It's been a while since I touched base here! I've actually been super-busy with fun fandom things, but haven't had the time to post about them. So, an update!

First and foremost...

Yeah, I ended up seeing Dr Strange on DVD. That was the point where I officially decided I have reached my lifetime limit on movies where an over-privileged white guy gets away with treatng everyone around him like shit because he's super-smart, and when he is faced with the consequences of his own assholeness, we're supposed to be touched by his self-pity (instead of pitying all the people he's treated like shit) and cheer for him to become super-extra over-privileged.

Robert Downey Jnr has the incredible charisma that makes me guiltily like his character even as I rant about what a terrible person he is. Cumberbatch may be a great Sherlock, but he doesn't have that.

I went back and watched most of the way through after seeing Endgame, and was delighted by how many little details and one-liners I'd forgotten about had been reflected in Endgame.

No surprise in loving Thaw. He's awesome. Hemsworth is fabulous. Ragnarok was one of the best movies of the whole franchise. I really don't know what it is that doesn't have me interested in Thor fic. Maybe because I find it hard to imagine how he'd be anything but a perfect lover, and I'd rather read/write the fucked up ones.

omg, *Thor*. I was in the middle of replying to feedback on my old fic 'Thaw'. What an idiot.

[vanillalime]

HA, before I quickly realized it was just a typo, I had a brief moment of confusion where I wondered who Thaw was and how I totally missed his character. :D

I loved Ragnorak and how funny was! I laughed harder watching that movie than I have watching a lot of so-called comedies.

YES. I am a total sucker for a good redemption arc, and that's why I loved the end of Endgame, as sad as it was. I've seen a lot of Tony Stark fans upset about what happened, but him sacrificing himself for The Good of the World was the perfect ending for the character, and it also showed how good an actor RDJ can be. God, I even loved Gwyneth Paltrow in that scene!

[drsquidlove]

Ha, I couldn't go so far as to like Gwyneth.

I was caught up in the moment, what can I say? ;D
