my Avengers reaction post
5/13/12 08:13 pmSo, I read posts about the Avengers and how they’re the best thing since sliced bread. I've seen all the lead-up movies—Iron Man, Thor, not Captain America ever in this life—so I figured I had the background. I went in kind of ready to fall in love.
And I did—I thought Loki was perfect! I didn't much care for him in Thor, but I was also being blinded by my brief snatches of Idris Elba so, perfectly justifiable that I kind of ignored everyone else in the movie. But wow, he was shiny like a brand new penny! Kind of hot in the way I like. Plus, a wicked little smile that I really loved. What the hell is wrong with me? Hah!!
This movie had the best dialogue, no surprise. This movie killed off my FAVORITE character, again no surprise Joss you bastard. This movie had Samuel Jackson which automatically makes it good. Samuel, you will never not be hot to me. Love me some manipulative son of a bitch Nick Fury.
I had fun picking out actors I thought might be TV actors, besides the obvious of course--hey girlfriend you were pretty fucking cool! Ted *should* have kids with you.
Now, some of you know about my issues with Captain America, casting there-of. I said to myself (I like to have these important conversations with myself out loud, in front of witnesses), "Miz Rose, grow the fuck up. That Chris boy is a perfectly okay guy. It was never going to happen. Jensen was never going to be that character. " So I watched this guy, really watched him, and I have to say, I can't understand why it didn't happen. The only difference in those two actors' abilities is that Jensen doesn't seem to know what to do with his hands when he's acting. Physically, Chris has a better body but movie magic would have fixed that and still, JA's got shoulders and an ass to die for. I wanted it so bad I actually *saw* JA's face in some scenes. You know what that's called? That's right, barking crazies, is what that is.
This new fandom is churning out slash like a WWII era propaganda machine, but me, the only vibe I got was a lovely little dub-con vibe between Loki and Thor.
Me summing up my whole experience? Joss is the shit, Black Widow was hot and competent and that made her even hotter, Thor's a big blonde idiot who deserves Loki tricking the shit out of him, Tony Stark is cool but Iron Man is still kind of corny, FUCK U CAP—SHHPIT-TOOIII !!! and Nick Fury is the mother-fucking greatest of all time. Not jumping my ship yet.
Sadly, we did not get a senior discount. *pout*

5/14/12 01:15 am (UTC)Your review is certainly unique, Roxy! ;)
I'm hoping that The Dark Knight Rises can compete at the box office with this film. I'm a DC girl at heart, but Marvel has it all over DC for movies! DC hasn't done anything good except the recent Batman films.
P.S. Thor/Loki and Steve/Phil are HAWT! ;)

5/14/12 01:20 am (UTC)Glad to hear you loved it! (Have to admit, I wasn't all that impressed with "Thor" - but I did enjoy Loki's character in it. Probably one of the more two-dimensional comic book villains I've seen on the silver screen in a while.

5/14/12 01:45 am (UTC)Loki was all kinds of awesome. I just love the snarky bad guys, and WOW, did he clean up nice at the museum! Thor definitely got what he deserved from Loki, I mean come one, he's lied and tricked him how many times and he still "he's my brother" trying to 'save' him! Cute but totally the dumb blonde sterotype.
I didn't mind Captain America, but I kinda had a mini-crush on Chris Evans from the Fantastic Four movies. I was just waiting for Steve, Tony and Banner to get it on. lol The UST was unreal, even Ori made comments about it.
Poor Phil. :( I think the entire theater took a collective gasp when he got killed. :(
But yeah, I was totally focused on Hawkeye the whole time. DAMN Jeremy Renner is effing gorgeous! I just want to lick that vein on his arm a few times and I'll be happy. ;)

5/14/12 01:53 am (UTC)Phil! I totally fell in love with him the first time I saw him! And just a little secret between you and me, Tony Stark's best lines are in this movie. *shhhhh*

5/14/12 03:47 am (UTC)Ach, I don't know why I don't feel teh Tony/Steve, I know I'm in the minority with that. Also, Chris Evans looks like Ackles not as attractive cousin to me. I like Cap in the movie better than I ever liked him in the comics, though!
Phil/Steve, OTP 4evah! He's not dead, he's sleeping!

5/14/12 03:28 am (UTC)This line made my night! <3 Ahaha, nothing like fangirls to fuel the war effort (war on what, I'm not sure...having too many hot guys in the same space w/o spontaneous sexual combustion, maybe?)

5/14/12 03:40 am (UTC)That said, I sorta fell in love with Chris Evans when he was playing Jake Jensen in The Losers with JDM, and can't really begrudge him the role of Cap. I saw the first Cap movie and was a little angry at them for giving him such a weenie roll after the transformation. Avengers gave him struggles and humor and nobility in the face of adversity, so I was glad of that at least.
I'm reading Steve Rogers/Tony Stark for the most part. I like that Steve makes him want to be a better man. When they were arguing in the lab, and the engine blew and Steve was like "Put on the suit" and they ran out of the room and Steve like grabbed him around the waist to steady him through the door as the place was rocking. Mmm. And Steve nearly dying getting to the red lever.
Definitely have to see this again and fine more slash. :)
Also, OMG, the Phil/Steve you have outlined here mus become a reality.

5/14/12 03:56 am (UTC)I love Chris Evans in fanfic. I love him in J2/Losers gangster smash-ups, but sadly, not so much on the screen. I did like him some in the Avengers but I had to squint really hard to see past

I *am* in love. I'll admit, most of my love comes from the incredible fan-fic and utterly hopeless crush on RDJ, but omg! This movie was so bright and flashy and loud and *fun*. So *sparkly*. And all the fics were swimming in my head and i desperately wanted some Clint/Phil action going on and all of the Tony/Steve interaction was *so* the first five chapters in some epic long fic where they fight and piss each other off and then *fight* and have this grudging admiration and then they go their separate ways for a while but can't stop thinking about each other and gradually they fall into Tony sending stupid/weird/funny random texts and Steve sending postcards and once a shot someone took of him on his motorcycle in some desert setting and and and.....
!!!
:)
*ahem*
YES, anyway, yes, omg, Nick and Black Widow and Bruce and just.....everything!

5/14/12 06:36 pm (UTC)Okay, tell me what part of the movie I fell asleep on that there's all this Clint/Phil stuff? Isn't Clint Hawkeye? 'Cause I admit I did start poking Mr. R and trying to arrange his arm so it'd be most comfy to me through most of Hawkeye's screen time--except when Natasha knocked him off his feet. She was pretty cool.

5/14/12 06:41 pm (UTC)So it's all just wishful thinking on my/our part, heh. But the Clint/Phil fic is so fucking awesome really. Most of the fanfic/fandom pairings are Clint/Phil, Steve/Tony, Natasha/Pepper, Thor/Jane, with Bruce sadly left out. We also have a lot of Clint/Darcy (Jane's assistant from the Thor movie) and a smattering of Thor/Loki and Tony/Bruce, Steve/Phil.
Nick Fury is just too rarefied and scary to be boinking any of the team. :)

It's from Thor's POV, and both hot and hysterical.
There really is a lot of wonderful Thor/Loki fic out there.... *gives you the puppy-eyes*
