A.N. And another ModernAU contribution! Not only was most of my writing in 2016 based on Frozen, but I had also started watching the MCU movies and were more than surprised by their quality in character arcs and storyteling (as a student of Comparative literature at that time I was in love).
Originally published July 20th. Prompt: Superhero/Supervillain.
It was a rainy and lazy summer day when two sisters where siting on a couch and doing the only thing possible on a day like that. They were watching movies. All over the coffee table were DVDs placed they had borrowed from the library. Anna wanted to interest her sister in Superhero movies, and as Elsa had agreed to watch the newest Captain America movie next week, they had much to catch up.
"So, how many movies have we left to watch?" asked Anna with a smile, not a bit tired from the last 5 they had already watched.
"I don´t know, not many I think. But I´m done for today. Don´t tell me you could watch some more?" said Elsa as she leaned her bag against the couch, putting her hand across her head to point out how exhausted she was.
"Why not? Just kidding. Sooo, sis… what do you think about them? Do you like them? For someone who said I don´t like action movies you sure did look interested in these we saw."
"Well… I have to admit these were not so bad at all. I very surprised how good they actually are."
"See? Prejudice against a genre is not nice."
"True. What I most liked is the balance between good characters, good story and visual effects. Like in…"
"Do you have to analyse everything?"
"Why not? If it's worth it. The characters are quite complex, but still not too much so everyone can find something to agree with them."
"Even with the villains? I don´t know. The bad guy from Iron Man was quite boring and bland. I already forgot what his plan was. The same with the Abomination guy from The Incredible Hulk. Why do they always seek power anyway?"
"Well, maybe because they are spiritually weak and search for a more physical way of expressing them self. Or they are clever and sneaky like Loki."
"Why do you bring up him? Oh no. Are you one of those Loki-fan girls that squeak and scream every time he is on screen because of his good looks and I don´t know what else? Stay away from me you traitor!" Saying that Anna grabbed two bars of chocolate and placed them in her outstretched hands so they formed a cross, like a creature of the dark was about to attack her.
"No, its not like that silly. But you have to admit that in the beginning Thor did not always act right"
"True…" Anna put her hands down and opened one of the bars to eat a bit.
"Exactly. And the person who knew how to use this for his advantage was Loki. First he started off slowly and small, but as the plot evolved and secrets came into the light, he could not stop himself. He always had a dark side, but in the end he did nothing to stop it from consuming him. Plus, I could never be on the Loki side as I think Thor is definitely more handsome." At this last words Anna had to giggle so hard that she nearly spit some of the chocolate out.
"You think Thor is hot? Uh la la. And I thought he is not your type. All muscles and that.", she said grinning.
"True, he is impulsive at first, but he does learn. He is strong, carrying, and has beautiful blond hair and…"
"Hey, that's Kristof you´re describing!"
