sherryillkI saw the Avengers today. Took me a while, but I finally got a chance to sneak in a quick movie. I had meant to go last week but the day I was free coincidentally was Game Five of the Knicks vs. Heat series and I knew I would never forgive myself if I missed it and the Knicks pulled off a miracle and managed to stay alive past that game. At the time, it was 3-1 and it was in Miami so I knew the chances wouldn't be good. In fact, it would have taken a minor miracle for the Knicks to have won considering they didn't have Lin, Baron Davis, Shump, and the fact that STAT's hand was still injured. But I still ended up watching the entire game, the entire very sad game. :\
I regretted it. I knew I would but I had hope that it would at least be somewhat close. It wasn't close at all. And I probably would have enjoyed the movie more.
Anyway, I finally got a chance to see it today. I saw it in 3D but for the life of me, I can't say it made much of a difference. I don't think I was paying enough attention to the 3D effects to actually see the 3D effects. :\ Kinda wish I had saved the $3 and went and saw the 2D version instead because I doubt I would have missed it. But since I didn't see the 2D version, I can't say for sure that it wouldn't have mattered but I can say the movie I saw was pretty good overall in terms of effects? *shrugs*
So thoughts on the movie, just quick ones that flew through my mind as I watched it.
Oh my god, so many Thor/Loki feels! I still adore that pairing! I know I generally don't like reading about evil people since they're evil, but I just can't seem to shake my love of Loki. I guess it's because I started reading about him and Thor before I actually watched Thor? And I still think he's redeemable? I mean, he's a god -- he's not exactly on a normal mortal's level. I mean, when they were taking Loki back to SHIELD and Thor just flew in and took him? OH MY GOD. And the conversation that followed afterwards? OH MY GOD. Thor just wanted Loki to come home! My heart just nearly burst there. That was amazing! And he's still alive! And with Thor since Thor took him back home to Asgard! So much love!
I was glad they only just acknowledged Jane's existence and didn't have her show up in the movie the way Pepper did. But I don't mind her so much because of the whole they're gods thing. I mean, by the time Loki serves his punishment (so long it's not eternal), Jane would probably be dead several times over and Thor and Loki would still be there. It's a bit like how I've always felt about Duncan and Methos having mortal lovers -- they have an expiration date but the bond between immortals will always be forever and can withstand mortal love.
Next, Pepper and Tony. Eh, I was a bit surprised to see how comfortable they were with each other. I guess since I watched Iron Man 1 and 2 years ago and the fact that I'm only interested now in Iron Man is because of Gleevengers that I kinda don't want her in Tony's life in an intimate way? Not that I ever thought that in any of the Gleevengers alternate universes that Tony would ever be with Blaine's mother but, I don't know. *shrugs*
But what I did love? Tony and Bruce geeking out! I love it when smart people get together and have an old fashioned geek out. Plus, they went off together in the end -- am I supposed to take that to mean Bruce took up Tony's offer to have some fun at Stark R&D? I hope that means we'll get to see the Hulk in Iron Man 3! ^^
In contrast, while I loved Tony and Bruce, I still can't see or get Tony/Steve. There's nothing there besides animosity and I generally like a little bit more before I slash people. *shrugs* People are probably seeing a connection that I'm not.
What else? I realized I still love archery. I never knew I had such an archery kink until I became incredibly turned on by Hawkeye. He's just so cool! Even when he was brainwashed and evil, he was still cool but when he came back to himself? So much cooler. Loved Barton so much!
Lastly, I'm just gonna say, I don't believe Agent Coulson is dead. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE HE'S DEAD. Until he doesn't show up in Iron Man 3/Avengers 2, or whatever, I refuse to believe he's actually dead and not just really injured and Fury just manipulated the Avengers into taking up his cause with Coulson's supposed death. I mean, the dude gave him the idea... And seriously, he's been in like every single movie since Iron Man -- he can't go out like that! *shakes head* Seriously, Joss, stop killing people! The guy who plays Coulson said he was in talks to be in Iron Man 3, so I am holding out hope for his continued survival.
So, my rating? Pretty good. I'll give it a solid 8 on a 1-10 scale. That's pretty high since practically nothing I watch breaks 9. I'm not even sure I've had a 10... Closest would probably be The Dark Knight since that blew my mind away. But I think I gave it at 9.5 at the time so I don't know. But you know what? This makes me want to rewatch the Iron Man movies... Which is kinda insane because I never thought I would. But with Gleevengers and now Avengers, I have an urge to revisit. I usually keep everything I download unless I think I'm never going to need it or watch it again so I don't know if I even kept the Iron Man movies. It would suck to have to download them again.
And I think I need to get a good screener of the Avengers. I can't wait for the DVD...It'll be months... I'll forget about it by then.
I feel like I should talk about tonight's two hour extravaganza of Glee but I think that might deserve a separate post, though I really don't have much to say. I usually only talk about Kurt and Blaine so that'll tell you why I don't have much to say. It's seriously the only thing that disappointed me but I'm starting to get used to it. And since there's only one episode left, I'm guessing there's no way to fix it any time soon considering they're parting ways... *sigh* Oh Glee... I'm already mourning you.
