seriously though is no one going to talk about the fucking shitstorm carol marcus went through in stid
first she finds out that not only does her dad want to start a huge-ass intergalactic war, but he is willing to destroy anything and anyone that gets in his way to achieving it
and then he beams her over so that she is forced to watch helplessly as he goes to destroy thousands of innocent lives
and then khan brutally breaks her leg
and crushes her father’s skull in his hands
right next to her
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT CAROL MARCUS
and despite all of this she is totally proactive – she tricks her way onto the enterprise. she disarms a missile, refuses rescue when it means certain death for a man she’s literally just met, even with a broken leg she barely complains beyond the initial (and totally justified) scream, completely shuts down kirk when he doesn’t listen to her
basically what i’m saying is that everyone should be talking about carol marcus
carol marcus
Out of boredom (or maybe a desire to learn? Who knows) I started making teeny tiny polymer clay versions of various fictional characters. Wanna see?
Tiny Carol Marcus from Star Trek! (But the back is all squished, unfortunately.)
Tiny Amy Pond and a sunflower!
Tiny Grantaire and his tiny wine bottle
Tiny Enjolras (he’s the best one so far)
Tiny Daenerys and one of her dragons!
OKAY BUT (Into Darkness spoilers ahoy) CAN WE HEAR IT FOR CAROL MARCUS
I know she was shoehorned into a pointless underwear scene
But she was really cool and collected and good at her job and she tried her hardest to save everyone (failing through absolutely no fault of her own) and she SAVED BONES’S LIFE and she SLAPPED her father round the face for what he’d done and yet she screamed when he was killed in front of her and ALL SHE WANTED WAS A FAMILY (which she got at the end)
She was basically PRETTY DAMN AWESOME I really liked her
