Since I am British, I can say that I don't like Captain America without being accused of being unpatriotic or something. I think he's a self-righteous, dangerous asshole, even more so than Tony. (Because I will always like the smartest bastard in the room, it's a failing I have.)
I like fanon Clint, the one that combines Fraction's Hawkeye with him lurking in the Tower vents like his own personal Habitrail. The whole Surprise!family bullshit pisses me off, though not quite as much as Natasha's wholesale character derailment. *waves little Clintasha flag* Fuck you, Whedon.
I just...in a saner world, Age of Ultron would have gone - "Pepper, I have a cool idea!" "No, Tony." "But..." "NO, Tony." "Aww. Okay. Guess I go back to working on medical prosthetics with Bruce, then." And we wouldn't have had another of Joss' broken bird waif-fu genius deus ex machine. Who I want to punch in her pouty little lemur-eyed bimbo face.
And we'd still have JARVIS.
And before that we wouldn't have had some godawful character derailment of vicious one-liners and a lack of anything resembling common decency. Because Loki did not occur in a bloody vacuum, and he didn't learn his racism and (self) loathing on Midgard. I'd like to see Hemsworth and Hiddles' idea of them as actual *brothers* not that spiteful garbage (he's adopted - fuck you, you jock asshole, fuck off back to your gold-plated football town.) The family dynamics and parenting fail are horrendous before we get to the whole 'tortured by a psychopath and possibly mind-controlled' bit. Three days vacay in New Mexico and a bonus girlfriend versus being dropped through space vacuum into the hands of a monster...one of them tries to start a war with his big mouth, the other one tries to finish it. Which one ends up being muzzled and dropped into a hole forever? Seriously, bollocks.
This is just the beginning of my Marvel issues. Let's not even touch DC.
