It's Marvel Comics-verse, very loosely connected to anything about the actual mythology. So us fanboys who read those comics get to squee our asses off, even knowing it's got zero accuracy about much of anything.

Oh, I know that. :-) Never read them comics, but I am aware of it and can laugh it off for what it is.

I just don't get the Loki-thing, you know? He is pretty cool, I guess, but I don't get the fangirlism (or fanboysim) and the jizzing all over Tumblr. :-P I guess I am not supposed to. :-)

Guilty as charged... I don't do it much here, but dog knows I'm guilty of it on Tumblr :x

It's seeing how he is in interviews, in public, on film outtakes, how well-spoken and intelligent he is, and his sense of humor that has me all hung up on him. He wouldn't be nearly so attractive if not for his mannerisms. Something of the Snape effect there I think, and I'm not at all a Potter fan.

What gets really confusing is having to explain which Tom I'm stanning for at any given time... XD

Indeed you are! *lol* Well, as long as you are having fun, I suppose. :-)

And now I kinda get why I don't get it... Because I've never been jizzing all over the place over Snape either. Sure, I liked him and Alan Rickman has been in my heart since Robin Hood-Prince of Thieves, but... no. The Snape-thing I never really got either. :-P

sorry. i know i'm guilty of the avengers spamming on tumblr.

i'm not really a loki/tom fan either. he made a good villain, but i'm not really into tom's RL red hair. shallow, i know. he is intelligent, funny, and well spoken, though.

i'm in it for pretty much everyone else but loki. and i'm loving this new fandom while TH is on hiatus. i can get lost for hours on Ao3 with all of the ships.

There is a lot of people guilty of that. :-) And there is spamming and spamming. So no need to apologize. It's just the army worship-worship thing that weirds me out, I suppose. :-P

Yeah, I don't get the Tom Hiddleson worship either. Of course, I'm a bit biased because of my Tony Stark/RDJ lust, but that's neither here nor there.

But yeah, the movie was awesome. I can't wait until next Tuesday, when it's released in the States. I can't remember the last time I looked forward to a DVD being released.

Well, I am glad I am not the only one that just don't get it. :-) I mean, I did enjoy both Thor and Avengers where Loki shows up. Good movies, and I think Hiddlestone is a great actor, not saying anything else. I just don't get the worship-worship, you know? :-P

I just think Tom Hiddleston is really, really good looking and a very good actor. :)

Well, at least that is a normal reason. :-) It is the crazy worship-worship that is going rampant on Tumblr that kinda weirds me out everytime I go on that site and is flooded with posts about Tom and Loki and how his fans are his "army"... I mean, WHAT? Yeah, Loki talks about an army in the movie, but that Tumblr-thing? That just weirds me out somewhat. I just don't get it.

Maybe it's the smirk? Alan Rickman's got it*, and Hiddleston too I think. Plus, fandom is insane... No matter which one.

Also, I really liked the Avengers.

*Although it's the voice that makes me get a bit weak at the knees...

Oh, I really liked Avengers to! :-D Make no misstake. :-) It was one amusing ride, for sure! And hey, it was a Whedon movie, and man the man's sense of humor SURE shined through. :-)

I never got the Snape-thing either. I don't know. Weird. :-P

And you are right. All fandoms is insane, I suppose. It's just the worship-worship you know... that is what weirds me out. :-P

I haven't seen any of the other movies, except two minutes of Iron Man. Are they as good? Thor seems like the kind of movie I'd like, I think.

I never got the Snape thing either. Snape is just too greasy, and he's a bad teacher. No good associations there... (At least Snape doesn't spy on the girls in the shower...) It's my least favorite Rickman character. Metatron, on the other hand... (If you haven't seen Dogma, I suggest you do. *grins*)

The Iron Man movies kinda surprised me. Yes, we have both here. :-) They were actually really good. :-D So I do recommend them. I've seen Thor to with spicehobbit and we pretty much laughed our asses off at what Marvel has done with mythology and then feel in love with Chris Hemsworth who plays Thor, because he pretty much saved the whole movie. He does SUCH a great job! Also, there's Stellan Skarsgård and I love him. :-)

peting73 warns me of the Hulk movies that has been released these later years... Apparently they suck, so I haven't seen those...

He did order Captain America the other day though, so I plan to watch it either this weekend or during the week that shows up... when Alexandra wants to use me as a bed or pacifier. :-D
