*Obligatory fangirlish blog entry about an awesomest movie the writer has recently seen*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Okay, so I watched Avengers. And I obviously LIKED IT. I seriously walked to the theater wit the mindset "OK superhero movies haven't sucked massively lately, and because the power of Joss Whedon, It might be good". I also didn't planon going to the premiere, but a friend invited me to fill an empty seat(I paid for it though). BUT BOY WAS IT LIKE, THE BEST MOVIE LATELY EVER. Even thogugh it contained characters I disliked from other superhero movies, like Captain America(might watch one day) and Thor(Never will see). They were also made interesting, which was a pleasant surprise.

  Right now, I'd ask you to sit back, take a comfortable position, something to drink, and maybe something to eat, and spoilers will follow. So, If you haven't watched the movie yet, GO ALREADY, then come back, and read on.

  The movie's beginning let me know of itself only when the subtitles hit the screen, which wasn't neccessarily a bad thing. There was no text in the beginning whatsoever, nothing to tell where we were or so on. Actually, the beginning must've been the weakest part of the movie, as it states only that Loki is a bad guy, and Fury can't fight him alone, thus he called code seven and declared war. And that Hill exist only to get shot/car crashed/hit/violenced. Acting work was also pretty bad, mostly extras, Fury&Loki, so it's not so big surprise. Also I loved the car symbolism in the beginning sequence's car chase. Bad guys were driving a Hummer H3(not  Humvee), and the good guys were operating either some regular civil car or a Jeep, because Hummer=Bad. Also the H3 was the only Hummer of the cars, the rest were just plain military HMMWV. Also was the only black Hummer. Symbolism declared. After these happenings the beginning screen hits you in the face with the subtlety of a piano dropped off a cliff. That's none whatsoever if someone didn't catch it.
Also, Fury seems to just be so badass that he's bulletproof. Him taking hits continuously is never explained in the flick. Also his clothing is too tight-fitting to conceal any modern bulletproof vests, but I settle for him being badass enough just to not die whe he oughta.

  Following sequence took the better part of the first hour of the movie, where they quickly introduced the cast for the watchers not familiar with the Avengers beforehand, which was conceived surprisingly well, with obvious Whedonian humour elements with certain members of the cast *COUGH*Stark, Captain*COUGH* Also brings me to wonder, is every single superhero in the 'verses taught to fight with stool legs? Which is awesome in it's own right, of course.

 Introduction was followed with the capture of Loki and Loki's forces' assault on the Mothership Helicarrier(Which I will return to later, otherwise I'll be disoriented), which took the shorter part of the first hour of the movie, during which was also the obligatory fight between the Avengers, which was PORN. I mean it, concentrated awesomeness. Also introduced was a plot item I am genuinely proud that was not used in the end. It was a delicious plot device indeed. But when Jarvis' sweet machiney voice stated "Core output 400%" and Tony answered "How about that." I came in about sixteen different ways, only at that one scenes. Basically whenever Tony was on scree, I came multple times. I still wonder how my pants are in relatively one piece. Cap's(and Tony's) WWII nazi reference was a good one too, although worn. AND FURY DOESN'T TELL ANYTHING TO ANYONE.
  Also a matter that I'm proud Whedon managed, was that everyone in the cast got their moment to shine, even side characters like Coulson( I KNOW, IT'S SAD. BOTH HIS DEATH AND THE FACT THAT HE IS, INDEED, A SIDE CHARACTER. OH YEAH THIS WAS ALSO A SPOILER).
I'm beginning with an also again, to tell that jokes are tossed ALL THE TIME even by the "serious" characters, like Fury. Completely aside are the (homo)sexual tensions that most of the time aren't visible to untrained personnel, but other times just whacks you in the face, just to make clear it's still there. And nothing wrong with homosexuality and/or homosexual tensions.

  The ending half was basically just the Big End Battle, with nothing wrong with it. It just worked, and everyone again had their places which they, again, performed well. Only thing bugging me was Thor's comment about the alien army, when he said "They are Critaurs(?), no-one knows anything about them". How did he know they exist then?
  End resolution of the Nuke being tossed in the giant glowing anus in the sky by Tony was obvious, but working ending. The happening was tragic and romantic too, when Tony(Jarvis) tried to call Pepper, but didn't get through, showing that Tony, afterall, actually, has a heart. If he'd had died at that moment, I would have been happy with it. It was so well composed, and told so much of his character, that I would have let it pass. But luckily it didn't, and my(And obviosly the director's, too) favourite character is still alive. Speaking of which, Tony/Iron Man had unbelievably much screentime, In my theory because he's awesome, he's awesome, and also because he's awesome, without forgetting that he's awesome. And, oh so handsome too. (Bet you didn't see that coming).
ALSO MKVII IWANTITIWANTITIWANTITITWANTIT SO COOL AND SO MUCH MORE AWESOME THAN THE MKVI EXTREMIS I WANT IT.
ALSO THERE WAS TECHPORN. THERE WAS TECHPORN EVERYWHERE.
And here I'll return to the curious case of Mothership, which was the awesomest and obscurest vehicle in the world. I knew it was amphibious beforehand, so that didn't surprise me that much actually, but OH SO BEAUTIFUL BE MINE. It was fragile though. I'd think it'd be designed so, that it'd be able to hover with 50%thrust, but it seems to almost topple over at the temporare loss of one, which is kinda stupid. But plotpoint, Tony needed something to do, something to be cool with, and instate that Cap is an idiot regarding science. Second thing tht bugged me was the overlapping twin flight decks. Only one of them would be capable of landing an aircraft, and most of the vehicles(WHICH WERE PRETTY TOO) were V/STOL capable. Which reminds me of Hulk smashing a Harrier, which made me creak in horror, pain, and tears. It was a sad moment. ALSO FURY FIRING AN RPG AT A PLANE CARRYING A NUKE. BAD FUCKING ASS.

 Ok, before my fingers either melt or merge with my keyboard, I'll wrap up with Pro's and Con's.

Pro's:
-Avengers' interaction with eachother. Pure comedic gold.
-TECHPOORN. TECHPORN EVERYWHERE.
-Wonderful acting performances
-Joss Whedon(What?)
-Cool baddies
-Ludicruos jokes EVERYWHERE

Con's:
-Weak opening
-Few science/physics facts
-Hill's unneccessariness

If at this point it isn't clear, I LIKED/LOVED IT GO WATCH IT NOW IF YOU DISREGARDED MY EARLIER NOTE. Definitely going to buy the DVD when it comes out for rewatch&extras.
What? A positive review from me? MADNESS? SPARTA?! No, a great movie. Yes, they do exist.
And they are out there.

Waiting...

Always forward...never left or right.

Today was an another one of those days. Days when I wander in thought, reminiscent my past, think of different scenarios, how things could have ended, how thing should have ended.
It ends in grief. It always does.
 I'm at an intersection right now. A three-forked road. One has a certain goal, but the road is rough, one has good odds, but high stakes, and the last one is a shot in the dark, a dance on a misty minefield.
I have gambled alot with my life, and lost enough. Though still the chance of winning and claiming all from the table intrigues me. Clarity would be a good change to my life of lies and betrayal, but then again, a leap into the unknown might just be the thing I need. Too bad faith and I aren't at exactly good terms.
In other words, I have no clue what to do. And I can't keep hoping forever that things become clearer or some options remove themselves from the equation(some of them might be the right path afterall. If there is such a thing, that is of course)

The thought returns...

And here I am, fighting with my feelings again. I thought I knew better than to fall for someone(or someones) again, but I guess one can't defy one's heart.
 But, inevitably I will come over the only conclusion of the trial of a new relationship to be redundant, as as far as my experience shows, it'll end badly, no matter what I do. So, if the failure is a certainty, why bother? One could argue the educational values of the experience in between the try and fail, but I personally have found that time between those two deplorably short, so the learning curve would be small if not nonexistent.
 Also one could argue the odds of the failure, but if a love relation ends, something went wrong. My one and only love relationship taught me alot, but then again if m speculations are correct, substance of this said wasn't love, but support. And as the support(me) became superfluous, the additional variable was removed from the calculation.
 So, if I've elarned something, it is that most things, that are generally classified as feeling-controlled, are actually just sub-conscious deeds of survival&health masqueradinga as feelings. With this in mind, I should ask myself, do I even want a relationshipin the first hand. Though I do miss the feeling of an oxitosine kick when one kisses, hugs or does anything with the one who he/she loves.

But I think I can do fine  without.

How shall this world once remember me.

I've lately comen to wonder what will I leave behind. I know, it's kinda early to think of it, as I am only just turned 18, but then again, every turn might be my last. But. back into the subject: what will be my mark? Will it be meaningful? Will it affect anything? What or who are my legacy?

 Lately I have also dreamt of what would setting up a family be like. It's not the first time, but it's a first time in a long while. Maybe it's because my promise is almost filled, maybe it's that I'm jsut becoming lonely. What would raising kids be like? What would I teach them? What would I tell them about their grandparents, their ancestors? Then again, do I even want kids? Do I want to bring more people to strain the already too thin-stretched planet of ours? Do I want to bring chilren to a vile world like ours? Should I even have a legacy, or would it be better(or worse) to the world if my memory just ceased to exist?

 I have also thought of the possibility of having a relationship again. Though Her memory is still strong, and hasn't faded, I have learned to suppress or convert the energy that earlier projected as sadness. She is no longer a restrain, but a power source. As clichy as it sounds, I have finally managed to face my weakness and turn it into strenght. Though I still haven't(and propably never will) forgiven myself.

 All of this, though, has a dark side too. As a result, I have been pretty exchausted for some time. Also I have been more snappy than usual, and even more remote from People than usual, and I'd like to apologize it. I's not much use, I know, since most of people don't read my blog, but like this I can make terms of it with myself.

 Things won't go down as I'd like them to, that's for sure. But then again, do they ever?
