Everything Awful. Someone Do Something.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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?
