Everything Awful. Someone Do Something.

[redbrunja]

I was scrolling through tumblr and I came across this:





and I made this loud groan/shriek of unhappiness.

I wanted the opposite of this.



Also, tumblr's update is just as terrible and people were saying. It is awful and totally dragging safari down and on the plus side, this may make it really easy to stay OFF tumblr, which can only be good for my time management.

I had the same reaction to that interview. I just want explosions, I do not want love triangles, Marvel what are you doing. I can write romance my damn self ugh GLORIOUS BATTLES AND BADASSERY THAT IS WHAT I WANT. Why can’t Sif and Jane just go on a roadtrip with Natasha and Darcy for the whole movie and the four of them can end up saving all the realms with science and sass and ass-kicking and Thor and the Warriors Three congratulate them heartily and and they all return to Asgard and have a victory feast celebrating these awesome ladies and Frigga can be like GOOD JOB LADIES, THIS IS WHY I APPOINTED YOU FOR THE SPECIAL MISSION and Odin is like "How did I not know about this?! Dammit ravens you had one job."

(If there has to be romance, why can't it be Thor/Jane with a delicious side of Sif/Loki's bruised ego? ;) Just saying, just saying.)

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS POST IS COSIGNED.

EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER WANTED. ALL I HAVE EVER WANTED. LADIES TEAMING UP TO GET SHIT DONE.

PREACH.

LADIES TEAMING UP TO GET SHIT DONE IS BASICALLY MY FAVORITE THING, MARVEL DO YOU HEAR ME, NO MORE LOVE TRIANGLES. ARG.

I am happy to write this shit myself, and hey, ladies teaming up to get shit done is totally what I'm writing for heroinebigbang and I am going to love every second of it because TEAM OF LADY BADASSES FUCK YEAH, but IT WOULD BE LOVELY if I could see that shit at a theatre near me, you know? MARVEL WHY MUST YOU DO ME THIS WAY.

Sigh.

Sif/Loki's bruised ego needs to be a tag on AO3, y/mfy?

Do you know how happy I would be if I never had another love triangle invade fiction I otherwise liked? So happy.

I'm on Opera, Tumblr still looks the same.

I ship everyone with everyone so I'm cool with anything...as long as the script and direction doesn't suck.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Noted, I'll have to give Opera a whirl.

WHAAAAAAA

Nope, Jane/Thor is just... fact. And Sif/Awesomeness is fact. Sif/Like-I-Give-A-Shit. Sif/Maybe-I-Go-For-Ladies.

Sif and Thor are total bros, that is what I wanted, that is all I want for them.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

RIGHT? There were NO indications that Sif and Thor were anything but bros, especially given how while Thor is staring longingly into space after his scientist gf, Sif is having ~meaningful conversations~ with Frigga about Loki. Like... there is not a romance between these characters.

At this point, the thing I'm worried about most is Sif being handed to Thor as a prize. And I fucking hate that.

It reminds me of a post I saw recently about Trek '09 and Spock/Uhura, and how one reason why it was so awesome is because the expectation is that Uhura is going to get together with Kirk. From the beginning, that's the expectation. Then it doesn't happen and neither Uhura or Spock are defined by their relationship to Kirk. That's what I wanted for Sif. I didn't want her to be defined by her relationship with Thor.

That's not to say that I don't think Thor/Sif could be done well and handled respectfully, I'm just not sure I trust the current production staff to look at them as equals.

Plus, I'm bitter because I can't help but think that if women had remained a fundamental part of the production team, this wouldn't be happening with Sif.

Agreed. As a side note, having to watch Kirk and Uhura hook up or have cliched banter and UST while Kirk sluts around was one reason I actually did not originally have much desire to see the movie. YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW DELIGHTED I WAS TO BE WRONG.

I AM A FANNISH FREAK AND DON'T EVEN LIKE THREESOMES. THEY STRESS ME OUT SO MUCH.

I JUST WANT TWO CHARACTERS TO MACK ON EACH OTHER. A COUPLE. ONE PENIS OR LESS. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR?

I understand that Sif/Thor is the awesomely epic thing in the comics, and I theoretically like it? I mean they're both big dumb Viking warriors (that aren't actually dumb) with dorky smiles. (Remember when Sif and the Warriors Three found Thor on Earth and then smiled and waved at him through the glass door? CHEERFUL WARRIOR BABIES!!)

So I sort of ship it, but I like them as friends. If Jane hadn't been established as a love interest, then that would be one thing. But she was! Please no love triangles. :(

Also, like. Given that Asgardians live so much longer than humans, I don't see why it's necessary to have a romantic aspect at this point in time. They could be COMRADES who will maybe make out in a century or two. Or they used to non-seriously date, currently enjoy their friendship, and who knows about the future?

*nods*

Yeah, my problem is not such much at the idea of theoretical Sif/Thor, but of the fact that Thor has already been set up with a love interest who is going to be in the next movie. There is NO WAY to not write Sif and Thor in anyway but that leads to a love triangle. And I fucking hate love triangles.

I wanted the opposite of this.

MTE.

why all the women NEED to have a love interest?? marvel, get your shit together
as much as i like clint/natasha, i was kinda disappointed that they gave her a love-ish relationship.
women do not need this

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

What I really like about Clint and Natasha's relationship in the movie is that 1.) It isn't a straight romance (and it's arguably platonic) and 2.) CLINT FUNCTIONS LIKE A GIRLFRIEND IN A ACTION MOVIE. His purpose in that movie is to raise the stakes for Natasha and to give insight into HER backstory and personality.

SADFACE. TO EVERYTHING. :(

[iki-teru.livejournal.com]

D: No! NoNoNoNoNoNoNo!

Why can we not have awesome superhero movies without there being an underlying romantic plot? Do they really think that's the only way to get us ladies into theaters? by showing kick-ass fem-warriors "vulnerable side" as they make googly eyes at the lead?
