I like Supernatural, but I've found a new love.
I haven’t really commented on the Supernatural Season finale. I was okay with it. I don’t have strong feelings either way with Dean becoming a demon. I just worry that that writers will throw away the potential to make it a great story. Dean should now be a knight of hell. He should be stronger than Crowley. But let’s face it, the writers will probably have Crowley using Dean as his personal servant. Now I get that Dean might be vulnerable to manipulation by Crowley all based on Dean’s low self-worth. I can believe that if it was written well. However, I worry that the writers will just have Crowley be stronger with no explanation (I mean, he’s a 400 year old demon…that’s not all that old). I also wonder if the writers will do anything more since the introduction of his son Gavin?
As for Sam and Castiel. Who knows? Naturally they’ve poised Cas to love Dean, but that ship will never sail. And Sam, the one with the demon blood who has vesseled not one but two angels? Who knows….
I’ve sort of lost faith in what will happen. I watch and enjoy it week to week (except what happened with the REAPER Tessa and that disgraceful angel side story of doom) and don’t really ponder it much further. This is how I enjoy the show Grimm also. And I’m okay with this.
My new current joy is the Marvel Universe. I’m really pleased with how the writers have fashioned movies from the comics. I started with Iron Man and then the Thor movies, but it wasn’t until the Captain America movies that I really started to connect all of them together. Now I have a new love!
In Steve and Bucky there is the story of two “brothers” against the world. Two who help and protect each other till the end of the line. Then there is the tragedy of death and loss and sacrifice. And this is just the first movie. In the Avengers I don’t think we really see just how lost Steve is and how much he is mourning losing 70 years and all he knew. But once the Winter Soldier begins it’s obvious that Steve is stoically hanging on, but not at all over losing Peggy to age and Bucky to death. It’s only been three years in his mind.
I love all the characters in the Winter Soldier. Natasha is supremely wonderful and kick ass! I love strong women characters. She is such a perfect counter to Steve’s all American goodness, and yet, she is reformed and she is as capable as being noble. I think her pairing with Steve was well chosen given her comic background as a spy and assassin who was trained by the Winter Soldier. I don’t know how much the movies will go into that story, but I liked how in the movie the Winter Soldier chooses to go after Natasha and how at that moment he is speaking Russian like he remembers having trained her and how dangerous she is.
And of course there is the end of the movie. Really, if that heliocarrier fight and those words didn’t break me! Wow! It was so tragic, and I just love tragic. Steve’s “I will not fight you, you are my friend”. And Bucky’s lack of memory (due to the other tragic scene…”I knew him”….dear god…the horror of what they did to him) “You are my mission.” Then that fall, and I just knew where this was going. I’m glad I had not found the comic version of this until later. The movie was more dramatic and the movie created backstory was a little deeper and more emotionally fleshed out.
Oh movie! You broke me and you own me.
