Ways the Time Spent Developing the Bruce/Natasha romance could have been better spent…….

mystiqueer

1. Explaining why Tony rebuilt his suits.

2. Explaining why the Avengers are now working together.

3. Explaining why Steve isn’t still looking for Bucky.

4. Giving Falcon more than a minute of screen time.

5. Developing the father-daughter thing they had going with Fury and Nat.

6. Showing Steve and Tony actually building up a friendship so Civil War will at least have a smidgen of emotional impact.

7. Spending more than a minute on why Tony and Bruce thought Ultron was a good idea (and why they have apparently never seen a sci-fi movie)

8. Having Tony get to talk to the Vision about Jarvis.

9. Vision/Scarlet Witch 

10. A Natasha backstory going into her being forced to kill as a child/losing her identity, anything but “I can’t have babies so I’m a monster!” 

11. Explaining the media reaction to all this. (We hear they want Bruce arrested, but how do the people feel about the Avengers working without Shield? How is the world responding without Shield? 

12. Natasha picking up Mjolnir (don’t tease it and not carry through, Joss). 

13. Basically, any scene showing any continuity with Phase 2. 

14. Who am I kidding? Basically any other scene. A training sequence. 20 minutes of Falcon baking cookies. An explanation of how Hulk’s pants work. An hour of all of them playing with Clint’s kids. Anything would have been better.

How To Tell If You Are In A High Fantasy Novel

[via The Toast]

  • The Elders would like a word with you.
  • The Ritual is about to begin.
  • Something that has not happened in a thousand years is happening.
  • You are going to the City. There is only one City. It is only said with a capital C. No one needs to bother saying the name of the City. It is the City.
  • Certain members of the Council are displeased with your family’s recent actions.
  • A bard is providing occasional comic relief; no one hired or invited him and his method of earning a living is unclear.
  • The High Priest is not to be trusted.
  • Someone is eating an apple mockingly.
  • There is one body of water. It is called the Sea. The Great Sea, if you are feeling fancy.
  • You live in a region with no major exports, no centralized government, no banking system, a mysteriously maintained network of roads, and little to no job training for anyone who is not a farmer.
  • You have red hair. You wear it in a braid. Your father was a simple man, and you don’t remember much about him – he died when you were so young – but you remember his strong hands, as he fished or carpentered or whatever it was that he used to do with them.
  • You’re going to have to hurry, or you’re going to miss the Fair – and you never miss the Fair.
  • There is trouble at the Citadel.
  • Your full name has at least one apostrophe in it.
  • It is the first page, and you are already late for something. Your mother affectionately chides you as you gulp down a few spoonfuls of porridge; she will be dead by page forty-two.
  • There are two religions in your entire universe. One is a thinly veiled version of Islam. It is only practiced by villains. The other is “being a Viking.” You are a Viking.
  • There are new ways in the land that threaten the Old Way. Your grandmother secretly practices the Old Way, as do all of the people of the hills.
  • The real trouble began the day you arrived at court. Every last nobleman hides a viper in his smile. How you long for the purity of life in your village, which is currently on fire or something.
