Kalshane, I was watching some of the videos from that production, and the actor who played the drunk student had apparently made the choice that his interpretation for every other line was going to be "Shut up, Marius." I agreed and loved him immediately.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Hah! That's awesome.
I'm generally Disney-pop ambivalent (I don't hate on general principle, I just avoid for the sake of sanity) and so when I first started watching I was thinking "Wow, Marius really can't act. But he looks kind of familiar." then I glanced down at the comments and saw his name and understood the reason for both observations.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We watched Thor again tonight, and were talking about how Loki's plans start out fine but then fail. Tim said "Loki is basically Mojo Jojo." Which is kinda true.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Tim said "Loki is basically Mojo Jojo."
Heh. That would make such a good tumblr.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm reading some people dissing Coulson. Calling him a bit player, and responding to Gregg's interview quotes as if he were getting too big for his britches.
I thought there was a clear, canonical nudge-nudge-wink-wink that establishes him as badass, up to and including this poster, the post-credit tags, and at least one of the shorts--the Funny Thing Happened one...
Now I'm wondering if I'm responding to him in a parallel way to how I see people responding to Loki, but I swear it's in the text! Son of Coul rocks.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm amused by Nick Fury in Gollum stance behind him.

Not particularly keen on Coulson (or particularly against him either), but I thought his increased prominence at the start of this movie was like a metaphorical noose being lowered around his neck.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I've enjoyed him in the Marvel movies, but I was a bit surprised at how incredibly popular he was in fandom. I mean, before Avengers, he didn't really DO much (I hadn't seen those shorts, though, and the "Funny Thing Happened..." one is pretty great and does indeed establish him as pretty badass). He showed up and delivered exposition. Sure, he delivered it well, but still. People really got into him. I don't think he deserves disses, though!

I love that the #1 hit when you google Coulson weapon is exactly the one I'm usually looking for: [link]
Now, obviously, fandom has a way of investing in characters the writers haven't spent much time on (I'm calling it the Figwit Reaction for the moment, but I'm open to discussion), but I felt that they played him nice and subtle, with a understated air of authority especially up against Iron Man and his brashness.
And I think the two shorts he got (I haven't seen the one on the Thor disc) was either a response to fan reaction, or the creators noticing for themselves how suave and debonair he is.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I love that comic--especially Loki and the kitten.
