I'm 132, but 2 was on when I was stuck in the hospital last year and it was much more enjoyable than I had remembered.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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.

Tony Stark at loose in a Home Depot-type store and single-handedly attacking a terrorist compound is wonderful. I love all the fanfics where people say "But he doesn't have his armor!" and the Avengers are all "He's going to meet us already on his way back, and the bad guys are going to be in a floating prison he just invented." And the common thread of "They pissed him off and then put him in a lab? Boy, are they stupid."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm still angry that they ignored everything in IM3 for Ultron.

They ignored EVERYTHING that had happened since Avengers in Ultron. It was so irritating.

True, but the IM parts bothered me the most for some reason.

Exactly! They spend three movies developing the relationship between Tony and Jarvis, including the "Don't leave me, buddy" line, and then Tony replaces Jarvis by sorting through a pile of fancy USB chips?
Not to mention Tony blowing up all the armor then having an army of drones. Grr.
It's like Joss glanced over some basic plot summaries of the solo movies and all he took away was "Oh, Tony doesn't have the arc reactor anymore, that'll make costuming easier."

IM2 has the watch-from-the-hall party scenes. They make sense for the narrative, but they're cringe-inducing.
Whereas IM3 has Tony trying to deal with his PTSD and horrible emotional coping skills. Plus a giant bunny.
(No, I am never going to be over the inclusion of the giant bunny.)

I always skip the party scenes.

IM2 has Natasha and Nick Fury in the diner.
True, but the IM parts bothered me the most for some reason.
Being fonder of Natasha and Steve than of Tony, I was bothered more by how little he could be bothered to even pretend to give a fuck about their character development. But they're all bothersome.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
No one mentioned ANYTHING about the last post-credits scene in Ant-Man HOLY CRAP.
