What name/handle do you go by? valtyr
What was your favorite Avengers movie moment? Natasha's opening scene. I... have a particular weakness for that move of Natasha's that involves her wrapping her legs round someone's neck and slamming then into the ground. I've stared rapt at so many gifs of her doing it to Happy. But the whole scene was great, the way she cocked her eyebrows at the Russian guy, and the somersaulting through the air on a chair.
What do you want in the next Marvel movie? Steve being big-eyed and angsty and continuing to wear tight t-shirts. Natasha slamming guys into the ground and being bros with Clint. Bruce and Tony being science bros. Pepper and Tony being cute together. Steve seeing Peggy again.
Any exciting fandom plans? All of them. But first I have to finish this one fic I've been shaking and prodding for literally years. :|

Steve costumes!
This one is body paint, I think:

Carefully themed parka:

This is a dream sequence. SYMBOLISM:

In other news, this answers a deep need of my soul:

And this is totally off-topic but always cracks me up:

... I refuse to believe that Steve is actually wearing anything in that first sequence of panels. I can't see a single sign that would imply he's in fact covered with fabric.

Clearly this is the most effective interrogation technique.

[valtyr]

Seriously. He's probably wearing his gunbelt low on his hips to try and maintain some modesty.

omg, I love Steve's ridiculous outfits. The Avengers are such fashion don'ts sometimes.

[valtyr]

CATALOGUE POSE:

[cookinguptales.livejournal.com]

Needs a sunhat, imo. I feel like all catalogues have sunhats this time of year.

The Avengers Summer Collection.

I have gone over the 'killing people with legs' gifs so many times, and I STILL can't figure out what's going on. I'm pretty sure some Laws of Science are being broken. HOW IS HER BODY MOVING? It makes no SENSE

[valtyr]

Seriously, that one with Happy! I have NO IDEA. She just... turns upside down. HOW. ARE YOU A WIZARD?

[ikira.livejournal.com]

Someone posted a gif on tumblr of someone doing it at a martial arts competition. SO IT'S AN ACTUAL THING. IT CAN BE DONE OUTSIDE OF MOVIES. I just couldn't for the life of me tell you how

[valtyr]

I am terrible, terrible at finishing things. I usually need deadlines to force me to. :/ I have over a hundred WIPs.

And it's quite hard to find someone who draws him muscular, but not like a brick house

Oh, boy, have I got an artist for you! Pacheho's work on the first arc of Ultimate Avengers.

The Fury pic legit made me lol; also, it made me think of this:



Natasha's opening scene was my fav of the teaser clips!

[valtyr]

Haha oh Thor, your hair and enthusiasm are so adorable.

[rathanylakan.livejournal.com]

Liquid latex bodysuits as suits :) I just reread some of the comics and I kept going "So much crotch ..."

[valtyr]

They must maintain a strict waxing regime.

I've always wondered if ScarJo actually did all of those stunts herself, especially the leg thing - I mean, how does anyone do that??

Also, just because I can never stop myself from gushing, love all your fic :)

[valtyr]

Thank you! ♥

I heard Scarlett did a lot of her own scenes, and a lot of training - her directors commented on her enthusiasm for action sequences. But part of the reason she took her hair down to fight in IM2 is to help hide the stunt double, so I think the more spectacular moves are probably doubled.

[elenothar.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

I guess that makes sense...I think I heard somewhere that they have insurance problems if actors want to do all their stunts?

[nerakrose]

if you take a close look at the chair flipping scene (the one where she smashes it down to break it) you'll see that she suddenly has very muscular arms. i'm willing to bet that was a stunt double. :D

[nerakrose]

the only thing wrong with the painted on suit is the strategically placed speech bubble. times two. and convenient shadow.

[valtyr]

INCONVENIENT SPEECH BUBBLE:

*________* <- my face looking at Steve in bodypaint. (suit, what suit?)

Also, can I add that I really, really love your fanfictions? They're actually what got me into the fandom in the first place. ^^" I occasionally have the strange habit of reading fanfiction of things I only have the vaguest idea of, falling for a pairing and then looking up the actual canon. *shot*

[valtyr]

If it is a suit, he was vacuum packed into it.

Thank you! I'm glad to hear it. :D Don't worry, it doesn't matter how you got into the fandom - the important thing is you're here now!
