everyone wants a taste of. He draws in a hungry crowd.

This this this this this this this this this!! Also having a less conventionally attractive guy (don’t get me wrong, Daniel is hot af) that looks somewhat like me getting love online is so empowering.

If Zemo were ever confirmed to be queer I would be overjoyed. It would mean the goddamn world to me.

I've just noticed that Zemo has become something like a power fantasy character for me.

he's short, with a soft body, and the more 'common' brown hair/eyes. he's also ~vaguely ethnic~ of a general Polish/Czech area like me (even if his ethnicity is made up)

and totally not anything like other mcu characters with their washboard abs and cutting cheekbones and buff arms. or at least none of the ones you're supposed to find sexy.

but Zemo's just so undeniably confident in everything he does it makes me feel giddy with second-hand power. like yeah, I too am not your conventional wet dream, but maybe can strut my love handles in a man's direction with the confidence of a baron who knows that they are the most fuckable thing in a gang with people who look like Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan.

like, damn.

I know he's not actually queer or anything but the thought of a character like that who is also possibly dealing with things like depression and mental illness that doesn't stem from dysphoria or homophobia?? I want more of it pls.

(basically what I'm saying is Zemo has hit classic Disney Villain level representation for me)

im going to try out being a Jonathan-appreciator on main

Imagine if you will:

Jonathan, growing up was a very serious kid.

But he did have his exceptions.

“For the honor of Camelot!” Jonathan held a styrofoam sword high. Five year old Will and Mike copied him with their training twigs .

“Boys, what are you doing?” Joyce laughed, hand over her mouth as she watched the two toddlers copy their instructor.

“For the honor of Camelot!” Mike and Will cheered, voices high and chirpy the way kids who had too much fundip did.

“Training my minions” Jonathan cooed, ruffling the twos hairs. Happy eyes glowed up at him.

“Jonathan you didn’t just call them minions, they’re five!” Joyce wheezed out a giggle and snort.

“What’s a minion?” Will asked Mike, tilting his head.

“I think I heard that word in church once” Mikes face went squished. “I don’t wanna be a choir boy, I wanna fight for the honor of King Arthur!”

Looking back on it, Jonathan could probably believe that he had a small hand in Mike picking up a fire poker and using it as a whole sword when the Hawkins Apocalypse of 1987 started.
