nausicaa83I had the loveliest time these past few days! On wednesday it was Tati's birthday, and I pulled all the stops: there was music, a trip to the cinema, dancing, and chocolate cake, it was, in a word, BRILLIANT. To be a little more precise, we went to the cinema to watch Captain America - The Winter Soldier, which we absolutely loved (political thriller with superheroes? hard to beat!), and the cake was Sacher Torte, our favourite. As for the music, last week I decided to buy *drumroll* a ukulele. Why the ukulele? Because I'd just seen Amanda Palmer's Ukulele Anthem video and it was very, very convincing. She makes a lot of good points! Less than six hours after it arrived, Tati and I were already dueting on Somewhere Over The Rainbow, and in less than a day I learned all the chords to Science Fiction Double Feature. It's so much fun! \o/
It's a ukulele for beginners, quite cheap, but it does its job splendidly. I named it "Kairi" because good things should always have good names. *_____*
And there's a little review of Captain America 2 under the cut, for those who are interested. Let's face it, a million fics now need to be re-written! First, we really, really loved it. There was a lot of All The President's Men, all the friendships were great and so faithful to the comics, and they didn't go the easy route of "look, a superhero, a nerd joke, it's so marvel!", and decided to make a layered, complex movie with a lot of dialogues, and a lot of Robert Redford. Bless them. Bucky was perfect, Falcon was perfect, Fury was perfect, the car chases were awesome even with all that product placement. Buy Chevrolet!
While I absolutely adored Natasha in this movie, I was really surprised when they decided to change her backstory so much. Since they mentioned her ledger becoming public and all, I'm guessing that that's confirmed as her MCU identity, and she was really born in 1984 and doesn't have any special powers or connections to the Winter Soldier. Weird.
I wonder if the inclusion of Agent 13 really means they're going the Civil War way. I'm so, so happy they didn't make her in any way related to Peggy. That was really horrible.
There was a lot of screaming on our part during the first post-credits scene. House of M was my very first Marvel comic, and my love for Wanda Maximoff knows no bounds. That's three movies in the span of a year, my beloved twins are getting a lot of scenes! \o/
And now, the elephant in the room. Not even mentioning Sitwell being a Nazi, and thus turning a lot of fics into happy AUs, what's going to happen to Marvel's Agents of SHIELD? Are they going to re-name it Marvel's Agents of the Agency Previously Known As SHIELD?
Yes, I amuse myself. :D But seriously, what is Coulson going to do? Go rogue with his team? Join CIA? Join Stark Industries (tickets to that!)? It's quite the shift in the world order!
So in conclusion, lots of love for this movie, lots of questions, and for the first time a superhero movie made me think of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Good job, Captain!
