I don't think it took me as long to get to as Thor 2

[awanderingbard]

I finally got around to watching Cap 2 tonight. Very enjoyable, though I have a headache now. Worth the headache, definitely, but I'm glad I didn't try to see it in theatres.



I always have trouble when people speak French in English movies. I keep reading the subtitles going 'that's not what he said!'

I got stupidly pleased that Fury had a shockable rhythm when they defibrillated him. They didn't shock a flatline! Go medical researchers!

I kind of want Fury's car robot and JARVIS to be friends.

Sam Wilson had a lot to live up to given how much good stuff I have heard about him, and he definitely did. He is a very charming, very nice young man.



Now if I can get my hands on Iron Man 3 and I watch Guardians of the Galaxy when it is realeased, I should be up-to-date on my MCU. Except for Agents of SHIELD, because I could never get into that.

Though I could totally picture her barking playfully at Sam's daemon during the 'on your left' bit at the beginning,

Hee! I picture Sam's daemon (I made her a slender mongoose) lying on the grass next to Sam, completely exhausted while Issie runs a few circles around her, yipping.

JARVIS: I really am not sure that--that is very intriguing coding.
CAR ROBOT: Thank you. You have several functions superior to mine.
Tony: Aww, see, I knew you two would hit it off.

Eeee! I feel like Fury would be annoyed by this. Mainly because I imagine the Car Robot later asking Fury if he can go visit the Avengers Tower again whenever Fury gets in the car.

Issie: Running is my favourite thing! I like it the best. Except for door smashing. That's fun, too. But running's my favourite.
Letty: That's cool. I'm glad you get a kick out of that. I'm just gonna chill here, though. But you run. Do what you feel.

Car Robot: I have calculated three routes appropriate for your journey. I recommend the second.
Fury: That takes me down this backass street in the middle of nowhere. It's fifteen minutes longer.
Car Robot: It takes us past--
Fury: I'm not going to Avengers Tower, I'm going to the grocery store.
Car Robot: Fine. I was just making a suggestion. Take whatever route you want. *irritated turning signal*

Letty: That's cool. I'm glad you get a kick out of that. I'm just gonna chill here, though. But you run. Do what you feel.

I see Letty completely flopped down on her back and waving a paw, telling Issie to knock herself out while Issie is like, "Run! Running! Run!!!"

I was drinking tea while reading this. I now I have tea stains down my shirt. It's fine. I mean, I didn't know one can laugh and wince at the same time but there you go.

I'm sort of giggling at the idea of this going on in the background while Sam and Steve have their semi-serious conversation. Issie sort of lowering her front down with her butt in the air and her tail wagging, bouncing around while Steve thoughtfully discusses modern life and army life.

I'm so sorry! My love of anthropomorphising inanimate objects gets away from me. I have a can of compressed air for cleaning off my laptop on the desk here and it says 'I'll help you clean' on it, and I totally went 'awww' the first time I read it, because it wants to be helpful. And the French uses the formal form of 'you', so it's a polite can of compressed air, too.

My Howard/Dejeni-centric fic is a little like this. Howard and Bucky are vaguely talking about important army things while Dejeni is practically jumping over Shess to show her something.

Oh, and now that you've seen the movie, I can show you this.

To me, this is less Steve trying to high five and rather a fight technique that rarely gets used. Slap the opponent!

I have a scene in a fic I'm working on where Mycroft and Sherlock are bantering back and forth about Q's status as a gypsy orphan and being very light-hearted, while Tzophiya and HIsoka cricle each other on the floor, because things are still pretty tense there, relationship wise. The difference between what humans are doing and what their daemons are doing is one of my favourite things.

Steve Rogers doesn't shoot people, he just high fives them and pretends to be a turtle.

Yes. Like the way running is Issie's favorite thing, this is my favorite thing.

He's come a long way since the days of trying to punch people twice his size in alleys.

I don't know, maybe he was trying to high five them then, too, and just not very good at it. And he was being a turtle with the garbage can lid. It was basically the roots of his future fighting techniques.

Issie: Slap him in the face!
Steve: That's not how you fight like a man!
Issie: Well, fighting like a man isn't working very well, is it? Slap him in the face!

And he was being a turtle with the garbage can lid.

It's ironic that when he was smaller he didn't cover his body completely but after he grew an extra 8 inches he can curl up perfectly behind the shield.

Issie: Slap him in the face!
Steve: That's not how you fight like a man!
Issie: Well, fighting like a man isn't working very well, is it? Slap him in the face!

Hahaha!!!

Maybe he's more flexible now that he's been Super Soldiered, and he can curl up more effectively. He'd probably have had an asthma attack from compressing himself too much.

I'm off to bed now. G'night!
