May 19th, 2009: Our apologies to the families of Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston, we’re sure they’re very proud of you.
Oh yeah! Whatever happened to these guys? Anyone know?

The Ballad of the Son of Coul (and Also Barton)
So this is about why I love Phil and Clint both more after the movie, and why I am even more convinced they would be good together even though they never speak. You might want to get some snacks. We’re going to be here a while.
MOVIE SPOILERS. I WILL BE SPOILING THE MOVIE. THE MOVIE WILL BE SPOILED.
AND NOW, BLACK WIDOW META.
So here is a thing I’ve been wanting to talk about since I saw The Avengers and haven’t been able to because I was too busy writing we were emergencies: Natasha Romanov? Is terrified of the Hulk. Let me stop right here and address the comment I least want to receive in response to this statement, and, unfortunately, the comment I believe I am most likely to get:
- No she’s not, because that fear would make her less of a badass/Yes she is, and that fear makes her less of a badass/any permutation of the idea that being afraid of things somehow negates badassery:
What? No. Human beings are afraid of stuff, the end. It’s part of the human condition. People eat, sleep, breathe, shit, and fear things. Like, universally. Even Chuck Norris, wherever he may roam, has at least one thing that is his mental equivalent of something going bump in the night. Having fear is not a determinate of strength of character; how you handle that fear is. DONE.Okay, with that out of the way, let’s first establish how we know Natasha is afraid of the Hulk. There’s the scene in the helicarrier, yeah, definitely, where she tries to keep Bruce from Hulking and then has to deal with him while Hulked; then there’s the scene afterwards, where she is visibly freaking the fuck out until she stands up and goes to beat the brainwashing out of a close friend, and yep, that’s fear, no question. But, you know what, I’m pretty sure any reasonable human not-immortal-like-Thor person would be a little bit like HOLY SHIT THAT WAS TERRIFYING AS FUCK JESUS GOD in the wake of being the target of an indestructible giant green rage monster. So, really, I think the more telling scene in her reaction when Bruce screws with her at the beginning of the movie—the degree to which her reaction is visibly, palpably one of fear is something we’ve never seen from Black Widow. And it’s not because the Hulk has showed up; it’s because there’s been the suggestion that he might. Or, to be more accurate, it’s because she’s just watched what she thought was Bruce losing control.
Because that’s what this is about, guys; that’s what it’s always about, with Natasha. Go grab yourselves some artist formerly and currently known as Prince, because this is a story about control.
I LOVE HER OKAY

…actually think this is a shopped screencap of the American(?)-release’s post-credit scene. Tony is not wearing his suit in the restaurant, and the quality of the caps probably washed out the colors.
That aside: I LOVE THIS FANART.
This can’t be a screencap from that scene, because it wasn’t shot from this angle. If you pretend that you are behind the movie camera, you’d have to swing in an arc to the left, and then crane up and shoot straight down and through that window to be properly set up for how it was shot. Plus I just saw the movie Saturday here in Chicago, and I’m certain Tony was in the Iron Man suit….
Unless I’m hallucinating that bit….
Tony definitely wasn’t in the suit!

As egos collide, Black Widow—street name, Natasha Romanova—is the only character who does not throw a monstrous hissyfit. The only character to gather actionable intelligence against Loki from Loki. The character who not only literally kicks sense back into the brainwashed Hawkeye, but then absolves him of any sins performed while under the loony god’s spell.
You want fearless? When midtown Manhattan is swarming with thousands of robo-aliens, the dreaded Chitauri, Black Widow commandeers one of their slippery aero-sleds and flies it to steal Loki’s glowing phallic scimitar so as to save the world so Iron Man can blow up the aliens.

Black Widow is the queen of my heart.

Yes boys, keep arguing, Tasha will just be over there outrunning the Hulk.

…what really sucks is, I’m struggling to think of when two women outside of extras even shared a scene in Avengers. No women in frame together that I can remember, let alone a conversation between them. I… holy shit, my fuck-you levels are only getting higher every day.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3skyuiro11r9sstto1_400.jpg)
