Age of Ultron, non-spoilery.

[commodorified]

So, I enjoyed that. It had the virtues and vices of a superhero movie written and directed by Joss Whedon, and those who like that sort of thing will find it to be exactly the sort of thing they like.

I strongly suspect that large parts of it won't stand up under close examination and have therefore decided not to subject it to one.

It's not that I don't think other people ought to, I'm just basically content to mutter "This ... is a job for FANFIC PERSON" and call it a day.

My favorite superhero team!

Okay, the one dude is a little marginalized, but it's okay cuz his ass looks so hot in that prose.

There is only so much you can do with a character who has "wank" in his name.

I am still incredibly annoyed that TWS ate my brain to a point where I am no longer capable of this attitude. :(

Basically, Keep Calm And Look At Steve. <3

I have basically decided this weekend is to be epic rolling around in my AU interspersed with getting my distance ed shit in a row.

Just, you know, up to Avengers this was a silly fun verse I didn't care that much about! And then it had Clint and Tasha but I still could totally roll with anything that came down the line -

Then I got emotionally compromised.

*sulk*

Oh, I'm pretty compromised, I think I've just hit the spot where I can enjoy the MCU without necessarily believing it. It's just another AU, albeit with a hell of a budget.

Also NEITHER WAS OMAHA

QUOTED FOR TRUUUUTH.

*wistful* Maybe I will get there.

I was actually watching it going "Okay, but I've already read the fanfic that did this better" and "...but how can you even write fic about this, it's so bad?"

I've never actually seen a popcorn movie that holds up to close examination. Am I just watching the wrong popcorn movies?

This does not, you understand, mess with my enjoyment of said popcorn movies. But I am waiting till a weekday matinee to go see the new Avengers movie, because I can.
