now THAT is how you spend a Saturday
Went to the movie theater. Saw Avengers, Snow White and the Huntsman, and Brave.
ALL THE FEELS.
Most of the feels do not go into words, but I am buying all three movies at my earliest opportunity. I actually lost count of how often Brave passed Bechdel. Also Natasha Romanov STOLE THE FUCKING SHOW and anyone who tells you otherwise was not watching the same movie I saw. Also Natasha/Maria plz?
Quoth the Roger Ebert review: "Brave" seems at a loss to deal with [Merida] as a girl and makes her a sort of honorary boy. UH NO. NO SHE IS NOT. GIRLS CAN DO ARCHERY AND BE OUTDOORSY AND BE BADASS TOO. AND HAVE FUN FINDING A BOY WHO CAN SEW. Okay that last isn't quite fair, but it's fair enough considering the setting.

Whoever said Ravenna's self-image depends on Ravenna being the victim? Even though Ravenna is a sorcerer of terrifying power? TOTALLY RIGHT.
Seriously could have lived without the explicit statement that this is a Christian nation.
Might have been nice to have forewarning that the sapient inhabitants of this country are not universally human. Also, female dwarves, why are there not any?

(Otherwise, I am still super excited to get to watch this movie.)

She needs her own movie. I'm debating whether or not to see Brave, I take it you're in the "get to the theater, Tigs!" category? :)

Natasha is the bestest! She kicks all the asses there are! On the Romanov/Hill I will think. No reason not to ship, I guess, but I never have before. Actually, I guess I don't generally ship Black Widow in The Avengers, although there were some lovely fics involving Clint and Steve... In Iron Man II I ship her with Pepper...
