Ways in which the Avengers film has already disappointed us all by not living up to the fanfic

[brown_betty]

• It is not going to be the epic love-story of Hawkeye and Darcy Lewis.  In fact, it seems as if the film is unaware that Darcy was the heroine of Thor.  Um, excuse me, filmmakers?  Jane is pretty kickass for a scientist, but does she taze a god?  I don't think so.

Everytime I think about the Avengers coming out I can't help but make the most conflicted faces because while there is bound to be a whole legion of new, epic, incredible fic (with approximately 11 billion fix-its for whatever Tony does that makes him even more of a giant jackass) there is no way in hell it can possibly compete with what fandom has given us.

On the third hand (which Dummy is kindly holding out) there will be a whole lot of pretty and ass-kickery to admire.

Yeah, I believe \o? is the correct, um. Emoticon? Gesturicon? What do we call these? It's kind of like an ascii semaphore.

I vote for Gesturicon because it sounds like a character who would fit right in with Thor. Possibly doing mighty deeds by slaying evil-doers with their mighty shrug.

I don't know if I'm proud of myself or sad that I've already read all of those Darcy fics. Moaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar plz.

Thanks for the link to the Darcy/Steve fic!

I am already kind of looking forward to all the ways in which all the lovely Avengers fic will be Jossed (and then what new fic tropes will spring from the ashes). Also, wondering what will have been predicted with freakish accuracy as well, though!

[brown_betty]

I'm not worried that it will joss, so much as that it will be a let down after so much awesome fic.

Recognized all the ones with Darcy; think I have them all bookmarked.

I am also pre-disappointed with the total lack of Black Widow/Pepper Potts and Hawkeye/Coulson smut.

Pre disappoint! Disappoint early, avoid the rush!
