Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

After seeing Civil War a second time, and a conversation the other day, a couple of things:

- If we (in general) had gotten more excited about Wasp at the end of Ant-Man, do you think we could have gotten a little better gender ratio into this one?

- What's up with Vision's look? It's... a lot. I don't think his cape even goes with the rest of him!

- And I realize I'm so defensive about Aunt May not being surprisingly hot because Tony goes on and on about it.

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.

- What's up with Vision's look? It's... a lot. I don't think his cape even goes with the rest of him!

Well, his comic book look is pretty terrible. I imagine they were trying to modernize him while still calling back the comic imagery. I agree his cape looks a little weird, though I don't think he'd look "right" without it, either.

One thing I noticed watching the movie, which never really clicked with me before, until I saw it mentioned somewhere, about how spider-like Natasha's fighting style is. She's constantly jumping and moving around on her opponent's bodies. (And apparently Bridget Regan, the actress who played Dottie, went back and watched how Natasha fights in the movies and tried to replicate some of that in Agent Carter since they're both from the same program, though obviously decades apart.)

Now I'm suddenly wishing that if Agent Carter doesn't get resurrected anywhere, Dottie somehow gets frozen or time-warped or whatever into the modern MCU.

Oh, that would be lovely! Dottie's such a fun character.

That would be awesome.

I just feel like the pieces don't go with each other.

I figured it was an indication of Vision trying to figure out how to exist in the human world and not doing that good a job.

I like that explanation!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I like that explanation too. The sweater vest was hilarious.

Did anyone else notice Tony Stark having panic attack/heart attack symptoms? That man needs help.

The man has no one backing him up anymore. I've seen so many people dismissing Tony's problems, one said "It's not like somebody with his money needs any help." I guess rich white guys aren't allowed to have PTSD from torture, betrayal, and flying nukes into outer space and mostly dying.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Or at least a Dottie centered short.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Did anyone else notice Tony Stark having panic attack/heart attack symptoms?

I figured the "pain in my left arm" comment was a joke (like, he wasn't actually having an MI at that moment), but the stress was real.

Or it's possible that only my brother and I find heart attack-related jokes funny. We are jaded.
