you told me victory's sweet, even deep in the cheap seats...
I AM LIVING IN A POST-AVENGERS WORLD AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE IT.
It was wonderful, it was everything I hoped it would be, it was nothing like I predicted EXCEPT FOR HOW JOSS WHEDON DID WHAT I KNEW HE COULD NOT HELP BUT DO AND KILLED MOTHERFUCKING PHIL COULSON.
It was thematically appropriate, it made pitch perfect sense, and I still want to punch his face in because goddammit I adored Phil Coulson from his first scene in Iron Man and I wanted him to last. Please tell me that him being dead is just as much a fake-out as the cards in his jacket. Please tell me that the "oops Fury lied again" is in the 30 minutes on the cutting room floor.
Otherwise, point me toward the fix-it fic and I'll bring the Ben and Jerry's.
Seriously, I'm sitting here at 3 AM sobbing like a baby. This is really ridiculous. More thoughtful commentary will come tomorrow, or maybe after the second viewing.
Now shut up and pass the tissues.
EDIT: Have already waded into AO3 for the fix-it fic; the fruits of my labor are below.
