A Brief Thought on Reviews

[scribblemyname]

I've read a lot of mixed reviews but the ones from people I trust who share my taste? Those are the ones I'll go with.

tielan had almost identical reactions to my experience of Agents of SHIELD and I adore her work and favorites in MCU. I'll go with her review of Age of Ultron.

I almost feel like I should post a disclaimer, my reaction seems so very contra to other people's reactions...

:/

Half the folks who I bat MCU around with and who share my general tastes are in the general ballpark of your reaction. It's just there's a lot of emotional reactions right now that gunk up a bit of that.

Plus violent anti-shipping.

Yeah, that doesn't help.

I guess that, while many of the choices in the story are Not The Choices I Would Have Made, they work well enough for the purposes of the MCU as a movie franchise (if not for the purposes of the fans of the MCU).

And it helps to have shipped something that has maybe a snowflake's hope in hell: although, if one thinks about it, Maria is the woman with the most canonical interaction with Steve in the MCU after Peggy and Natasha, both of whom are out of the romantic running one way or the other...

Helps a lot.

It helps me immensely to be such a multi-shipper.
