I missed not one but two trains, got a massive headache and felt sick... in other news I have seen “Infinity War”.

SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT

(also, I’m feeling better now)

Sooooooooooooooooo.....

My first impression is that there was a defenitely a lot to like (especially if you like to cry) but I also need to see this movie a second time (once the DVD is realeased) but sooooooooooo much was going on. And that perhaps is the one thing I would critize. Of course it is not an easy job the bring all the Marvel characters together, but I don’t think the Russo brothers did themselves and the story a favour by splitting up the characters even more, all at different places, doing different things, so that at one point I couldn’t even remember why certain characters were at certain places again. Especially in the second act were too many storylines happening at once, wich didn’t help to move the plot forward.

The other thing I have to nitpick was weirdly enough the humour. Humour has always been a great part of the MCU of course, but there are scenes where it works and scenes where it doesn’t. And they were some moments that in my opinion would have worked better without a witty one liner at the end. One of the things that I love about the MCU is that all movies have a different tone. Guradians are perhaps the most lighthearted and funny movies, whereas the Captain America movies or Black Panther are more serious. Now though in this movie those different tones mix up, so much that it almost seemed like each character was written by a different writer. As much as I love the Guardians I think they should have slowed down on the humour.

Now for the end... I have read a couple of different theories what the end could mean and what could happen in the next Avengers movie. What is interesting to me is that almost all of the characters that vanished are characters we know will return/will get another movie. We know the Guardians will return, we know Spiderman will return, it is very likely that Black Panther will get a sequel. And on the other hand a lot of the characters who survived are the ones who have been there from the start, characters we know are played by actors whose contracts are running out: Captain America, Iron Man, Thor etc. I don’t think Marvel just killed off half of their franchise. It is more likely that at least those who vanished will return, and the ones left behind might sacrifice themselves in order to bring them back.

Speaking of sacrifice, that was a huge theme in the movie. The question was essentially how much one life counts in order to save the entire universe. Vision is ready to sacrifice himself, but Steve insists that they can’t change one life for another. I think it is without question that all of our heroes are willing to give their own life in order to save the day. But then the equation shifts because the bigger question is are you willing to sacrifice the one you love the most for the world? Thanos sacrifices Gamora, Peter was ready to kill her as well, Wanda destroyed Vision. In the end everyone is facing a great loss: Steve loses Bucky, Tony loses Peter, Okoye loses her king etc. Thanos himself is haunted by what he had to give in order to achive his goal.

And then we had Doctor Strange who explained that he would be ready to sacrifice Peter and Tony rather than giving away the time stone. And yet he does the exact opposite, he gives his stone to save Tony’s life. Why? Because he is the only one who has seen the version of the future where they won. And for that they need Tony alive.

Some more things:

- Thor. This is the character where I am really curious what they plan to do with him in the future... that is if he has a future. Because all the supporting characters of the Thor movies died (well obviously Valkyrie didn’t, I refuse to believe that). All of Asgard is gone. Loki is gone, who has always been a huge part of Thor’s story (and I don’t think he will come back). Sure Thor could fly through the galaxy with Rocket and Groot, but it is more likely he will sacrifice himself. He said it himself, what else does he have to lose? And that is also why his character was different then what we saw in Thor 3. He lost his entire world. He is in mourning. And he might be one of the few powerfull enough to stop Thanos. I think he will play a significant role but also that his story will end.

- You don’t do things like planing your wedding or thinking about children in Superhero movies Tony, because chances are high you are not going to do either.

- Bruce returning and being completely lost to what happened since he left. Someone get him a copy of “Civil War”.

- Peter saving the day because he has seen way too many movies. and speaking of Peter, I want the otherPeter to return to earth and catch up on all the good movies he has missed since he left.

- I think Thanos is interesting in that way that he doesn’t simply want to destroy everything. In his mind he tries to correct the (overfilled) universe and he shows mercy by letting the people vanish instead of killing them. His regret over Gamora’s death is sincere. I still think he looks ridiculous but they gave the character more depth, especially through his connection with Gamora. The Marvel villians that worked best have always been the ones who had a personal connection to our heroes. Loki worked because he was Thor’s brother. Killmonger worked because he was T’Challa’s cousin. The strongest scene was when it was revealved that Thanos did love somebody after all, but that he was also willing to sacrifice what he loved the most. And the fact that this act haunts him might become important in order to defeat him.

- Also hello again Red Skull, who totally looked like a dementor at first, and who I think half the cinema forgot existed because the first Cap movie is higly underrated.

- Both romantic couples we saw in the movie - Wanda & Vision and Peter & Gamora - mirrored Thanos act. Peter was ready to kill Gamora, Wanda destroyed Vision. But wereas Thanos was acting selfish, Peter and Wanda acted out of love. Both times we heard the characters who were meant to die saying “I love you”. They chose their death, whereas Thanos took a life.

- There was not enough Steve Rogers in this movie. I also need an entire movie/series that shows me all of Steve, Sam and Natasha’s adeventures together.

- And look they didn’t confirm Steve/Nathasha to be a thing but they didn’t deny it as well, just saying. I’m glad however we saw no more Bruce/Natasha.

- Bucky seemed to found his peace in Wakanda, so it saddened me to see that his first instinct upon seeing his new army was to become a soldier again. And of course Rocket would have the hots for his arm, you all have been calling this.

- Shuri had way too little screentime, but I like that they confirmed that she is smarter than Bruce and Tony together.

- The Wanda/Widow/Okoye fighting scene. Women working together, women kicking ass together.

If you wanna share your thoughts with me, feel free to chat with me =)

I'm gonna send a lot :) :DC, Marvel, Borderlands, Gayperion, Carol Danvers

001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my (DC):

Favorite character: i have a lot of characters i really love in dc but no one really jumps out as my top favorite above all others…. i’m going to say selina because i love her in a lot of media and i picked up the current batman comic to read about her specifically (and then dropped them when she left lol, i’l have to pick up her solo series sometime too) 

Least Favorite character: hmmm………..i don’t know……….can i say jervis from gotham specifically? he makes my skin crawl in a very bad way and i kinda want to punch him in the face. although he also has his charming moments and i think his power-set makes for a very interesting villain hmmm. OH can i say all the various Big and Boring Cosmic Villains like Steppenwolf??? they all blur together and i just don’t care about any of them

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): selina/bruce, harley/pamela, oswald/ed, raven/beast boy, diana/steve

Character I find most attractive: diana aka wonder woman aka have my heart

Character I would marry: as much as i want to say diana, i feel like i would constantly be overwhelmed with awe around her so maybe that’s not a good idea………. can i marry bruce for his money?

Character I would be best friends with: if she wasn’t evil, pamela, she could be one of my fellow grad students (y’know, in another life). i would hang with steph too, she’s cool 

A random thought: dc was my first superhero love, teen titans specifically, and that show probably laid the groundwork for what i want in my superhero teams. also i should get back to reading dc comics

An unpopular opinion: i don’t think this is unpopular exactly but the joker is overused, there are so many other good batman villains 

My canon OTP: bruce/selina (GIVE ME THEIR WEDDING YOU COWARDS)

Non-canon OTP: harley/pamela except it’s canon in some verses if i remember correctly sooooooooooooooooo :) 

Most badass character: i want to say diana……..and i can’t think of anyone more badass so

Pairing I am not a fan of: clark/diana is just Bad, what were they thinking?

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): it’s comics, who hasn’t been screwed up by a writer at some point? ok but jokes aside, no one specific is coming to mind right now

Favourite friendship: i love all the batfam so *points at all of them* 

001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my (Marvel):

Favorite character: i don’t know how you could possibly expect me to choose a single character when there are so many………….. carol at the moment, kamala and mj and peter (parker, not quill) in general are at the top of the list too

Least Favorite character: ……………….there’s probably someone i hate…… but no one is coming to mind…… i guess thanos? i can’t believe he got a solo series 

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): the spidey ot4 (peter/harry/gwen/mj), steve/tony, carol/jessica, carol/maria, clint/natasha

Character I find most attractive: ooooooooo, a good question. i think i’ll go with carol because brie larson is

Character I would marry: if it had to be a superhero, janet. if not, gwen and we would run away together and never get involved with the angst of superheroes

Character I would be best friends with: maybe cindy moon (she likes pokemon! and is just a lovely person!) or gwen 

A random thought: in the avengers tower that absolutely exists and that they all live in (at least part of the time), tony builds additional rooms for all the new members. he puts glowing stars up in carol’s room and calls her space-face and laughs when she chooses star wars for movie night because of course that’s what you pick, danvers    

An unpopular opinion: spider-man h*mecoming is bad and it isn’t a comics-accurate adaptation of spider-man, let alone the most accurate

My canon OTP: any of the canon ships within the ot4 - but if i had to choose just one, it’d be peter/mj. all the good comics history

Non-canon OTP: THE SPIDEY OT4, MY ULTIMATE MARVEL SHIP

Most badass character: CAROL ‘SORRY I’M A BADASS’ DANVERS

Pairing I am not a fan of: sp*deypool is the ultimate notp. i don’t get why it has such a massive following

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): see my above point about comics (though the other thing about comics is that once there’s a switch in writers, it often resolves itself). currently, i feel this way about peter (although i’m behind so maybe spencer’s undid all the slott nonsense) + eddie and the symbiote (not so much their individual characters but the relationship between them)

Favourite friendship: steve and carol and tony currrently

001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my (Borderlands):

Favorite character: lilith or fiona

Least Favorite character: i love them all but salvador is….. well i just don’t have as much of a connection to him (sorry sal) 

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): lilith/roland, brick/mordecai, fiona/rhys, rhys/vaughn, athena/janey

Character I find most attractive: lilith. also amara who may outcompete lilith, we shall see

Character I would marry: would i marry any of them?? (the answer is no but i guess if i had to, maybe janey? at the very least, she could repair any problems in our house)

Character I would be best friends with: janey possibly

A random thought: each set of vault hunters is a weird dysfunctional family and nothing can convince me otherwise (i will be sorely disappointed if the bl2 gang aren’t close in bl3)

An unpopular opinion: there’s more to borderlands than handsome jack and i wish fandom would focus on some of the other characters more 

My canon OTP: lilith/roland or athena/janey

Non-canon OTP: rhys/vaughn just edges out fiona/rhys

Most badass character: zer0

Pairing I am not a fan of: rhys/handsome jack

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): no one really except where they killed roland and it was sad

Favourite friendship: i love timothy and athena as friends 

002 | send me a ship and I will tell you (gayperion):

when or if I started shipping it: i think it was sometime during episode 1???? i can’t remember a specific moment, it just kinda happened

my thoughts: they’re very good and it would be even more amazing for them to date now. can you imagine the ceo of atlas with the scruffy leader of a bandit gang (who also happens to be a math nerd)? SO GOOD 

What makes me happy about them: they’re best friends, they have a lot of stupid jokes between them, they very clearly would go to the end of the earth for each other

What makes me sad about them: the fear that they may never interact in bl3

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: there isn’t enough fic for me to have noticed any annoying tropes

Things I look for in fanfic: any fic in general

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: rhys/fiona

My happily ever after for them: they haven’t spoken for a while but vaughn comes along on sanctuary (idk how he ends up there, maybe he’s upset with his bandits leaving for the children of the vault) and then he hears rhys’ voice over the comm for the first time in YEARS, he could cry, he’s so happy. anyway us vault hunters help rhys out with his maliwan problem, vaughn and rhys reunite, there are tears and hugs and then they kiss and have to figure out what they want (hint: they want to be together forever but rhys has a company and vaughn has his bandits and they need to navigate that complexity - but they do and it’s awesome)

003 | Give me a character & I will tell you (carol danvers):

How I feel about this character: if you told me last year that i would fall in love with carol, and read everything i could with her, i probably would not have believed you. but here i am, almost caught up with the captain marvel comics and helplessly in love with her. i love her bravery, her humor, her impulsiveness, her kindness, her fight-me attitude, her determination, her cockiness - really i love everything about her and i’m inspired by her drive to be better and to protect as many people as she can (also the whole speech but especially this quote at the end of captain marvel (2012) #1: and we will be the stars we were always meant to be GETS me every time i see it, i love ambitious ladies who reach for the stars)

All the people I ship romantically with this character: carol/jess is the ultimate 616 otp while carol/maria is the ultimate mcu otp. i also like carol/rhodey and i read a ship manifesto for carol/wanda that has made me interested in learning more about them

My non-romantic OTP for this character: steve and tony, i can’t choose between her two relationships with them because they’re both so good (it might be tony??? he helped her through aa and i love their snark? but then steve and carol are also very good). also in the mcu, nick fury, their chemistry is GOLD 

My unpopular opinion about this character: i hate that so many people have started putting carol into the role of peter’s mom/aunt, not every adult that interacts with him is automatically his parental figure and she has no real reason to feel that way towards him. also they went on a couple dates in the comics and even though i don’t ship it, it’s weird to think about

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: LET HER DATE A WOMAN

My OTP: …………how could i possibly choose between carol/jess and carol/maria………….they’re both so good in different ways

My OT3: i don’t have one for her although now i’m considering whether a jess/carol/maria situation would work idk i feel like it wouldn’t just because there would be this imbalance in two of them having superpowers and maria unable to join in their superhero battles so??? idk. i need to think about it a little more
