So okay technically Thor 2 should come before Cap 2 but I didn’t want to watch Thor 2 on my birthday, i wanted to watch Cap 2 on my birthday BECAUSE IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY. nobody wants Thor 2 for their birthday it’s a hot mess of a movie with an incredible cast just all tangled up in a really intensely bad script.

BUT DAMN THO If i could just watch a mastercut of the Thor and Loki scenes, with additional Darcy and Selveig for comic relief, I’d be ALL! OVER! THAT!

( ta daaaaaaaa )

AKA THE MIGHTY PRE-ENDGAME REWATCH CONTINUES WITH CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER

I posted this on tumblr like. a while back. it took me a while to drag my butt over to dreamwidth is all. it was my birthday and then there was so much snow holy shit. ANYWAY I'M HERE NOW, and we're watching Thor 2: The Thorkening tonight so I gotta post this Right Now!

( IT’S A PARTY! WE GOT COOL RANCH DORITOS AND BRAINWASHED SUPERSOLDIERS LET’S DO THIS. )

Current Mood: embarrassed

me at The Rooommate (aka @goteamwin): is this our favorite Iron Man movie?

The Roommate, after due consideration: this might be our favorite Iron Man movie.

anyway, on with the rewatch

“we create our own demons” yeah maybe you do, Tony. the rest of us get therapy for that shit.
DAMN, MARVEL, BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THE FLASHBACKS?

( a cheap trick and a cheesy one liner )

Current Mood: mellow
Current Location: about to sit down to dinner
Current Music: spiderman spiderman does whatever a spider can

AKA ok but why isn’t it called avengers assemble tho

Avengers is a movie that has not aged well for either me or The Roommate (aka @goteamwin) and we had a whole conversation about how at the time it came out we were excited about Avengers, even though neither of us were yet hip-deep in the Marvel fandom. But we were !excited! because !Joss Whedon! and now we are ?disappointed? because ?Joss Whedon?

This movie, in retrospect, might be The Tipping Point of Joss Whedon’s career? like? It contains everything that was Great about his movies but also contains the seeds of his ultimate self-destruction.

ANYWAY ON WITH THE REWATCH, AKA STEVE ROGERS AND THE CUBE THAT WOULDN’T FUCKING DIE

this opening scene is so expositiony and on the one hand at least it doesn’t contain a flashback but on the other hand? it’s bad?? It’s a bad start???
- sidenote by The Roommate: so i know that it was recently confirmed that Loki was being mind-controlled in Avengers but also. Was there ever any question about whether Loki was being mind controlled? or am I just That Fangirl
  - Sidenote to the sidenote, By Me: She is not That Fangirl, but i suspect that she was perilously close to becoming That Fangirl at some point in her past.
oh hey phil’s here

( BAH! BAH BAH baBAH BAHHHH BAHHHHHHH! (this is the avengers theme) )

Current Mood: confused
Current Location: back on my bullshit
Current Music: why aren't you in bed you dumb baby by me

THE MIGHTY ENDGAME REWATCH CONTINUES WITH KENNETH BRANAGH’S thor

How did I spend New Year’s? Continuing our mighty pre-endgame rewatch with The Roommate ( @goteamwin ) and The Gal Pal ( @pegasuschick ). We’re watching Thor, the Kenneth Branagh-i-est of the Marvel Movies.

Note: We were all. Very Drunk.

“You know what’s worked great in all our movies so far? TIME JUMPS!” - every early marvel film.
right away I comment to The Roommate: What is up with all these angled shots?
- The Roommate, a video editor and producer: Actually that’s called a canted shot.
- Me, mere moments later: not a lot of shots in this that AREN’T canted, are there.
  - seriously, watch this movie. If I made note of every canted shot, these rewatch notes would be 90% CANT.

( HUARGH!!! )

Current Mood: groggy
Current Location: 2019!
Current Music: new Captain Marvel Spot!

Typing this up the morning after The Roommate @goteamwin and I watched Iron Man Two and upon reflection, the movie is about 800x better if you think of Rhodes or Nat as the POV character, with Tony as the main villain – because let’s face it, Tony is always the main villain of the Iron Man franchise (and other franchises too, sometimes)

ANYWAY ON WITH THE REWATCH.

( James Rhodes and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day )

Current Mood: amused

THE MIGHTY ENDGAME REWATCH CONTINUES: PART THREE

The Gal Pal has joined us, so tonight we are three (@goteamwin is the Roommate and @pegasuschick is the Gal Pal.) This time we ALL pregamed with booze and cookies.
Further note: It Has Been Years and I Still Miss The Old Marvel Logo

( Bah! Bah! Bah da-dah. Badabadabadadah bah dah dah! (<-- this is the iron man song) )

Part One, CATFA, is HERE

Part Two in our personal In-Universe Chronology is The Incorrect Hulk. Which I think really should come before Iron Man beacuse A: it’s a natural follow up from Superserum Steve to show Superserum Oh We Fucked Up, but B: the Tony who comes to Ross at the end of the movie really feels more like a pre-Afghanistan tony. I know he’s heavily hinting at the Avengers yadda yadda yadda, but I’m sorry the movie is wrong it should be pre iron man, EMBRACE THE TRUTH Y’ALL.

ON WITH THE MOVIE

this movie has a surprisingly strong opening? like, despite the overall comic-book-ness of it i am On Board, and it gets the audience a good grasp of where the Hulk comes from without getting bogged down and I actually? like? that?
*clicks scientist pen* let’s see if we can pinpoint the exact moment it goes Awry.

( ohhhhhhhhh my god it's bad it's so bad y'all )

Current Mood: irate
Current Location: in a wooooorld of pure sleep deprivation
Current Music: yawning, by me

(crossposting from tumblr so qnighty can have somewhere else to yell at me <3<3<3)

Did anyone else do the big "Watch One Movie A Week Starting Jan 1 and You'll Have Seen Them All Before IW" thing? I did, and it was HILARIOUS and also SUPER FUN and The Roommate and I will be doing it again this year and I though HEY LET ME LIVEBLOG THIS EXPERIENCE. You know. For Posterity.

I convinced her to do it in-universe chronological order this time, so we started with CATFA.

Roommate pregamed with booze and cookies, so she’ll be appropriately numbed to Steve’s Suffering, Part One. “Here it comes” she says, in the softest saddest voice.

( read the rest and suffer with usssss... )

Current Mood: devious
