Iron Man 2 is everything I hoped it would be. Natasha kicking ass! Several nice Happy/Pepper moments! War Machine!
And afiewgwegfcdy easter egg scene after the credits with Thor's hammer in it!
Also, the bad guy, whom I have dubbed TitaniumLash, has a pet cockcatiel. When it first appeared, I wondered if it was an Ex Machina shout-out. Later in the film, there's a scene where TitaniumLash is wearing a dark-colored hoodie, and has the bird sitting on his shoulder, *exactly* like the villain from Ex Machina. it made me almost as happy as the very brief Bambi Arbogast cameo.
And they managed to work in Tony's armor slowly killing him, and something equivalent to the need to recharge his heart/breastplate, and Hammer was gloriously obnoxious, and Vanko shoutout!, and they went with MA Howard Stark, who's my favorite version of him and even had some possible hints that they're (please, please) going with real, 616!Fury backstory, what with the "I used to work with Howard back in the day, posibly on the upersolider project." And, okay, the drinking arc shout-out scenes were cringingly horribly painful, but they were cringingly, horribly painful and unwatchable the exact same way the canon version of them were. Which meant they got it right.
And Steve's prototype shield totally helps save Tony's life *gleeglee*
I felt really bad for Rhodey, though. He just kept trying to do the right thing, and kept getting put in impossible positions by both his superiors and by Tony. At least he got the War Machine armor out of the deal.
So, internet, since we all know that the Pepper/Tony content in Iron Man 2 was either a mass hallucination that never actually occurred, or was followed by an off-screen duplication of the "wow, I guess we don't really have chemistry after all. Trying to kiss you feels like kissing a sibling" scene from Iron Man v3...
Who wants to write me the ship we all know movieverse Pepper was actually in, Pepper/Natasha/Happy? (Happy's participation appreciated but optional. I just like Pepper/Happy, and, well, Happy could kind of function as Natasha's stand-in for Clint)
They even wore matching outfits and walking in step in one scene. It's meant to be. They can have sex in Tony's ugly office, to officially break it in as Pepper's. Natasha can be all, "Can I get you anything else, Ms. Potts?" and Pepper can be like, "I think that will be fine, thanks," and Natasha will lean forward over the desk, her ridiculously low blouse showing off her cleavage, and purr, "Are you sure?" And Pepper will stammer something, unable to tear her eyes away and telling herself that no, she's not going to do this, this is what Tony would do in this situation and one of her personal rules is to never, ever do what Tony would do because it's always, always a bad, bad idea, and then say "screw it, I deserve this after putting up with everything that jerk's pulled recently" and tilt her face up and close her eyes, and then Natasha kisses her, and then the clothes get torn off.
Tony will never know, which is almost a shame, because the knowledge would make him appreciate his desk much, much more.

I screamed and made grabby hands at the screen when I saw the proto-shield. (The guy next to me made an effort to keep me from falling out of my seat, in what I suspect was really a cheap attempt to cop a feel, but I needed the help staying upright so I can't complain.) And the drinking and the palladium poisoning and oh Tony. D:
HAMMER. ZOMG HAMMER. I was expecting ice, but I WILL ACCEPT DESERT.
Overall THE MOVIE WAS AMAZING AND LOVELY AND I WANT MORE PRECIOUS. MOOOOOOOOOORE.

Really, do you have to do this?
I just keep trying to bring people into this fandom to share the wonderful, creative and awesome fanfic that we have, and I keep getting hit with "but I hear bad things about Cap/Iron Man fandom." Then I defend it, because I love this fandom.
Then you - and it usually is you, because you've grown wankier and wankier lately - say something like this. Do you have any idea how hard it is to defend a fandom when you say things like this? Tony loves Pepper in the movie verse. You don't and shouldn't bash that in order to get to Steve/Tony. If you have to bash a ship in order to show how fantastic ours is, then you are doing it wrong.
Honestly, there are days I wish you and your "fiancee"/sockpuppet would just get sick of fandom and leave. Or get hit by a bus. You aren't doing fandom any favors and more and more you post things that make me fucking ashamed to have you on my flist/circle.
Just shut up and think. Or grow the fuck up. Jesus. What is wrong with you? Do you like continually making our fandom a wanky hell hole? Because more than any other contribution you've ever made, that is your lasting impact on fandom. When I think of you, I don't think of any of your stories anymore. I think of what a wanky fucking bitch you've become.
I sincerely hate you because of the vile shit you post on a regular basis and the only reason I stay friended to you is to make good and damn sure that you aren't talking about me in flock like you feel free to do about everyone else in fandom.

I think it is my right to post my opinions about things I read or watch in my own journal, even if those opinions are negative, and even if others dislike or disagree with them. If you feel that I've made comments in my journal that are racist or transphobic or otherwise contain privileged ass-showing, then you would be right to call me out. That is not, however, what you are doing here.
Had you simply commented to say that you shipped Tony/Pepper and it upset you to see me bash the pairing, I would have apologized. However, since you chose to frame your response in the form of a profanity-laced personal attack, I do not feel inclined to do so.
I will not address your comments about seanchai, because I consider expressing your dislike of me via an attack on my girlfriend to be unworthy of a response.
Furthermore, while I regret that I've apparently tainted your enjoyment of fandom to such a degree, your comments here, specifically the ones about disliking me personally but remaining on my flist solely in order to have access to my locked posts, make me uncomfortable with the idea of you having access to whatever personal information about my offline life that I've posted under flock, especially since I do not know what filters you may be on.
I understand that you want to "keep an eye on me" and make sure that I'm not talking about you behind your back, but I feel that it would be better for us not to be on one another's flists any longer if you indeed hate me and think my journal posts are "vile." I would appreciate it if you would PM me with your DW/LJ identity so that I may remove you from my access filters and unsubscribe from you in turn, since I doubt you want me reading or commenting on your journal. I promise that I will not reveal your identity to anyone else, in the fandom or out of it.
