And wait, how did Nat know about Tony's parents?

She found out about it at the same time that Steve did, when Mainframe!Zola showed them.

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

Right. Well. It's not much of a stretch, for an assassin to keep secrets. "Don't tell" is probably her default setting.

I think Natasha not telling Tony is a thing he would expect--I think that Steve not telling him came, to him, out of left field: that this friend of his Dad's, this friend of his, would keep that from him, is a far bigger gut punch than the co-worker/friend/spy who you already expect to never be telling you something. Seeing it directly after Ultron, I was actually really happy with how they wrote Natasha, even if her role can always be larger in my mind. I like that, unlike Ultron, they really did remember that Steve and Natasha are friends.

In somewhat related topics: who would like to discuss with me the Rolling Stone pictures of CEvans. Because I kinda want to talk about those almost as much as I want to talk about the movie. Because holy fuckballs.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Haven't seen the movie yet, not sure when I'll be able to squeeze it in.

Have seen the photo in question, however, the most intelligent comment I can manage is..."Have you seen his arms? Those are good arms to have." And then I'm reduced to, "Sooo preeeetty," and incoherent gleebling. Sorry I can't be more help, P.M.

Did you see both of them?

I feel for the purposes of this discussion, it's very important to have seen both the currently available ones. Should further installments come into our world, we will obviously add them to said discussion, but for the moment: DAMN.

Especially that top one.

(I REALLY DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE MOVIE! I JUST AM... REALLY DISTRACTED BY THE DAMN PHOTOS.)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

You know what the top one says to me? That look on his face? For real, now: GIANT DORK.

But, you know, I dig that.

Yeah. It's, umm. It's a good look for him. I'm saying.

::facepalm::

Like, I saw the other picture Wednesday night, and was pretty much, "WOW! DAMN!"

And then I saw the top one and my brain short-circuited and it won't come back online and that's my own fault because I KEEP LOOKING AT IT.

I AM SAYING IT IS GOOD I DIDN'T SEE THE TOP ONE UNTIL AFTER I SAW CIVIL WAR.
