Requisite Avengers What-Are-Lowercase-Letters-Anyway Flailpost

Kind of late to the party, I know, but for what it's worth....

In no particular order:

-JOSS WHEDON. :DD

-CLARK GREGG.

-JOSS WHEDON. DD:<

-Speaking of Joss Whedon, I love how even though he's got this big blockbuster movie full of megastars and he probably didn't have a lot of control over the casting, he still managed to find bit parts for Ashley Johnson and Enver Gjokaj. I can just see him, like, "GUYS, GUYS, CHECK IT OUT, I GOT HIRED TO DO THIS TOTALLY AWESOME BLOCKBUSTER COMIC BOOK MOVIE, HEY, HEY, WE'RE BROS, DO YOU WANNA BE IN MY AWESOME BLOCKBUSTER COMIC BOOK MOVIE? :DD" As is typical of my life, I was the only person in the theater flipping out when Enver Gjokaj showed up on the screen as like, Random Cop #2. NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ME. T_T /forever alone

-The rest of the audience was totally with me on, like, everything else. HULK VS. LOKI OH MY FUCKING GOD, THE SCREAMING LAUGHTER AND THE CHEERING AND CLAPPING AND HAVE I MENTIONED THE LAUGHTER, WHOLE THEATER IN HYSTERICS, I AM GOING TO HAVE TO REWATCH JUST FOR THAT SCENE BECAUSE WE WERE ALL LAUGHING SO HARD I MISSED THAT LAST LINE.

-LOKIIIIIIIII~!!

-CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE COMEDIC TIMING IN THIS MOVIE IN GENERAL, OMG.

-ALSO THE GRATUITOUS BATTLING. Creative team was like, how many different combinations of Avenger vs. Avenger, Avenger vs. Loki, and Avenger vs. Scary Alien can we fit into this movie? HOW ABOUT ALL OF THEM.

-I have to admit this movie was occasionally kind of predictable, but always only in the very best way, like, it's so awesome you're just happy you were right.

-NAT AND CLINT. ♥

-BRUCE AND TONY. ♥

-"I GOT THAT REFERENCE! :DD" OH STEVE YOU POOR THING YOU ARE SO ADORABLE OMG.

-SPEAKING OF ADORABLE, PHIL COULSON'S GIDDY FANBOYING.

-ALSO "HIS NAME WAS PHIL" AA;SGJKHFALKHSFLA;KSHGSFS.

-THOR AND LOKI JUST MAKE OUT ALREADY FOR FUCK'S SAKE, SERIOUSLY.

-Lol Bruce Banner, they just had to give him a purple shirt. XD

-SHAWARMAAAAAAAAAAA~!!! XDDDDDDDDDDD

...SO WHEN DO WE GET TO HAVE THE SEQUEL?!

Can I also mention, the previews: new trailers for The Dark Knight Rises, Prometheus, and Brave, all movies I am SUPER FUCKING EXCITED ABOUT, and also The Amazing Spider-Man, which I am... tentatively excited about? They're doing a really unusual and interesting interpretation of the canon with this one... but I have to say, the scene where the guy pulls a knife on Spidey, AA;SLHGKALSFAKJSKAHFJSFLS REASON ENOUGH TO SEE THE MOVIE, THAT RIGHT THERE IS THE SPIDEY I KNOW AND LOVE. ♥

YES YESSSSSSS YES TO ALLLLL OF THIS. *_____________* OH MY GOD JOSS YOU TOSSER. EXCEPT I KNOW PHIL ISN'T DEAD BECAUSE JOSS KIND OF WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO STUFF IN ALLLL THE HINTS THROUGHOUT. :DD

UGH JOSS. SRSLY. I'VE MISSED HIM. SO MUCH. ALL THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT HIM. SUCH MASTERY OF SUBJECT AND CHARACTER. MY FAVOURITE PART WAS EVERYTHING.

ALSO, STEVE. I AM COMPLETELY, IRREVOCABLY IN LOVE WITH STEVE. JESUS CHRIST JOSS I THINK WAS MOST EFFECTIVE WITH SHOWING STEVE'S CHARACTER WITHOUT SHOVING IT IN OUR FACES. *________*

ANYWAY I AM SO HAPPY YOU HAD A GOOD TIME!! <33333333

Okay, what are these hints? Convince me. Aside from IT'S A MARVEL MOVIE, EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE, and the fact that they've established that Nick Fury is a Lying Liar and You Can't Trust Him. (And then there's the comics, which is an interesting problem... obviously they couldn't leave Coulson out of them because then the fans would've been like WAIT WHERE'S COULSON, OH SNAP WHAT IF HE'S DEAD, but it does cause issues with continuity if he does actually kick the bucket.) ...I feel like, Joss being Joss, he would've wanted to actually kill him, and, honestly, I would want to let him. I love Coulson, but... well that's why, actually. It loses the intended impact if he's not really dead. (Idk, I've been with Joss Whedon so long now, I hath drunk the Kool-Aid, I've totally gotten on board with his psychopathic need to kill people. XD;)

Of course, Joss' wishes and opinions may not be paramount... this is the Marvel franchise, and Joss has no control over it. I have to say, if he is alive, I will cackle gleefully because OH MY GOD FURY YOU EVIL MANIPULATIVE FUCK. ♥

I have to say... this movie definitely had its flaws (picking one out of a hat, GOSH IT SURE WAS EASY FOR THOR TO GET BACK TO MIDGARD AFTER ALL, LET'S HANDWAVE THE ISSUE IN A SINGLE THROWAWAY LINE, and this is my sad face, by the way, I wanted Jane to be the one to bring him back, that would've been so much more satisfying, instead she got swept into a corner, she and Thor didn't even get to see each other, lame), BUT... imagine, if you will, the impossible task of writing this insane freaking movie, where you have to bring together all of these massive superheroes for the very first time and give them all equal treatment AND have a plot in there somewhere... this movie should have SUCKED DONKEY BALLS and it DIDN'T, and that, I think, is where Joss' talent really shows. HE DID THE IMPOSSIBLE, fucking give him a standing ovation, jesus. ...But yes, as always, he wrote flawless characterization and dialogue and physical humor, everything was sad and funny and human and that's what he's good at, and that's what held the movie together, it just wouldn't have worked at all otherwise, it really would've been horrible.

...Although I did just go cruise Rotten Tomatoes to see what the critics think, it looks like they're pretty much in line with my thoughts on things, but Christopher Orr says something about Joss' 'unexpected knack for action choreography' which, just. What. HAVE YOU SEEN SERENITY? OR DOLLHOUSE? OR ANYTHING JOSS HAS DONE BEFORE, HONESTLY, UNEXPECTED MY ASS.

Steve was adooooooorable, I spent the whole movie wanting to give him a hug and ruffle his hair and stuff. Oh, honey, STEVE.

Ummmmm I'm mostly just REFUSING TO CONTEMPLATE him being dead. ;_______; But. Well.

Clark Gregg has repeatedly mentioned that he's in upcoming films. Also he said that Joss once told him (when Gregg asked him, because, well, JOSS) if he was in danger of being killed off, Joss laughed and said, no, I have plans for you, you're safe. SO THERE. :DD (That's really my one argument for this outcome.) Also: Marvel have brought out a comic called Battle Scars w/ Coulson front and centre of it, and The Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon is timelined post-Avengers. Couple all this with FURY IS A LYING MANIPULATIVE BASTARD WHO LIES, AND, WELL. THERE YOU HAVE IT.

ALSO, THOUGH, apparently Kevin Fiege and Marvel are working on a Special Project concerning Agent Coulson. Add to that the fact that Clark Gregg is the best fucking PR Marvel are ever likely to get, and that's the only conclusion I can reach. ALSO I LOVE COULSON SO FUCKING MUCH AND I REFUSE TO BELIEVE HE'S DEAD. R E F U S E. FOR MY SANITY. DDDD': My money is on another short pointing and laughing at those who fell for Coulson's supposed death. :D

Yes, the movie def had its flaws. (I wanted Jane and Darcy back so bad, too! :( Still, Thor 2 starts shooting soon...) But Joss, man. As if I didn't worship the fucker before. Wow. He's the one man I might just kneel for if he came a-knocking. :D

STEEEEEEEBE OH, ANGE, I HAVE ALLLLL THE STEEEEEEEBE FEELS IN. THE. WORLD. :')))))))))))))) SO ANGRY AND SO GOOD AND SO STUBBORN AND SO FUCKING HUMAN AND JUST. STEEEEEBE LET ME MAKE YOU HAPPY WITH FIC. <333333

Hmmmm, okay, that's some pretty convincing off-screen evidence. ...HEY, FINE BY ME, I LOVES ME SOME PHIL COULSON LOTS.
