Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 20 August 2012

[muccamukk]

Hello and welcome to the weekly cap_ironman/cap_ironman newsletter.

Reminder: Cap/Iron Man Big Bang drafts and summaries are due 31 August. See c_im_bigbang for details.

I would also like to thank each and everyone of you for being so great about using the mandatory header elements and/or the suggested header. You make modding a joy.

Marvel Solicits for November are out, including the new Cap and IM titles, and a new team of Avengers Assemble (which has both). If you're wondering why half of them have NOW! in the copy, check out CBR's rundown on Marvel Now! (the totally not in anyway a relaunch that the company's doing this fall).

In movie news, Avengers 2 has a release day. start your calendar countdowns for 1 May 2015.



Stand alone films are casting women for things, which is always nice to see. Over here, Rebecca Hall says a bit about her turn as Maya Hansen in IM3, and there's some casting speculation here for who's to be the leading lady in Cap 2.

Finally, Marvel.com's up to Part Nine of its complete history of Iron Man.

Anyone else here sign up for avengersfest? I hate waiting for assignments to go out. It makes me so nervous. Only five more days.

Did you read the DnA arc where Apollo couldn't go to earth and Jenny was gone and everyone was so SAD and then THEY FIXED IT? I am so amazingly fond of that whole run, for real. I pretty much posted the whole thing to my DW so I could fawn over it to excess.

Boostle is pretty sad at times (interestingly, I got into Steve/Tony when Steve was dead and Tony was melting his brain. The first major fics I wrote for both fandoms were fixits). However, I'm mostly in that pairing for the humour and h/c Piosonivory's stuff, for example, is mostly set pre-death and plays up those aspects. That's how I got into the pairing. I only found out about the delicious, delicious tragedy (that can go away now, seriously) later.

You did better than me. I bailed back in season one.

I'M READING IT CURRENTLY. Oh god. My heart. Just...I died a little bit when Midnighter went up onto the carrier and Apollo was just like "that attitude will kill you" and he just ahhhhh and Midnighter says he wishes Apollo were here and my heart just broke into tiny pieces I'm so happy they fixed it(not spoilers cause I already knew they would xD). They're my favourite because they're just...so violent and then they go home and say sappy things to each other and watch TV together. Their relationship is what I aspire to have(sans the violently murdering people bit) someday ha ha ha!

(Oh jeez, I'm so overly fond of Cap that I cannot read the issues where he dies lol. I would probably cry but I so do not blame you for writing fixits. They are beautiful things, fixits.) Yeah, I've heard that they're a pretty humourous couple and from what I've seen of scans they are derpy as hell and I love that.

You were the smart one then! I mostly stuck in it for Brittany then later Santana then later them together. Don't know if I'll continue watching this year since I'm sure there will be other shows out there to capture my interest that aren't terrible.

IT GETS WORSE! IT GETS SO MUCH WORSE! YOUR HEART WILL SHATTER! God I love that run. Seriously.

They are the best though. I love their family and how well they work together. Bloody reboot! I was at least looking forward to them starting over and slowly falling in love, which is what Cornell was doing, but then it just skipped to them being a couple and no falling in love and MEH!

OH NO BUT WHERE WILL I KEEP MY TEARS?! I totally creeped on your DW negl and saw the scans you posted and ahhhhhhhhhh!!! I also noticed you are also from Canada what a coincidence.

Yes! I loved that they had Jenny and it was totally normal, no one kicked up a fuss, they just all were like yeah...yeah you guys should probably take her and it'll be great. That's what I loved about the original comic-it wasn't a big deal that they were gay, they just were. It was just so fabulous and I've seen scans from the new one and just ugh. Yes. It would have been a beautiful thing to see them falling in love because we didn't get to see that originally? But w/e, w/e. :'c

These are my feelings about Glee too! It could have been great! There was so much potential! And then it became SO AWFUL. Interspersed with moments that remind you you love the characters so you can't quit. You just want to take them away from their writers and all the character slander. (Which, coincidentally, is how I feel about comics much of the time.) I finally bailed after S2, mostly because I wasn't really watching tv when S3 started and then what I heard made me not want to. Good way of quitting.

One of my friends is currently rewriting S3, she was that disgusted by it. I basically asked for the cliffnotes of what happened in the season and that was enough to kill any thoughts I was having about catching up with it to find out what happened with Brittana.

Yes! I watched for the songs but then they started doing mostly newer songs and I hate most new musicgod damn new fangled autotune you kids and your pitbull *shakes cane* so...yeah. Then it was just...watching for the characters until finally with the whole marriage thing I was like nope, I'm outtie.

Ha ha ha wow, that's dedication! :'DD Brittana was the only good pairing left other than Mike and Tina who were pretty good. But the main pairings I didn't care about at all.
