Mako's Message: Hey, look, I updated within a week! Not quite back to where I want to be a hell of a lot better than I have been. And this chapter was kind of obligatory. It does, however, fit into one of my (not so)grand puzzles. Enjoy!
Oh god tonight was awesome.
Ya know, I just realized that I hardly ever start talking about a night out of costume like that, but tonight really was.
How could it not be? We saw The Avengers! That movie was fucking sweet! I loved that so much. It was great getting to see Iron Man and Thor and Captain America cutting loose and kicking ass. Oh and Hulk was awesome. Best scene in the movie by FAR was when he was slamming Loki around like a rag doll. The only way that could have been better would be if some aliens came in and he'd smacked them around with Loki like a he was a manchuk.
And fucking Hawkeye and Black Widow were badass too. I could totally see myself down there fighting back to back with her. God that'd be so fucking awesome. Dave teased me about like mad too. I was so pumped up I was shadowboxing my way out of the theater and through the parking lot and didn't even care.
Angela really liked it too. She kept going on about how hot Thor was though. Not that I can really disagree with her, but I kinda liked Captain America too. He kinda reminded me of Dave. Little bulkier, and of course his hair was shorter, but still.
Marty and Dave were discussing which Black Widow scene was their favorite. Todd actually said his favorite scene was one with her and Hawkeye when she said, "It's just like Belgrave" or wherever she said, and he was like, "We remember Belgrave very differently."
It was good line.
And I think what made it so great was that even the comedy felt in character. It wasn't like it was comedy for the sake of comedy. It was just funny because it was funny. Though, Iron Man making fun of Thor was kinda hilarious. Still in character though.
And then when Thor blasts Iron Man only to supercharge his suit and get blasted right back, that's a perfect example of something being funny but dead serious at the same time.
Another good one was when Capt America was told that Loki and Thor were practically Gods and he said, "There's only one God, and he doesn't dress like that." on the one hand, it's sounds so corny, but he said it so straight and it was so in character it didn't even sound like he was making a religious statement. More like a declaration of intent to whoop their asses up and down the mountain side.
It was just perfect. Everybody can stop making movies now because this will never be topped and it will never get old.
I'm actually GLAD Angela blabbed about my birthday now. This is what we were going to do for my birthday in the first place, but now that the team is planning this big party I was able to talk Dave, Marty, Todd, and Angela into going to see it as an early, private, Birthday Party, so I'd have had to wait another week to see this otherwise.
We went out to eat afterwards and we ended up almost forgetting about our food we had so much fun talking about everything. They even got into this big argument after Todd said it was a shame that the new Spider-Man movie hadn't come out yet so he couldn't be in it, about whether or not Spider-Man could have been any help. And I was like, "Bitches, if Black Widow was able to help, Spider-Man could have helped." I mean, he's at least as strong as Capt. America, more agile than Black Widow, and he could web up and disable all those flying sled things. How Marty thought he would have been redundant was beyond me.
Angela made the most hilarious argument though, "Well obviously he couldn't be in it because Black Widow was filing the spider spot."
I still have no idea if she was serious or not, but we were all too busy laughing to care.
When we were finally winding down, Todd asked, "So, we're all going to see Dark Shadows next weekend right?"
Marty shrugged and said, "Sure, why not?"
The Todd looked at Me and Dave, and we looked at each other and then Dave said, "I might have to work, so, we'll see."
I said, "Maybe? I dunno. My teachers have really been slamming us with homework that I need to catch up on, and Cameron was threatening us with extra practices."
Then Todd looked at Angela like she was his last hope, and she gave a long drawn out shrug and said, "Mmmeh."
And he said, "Oh come on! It's got Johnny Depp! I KNOW you love Johnny Depp!"
And she said, well yeah, but he's gonna be in pasty make-up with claws, and his hair is gonna be short everything that makes him hot is gonna be taken away."
So, I dunno. Might be fun to go out again. Just hard to work up enthusiasm for the movie. Especially after The Avengers. Nothing would compare.
I guess we'll just see what happens.
