AVENGERS ASSEMBLED.

[circ_bamboo]

I have ALL THE FEELINGS but [THERE ARE SPOILERS UNDER HERE.]I think the first thing I'm going to say is that I AM NOT OKAY WITH CERTAIN PEOPLE BEING DEAD AND REMAINING THAT WAY.

The second thing I'm going to say is Tony Stark, why so awesome?

The dialogue and, ha, plot twist, was pretty much pure Joss Whedon, but also the . . . I'm going to say the heart of the movie. So I

I walked out of that film with a huge crush on Mark Ruffalo. I don't know where that came from.

I . . . don't blame you, I really don't.

I walked out of that film with a new appreciation for Chris Evans's and Scarlett Johansen's asses. :)

[fringedweller]

Oh my God, Chris Evans' arse, that was worth the price of the ticket all on its own!

I love Firefly, and Dr Horrible, but I loathe Buffy and Angel and Dollhouse, and I have complicated feelings about Avengers which are overshadowed by HOLY FUCK JOSS YOU GAVE ME THE LOKI OF MY DESIRING THAT WAS UNEXPECTED.

[Spoiler (click to open)]I do think that the braver way would have been to have had Loki turn Coulson, and for the visible signs to flicker and fade so that he could be a mole with Our Heroes right up until the end. It's the removal of agency and the threat the character poses -- he could have gone up against Steve and how cool would that have been? -- right up until the hivemind went asplodey. BUT THAT'S JUST ME.

Right. I forgot about Dr. Horrible, about which I have Complicated Feelings but overall very much like because the hammer is his penis I really love all the characters and songs. Nonetheless.

(Hated Dollhouse; saw exactly one episode of Angel and yawned; haven't actually seen any Buffy but feeling exactly no desire to do so.)

Oh my GOD that would have been so. much. better. Holy crap. Why don't we pay you to write the movie?

But yeah, I was thinking when I walked out, Well, that Loki was unredeemably evil. I'd like to see them try to leather-pants him.

Because I don't have a horde of fans at my beck to make a movie successful?

Apparently the Loki Brigade is still trying to woobiefy him, which I don't get and won't be going to look for.

[circ_bamboo]

Yeah, neither will I. *shrugs*

And if only you did! I mean, just because Better Plot Points.

Possibly I have 800 words of Phil/Phil's Cellist already written.
