The Avengers!!! (no spoilers)
Because Mr. Mousie is the best husband known to man, his present to me for Mother's Day was to get a babysitter for us to go to see The Avengers. (It is turning into a tradition of sorts - last year it was Thor).
LOVE! LOVE!!!!
I was especially impressed how Joss managed to have so many main characters and give them all character development, depth and individual voices.
1. They had Tony/Pepper. EEEEEEEEE!!!! I don't know why I ship them so, but I do.
2. Tony Stark was my favorite character in this and, of course, I drool over Thor who is always awesome (btw hooray for continuity mention of Jane), but the biggest shock was Captain America - I found him rather underwhelming in his own movie but I totally fell utterly in love with him here. He's just so good guy it hurts. Is there going to be Captain America 2? Say yes, please.
3. I really liked this take on the Hulk. Mark Ruffalo might be my favorite Hulk even over Edward Norton because he just owns the laid-back scientist with the ever-present edge of desperation (and view of hulk as this other, not him at all). I have zero interest in the hulk but I do love Banner.
4. Last but not least. I desperately need Hawkeye/Black Widow fanfic. I mean, come on, they hit every OTP kink I didn't know I had! Oh God, please tell me it's out there!
So, link me to your thoughts and any good Avengers fic, please!!!
