9. While I will not say that Joss Whedon is my master now—I remain too critical for that, and still haven't forgiven him for several things—he has made my two favorite theatrical releases of this year, Cabin in the Woods and The Avengers.
8. Although if we don't get another female hero in the sequel, I am going to be one cranky kitty. I knew that would be an issue for me going in; I was not wrong.
7. We're down to three girls on this season of America's Next Top Model, and I don't hate any of them. What? How can this be? I think the world has been intrinsically damaged by the inanity of this season's "US v. UK" concept.
6. You know what's awesome? Disneyland, that's what's awesome. You know what's better? I'm going there in two weeks, with Vixy. Are we now planning to hit every Disney park in the world? Yes. Yes, we are. Next up, Disneyland Paris.
5. Eleven days to Blackout! Who's excited? I'm excited!
4. If you somehow get an early copy, please don't tell me. There's nothing I can do about it, and it'll just raise my blood pressure. But feel free to post a review. Reviews are awesome.
3. You know what makes everything better? Poison dart frickens make everything better. Look at their tiny technicolor deadliness!
2. Jean Grey is still dead.
1. I'm seeing The Devil's Carnival tonight! Yay!
Hope you're all having a great Friday, and are looking forward to an even greater weekend.

1. I sorta wanting another female hero, because of my heart breaking conversation with the Niece. We were playing superhero and her older brother, the Nephew decided he was going to be Captain America. Or the Hulk. Or Iron Man. But Niece had problem because she can only be Black Widow and she doesn't like black, she likes PINK! And then who was their beloved auntie going to be? (My big brother had taken them to the movie, don't ask me why, they are 5 and 3 but they sat through it well)
Me: I can be Loki!
Nephew: You're a girl.
Me ponders explaining that Loki can switch genders in comics and deciding that that's a longer discussion. "I can be...Agent Hill." Yeah, that's pathetic. I like Hill and all, but my niece is looking sad.
2. But from a craft point of view, I hope they don't add any new characters, because six heroes is crowded enough and I loved each character so much and if they bring back someone, could it be Kid!Loki! Or Reformed Loki. Because he can serve as their magic, he's a fan favorite and doesn't have to be re-introduced.
Bah. Head says 2. Heart says 1

Also, reformed or not, Loki killed a lot of people. I want him to sit out for a while.

Maybe if they spotlighted a Wasp/She-Hulk/Ms. Marvel solo film, I'd be less worried.
Yeah, but he's a massive cash cow, he's one of the breakout stars. He might be good as their evil consultant. Aka, Breakout Kings: Asguard edition?

"You're the Avengers? Where's Iron Man?"
"Stark said he was busy with personal problems, and we'd have to manage without him..."

"You have an incoming call from Steven Rogers, Avengers priority."
"Jarvis, tell him I'm -oof- busy!"

That way, we can have 6 more slots, we can rotate at will and plenty of gals pals to be added.
