Bad thoughts can’t touch me . I know so many Pokémon facts to replace any possible bad thoughts with.
“I’m a loser” —> the gen 2 moon ball was supposed to work better on Pokémon that evolved with the moon stone but the item ID was programmed wrong and so it only works better on Pokémon who evolve with a burn heal. Which is none. So it’s a normal pokeball, functionally
Not only do we sit excitedly and watch post-credit scenes that tell us about future Marvel movies,
but we sit and watch the credits.
We look at the mass of names that scroll through of people who worked on the film.
There’s a production assistant who stands for nearly fourteen hours during Infinity War filming in Edinburgh whose task was to ask a waiting crowd to be quiet during a take. Or this PA switched off with another to walk around with snack trays and waters for crew and talent.
There’s a Winter Soldier location scout who walked around all of Cleveland, Ohio looking for the best place for the interior SHIELD headquarters. They used the Cleveland Museum of Art for the glass lobby that Steve Rogers falls through when he jumps from the elevator.
There’s the food caterers for Spider-Man Homecoming who make sure the cast and crew are fed lunch everday.
Fun Fact: No matter if you’re filming from 6 PM to 6 AM, the production company is required to give cast and crew a meal for a 12-14 hour workday. The meal is halfway through the workday. No matter if you’re eating the meal at 2 AM or 2 PM, this meal will always be called “lunch.”
There’s the Scripty. Her job is to sit behind the camera with the director with the script in hand. She knows the script intimately. She makes sure the actors are saying the correct lines and saying them in the correct time. She is in charge of continuity. If a prop is in the wrong hand at the beginning of a take, she’ll let the talent and director know.
(Also, if there’s anyone who knows the most about Endgame—it’s the Scripty!)
There’s the sound department. The boom operator works with microphones and holds a boom mic so you can catch every line clearly without feedback and background noise. Keep in mind these are 12-14 hour workdays, and boom operators need to stay in uncomfortable positions to get the best sound.
There’s the mass of special effects crew who worked individually so Mark Ruffalo can go looking like this:
To this:
It’s not just the actors, the directors, and the producers who work on a film. I didn’t even scratch the surface on the careers in the film industry.
Marvel is smart. They want the audience to sit and recognize everyone who worked on their films.
So sit back while you’re waiting for a post-credit scene in Captain Marvel and Endgame and enjoy and acknowledge all of the names that pass through. Their only recognition is through the end credits.
These people work hard behind the scenes so you can enjoy the movies you love today.

This reminded me of an article I read years ago covering some lolita event. The reporter wrote something about how lolitas claimed lolita fashion was non-sexual, but he found it hard to believe after seeing the way they “seductively nibbled on cookies”
I don’t remember what the article was or what event it was covering, but I remember that one line because it just, like, filled me with so much rage. Like goddamn, maybe they just wanted to eat some fucking cookies, its not their fault you got a boner over it.
“it’s not their fault you got a boner over it” is such an important statement in way too many contexts
A couple and their child were looking over our Marvel Characters plush at my work, right? And the dad turns to his little girl and asks, “Which Marvel character do you want?”
His little girl, maybe 9, replies, “Mmm, I think I want Captain Marvel.”
Dad makes a face, and says, “How about you choose a real super hero and not a little princess?”
Me and my coworkers were about to smack down on this man when his wife makes a FACE and says, “Honey, you get Captain Marvel.” Then she turns to her husband. “Shut the fuck up, Greg.”
And that has become our new motto for dealings with mysogenists at work.
Shutthefuckup,Greg.
Got a few people in the notes who apparently can’t be bothered to believe that a woman told her husband, named Greg, to fuck off for being a misogynist asshole to his own damn daughter, so I’ll say to those people as well:
