pixieopower Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 so the Avengers movie was FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC!!! and OMG I loved it so much! But as I am watching it and trying not to scream at the dude in front of me for being all "I dont get it" for 2 hours, I realized I want to be an Avenger, well a little bit of all them really.Captain America does some killer parkor. I mean WOW. Black Widow - gymnastics and woot worthy jumps and flips and that flinging herself all over the place is SWEETThor - drool worthy core and can hurl his hammer around like its a shoebox (yeah yeah I know magic, demi-god but don't ruin my dreams)Ironman - fitness wise he doesn't have sweet powers but his brain is amazing!Hulk - strength and endurance are amazing!!Hawkeye - agility, and accuracy is sooo cool.So I think I am changing me goals to eventually be a Black Widow/ Captain America person. I dont know how to get there but I WILL FIGURE IT OUT!! *** please place your autograph on the line _____ ; so I can sell it on EBAY when you are famous *** Link to comment
WarriorAmy Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Thor - drool worthy core and can hurl his hammer around like its a shoebox (yeah yeah I know magic, demi-god but don't ruin my dreams)He really is dreamy. We watched the movie (Thor, not Avengers) the other night and I said to my husband 'This is the best action movie EVER' right after a particulary nice shirtless scene. He thought I was being sarcastic. Umm, yes, it was sarcasm. Not perving. Being an avenger would be cool. Or a mix of all of them.

ZenGwen Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I am ALL ABOUT Captain America. I wore my Captain America t-shirt to the show. And one of my Captain America pins. And now I'm knitting a Captain America hat - it's going to be blue with the A in the front and the wings on the sides. Just a liiiiiittle bit of a fangirl.The whole thing was amazing, mind. Joss Whedon's writing was excellent as usual. Some fantastic one-liners. I also liked how he avoided the whole classic Hulk "Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me angry" thing.

He thought I was being sarcastic. Umm, yes, it was sarcasm. Not perving. The shirtless scene at her house? Where he's in the blue jeans? Because that may have been my favorite part of the movie...... I also followed it up with a "Babe why can't you look like that?" I'm surprised I didn't have to sleep on the couch.

Guest Snake McClain Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Its sad to me that this thread of skills of avengers has degraded to how hot the guys are. Seriously though I haven't seen the movie yet but am excited to. I've always wanted to be the hulk. I was always skinny and pathetic. Now I want to be big and mean and awesome. I'm getting there. Seriously though. Hulk and iron man combo would be rad. But parkour is awesome. Also archery is sweet. I have a bow and arrow. I should shoot it. Link to comment
pixieopower Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Archery is awesome and more people should do it!! and I don't care if they are going Hawkeye or Katniss as long as they do it well And I'm gonna say the absolute hotness of the superhero guys has afforded me a GREAT way to Nerd-Up my friends!! They wont see a comicbook movie but they will ALL see "that new one with that hot blond guy" LOL It's working for Prometheus too! My BFF didnt want to watch it at first but then tonight she saw Idris Elba in the trailer and was all "isnt that the guy you like from Ghost Rider 2" DOUBLE WIN!! She remembered Ghost Rider 2 AND is now willing to see a "spacey gooey weirdo movie" BWAHAHAHAHHA I will get her to be a fangirl eventually! *** please place your autograph on the line _____ ; so I can sell it on EBAY when you are famous *** Link to comment
cavemom Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I can't wait to see Avengers. We're not going until Sunday since this weekend is so busy until then. I would love to be able to kick ass like Black Widow. Without any wires, though. Brenda Cave-dwelling Druid Current Challenge Link to comment

Knightwatch Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I see an excellent NF post in the future, involving a menu of fitness protocols, with each Avenger hero being, say, a unique combination of three, and a guide on how to mix and match you own to create an all new hero.Steve, get on that.

cline Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Hawkeye and capt America = very ranger like. Yahoo! But iron man is my fav. Same sense of humor and same personality as me. Sheesh, even same house... The early fight seen w black widow is really cool.Everyone: go see it now. Quit your jobs if you must. I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.

BookLoverL Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 You mean there are people who don't want to be an Avenger???Seriously, though, I saw this with my friend last week and it was completely awesome. I always think Hulk is cool because he is intelligent and looks unassuming but then he turns into the Hulk and is the opposite. Of course I also totally want Black Widow ninja fighting skills, Captain America parkour, and, most of all, Improbable Aiming Skils à la Hawkeye, who is very cool, Green Arrow, who is also cool, and Katniss, who is cool if a bit dark. (I finally got hold of the Hunger Games books for the first time from the library on Thursday. I started reading the first one at about half four and finished the third one at midnight.) Also Thor is awesome with his awesome hammer and even if Iron Man is kind of self centred he is so amazing at technology and inspires me to use my brain more. Also, Agent Coulson is awesome.

Oklibrarian Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Not sure what Avenger I want to be (probably Captain America or Black Widow), but I want Thor de-shirted, oiled up, and delivered to my chambers. That said, I'd probably actually settle down with Dr. Banner.

progress126 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 We saw The Avengers tonight and it was excellent! Expensive for a family of 7 but well worth it! My youngest (he's 4) is now sporting Thor's hammer and his Helmet as well! I don't know who I'd want to be. Probably a mixture of all of them. Who wouldn't want Parkour and gymnastic skills, sheer and utter strength, brains and bow & arrow accuracy? And with most movies... stay until the very, very end.

Lolken Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 If i had to pick i would go with Iron Man, but i'm not that smart so Cap it is!!..Personally Batman is my fav.. but Cap is as close as Marvel gets. Link to comment
cmhutch Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Loved the movie! Going to see it again asap. I've always had a thing for villains, especially smart ones, so Loki was always going to be a favorite. Everyone was fantastic, though, and I'm definitely going to use them as inspiration for hero-level workouts Optimist: someone who figures that taking a step backward after taking a step forward is not a disaster, it's more like a cha-cha.Member of CNF: TOS Link to comment
