He understands that my love of fictional characters is not me lusting after someone else, is not me wishing I was married to someone else, is not me comparing him to other people. It's wrapped up with me being a writer and delighting in fictional worlds and fictional people. He bought me a giant cardboard Thor, after all -- as much as is possible for a non-writer, he gets it :-)<br /><br />(I've had a grand total of one Thor dream. In which he and I were on this abandoned cargo ship, and somewhere down below was a beast called a Traffelgrrr, and I was helping Thor figure out where it was so he could go smoosh it.)<br /><br />(I LOVE dreams that involve fictional characters.)Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496082454270008723.post-35941563464344119232014-11-03T22:24:49.646-06:002014-11-03T22:24:49.646-06:00Fair enough.

Haha.<br /><br />And then there's Cowboy....just kidding. ;-) Seriously, though, I get your meaning. When you read or watch enough of a character, you really can get attached to them. Like, Polly Milton was like the big sister I never had growing up, or Clark Davis was my ideal husband. And Thor...well, yeah, you know. I get really defensive over him, especially when people say Cap is better. Boo.<br /><br />(Not to mention I have dreamed about him. Like last night. Where we were reading Emma together. And he tried to impress me by telling me the whole story from memory. I was very impressed. *snort* Perhaps I shouldn't eat Subway late at night....)Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09635893479396162523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496082454270008723.post-67315283791342855372014-11-03T07:26:34.310-06:002014-11-03T07:26:34.310-06:00I'll worry about Ragnarok when it comes.

Apparently, the mythological Ragnarok was the 'end of the world' where the important gods die. The comic Ragnarok is still the 'end of the world/rebirth' and comic Asgard has experienced many Ragnaroks. I'm not sure we're totally out of the water. :-)<br /><br />I love how you rank your 'men'. :-) I think unfortunately Thor may be tier 3 for me, because I read a lot of Janette Oke when I was young, and then I read Austen, and then I discovered comic books/movies. Which reminds me: I have a draft about fictional men that girls compare real guys to. In books, mostly. It's more actually more serious than I just made it out to be. :-)Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09635893479396162523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496082454270008723.post-38699060375803717112014-11-02T16:30:43.739-06:002014-11-02T16:30:43.739-06:00A Thor 3 has been announced.

He's one of my top 5 characters that are so important to me they really transcend the word "favorite." The others are Sgt. Saunders from "Combat!", Sawyer from "Lost", Wolverine, and canon Sherlock Holmes. Thor, alas, is second-tier. That may change with this movie. But those 5 I have loved for decades, whereas I only "met" Thor when <i>The Avengers</i> came out.)Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496082454270008723.post-23928020993595134872014-10-26T16:36:58.252-05:002014-10-26T16:36:58.252-05:00Oh, and I forgot to say that 'Sweet Boy' i...Oh, and I forgot to say that 'Sweet Boy' is totally Christian fangirl appropriate, so I'm justifying my 'babe' with that justification. ;-)Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09635893479396162523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496082454270008723.post-65315895916233382692014-10-25T21:27:45.890-05:002014-10-25T21:27:45.890-05:00I JUST caught the fist-clenching, and that totally...I JUST caught the fist-clenching, and that totally proves my point. Thor is obviously very upset about something in this one. But what?! If Whedon hurts him, there will be a small riot over here. I am also worried, especially because in the shot of Cap's busted shield, I realized that the half a body/arm laying there belongs to Thor--not to Cap. WHAT is with that. <br /><br />*sigh* I've had more than a few rants about the shirtless thing. It's getting old..... All they do is cater to the Thor's-bod-fangirls, and then give all the character development to Captain America. ARGH. *punches wall*<br /><br />The 40s thing could be a flashback, but I'm still curious why. <br /><br />See, I should've recognized Serkis, but I was so stuck on von Strucker that I totally missed it. The rest of the Internet speculates that he could be Ulysses Klaw, who works with vibranium, which is what could be melting off Ultron's hand in the beginning. Also, Klaw has something to do with Black Panther, some other comic book hero. And apparently the ballerinas refer to Natasha's being brainwashed by the KGB.<br /><br />I'm a little nervous about this one, too. I'm bound and determined to go see this opening night if our theater has it (I'm even considering 3D), but I may come out an overstimulated schizophrenic. :-) (Who's your favorite character?

Not kidding. I was determined to catch all the surprise bits. I've been Sherlock-y for the last 3 days. :-) I did read somewhere that the ballerinas have something to do with Nat's past, because the KGB brainwashed her into believing her past didn't exist and she'd been a ballerina.<br /><br />I don't even know where to start with AoS. :/ I'm so behind, and I have way too many other things to watch. Maybe someday when I get put on bedrest, lol.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09635893479396162523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496082454270008723.post-55218694728893526022014-10-25T19:55:00.361-05:002014-10-25T19:55:00.361-05:00Thanks!

I can't quit thinking about it, and all my friends say I'm obsessed, but I'm just like, "Well, guess who will know all the cool info before the movie comes out? Not y'all." :-D When you describe the trailer like your brother did, though, I guess it does sound kind of unbelievable. :-)Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09635893479396162523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496082454270008723.post-9287474020407015012014-10-25T16:41:25.976-05:002014-10-25T16:41:25.976-05:00Dark, scary, yes.

I told my brothers that this one was gonna make Avengers look like sparkly unicorns pooping out cotton candy and rainbows. Which...is slightly inappropriate, but it demonstrates my point. This movie is gonna be SAD. <br /><br />So glad I could make you laugh.

Nothing good happens that...Thor is fist-clenching. Nothing good happens that makes him fist-clench. <br /><br />(You call him baby Thor. I call him my Sweet Boy. We both need help.)<br /><br />What if Thor dropped his hammer because he's hurt, not shocked? If Joss Whedon hurts my Thor, I am going to... make empty threats on the internet!!!<br /><br />I'm guessing the '40s shots are flashbacks Cap is having, and that's probably Bucky and Agent Carter with him.<br /><br /><i>who is that. is that baron von strucker.</i> That's Andy Serkis. IMDB doesn't give a character name for him -- creepy! But he's not Baron von Strucker, that's Thomas Kretschmann. Who has kind of a similar profile to Jeremy Renner, so I'm gonna bet that's him playing piano for the ballerinas.<br /><br />And I've had several conniption fits about Thor being shirtless. In the freaking trailer!!!!!!!!!! ARGH! When my best friend saw this trailer, her only thought through half of it was, "Hamlette's going to be so cross that Thor is shirtless."<br /><br />I'm very scared about this movie. Joss Whedon has hurt my heart a hundred times in the past. He killed my second-favorite character of all time. He's not to be trusted. His storytelling mantra is, "don't give the audience what they want, give them what they need." Pretty much cowering in fear and trying not to think about this movie until May.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496082454270008723.post-11293285776894482062014-10-24T12:10:29.569-05:002014-10-24T12:10:29.569-05:00"HOLY SON OF A DORITOS-LOVING MONKEY MOTHER&q..."HOLY SON OF A DORITOS-LOVING MONKEY MOTHER" is possibly the strangest thing I've seen today.

Funny story, actually: my younger brother walked in and says, "Hannah, in the new Avengers trailer the villain quotes Pinocchio, and the Pinocchio song is playing in the background." And I was like, "Hahaha, that's so funny, good one!" because he always jokes around like that. And then he added, "Yeah, and also there's ballerinas in it! And a slow-motion scene of Thor with no shirt on." And I just laughed at him more, although that last one sounded plausible.<br /><br />So when I watched it I was like, "What. For real. No way."<br /><br />But it was done so well! It's seriously a cool teaser. Again, great post! So funny. :)Hannah Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11989588874705188098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496082454270008723.post-76646756011633072182014-10-24T09:35:00.091-05:002014-10-24T09:35:00.091-05:00I'm actually so excited to see this...
