also, now that I’ve seen the Avengers, all the shipping you fuckers are doing is even more obnoxious, if that’s possible.
The Avengers just isn’t the sort of thing that should spawn that kind of bullshit guys.
You’re all doing superhero movies wrong. All of you tumblr girls who are shipping these characters. You’re doing these superheros an injustice.
And you deserve to be hulk smashed into oblivion.
Huh, really? Because I think a beautifully shot, written, acted, and cast movie, wherein just about everyone has amazing chemistry together is exactly the kind of thing that shipping comes from. If you don’t like it? That’s fine. If you think that’s obnoxious, you’re entitled to your personal opinion, there’s tumblr behavior I’m not too fond of myself and the site is too large for everyone to be happy with every single trend that comes through.
I don’t think it’s an ‘injustice’ to the superheroes to ship them. Where is your reasoning for that? Is it just because they’re superheroes? Are they too manly for shipping? Does the same thing extend to comic books as well?
Is it still doing them an injustice if the shipping that’s being done is Tony/Pepper, or is it just if it’s something like Tony/Bruce? (Where do Natasha and Clint fall in there, they’d be an injustice too, I suppose?)
I wasn’t aware that annoying someone, no, that being creative was something that warranted the same punishment as unleashing an alien armada upon New York City. I certainly apologize for the casualty rate any shipping that I’ve done has caused.

They clearly just have a huge problem with us getting our icky ~girly romance feels~ all over their MANLY MAN movie. Also, heaven forbid, we might get the gay on it! This is clearly WRONG and we deserve PUNISHMENT because romance is icky and pink-y and has feelings and oh my god how dare we get feelings in her ACTION movie?!
I mean, you know, disregarding entirely things like Pepper getting 12% credit for her baby, or the cellist who moved to Portland, or the look on Natasha’s face when Coulson said “Barton has been compromised,” or Steve’s PTSD flashbacks, or Tony trusting Steve to get his back even after they’ve just been fighting, or Bruce trying to shoot himself in the head, or Clint asking if Natasha’s ever felt like everything about her was being torn away and her saying yes, or Coulson’s death, or Loki and Thor’s talks, or… oh, I don’t know, any NUMBER of scenes in the film that were either chock full of those icky girly FEELINGS, demonstrated the beginnings of or already-present deep and abiding bonds between the main characters, or, heaven forbid, BOTH.
I mean, clearly it would be blasphemy to think that those scenes would appeal to people and make them maybe want to see the characters take those bonds a step further.
But yeah, no, I doubt this has much to do with the actual content of the movie, though. This has everything to do with homophobia (“get your gay out of my superhero movie!”) and misogyny (“romance is girly [‘only girls like romance!’] and anything girly is automatically BAD!”).
And if you think those kinds of attitudes are backwards and gross as fuck, well, so do I! Join the club.
Also, seriously, hisblogger m’dear— excellently written and I agree with you 110%. I just had to add my own spiel because well. You know how I get. ;P
why hello there, dickweed who assumes that I must be homophobic and misogynistic because I don’t want tumblr’s ridiculous bullshit involved in this one movie. I don’t even know where to begin with how much I’d very much like to punch both of you in the face for not only putting words into my mouth, but also for taking tumblr and shipping and everything stupid about the world way too seriously.
and yeah, making a big fucking deal about Tony/Pepper or Black Widow and Hawk Eye is equally obnoxious and equally misplaced because that aspect of the movie is so ridiculously insignificant to the plot and the actual things that were going on and just because characters show emotion and depth does not mean that everyone’s boning the person standing on their left.
