Avengers!

Saw The Avengers last night. Loved it. Despite not having seen any of the prior movies featuring these characters and having no knowledge of the Marvel comics whatsoever, lol. It's very obviously a Joss film, though, which I think is why I liked it? Because the characters are all witty and clever and have actual character beats in between blowing up all the things.

Mark Ruffalo is the actual best, and if he'd been in the other Hulk movies, I might actually be tempted to watch them. Also, I may have just become a Tony/Bruce shipper. RDJ = hilarity. Not usually a Scarlet Johansson fan, but Natasha rocks and needs her own movie. Preferably with Jeremy Renner. (BUDPAEST!) And I can totally see now why people keep suggesting Chris Hemsworth as Finnick for the Hunger Games movies, even though I still think it'd be weird. Oh, and Imma need a gif of the Hulk punching Thor out of frame as soon as humanly possible.

Shawarma!

Yay Avengers! I saw it this past weekend with my sister, and she kept on getting bugged because I'd nudge her every time I heard a distinctly Joss-like line. Which was often. The audience was just about in tears at the "he's adopted" line, and when the Hulk smashed Loki in Tony's apartment was a perfect use of physical comedy.

I'm loving Mark Ruffalo right now - he had a tragic humanity Ed Norton's didn't in the Hulk movie. I do recommend Thor if you liked Loki, because he stole the show in that one, and Captain America and Iron Man 2 segued right into the movies (there were little bits at the end of them where Agent Coulson went recruiting).

I don't have that particular gif, but I do have this!

Yeah, I'm thinking I kinda want to see the other movies now, haha. Although I'll probably be disappointed if I expect them to be as good without Joss. :-P
