Something we can all agree on

Wednesday is dark and full of terrors. Or, well, no, it's actually just long and lacking coffee on demand. Let's talk about our favorite fanon assumptions. I'll start with two fandoms

Actually, as far as I remember, Banner really isn't able to have sex with Betty in the 2008 film. They make an attempt, but before anything really happens, his heart rate spikes too quickly and they stop before he transforms (I think that was also the case in much of comics canon)

So, yeah. :)

I am amused by the "Hawkeye spends almost all his time hiding out in the vent systems on the Helicarrier/SHIELD HQ/Stark Tower" bit of fanon however.

[jjtaylor]

Oh, interesting! I did not remember that, though I really did not watch the movie that closely. I can see how it makes more sense that it's a heart rate spike rather than an anger-spike.

I am also amused by that Hawkeye fanon! I understand the up in the rafters parts, but, HVAC systems are possibly a little more....intense? Or crazypants?

[bethbethbeth]

Definitely crazypants, but in a charming way. :)

Thank you for the canon back-up. So it's not an anger thing, but rather a heart rate/adrenalin thing that triggers the change? That does put it all in context.

Also, yes to the Hawkeye stuff. Don't forget the bit about him making nests everywhere high up, too. Very entertaining.

[bethbethbeth]

Yes! And his nests are usually made out of the other Avengers' (and Phil's) clothes. :)

[lilac_one]

You know, I can understand, based on The Avengers movie alone, that he might prefer to be high up when he's working, but a nest? Esp out of clothes? For reals, people?!?!

[bethbethbeth]

I blame Selvig. He calls it a nest, and...that's that! :)

[lilac_one]

I love fandom!

(Like the whole Guide thing in TS - mention in passing once and it's there forever.)

[bethbethbeth]

Oh lord yes. Meanwhile, I keep seeing random Sentinel/Avengers fusions over on AO3...but I've been running away too quickly to find out which Avengers is supposed to be the Guide. :)

[lilac_one]

I've seen those, too, but haven't yet gotten desperate enough to actually read them. If I do, I'll do my best to remember to let you know...
