Avengers vs. X-Men just looks so bad. Not even entertaining bad. And I'm sorry, I love the X-Men, but when they're the ones (apparently -- I've only read solicits) being the reasonable party, you know something is wrong. Bronze Age comics are so much fun; I can't blame you. Not that I have a massive collection of older issues I'm still working through or anything. >>

I totally signed up for the Big Bang and now I'm freaking out because PLOT, PLACING, UST WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS. But it'll be fun! ... Probably! ... I hope! (It's my first time doing a BB so I am still stuck in that "what am I doing how do I do it" phase.)

Explosions and freaky dream scenes, now, then we'd be talking.

It is a really good series! I have to start handsewing a cape pretty soon (sewing machine picked a great time to start acting up) so I think I might sit down and just marathon everything I've missed. Also, Steve/Tony set in AA!verse sounds amazing and there can never be enough of it. If you wrote it, I would eat it up with a spoon. I actually had something along those lines in the works a couple of years ago, but never managed to get more than a couple thousand words in.

I'd be delighted! Adding you right now. :D

Not to butt in, but I am reading Avengers vs X-men and find it to be delightfully ridiculous in that really good bad!fic way. But I did want to clarify that I've read all the issues so far and completely think the X-Men (other than Wolverine and Beast who are on the Avengers side) are crazycakes. Like the Avengers are clearly more reasonable in the writing. I mean even Magneto is telling Cyclops he's going a bit too far.

Good to know! tbh I probably will end up reading it at some point in the future, and I'll probably get a kick out of some of it at the very least. Right now though I just think I'm having event-itis.

Wow, Scott. When Magneto says it's time to back down, maybe it's time to cash in your hours and finally take that vacation day. I hear Florida's nice.

This event is silly at best, but I also get a kick out of reading badfic so I'm good with that. The part where Gambit decides that blowing up Cap's shirt is a good attack plan was particularly amusing to me. Now if only someone would blow up Cap's shirt in the movie..............

[traincat.livejournal.com]

Let's be fair -- Gambit clearly had an ulterior motive. It's okay, Gambit, we all want to blow up Cap's shirt.

It was particularly amusing to me because Cap was on the comm with Tony at the time and Tony is all "can't you multitask and talk while you fight?" And then Steve is all like "I'm going to need another uniform."

I don't know, I'm so easily amused. Basically it needs to be either really good or deliciously bad to hold my attention. This series is so melodramatically ridiculous that it's entertaining me.

The entire premise just made me go "ugh" and the panels and complaints I've seen floating around doesn't make it any better (Steve throwing Wolverine out of a plane? Tony punching Steve and Steve threatening to break his hands? Really? Really?). But yeah, Bronze Age comics ftw. I have a particular weakness for Englehart-era Doctor Strange. Those comics are just so delightfully weird and psychedelic and sometimes surprisingly profound. <3

I had to pull out of both BBs I was supposed to write earlier this year because of lack of spare time; I've done NaNoWriMo for the past two years, so I like to think I have a bit of discipline down, but a Big Bang is supposed to actually be PUBLISHED and before that your artist has to read it and... Yeah, there's some pressure. I'm still going to sign up for this one, though. I have an AU idea I adore, I just need to come up with a proper plot. :x

Explosions in freaky dream scenes. There's something distinctly Freudian about that...

Yeah I just. Actually I realised today they started airing the second part of season two a while back? And suddenly there's SO MUCH I'VE MISSED, I need to catch up, but I'm having trouble finding links since I don't torrent. But I really liked the set-up I had, might manage it better if I got updated, even.

Whoo!

Doctor Strange is the best. There's so much fun, odd stuff that's been done with him.

That's too bad! And yeah, I think there's inherently more pressure because with NaNo you can just kind of stuff it underneath the rug afterwards. Not so much with a Big Bang! I am pretty excited about my plot, though. And good luck to you! I hope it goes wonderfully.

Aghhhh I've seen like, one episode from season two and missed half of season one, I am so behind.
