Chris: Wow. So. I hated that.
Andy: Yeah, i wasn’t sure you’d like it.
C: I don’t understand why half the movie was “get everyone on the flying aircraft carrier so they can all shout at each other”.
A: The whole thing was a bit over-long.
C: And why did Loki allegedly want the Hulk?? That was never explained! It’s like they just completely forgot the entire premise of the 1st half of the movie.
A: It’s definitely a movie you don’t want to look at too closely because you’ll see the glaring plot holes.
C: Plus i didn’t really care about most people. I don’t like the superheroes who are super because of some kind of enhancement. I like the superheroes who are just badass otherwise-normal humans. I liked Coulson.
A: Oh, yeah, everyone likes Coulson. Coulson’s awesome.
C: I liked Hawkeye.
A: Ugh! I don’t like him, but i have lots of baggage from the comics.
C: Fair enough. I guess, to be more accurate, i could watch Hawkeye shooting arrows all day long. And Natasha was great, of course.
A: Of course.
C: But i also really liked Agent Hill. What i would like is all the fic about Agent Hill driving all the cars.
A: [laughs] Okay. Now i’m just thinking about all the people from the comics i’d rather see in a film.
C: Explain!
A: I’d rather see Hercules.
C: Ooh, okay, but only if he’s played by Hercules.
A: Played by Herc… Oh! You mean Kevin Sorbo?? Okay, yeah, he could probably pull off a Marvel Hercules.
C: I’d watch another “Avengers” if there were a She-Hulk in it.
A: Definitely needs more She-Hulk.
C: Everything needs more She-Hulk. Yeah. I just really didn’t like this movie. I’m glad we didn’t have to pay to watch it, but i’m sorry we wasted one of our free-rental punches at Scarecrow.
A: But now you have participated in a cultural event.
C: I just hope i still have some friends left after i post about it.
Hahaha, I think you have just confirmed that I actually never need to see this movie, at all. Thanks for taking the bullet for me on this one. XD
If you’ve seen stuff on Tumblr you’re probably up on most of the movie anyway. And you didn’t have to watch all the tedious fights.
… wait, why on earth would I be looking at Avengers stuff on Tumblr? Even when I was using Tumblr, I scrolled past all that stuff w/o even looking at it, as I do w/most things that aren’t my fandoms (& which I feel strongly will never be my fandoms).
Suspect he’s suggesting that even just scrolling past it on Tumblr gives you enough of a sense of the film. I don’t read him as implying you’re actively looking for the stuff.
Have you no sense of decency? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?
It was suggesting that Kevin Sorbo play Hercules that put it over the edge, wasn’t it?
Somehow I suspected you weren’t going to like it! I mean I, obviously, loved it, but not without reservation, and my favourites were the non-enhanced heroes as well. They’re so much more interesting!
And it’s not that i don’t like superhero/comics movies in the 1st place — monday night we watched “Thor”, which i enjoyed immensely! And which made me extremely sympathetic towards Loki.
I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed “Thor”. I started watching it so I had context for Avengers, and then found myself having a wonderful time. Darcy! <3
