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*

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
