re: Avengers - super-intelligent genius characters with moral ambiguity

haha, that's just screams Sherlock to me. I agree.

Loki was pretty much my favorite character from Thor. Thor himself was too bro-y and his arrogance left a lot to be desired but Loki. Loki was the black sheep and I've always held a special place in my heart for those kinds of characters.

Long love the nerds!

re: Inception - Yeah, in that once scene where Arthur asks for "specificity" that fandom has always seen as Arthur and Eames flirting for some reason? I've always seen as Eames being genuinely irritated with Arthur but having enough sense not to start a shitfit (which doesn't seem his style, anyway) and attempting to laugh it off instead. Every time I watch, I laugh because he looks so annoyed. Oh Eames. You should totally write that fanon vs canon meta. I would read the hell out of that.

re: Naruto - I have not actually read any Naruto since he stopped training with Killerbee and went off to "fight" with everyone else. I will probably do so eventually because I suck at keeping up with the weekly updates and prefer catching up in batches. When I do, I'll let you know.

re: Deadpool -

(and is the reason that, since I have not read many Marvel comics yet in general, I can never really bring myself to like Captain America)

Do you mean, you don't like Cap because he's not as complex? Or...? (I apologize, I am a bit medicated atm and kind of confused as to what you meant? lol)

but, in the future, if Wade begins to feel accepted for doing good doing good could become a habit and he could eventually begin to do it simply for the sake of good. It could take a while, but maybe...?

Oh absolutely. You actually see more of that kind of action in the Uncanny X-Force series (there's more plot/character development there than there is in the main DP series). Case in point, this bit from Uncanny X-Force #5 that I posted a couple months ago on tumblr. That whole bit at the end throws me every time. And how he doesn't even try to disprove Logan's claims and defend himself? He still thinks of himself as a no-good merc with a mouth but he's already changing. Deadpool's never going to be a "good guy" like Captain America and Spider-man are. He's too fond of the mayhem and he's not that selfless but he does manage to shine, like you said, every now and then and that makes it worth it.

And that's just one instance. There are a few others, my particular fav being from the Cable & Deadpool issue that takes place during Marvel's Civil War arc. It blew me the hell away. It's amazing. When you read it, you will find yourself with so many feelings they'll start pouring out of every orifice. Augh, it's so good but I won't spoil it for you. :3

You should do the meme, it will be fun! And some people are pretty entrenched in LJ and don't seem to want to leave. Cannot be helped, sadly. I just keep crossposting and trying to find new DW specific friends. It's a process. lol
