imbecamiel Soooo, those book comments I was talking about are coming, I just got sick for like a week and a half and it basically killed my brain for a while there, so now that I'm back up and running I'm finishing it up.
But I just have to say, totally late to the party, that I finally, finally got to see Wonder Woman today and oh my heart, I did not know I needed this movie butapparently I did. It was just so beautifully done and sincere and bright (and... also heartbreaking) and just. The whole tone of it was everything I like best in superhero movies and it makes me so happy.
Saw the preview for Thor: Ragnarok before it, too - which looks very good - and my mom's comment was, "See, I like Thor. He's not just a pretty face." And I about died of giggles. So yeah, looking forward to that.
(Also, wearing a Captain America shirt to a DC movie will get you Comments, but hey. My strong preference for Marvel movies these days has nothing to do with any Marvel vs DC feelings, just being so done with the bleak tone of recent DC movies. I have more than enough love in my heart forboth, when they're done well.)

Date: 2017-07-15 11:10 pm (UTC)WW is the best superhero movie this year. There are others with good characters and lots of heart (I just saw Spider-Man: Homecoming the other day, utterly adored it, and am already writing Marvel fic), but a lot of the times they do rely on plots or twists of logic that don't make sense.
WW's plot was so cohesive. I think what made the plot twist work so well is that she was the one who was focused on Aries and we, the audience, have experienced our version of WWI so on some level we were sure she was wrong but we were still surprised at how and why. I love that the writers were able to write that twist without deus ex machina.
WW gives me hope for DC. I admit I'm not a fan of most of the fixit fic though ;P
Now go watch Spider-man and squee with me! I have fic recs!

of all time. That plot twist did work so well. Both in terms of the in-world cohesiveness and the big-picture symbolism it was excellent and really deftly handled. Just solid, all the way through, and it's great to have a movie that isn't only enjoyable on an aesthetic or character level but also has a plot that works so well.
Heheh, yeah, fixit fic, though... Yeah. I mean, I was sad that Steve died, and I've seen speculation on ways the writers could make him not-really-dead in future films, but overall, eh. Given that her films are going to be taking place in a present day timeframe, you know he would've died quite some time ago anyway, outside of some kind of Magical Intervention, so. *shrugs* Not feeling too strongly one way or the other on how they should handle any future romance angle for her going forward at this point. (If he did somehow get brought back in the present day, that would create kind of a hilarious parallel/mirror of the Steve Rogers/Peggy Carter situation, only without the missed-connections aspect of Peggy's own mortality.)
I will definitely want those Spider-man fic recs when I get to see it!

Date: 2017-07-12 12:54 pm (UTC)I loved WW... we saw it twice (so far, and more I'm sure when the DVD comes out). Like Sholio, I'm not going to be diving into writing fic but it was just darned good to see a DC movie that wasn't affected by Zack Snyder's nihilistic darkness. :P I really, really hope that Aquaman is done in the same vein.
And yes to wearing Marvel to ANY movie. XD People around here don't seem caught up in the whole DC vs Marvel thing because I've never had a comment on my (many) Cap shirts when I've worn them to DC movies. You see myriad Batman and Cap shirts any time you go out... everyone just seems to plain like superheroes and aren't too territorial about which universe they belong to. (I wore my Cap shirt to Hobby Lobby the other day and the cashier dude grinned and said, "Hey, Cap, how ya doin'?" (If I'd had a normal brain I would have come back with some quippy Cap-ish line but nope, I just blushed and said, "Fine." *sigh* Wasted opportunity. My brain is just not quick with the witty comeback.)

EXACTLY this. I'm just at the point where... what even is the point of a superhero story if the only message you want to tell is that kind of hopeless darkness? It's just so refreshing to see a DC movie finally taking a different turn and I really hope it's a new trend. Given what I've seen about WW's box office success - especially as compared to some other recent DC offerings - one would certainly think they'd have to be nuts not to get the message. I reeeeeally hope that Aquaman is good, because I think Jason Mamoa has the potential to be so awesome and fun in that role.
Ahaha, I hear you on the lack of quick resonses when there's an open opportunity like that, though. I'm far more likely to have a brain short-circuit than a superhero-worthy quip on hand. XD
(Also - Marvel has everyone so well trained. Hardly anyone in the theater got up when the credits started rolling, until a theater employee took pity and told us, "Hey, you can all stay for the credits if you want to, but just so you know, there aren't any end scenes.")

If you think such as you aren't getting enough quality time along with your youngsters, engage in video games along with them. Present interest in whatever they are curious about and you may increase your partnership.

It can be quicker to keep in mind info in the event you coordinate the information into associated groupings, before attempting to commit it to memory. Producing an summarize is an additional smart way to arrange the information to be analyzed. This is a lot like the way your head organizes details and definately will make recall less difficult.
