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 01:45 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. ;)
