O HALP, I HAVE KICKED INTO FULL-ON FANGIRL MODE YET AGAIN 8|

So yeah, saw Thor about 2-3 weeks ago, and despite my initial reaction of Natalie Portman WHAT are you doing in my superhero movie? B| I actually rather enjoyed it. It was fun, at least, and then of course, I…well, the way someone over on Tumblr said it is the only way to really say it:

“…That awkward moment when you fall in love with the main

Aww, I WOULD TOTES GO SEE IT WITH YOU...if...you weren't like half the country far away, lmao. And yeah, I'll probs be goin' by my onesies when it hits the dollar theatre, siiiiiiiigh.

I'm reading the actual volumes! The library I'm working at has them, surprisingly enough.

[alory_shannon]

...B'awww, we have to wait that long? :C

Guess not. =\

[alory_shannon]

Yeah, that sounds about right. But it still makes me sadfais. :'C

It's probably to drum up demand--'it's out of theatres, oh no, we must buy it as soon as it comes out so we can watch it again!' Of course, now that you can DL just about ANYthing illegally, that...seems like it wouldn't really work so much anymore.

/nods And speaking of 'hype'...if I have to see that AWFUL preview for that HORRENDOUS TRAVESTY that they're trying to pass off as a Green Lantern movie, I think I will seriously kill someone. B| GL is just...such a tool, IDK why ANYone would ever want to make a movie about him anyway...'course, I think DC in general sucks except for the Bat-verse, lol.

IKR, I've been getting EVERYTHING Thor and Avengers-related that I can find from both the library systems I have access to. I've already read just about everything they have worth reading X-men-wise, so...on to Thor! |D And I've been brushing up on my Norse mythology--been forever since I read those stories. I forgot how fun they are.

What specifically have you been Googling? :D

[alory_shannon]

I'm usually just as much a sucker for a comic book movie, but...in this case, I reeeeeally have zero interest in it. Never liked GL in general, and Hal Jordan is one of the dumbest of them, so ergh.

...PFFT, AQUAMAN.

[alory_shannon]

...And that would STILL probably be better/more interesting than the GL movie will be. :| It just...looks BEYOND F4 AND HULK-LEVEL BAD. WORSE THAN SPIDERMAN 3 AND BATMAN FOREVER BAD, ABANDON HOPE ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE.I know...a lot of the older Thor stuff was RIDICULOUSLY BAD, but I have little interest in "classic" comics anyway, so. I'm sort of just starting to explore what's new with Thor, so I'll let you know as I go with that one. Deadpool...I don't know that I've read much of ANYTHING Deadpool that I haven't liked, but let me get you some specific issue numbers/names. Iron Man, I've mostly seen in certain Avengers issues and then the whole Civil War arc (which was pretty decent across the board) and then the Skrull invasion which...was cool-ish sometimes but mostly just lulzy INVASION OF THE BODY-SNATCHERS type stuff. X-men...oh geez, there is just So Much X-men. SO many spin-offs, so many series, so many different little groups of characters. Those ones are REALLY a shot in the dark, and will probs take the longest to get

OH GOD THEY SO WERE. SO WAS DAREDEVIL, though I can't remember much of that one because I was so disgusted/horrified/etc. that I've blocked it from my memory. The first F4 movie is the only one I saw, and that was pretty atrocious also, but then again, I kind of dislike the F4 in general SO. :| And AUGH YES I am keeping my fingers crossed SO HARD for the Spidey reboot. XO And I have no idea what their plans are concerning that, except for putting Spidey back into HS, but the "Ultimate Spider-man" comic series (writer: Bendis) was generally pretty decent ...until it hit the 'clone saga' part and things went a little weird, but I don't really think there IS a way to do that part well, and if they do something along those lines, I think there's a good amount of hope for it. :]

...MAN TEEL DEERZ EVERYWHAR, I apologise. I ate like a five-year-old today--ONLY COOKIES, ALL DAY, ffff.Catwoman is hands-down my FAVOURITE Batman villain (...more like antihero, and semi-recently HERO, lol), and Anne Hathaway is SO many kinds of wrong for her,

[alory_shannon]

...Yeeeeeah, I get as far as thinking BEN AFFLECK WAS DAREDEVIL and then...sort of black out due to horror and revulsion and when I come to again it takes me a minute to...hmmm, what were we talking about again? F4 RIGHT, I never liked them just in the CAMEOS they got in other series, I can't IMAGINE how boring and pompously terrible and all-around melodramatic they'd be in their OWN series. Though I do admit to having a soft spot for Dr. Doom, if only because he is so patently ridiculous. ...The fact that ONE OF HIS DREAMS IS TO DESTROY RICHAAAAAAARDS!!! THE F4 has noooothing to do with me liking him just a little, srs. |3

...Also, Doom's personal TV Tropes page is Just About The Best Ever. Written as if he himself were writing it, it is well worth the serious risk to one's life that is always incurred by going to that site even casually.

Last I heard HS age!Spidey was still go, but that...was a while ago, so I've no idea anymore.

Aww! Well, hit me up any time you wanna talk about 'em! I really only read what I can get my hands
