Fictional Sibling relationships i live for

I had been thinking about this topic lately and decided i would like to make a post about it because it is a very fun and interesting one for me. I had mentioned a few times here that in terms of fandom involvement i am more invested in family and frienships than in shippings, particulary i have a fixation with strong sibling bonds or sibling like friendships. I think it must be because i have a strong bond with my younger sister, i identify with that and that’s why i tend to get more involved and interested in this sort of character interactions.

I will keep this just in movies, movie adaptations of books and tv shows because i don’t want it to be super long but still want to talk. In movie adaptations i will try to stay in movie’s territory as much as i can, if i add commentary on the book versions this would never end but i may slip a bit towards it because i can’t help it.

As always, i make the disclaimer over the images i will use here, they belong to the sites where i found them.

Sorry for my pathetic language skills in english.

Note: this got so long that i will probably make a second part for more characters i coulnd’t include

Boromir and Faramir in lotr

Lotr is full of great material for people who, like me, obsess over families. Frodo and Bilbo, Merry and Pippin, Elrond and Arwen, Theoden ,Eowyn and Eomer are other great examples of family relationships i’m interested on from here ( i pretty much love to overthink stuff about almost all the lotr family relationships). I choose to talk about this bros because they have a particular place in my heart. How many times we had seen the common trope of a royal or noble family where the father is a dick who gives all his love and attention to the older brother, neglects the little one causing him to grow up resentfull and ending up as a villian while dad’s favourite is the hero of the tale? Not this time, and it is so refreshing.

Boromir and Faramir choose each other over their father’s bullshit, you can see it in the lovely deleted scene the gif up here comes from. When Denethor shows up they are both annoyed, when he is mean to Faramir Boromir calls him out and tries so hard to make him show some appreciation for his youngest son. it is clear that, in this version, Boromir is more family to Faramir than his father ever was. I love how much they care for each other, how they pass beyond the differences. Boromir is a super amazing big bro, i love how he protects Faramir and is there for him instead of letting his father’s praise get in between. I could talk for hours about this two because i love them so much. I’m doing a hard effort in stopping myself from throwing a whole set of headcanons i have for them so i will stop now before i get too excited.

Fili and Kili in The Hobbit

Staying in Middle Earth for one more mention i had to talk about this two. Being fully honest, the movies broke my heart because they took the exact opposite way i would had wished for. When they were introduced In An Unexpected Journey this two adorable brothers were one of my favourite aspects of it because i loved their Merry and Pippin like dumb chaotic energy. One of my biggest complains with the Hobbit adaptation is to have shifted the narrative of the strongly family focused story arc of the Line of Durin. Kili’s romance with Tauriel shifted the focus and, in my particular perspective, i hated that because i was already super involved in the family story. Besides from the “I belong with my brother” iconic line we don’t see much more of Fili and Kili’s bond after the introduction of Tauriel. In fact, Fili loses a lot of his initial screentime in Desolation of Smaug and Battle of the Five Armies.

I love this two, the relationship with their uncle as it was introduced in the first film and i would had loved to see more of their family dinamic explored. One of my biggest complains, besides from the change of focus on their supposed ending, is that i’m convinced that they should had entered the mountain with the rest of the company. It is such an important moment they would probably waited for since they were children, is the legacy of their family. In short terms, i love them and i would had loved to keep seeing future developments of the Line of Durin story they had in AUJ.

Hector and Paris in Troy

This two represent the opposite case. The relationship they have in this movie is very different from the source material but i love the great development it has here. It is outstanding to see the importance the sibling bond has in a movie that is supposed to be about a war caused by a romantic passion.

The sons of King Priam are absolute opposites. Hector is the embodiment of a true hero, a Steve Rogers of ancient times. His strong caring nature and will to protect everyone reminds me of Boromir as well. Unlike Faramir,Paris is a freaking mess. He is the careless, adventurous and reckless little brother Hector ends up protecting every single time he gets into trouble. I had stated before that i think Paris is a selfish prick but i think that is a slight confussion of mine with the original. This Paris is more a reckless dumbass and, unlike Iliad Paris, his arc in the movie it’s a bit more simpathetic. In this version Helen is trapped in a loveless marriage to an old prick who treats her like trash (in the director’s cut Menelaus jokes about how he only cares for his wife for breeding purposes on a conversation with Hector). I can understand at some point that, if he trully fell in love with her, he felt horrible for letting her stay there as a prisoner of her husband. Going back to the my focus for this talk, i like that the movie had decided to make this two close brothers who actually care for each other despite being absolute opposites instead of two guys who barely know each other, are barely aware of being brothers and share only hatefull interactions.

Hector’s protectiveness over Paris warms my heart. He had threated him a few times ( director’s cut has the “ i will rip off your pretty face from your pretty skull” excharge. I love that scene), he gets furious at him for his foolishness, they argue but when the time comes he always chooses to protect him. Honestly, that’s such a big bro thing, i can’t help to feel identified. The weight that this relationship has in the development of the story is a surprising thing and it makes everything more tragic. Paris being the killer of Achilles has a more significant meaning because, now it’s not just the irony of the weakest character killing the strongest. Paris is aware that he owns the memory of his fallen brother so much, he wants revenge. Hector was there for him all his life, the least he can do for him is to kill his killer and avenge his death. Briseis begs him to stop but he can’t let himself do that, he owns it to Hector and that debt is bigger than anything.

I will not delay this any longer, the family relationships on this movie are my favourite aspect of it and i have a soft spot for the bond between the trojan princes. Don’t get surprised if i one of this days i end up making an entire separate post talking about the family dinamics displayed in the film (same goes for lotr but that would take me ages and i would have to make an entire series of posts if i wanted to discuss every lotr family relationship i would want to talk about).

Sam and Dean Winchester in Supernatural

If you reached this point you may had noticed that i have a big thing with family tragedies involving siblings. Supernatural is my favourite show because it combines lots of elements i love. To mention just a few: horror, mythology,classic rock and a strong family approach in its pretty tragic but outstanding plot.

Sam and Dean are one of my favourite duo of bros of all time. I don’t think i have a lot to say about them because their relationship has been analized lots of times by the very big fanbase of the show. My main difference with the common interpretation is that i don’t see the Winchester family in a similar way to the movie versions of the Steward of Gondor and his sons, which means i don’t think John has been the shittiest father ever despite his many mistakes. Unlike movie Denethor he tried hard and in the interactions we saw of him with his boys he actually cares for both of them.

This bros were the ones that made me realize in an actual concient way of my tendency to get too attached to families, story arcs regarding them and sibling love. I’m super attached to this story, i don’t know what the hell i’m going to do with my life once it ends.

I will end this post here. It is more than sure that there would be a part two because i have tons of more brothers,sisters and other family relationships to talk about.

Thanks to everyone who has read my very long ramble

the ultimate tagged masterpost

so, i have been slacking in returning y’all’s tagged games and i felt really bad because some of them were writing tag games...and i had nothing to show for. HOWEVER! i have made a sort of bounce back with a lot of friends supporting me :)

let’s kick things off, huh?

1) “ six sentence snippet tag” tagged by @thedragonkween (im love u!) and @the-darklings (CHILE love u as well!)

here’s y’all’s king quentin beck!! also, i think this is...six sentences...

Quentin isn’t sure why he continues to twiddle with the gold band around his ring finger while he’s not performing in front of an audience.

After every debriefing, he takes a bow as the curtain draws before him, the spotlight diminishing from his view, he can’t help but reach for it. The ring acts like some sort of tether, bound somewhere between the role Quentin plays and something far fetched...a yearning feeling that breaks his own heart at times. He can’t quite find the words to express how he feels but he knows to ignore such foolish longing.

Focus, Beck.

Focus.

2) “author questionnaire tag” tagged by @veanery (gracias, mi amiga!!) and @deviantramblings (MISS. LAUREN!! MWAH!!)

fandoms you write for: bruh moment, it changes almost every single day or sumn. i predominately write for marvel and star wars however i have written for john wick, devil may cry 5, stranger things, and d*troit: b*come h*man in the past. i thought about writing for rdr2 hehe

where you post: if you don’t find my work here, you can find me at ao3 under the pseudo “zebracakes”. fair warning, i do not upload all my stories there unless it’s a personal story that i think my readers over there will appreciate as well. so, if u think u see my work on wattpad or whatever y’all mfs use, that ain’t me!

most popular one-shot: Under the Twinkling Stars is a fake wedding date!john wick x reader story that honestly never thought would take off the way that it did. nearly 2k notes! it was originally a request...like wow kudos to op

most popular multi-chapter story: haha....ahh, i accidentally deleted my multi-series story but it was my one and only so there ain’t no answer here

favorite story you’ve wrote: hands down it’s νοσταλγία. this loki x reader story is something that was written in the spur of the moment and it’s about my favorite trope of all time (soulmate au). i tried a new approaching to writing and i am really happy with the outcome!! sometimes i forget that i actually wrote it sjdsajlda

a story you were nervous to post: like hannah said, all of them. authors always tend to be their own worst critics and i am no different. funny enough, i’ve actually taken down some stories i felt were just...not my strongest because they were a little embarrassing to have them up on display.

how do you choose your titles: hmm, great question! i know a lot of authors use lyrics as their titles nd like...i wish i had that kinda brand. most of the times, the title ties into the story and though it’s never stated in the story, it relates to what the story is about. some of my more “adventurous” titles revolve around foreign languages and sometimes inspired by song titles.

do you outline: HELL NAH! i have a vague concept, open up an empty text post, and ROLL WITH IT. however, with some stories, i do take a little bit of time to pinpoint crucial moments of the story but other than that...i just wing it, bro.

complete: what the fuck does this mean?? how many stories i’ve completed?? umm on this blog it’s 53? i think? i was counting fast. i did have more pero i deleted a lot of them during a spiral lmaoo

in-progress: according to my drafts, it’s 15 and they are all OVER the place. however, i do not plan on writing all of them. big sad let’s pour one out

coming soon: i know i piqued some of y’all’s interests when i said i’m stepping into the mysterio x reader fic world so i got sumn in the kitchen for y’all. surprisingly...if anyone is up to it....there’s some dbh leftovers in the fridge...

do you accept prompts: of course i always do! though motivation has been a fickle thing so...bear with me and understand if i don’t take your request.

upcoming story you are most excited to write: quentin x reader angst that has me waking up sometimes to write sumn down for it. without giving too much away, it deals with grief, heartache, longing, and...time travel? brooOo i’m the only one excited like it’s just me, omi, nur, and dori shrieking in the woodlands

rules are you are given a set of words to search them in your wips. my set of challenge words are: tear(s), snow, sun, laugh

omg...i couldn’t....find any of those words in any of my wips asjkdsajkldsa WHEW this was quite....uneventful lmao sorry to disappoint :(( however, i did find some with the word “laughter”...does that count?

start from the beginning (connor x reader)

Hank can’t contain his laughter as he wraps his arms across his chest and shakes his graying hair. He knows that when Connor whips out his formal title out, it’s all in a joking, familial matter. “Oh, and you’re gonna use me as well? Shit, kid, might as well take my house while you’re at it.”

untitled bucky x reader

Your laughter sounds like a sweet melody, one he’s heard over and over again yet he never gets tired of hearing it. Bucky watches as you stand up and walk towards him to take the mason jars out of his hands. His eyes look down to observe a golden wedding band around your finger which prompts him to look at his own left hand. Lo and behold, gold.

oh hold up i found “laugh” lmaooo

untitled connor x reader

“Hello? Is anyone home?” He waves his hand over your face to snap you out of your daze. Your reaction makes Connor’s whole body shake as he laughs with his entire being. A shy smile grows as you lick the seam of your lips and giggle softly to yourself. The candles on the cake flicker, the flames creating a hypnotic trance as they dance to and fro.

(if it sounds ooc, there’s a reason for that that you’ll find out IF I EVER PUBLISH IT LMAOO)

WAIT! I FOUND “TEAR(S)”!!

untitled bucky x reader

Tears prickle at the edge of your eyes but you must not show the fear, the exact physiological response they’re anticipating. You slow down your erratic breathing, trying your best to calm your racing heart. Your eyes shift from your boots to the containment they are keeping your Bucky in. He is sound asleep, a false sense of peace and equilibrium. You want to caress his face and to press your body against him once again to remember the feeling you’ve lost years ago.

7) “ writing style alignment tag” tagged by @deviantramblings (u a real one)

most definitely a chaotic planster! defined by:

has an idea for a plot when they start

who writes things down??

my method is incredibly messy when it comes to writing. usually there is an idea (thanks, nick fury), which is usually triggered by a scene i want to develop. sometimes all i have is a scene but no plot. sometimes i have a concept of a plot with no real direction. AM I VALID??

001: MCU fandom, 002: Peter Quill / Gamora, 003: Carol Danvers. Choose one or do all three if you want :)

i’m gonna do all three! thank you for this 😎

001 | MCU

Favorite character: This is extremely hard, but it’s a three-way tie between Gamora, Peter Quill, and Carol Danvers at this point.

Least Favorite character: Thanos because he’s a dumb bitch. Runners up include: Bucky Barnes, Clint Barton

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Peter/Gamora, T’Challa/Nakia, Tony/Pepper, Scott/Hope, Carol/Maria

Character I find most attractive: Honestly, most of the women could step on me and I’d say thank you

Character I would marry: Gamora or Carol

Character I would be best friends with: Peter Quill

a random thought: Black Panther legitimately deserved Best Picture, you guys just hate genre film

An unpopular opinion: I’m really excited to see where the MCU goes after Avengers: Endgame, and I’m actually looking forward to getting it over with, in a way, so that we can just move on and start getting to new stuff. (Frankly, the MCU has introduced a lot more interesting characters since the Avengers, and I’m just ready for that spotlight to leave them and go onto other people.) I’m also looking forward to getting it over with because most of my faves have been dead for the past year, and I’m tired of this holding pattern.

My Canon OTP: Peter/Gamora

My Non-canon OTP: Carol/Maria is technically not canon even though they totally are canon, if you get my drift, but I guess they’ll go here

Most Badass Character: This title belongs to Gamora, because she has overcome so much and gotten so far to reclaim her own personhood… and if Marvel Studios doesn’t let her walk off into the proverbial sunset after this bullshit, we’re going to have some words

Most Epic Villain: Killmonger

Pairing I am not a fan of: Bruce/Natasha, because yikes, and Steve/Peggy, because this fandom made me tired of it

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I feel like Natasha and Wanda have both suffered from writers not really knowing what to do with them over the course of multiple movies. The only movie where Natasha actually had good development and a character arc was CATWS, and Wanda hasn’t even had that.

Favourite Friendship: All the Guardians

Character I most identify with: Peter Quill, like fucking whoa

Character I wish I could be: Carol; I want her powers

002 | Peter Quill/Gamora

When I started shipping them: I liked the idea of them at the end of Vol 1, but I didn’t really start shipping them as deeply as I do until Vol 2

My thoughts: Best MCU ship by far. Yeah, even over Tony/Pepper and all that; I said what I said, y’all. Their development was slow and realistic, never felt rushed, and I actually bought this dynamic, both in terms of the writing and the actor chemistry (which is high praise coming from me, because I don’t tend to buy a lot of ships in movies). Their personalities complement each other, and it makes a lot of sense as to why they’re drawn to one another. Honestly, I love them – I don’t know what else there is to say. They have my heart and they’re my life.

What makes me happy about them: People who can come together and find some healing/peace in one another is, like, my jam, and they just mash all of my buttons in this regard.

What makes me sad about them: Infinity War. Just… Infinity War.

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: A lot of this is, like, characterization stuff, but I get bothered by portrayals of Gamora as some kind of untouchable ice queen and Peter as someone who’s super 100% open and acts constantly like a hyperactive five-year-old on a sugar high. The nuance with this ship is that they’re both adults still struggling with the effects of sustained childhood trauma, and opening up is going to be hard for both of them – they both have their hard edges, but also really soft hearts. I also hate when people portray Peter as some kind of dumbass against Gamora being untouchably hypercompetent; that’s also not really true of either of them, you know? Look at the characters, stop going with the tropes.

Things I look for in fanfic: Anything that gives me that character/dynamic nuance I just mentioned; I love that stuff. These are two characters who both have a lot to heal from, and I love the stories that showcase them healing together. I have a soft spot for dumb/comedic misadventures, as well as heartwarming family stories, and I love me the occasional angst piece too, but if you’ve got the nuance, I’m good.

My wishlist: Honestly, everything? This is the one ship I literally never get tired of. Which reminds me that I have some more stuff to write, too… my work schedule lately has just not been conducive.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: In MCU-verse, honestly no one; they’re serious at this point, and I just don’t see it happening with anyone else. If we’re talking comics-verse, I actually ship both of them with Rich Rider (and also the whole thing as an OT3).

My happily ever after for them: Both of them surviving Endgame with the rest of the Guardians, going back to their galaxy-saving gigs for a while, maybe hanging that whole thing up at some point and just having some peace. I also see a bunch of adopted kids in their future; Gamora starts it, when she comes back to the ship one day with this little orphaned girl in her arms, but over time, they end up taking in multiple lost/troubled kids, and it’s equally each of their faults.

003 | Carol Danvers

How I feel about this character: Love her! I’m really, really glad she exists; she’s definitely refreshing in terms of what female characters are allowed to be in comics/comics media, and that’s really reflected in part by how women are allowed to be the custodians of her story (and have been since Kelly Sue DeConnick took over her book in 2012). She’s a lot of qualities that we see in male characters – bold, confident, humorous – and isn’t made to apologize for any of those things. More characters like Carol, please.

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: Maria, I can also get on board the Valkyrie ship; in the comics I love her with Rhodey and also Jessica Drew

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: Fury, Talos, Goose, Thor (they’re going to be besties, I know it)

My unpopular opinion about this character: Unpopular in some circles I guess, but I actually thought she had good development in Captain Marvel; like, it was a character arc I could track, it seemed cohesive to me, and I don’t think she was flat or boring in any way? But people are gonna people.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Carol better interact with the Guardians in the MCU or else

Favorite friendship for this character: Nick Fury in MCU, Jessica Drew and Tony Stark in the comics

My crossover ship: Diana Prince

Shitlist Christmas Reviews - The Avengers revisited - 2012

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m Amateur Fan 2.27 and welcome to the Shitlist, where bad movies burn, and this is the Christmas edition of 2017; a while ago I reviewed this movie when I first started the site and yet I’ve been getting comments over why this movie is the best, and after re-watching the movie, I can see some major flaws..... The movie I’m of course referring to is Joss Whedon’s The Avengers...

Ah Joss, what happened to you man, you were the king of fan culture with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and yet you set your career on self-destruct with the Justice League (though I’ve heard very bad things from due to direction of characters), but seeing that you’ve changed your mind in destroying the franchise I loved most through my childhood (DC) let’s have a look at one that you did indeed bastardize... Marvel...

Before I start the reviews and with the production history for that matter, there is some that I must address first on why I hate Marvel so much, granted I love Stan Lee, his work makes me believe that Superheroes are real, from the teenage years of the Amazing Spider-man to the science beyond mutation in the Uncanny X-men.

There are other words that I can describe on how Stan Lee has indeed affected my life growing up, like he’s possibly one of the greatest living icons by far with such incredible work. Other characters were established as well which were created by other writers such as Deadpool or my particular favourite character, The Punisher. Those two characters drew me into the Marvel Universe because of one genius,

Though something comes to mind about this, other characters I admired from Marvel are interesting with incredible breakthroughs such as Spider-man’s guilt or Iron Man’s Alcoholism but with DC it’s entirely different as their characters have more personality as well as more problems when it comes to their own identities, I’ll get to this in a different review, hopefully when I review BVS...

Marvel through-out the years when it comes to producing their films has an interesting basis, mainly towards different companies like SONY or most recently Disney, some movies I did previously reviewed were interesting taking interesting takes on independent characters, such as Hulk, The Punisher (which is to be reviewed) or Spiderman.

But with the MCU however comes with one major problem.... S.H.I.E.L.D... for those out there who don’t know S.H.I.E.L.D. is the fictional agency that deals with Paranormal or Superhuman ‘Mutant’ events through-out the world of Marvel, think of them like the Agency or Project Cadmus from DC but less ‘scientific’ (which I use loosely.... looking at you Agents of Shield...) and more on fantasy.

Through the M.C.U. Shield have been through nearly every film mention but this raises one major question on a particular level... why? Granted they are there to monitor the heroes and villains but yet through the movies.... they don’t seem to do very much about the situations the heroes (or so-called heroes for that matter) are trapped in apart from one in particular and that are Captain America.

But speaking of which we are going back into the movie that started it off to trope of SHIELD’s involvement, Avengers Assemble from 2012 directed by Joss Whedon, before I commence with the review, I’m removing to dive into the Production history due to the involvement of Disney attempting to make the heroes and the story more light hearted which divides the tone of the movie.

Especially that Disney have now purchased the rights to 20th Century Fox which also host a series of interesting movies based on the Marvel Universe (X-Men and Deadpool, Spiderman trilogy previously reviewed).

I have to admit that rebooting the Marvel Universe in the cinematic form was incredible but also difficult at the same time as it would achieve some fans in the comics as well as a fan base towards the films, though I’m not the biggest fan of the MCU but there are some moments in the franchise I do admire, as some of the problems with the heroes are mixed with some of their own characteristics, which is destroyed by Civil War which I will get to on another time as the movie and the comic it’s based on tells different stories and spawns bigger controversies.

I have to admit it that the movie I’m reviewing today was previously reviewed but I dived into it at the wrong time as I reviewed Iron Man before it which skipped 4 additional films which would corrupt the saga, but now that I’ve finished reviewing the last 4 movies (ending Iron 2) I think it’s a better idea to dive into the movie in a more appropriate manner and see if there are any problems with the movie, and trust me, there are a lot.

This is the Avengers Assemble.

The movie begins with a monologue from an antagonist known as the Other; the leader of the race known as the Chitauri, a species from the Marvel universe similar to the Skrulls; the Other speaks towards an unknown person (see ending of Thor) that he will give Loki an army to take over Earth in return of a source of unknown potential energy known as the Tesseract (First Infinity Gem – it’s not like it’s a spoiler or anything).

In the present however, Director of SHIELD, Nick Fury (played by Samuel L. Jackson, you know what he’s been in) and his Second in Command SHIELD agent, Maria Hill (played by Cobie Smulders from How I Meet Your Mother) on a secret remote SHIELD research facility where they are performing experiments on the Tesseract as everyone is evacuating due to an energy surge.

Fury speaks to future red shirt, I mean SHIELD agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) about the problem only for the reaction to state that it woke up, being unsure that the Tesseract was activated with no-one touching it; Fury speaks about Selvig being involved with the projected stating that he can’t shut it down...

This raises a question on how a meteorologist of all people can suddenly change occupations towards a scientist responding towards Energy; but saying that, this question will respond with no answer towards the end of the movie, including the other films relating to the same character.

Agent Hill... you know I’m just gonna call her Maria from now on, Maria informs Fury that it’s a bad idea to do a minimum evacuation due to the source of the energy but Fury has other plans on stating that the Phase 2 prototypes should be sorted out first, (we will see this later on) ignoring her recommendations.

All in seriousness, it comes to show that SHIELD are shown as a reckless force than they were told in the comics, as Fury had other ideas on scrapping the secondary projects in case of situations like this, especially when it comes to times of desperation involving combinations between Primary and Secondary tasks. I will get to this later on.

Fury speaks with Selvig about the source only for him to state that the Tesseract is misbehaving, so the energy source is a sentient being all of a sudden? This also comes to a downplay when he states that it also sparks interference with electrical equipment and minimum levels of radiation, only for Fury to speak to Barton (Jeremy Renner) about the Tesseract stating that something might be coming through in response of the misbehaviour of the source.

Suddenly a wormhole opens leading to the reveal of the movies villain, Loki (Played by Tom Hiddleston), who then appears to brutally kill off a few more red shirts before brainwashing a few agents, including Selvig and Barton. Fury attempts to steal the Tesseract away (wise to take it in your bare hands dumbass) only for Loki to stop him by stating that he needs the Tesseract for a future purpose.

Loki trades a few threats towards Fury only for Barton to state that Fury is stalling and Selvig to prove that the wormhole is collapsing on itself leading them to have two minutes exactly to leave before it goes to a critical level. Fury gets shot leading for Barton to take the Tesseract leading Loki to follow as they leave the facility, only for Fury to warn Maria about the situation leading for a chase sequence to launch through the tunnels of the facility.

I have to admit, it’s a pretty creative fight scene, only problem is that it reminds me strongly of the Metal Gear Solid when Liquid chases you in Shadow Moses... Anyway Fury manages to follow Loki via Helicopter only for the facility to collapse on itself; Coulson and Maria are a safe distance from harm but Fury as some trouble as the helicopter is attacked by Loki leading him to call for action... his call for war.

The next scene we see Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow (played by Scarlett Johansson) stuck in interrogation with a Russian suspect of a presumed arms dealer only for Coulson to call her during the interrogation leading her to an able escape and the ability to take down the interrogators only for her to receive the information on what’s happened with Barton. He informs her to go after the big guy while he goes for Stark.

In Calcutta (a city in West Bengal, India) we see Dr Bruce Banner (Played by Mark Ruffalo from Shutter Island) treating patients as a general doctor, only to be called away when a girl asks for his assistance only for him to follow leading to be a trap set up by SHIELD, Banner is disproval of this when Agent Romanoff appears stating that they need his help with something, only for him to state that other guy (HULK) won’t comply.

She debriefs him by stating the Tesseract releases small pulses of gamma radiation that are too small for them to find though Banner can... which is weird because they could have asked Betty Ross who also shared Banner’s experience when it came to Gamma Radiation, or General Ross for that matter.. He tests her patience and wins over to her approval leading him to be on the team for the moment.

The next person shows Fury in a meeting with the World Security Council showing their disapproval of what Fury has planned stating that he need to stay focused on the Phase 2 project and not on Loki or the ‘handful of freaks’ only for Fury to decline by stating they only hired a response team to retrieve the Tesseract... see what I mean by reckless force?

We then see Captain America, Steve Rogers (Chris Evens) fighting against a boxing bag whilst having flashbacks from the world war only to literally punch it off the hanger only to be greeted by Fury to appear and informs him about the current situation at hand, which Rogers quickly agrees to as long as it’s to stop the threat as well as to return the Tesseract when he responds that they ‘should have left it in the ocean’.

We then skip to Iron Man himself Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) who is in the process of repairing an electrical line under the water of New York to power up his building using pure clean energy which he himself invented (Iron Man 2) named Stark Tower. Just out of curiosity, wouldn’t that new source of energy also boost his reputation for being a scientist aside from a former weapons engineer?

As he leaves for Stark Tower, we see his assistant/girlfriend, Pepper Potts (played by Gwyneth Paltrow) who recommends him on going to the press which he’s dismissive of, only for his A.I system Jarvis (once again voiced Paul Bettany) interrupts him on Coulson’s intrusion only for Tony to ignore them numerous times. Coulson does eventually get over to Stark to consult him on joining the Avengers Initiate to Stark’s dismay on the matter at hand as he wasn’t qualified for the team.

Though he reluctantly agrees to join them over Pepper’s use of persuasion, mainly the 12% theory that Marvel has thrown out for the sake of it; Steve and Coulson are on a Quinjet on their way to the SHIELD Heli-carrier and discuss the people that he’s about to meet, which is an interesting session as Coulson literally states that he idolised Captain America but meeting him in the flesh is something of a treat.

Loki on the other hand speaks with the Other who is strongly displeased with the results that Loki is performing with the Tesseract, mainly towards Loki’s attitude against the Chitauri Army leading for a threat of the Other stating that is Loki fails, then He will come for him and no matter where he hides, He will remove everything from his existence.

However when Banner comes to meet him, he’s quite displeased that he will be locked with in a floating fortress, especially that he is suspicious about the fact that he agreed to team up with a high military force whilst searching for a device which has unlimited amount of energy. As they are brought inside for debriefing of the situation at hand, the Heli-carrier begins to ascend as well as be placed on camouflage, this raises a question on the technology itself that SHIELD are using.

If the camouflage is extended around the base of the Heli-carrier, what about the planes that are on the ship? Would they be camouflaged as well or do they run on a separate system entirely?

Meanwhile Selvig needs to acquire some iridium to stabilize the power of the Tesseract only to locate the Iridium in Stuttgart, Germany leading for Barton to state that he needs a distraction as well as an eyeball; SHIELD have managed to track Loki at a museum leading SHIELD to send Captain America with a team to assist.

At the Museum, Barton kills several guards outside to get to the safe holding the iridium while Loki performs a distraction by killing several guards also abstracting an eyeball (in quite a gruesome manner especially for a family film) to Barton to unlock the safe, Barton steals the Iridium giving Loki the advantage on taking several hostages while destroying the authority nearby.

An elderly man rises above him to confront him stating that he doesn’t fear monsters like him, only for Loki to shoot a bolt from his sceptre at him only to be defended by Captain America’s Shield just in time and oh boy...

What the actual hell have they done to his costume, it looks like he’s going to a strip club, not become a superhero, hell the early nineties Captain America costume was better than this, and to make matters worse, that this was Coulson’s idea when he mentioned that he placed something in the costume to update it, for what to announce that he’s in the closet?

A fight ensues when Romanoff arrives in the Quinjet leading Loki to gain the upper hand only for Iron Man to interrupt the fight overpowering Loki and saving Captain America before it escalates, knowing that he’s surrounded; the god of mischief surrenders and places himself arrested by SHIELD.

On route back to the Helicarrier, Stark and Rogers discuss on Loki’s performance that he’s too quiet to be remain a prisoner but something in the clouds disagree with them, a storm suddenly emerges only to be revealed by the god of Thunder himself arriving, behold the almighty Thor (played by Chris Hemsworth) who forces his way in the Quinjet and steals Loki away for a private negotiation, leading Iron Man to pursue along with Captain America.

Thor throws Loki to a mountain and starts an interrogation on where the Tesseract is but breaks down on the fact that they all missed him (referring to the Asgardians) only for Loki claims his right to the Kingdom of Asgard only for Loki to mock his brother’s love of Earth only for him to state that he will take Earth as his own.

Thor is immediately taken down to a forest by Iron Man only for a confrontation leading Stark to mock him for his clothing, which escalates into a fight between the crimson avenger and the Norse god of thunder. Err Stark, I would run if I was you, he is literally a god and you are just a mere man. Loki is literally watching them go at it only for one question is why doesn’t he run away? Captain America stops the fight leading to Thor to slam Mjolnir against the Shield only for the Shield to deflect the mighty blow.

After this, they agree to take Loki in as a team only for Thor to return the Tesseract where it belongs, on the Helicarrier, Fury places Loki into a prison cell which can descend from the atmosphere straight to the ground at a high velocity, as well as placing one final threat. The Avengers talk on Loki only for Thor to state what he knows on Loki, that he leads an army called the Chitauri as well.

The team also speak of the way Loki is planning the war at hand, also leading the fact that he needed iridium to stabilize the Tesseract only for Stark to act like he normally does and pretty much becomes a jerk to everyone aside from placing a tracer connected to JARVIS on one of the SHIELD computers, aside from stating that they need a high energy frame to support the portal that Loki requires to open the portal, which causes Maria to ask why he knows so much...

Maria... you did your homework on Stark, right? It appears that the character is heavily downplayed rather the ones we see in the comics. Though after stating this Stark becomes friends with Banner due to his experience in military science and technology leading towards a cringe-worthy moment from Captain Boy-scout... no seriously can someone please change his bloody outfit?

Stark agrees to help Banner search for the Tesseract in using the sceptre only to notice that the sceptre is both powered by the Cosmic Cube as well as having the same radiation levels of the device; though this leads to a confrontation on Stark and Rogers over the idea of joining the Avengers, leading for Stark that it was due to desperation or possibly something else while Roger’s refuses to believe it.

Though Banner has some good points such as seeing that the Tesseract needed something with enough energy to supply a replacement source and then states that Stark Tower could have that energy due to the arc reactors that support the power, or another question entirely on why is SHIELD so involved with energy to begin with.

Rogers points out dismay at Stark stating on why they didn’t want Stark on the team though Stark proves it by stating they were scared of his intellect. This is why I think Captain America is the weakest Avenger alone, his story isn’t very interesting as it just debunks everything of his own premise, he’s just a man looking for a fight and that’s it, and people wonder why I prefer DC.

Though leaving Bruce and Stark, Rogers does have some thoughts over what Stark says and starts his own investigation in some of SHIELD’s secrets and eventually does come across something of interest which does raises his suspicions, HYDRA weapons from the World War 2 era. Selvig on the other hand has supplied the last of the iridium into a support frame for the Tesseract.

Thor speaks to Coulson about Jane Foster for a brief moment stating that she was safe and away from harm only for Thor to recollect his meaning of war from a young age. Especially stating that Loki has supreme vengeance upon him alone for what Thor has done by removing his Throne away from him.

Loki on the other hand has a visitor in the form of Black Widow whom he continuously threatens by stating that her friends will be dead all to the account of her only when she releases the Monster, though through her confession she does state some feelings for Barton due to a mission gone wrong, but she manages to recover from his threats by revealing that he was going to release the Hulk on the ship.

Though this comes to a problem as Stark finds out the Phase 2 program that Fury was desperately hiding, to use the Tesseract in order to make weapons because of Thor in case they go rogue causes a huge argument between Thor, Black Widow, Banner, Fury, Stark and Rogers leading them to distrust each other as Thor calls them petty.

And to be entirely honest, it was Fury’s fault for doing so as it was his original plan on using the Tesseract which resulted in bringing Loki to Earth as well as his army, remember what I stated about SHIELD being incompetent... at least you don’t see Star Labs or A.R.G.U.S doing something this stupid.

Meanwhile in an argument between Captain America and Iron Man which leads them to suggest who would win in a fight. Barton on the other hand manages to assemble a team of corrupted agents that Loki used to attack the Helicarrier head on to retrieve the sceptre in order to awaken the portal to release the Chitauri only to shoot and explosive arrow that destroys one of the Helicarriers propellers.

This leads over to Banner stating that he attempted to commit suicide in return of living like a monster only for the Hulk to retaliate, he also states that it’s Fury who put everyone at risk for bringing him on board, this causes them to know the location of the Tesseract just in time for the explosion to hit them at full force, leading Fury to give orders to Stark and Rogers to repair the engine while Coulson to get to the armoury, Banner on the other hand is trapped with Romanoff and has no other choice but to unleash the beast.

Rogers and Stark manage to fix the engine due to broken debris whist preventing an invasion of the brainwashed henchmen from Loki, Black Widow on the other hand has some issues when Hulk starts chasing her leading him to fight Thor when he forces him away into the aircraft section, the henchmen invade the command centre leading Maria and Fury to stop them from killing the others only for Barton to shoot a virus headed arrow into the control panel disrupting one of the engines.

Maria orders a soldier to distract the Hulk via aircraft to stop him from shredding the Helicarrier apart, which he does get distracted leading him to attack the pilot leading the plane to explode causing him to fall to the earth; Iron Man manages to fix the engine on the other hand keeping the Helicarrier up in the air, leading Widow to find Barton only to knock him out of his brainwashed mind.

Thor attempts to stop Loki from escaping only to get trapped in the cage leading for Coulson to confront the god of Mischief with a gun they made from the Destroyer (Thor). Coulson gets fatally stabbed by Loki leading for Thor to get sent straight to the Earth leading for Loki to gloat about his deeds leading for Coulson to shoot him through the wall via the Destroyer’s gun.

Thor manages to break out in time leading him some temporary misuse of the Mjolnir, Loki eventually escapes but to Coulson’s death shocking the group, including Rogers and Stark. Later that day, Fury states that he found several cards that related to Captain America that belonged to Coulson which he throws at him, leading me to believe that he is blaming them.

Fury... you are aware that all this is entirely your fault, if you didn’t mess around with the Tesseract to begin with, none of this would have eventually happened, I know I’m being a bit overboard on this but you have to agree in some points that Fury in the MCU movies is portrayed somewhat over confident towards their goals but somehow manipulates others into to stating that it’s their fault for losing.

Fury states the truth that they were planning on making weapons with the Tesseract and then states that the Avengers Initiate based on a group of remarkable people on stating that they can do something more to help them with their lives... such as a being of Nordic mythology, a man whose only skill is in archery, a man who would easily drop dead from exposure to radiation, a man with severe memory problems in resulting in flashbacks, a guy with a hole in his chest which could kill him due to metallic poisoning as well as heart problems (trust me I’ve been there) and a Russian assassin... so much of a team of remarkable people there Fury.

He also performs the dead person card which is too much for Stark to handle and plainly leaves for a moment of himself... all I have to say to you, Whedon, is screw you for writing a meaningful character from the comics and turning him into an utter moron as well as a disrespectful immature child who only wants things done for his own personal need. This is why I hate the MCU... Christ, Amanda Waller in Suicide Squad was a better leader than Nick Fury in this.

Banner wakes up in a broken warehouse as well to a cameo of a celebrity who is no longer with us (Harry Dean Stanton you are missed) Henry states that he saw pretty much everything that Banner once was and states that he needs serious help. At the Helicarrier, Barton comes round from his injury and remembers who he was and apologizes to Natasha for what has happened.

Rogers and Stark have a brief moment alone and states a few good words on Phil only for Stark to literally go into a meltdown on how they are going to take down Loki which results in him remembering that he wants to hit the Avengers hard by taking down the Stark Tower as he stated to gain an audience. Where we see Selvig set up the Tesseract in the support and waiting for Loki’s permission to start.

The Avengers prepare themselves for one final fight as Thor regains his power, Stark repairing his Iron Man suit and Captain America going to a LGBT Parade; sorry I mean getting on a Quinjet and taking it to New York. Fury manages to track were they are heading and forces Maria to obtain the communications to collect backup.

Iron Man arrives first and after attempting to destroy the wormhole machine itself, he realises that he must face Loki alone, which he does so whilst preparing to obtain a newer updated Iron Man suit, this is where it loses me for a bit, Stark debunks that Loki has pissed the Avengers off only for him to reply with that’s the plan... What the Hell... so his plan was to fight a group of people who can easily over power and beat him.... what is Loki’s Motivation again? Something to do with conquering earth in return for the Tesseract...

Stark manages to threaten him that they will easily defeat him only for Loki to state that will not happen... Loki... you are as threatening as a villain as Scarecrow from Batman Begins... maybe cool and threatening once but easily overused and easily beaten...

Loki throws Stark through a window leading for Stark to activate the new suit in mid air whilst shooting Loki in retaliation for Phil, just in time for the Chitauri Army to arrive to destroy New York City... I have to admit one thing... it’s actually surprisingly amazing as well as the CGI meets Practical effects... kudos...

Thor fights against Loki for a bit leading for the others to arrive bar Banner leading to a fight between the 5 against an entire army... Loki manages to evade Thor by jumping on the Chitauri craft leading for the Avengers to separate ways to defend others as Black Widow and Hawkeye to defend a bunch of civilians and Captain America to defend the police, while Iron Man and Thor to clear the skies.

However seeing that they are overmatched, Banner arrives to assist by transforming in to the Hulk once again, which I have to admit, is a pretty amazing scene as well and a highlight from the movie in point of view especially punching on the Chitauri, killing it in the process, leading the camera to cycle around the heroes.

The team go separate ways to stop the war from spreading leading for Fury to engage a conversation with Council once again, leading for them to state that they need to launch a nuclear strike on the city to prevent the war from spreading across the country, this is also due to the national guard arriving to help defeat the aliens. Though Fury has doubts about this and cancels the communication about them.

So some reason Black Widow manages to get her way to the Tesseract only for Selvig (now out of his mind control) to reveal a weakness, Loki’s sceptre which will disrupt the wormhole destroying the invasion; The Council have managed to override Fury’s command and sends a plane to nuke New York City, Fury warns Stark about the missile which Stark attempts to trace down with the remaining battery power he has left.

Black Widow manages to obtain the Sceptre and prepares to close the portal only to stop when Stark tells them that a nuclear missile is inbound, leading Stark to grab the missile and force it through the portal in order to stop the invasion. He does so, stopping all power to his suit sending his body into a freefall while destroying the Chitauri mothership leading for Romanoff to close the portal fortunately saving Stark from being trapped.

Though this is a problem when Stark is still in freefall only to be saved by the Hulk leading the Avengers to attempt the bring Stark round from his death-like encounter, which again is saved by the Hulk as he screams which somehow brings him back to life; which brings them to the realization that Loki is still on the loose.

Loki is quickly captured and taken under custody of SHIELD who give him and the Tesseract over to Thor to return to Asgard in safety and preparation for future invasions, Fury on the other hand is in a conference call with the Council whom states that if they place a call like that then the Avengers would be at war with the council, hell even Maria Hill brings it up leading Fury to state that they will be needed when a situation will be at hand.

During the credits, Stark is changing Stark Tower to the Avengers Tower following some blueprints that he’s created, and through the mid credits, the Other speaks with his leader, the one they gave the sceptre to Loki is revealed that it is indeed Thanos.

And that was Avengers Assemble, I have to admit one thing, it has major flaws in some areas, such as Loki’s change of motivation, Fury’s need for his own authorisation, his ideas towards making weapons on someone who didn’t expose them as threats, and another thing is the costumes towards one character in particular.

I’ll go over the good points to start with, the music alone is a plus for the feature especially done by Alan Silvestri who also worked on the Back to the Future series, or in particular Forrest Gump, the theme actually works in some scenes, especially the fighting scenes.

The acting from the main Avenger characters is incredible especially when it comes to symbolising each character from Captain America’s war fetish to Iron Man’s ego, the acting is quite spot on, though some of the characters didn’t get enough screen time possibly due to neglect from the script or mainly screen time on said characters.

Let’s look at Maria Hill for example; she needs to be explored more than just an agent as she was more closer to the characters rather than Fury was, she was more of an open character who dealt with things in a more manual position than Fury did, especially when it came to one event entirely that Fury wasn’t in... Civil War, I’ll get to that another time. Another character was Selvig as he didn’t get enough time to explain his change of career or his interest in physics.

Now for the bad side of the film, the motivation of 2 characters in particular really pissed me off with the film entirely, Loki who changed from messenger to godlike figure then back to messenger, this is a Nordic god for crying out loud and yet they down play him as just a beat up boss from a video game. It seemed like there was something different changed for the character from the first movie, such how was he meant for the power without the staff or everything that Thanos gave him.

Nick Fury’s turn now and I apologize for disliking what I stated in the review but the truth is still there, as he was supposed to bring them up to speed and introduce them to each other yet in this , he’s turned into the second antagonist villain like material only to change to a protagonist during the third act.

They should have had someone better to write the characters rather than a person who only created franchise about a teenager who sleeps with demons and vampires. The writing of the character needs to be changed PRONTO as he was more ambitious as well as profound towards a child like manner.

The costume design now which I hate to say it is really close breaking some barriers, mainly towards Captain America as I thought it was more of a satire but after watching the film kinda forced the upper hand to make some crude comments on the decision but if you look at the outfit and judge it from a Superhero movie entirely then you would see the same thing that I saw. Why modify it into a slick outfit that not even Elton John would wear, the outfit was both humorous to watch as well as ridiculous to gander at.

And that was the Avengers Assemble, unfortunately I rushed myself in the last review I made on this but it was achieved with a good rating due to how close the movie was to the comics, but after re-watching and re-reading my previous review, I was wrong on how strange it moved itself away from the atonement of the comics.

The comedic tone of the film heaves it down a bit though for a family feature it was supposed to be light hearted yet it was dark in some scenes; the writing was badly done and needs to be developed further as well as the introduction to the other characters including SHIELD agents that were featured in this film.

Hell Suicide Squad was a better team based movie than this, and that is saying something...

Unfortunately Joss, you have failed greatly to achieve Marvel’s dream of an ideology towards superheroes and how to make a movie based on superheroes; Which means that this movie is on the Shitlist for poor character development on the main villain, side character, poor costume design and story towards main villain.

I hope you guys enjoy the review and yes this is my official review for Christmas of 2017, join me next year as I dive into a review on a game that has been around since the early 1990s. I hope you guys have a lovely Christmas and if I don’t speak to you till then, I’ll see you next year...

Yours Truly,
