Offer me a trope (freeform, or tvtropes terminology -- your call), and I'll rank it on a scale of "no/rather not/dunno/I guess/ sure/yes/fuck yes/oh God you don't even know," and possibly sprout a mini-rant along with it. In response, you're getting the same number of tropes from me, which you can either take as a prompt to ( Read more... )

I prefer to talk about things that make me happy here. That said after seeing Avengers: Infinity War I've got to say this--

1) I HATE Kevin Feige.
2) I HATE Avengers: Infinity War3) I HATE Anthony and Joe Russo ( Read more... )

Before I say anything about the movie, I think I should remind my friendly readers that I've been reading the comic books off and on for over 20 years. It very much colors my reactions to things in the movie ( Read more... )

You might remember a few weeks ago that I mentioned being sad about Marvel having ended Loki's ongoing series at issue #17. I'm still sad about that, but I've kept reading some Marvel Comics since then. Now I really wish I hadn't. Between an issue that came out last week, and a couple that came out this week I'm seriously thinking I should never ( Read more... )

I've been on not just a losing streak, but a building one when it comes to my reading of, ah, commercial fic lately.

The comic book series that got me back into ( Read more... )

The Reminder: I started reading comic books from DC and Marvel in 1983, which would be when I was eight. I continued to read books from Marvel until 2001, which would be when I was twenty-six. Not a full twenty years, but close enough I can call it "nearly twenty years" if I want. I quit reading books from either publishing house "cold turkey" ( Read more... )

I've even watched Marvel animation done in both America and Japan. I own a couple of the Marvel anime series that have been done (X-Men and Wolverine). So, I've seen a ( Read more... )

1. I got a 4.0 for my Spring Semester. I've never done that before in my entire life. I'm still in shock. I may need a blanket.

2. Benedict Cumberbatch in Star Trek Into Darkness. I actually went to the midnight premiere. I've never done that before. It was totally worth it! I loved the movie sooo much, and want to see it again!!

There's a thought I've seen around on FaceBook and LiveJournal. Most recently I saw it in beeej's journal. It goes something like this...

"What if there's a parallel universe where--fictional characters are real, real people are fictional characters, and your favorite characters run blogs and write fanfic about you?"I asked her, "Is it bad that ( Read more... )

I won't go into all the ways in which I think the movie does suck, and there are many. No one on my flist wants to hear that. I have finally seen it however, and I feel there were four bright spots ( Read more... )
