all work and no play, etc.

Guys, talk to me about your fandoms? I'm so occupied with school that I find it hard to be remotely coherent when I don't have to be, but I miss fandom talk so much. What have you been reading/watching? What are the tropes and friend/ships you love (or hate)? What makes you squee? What makes you rage? (Also, has anyone else into Kuroko no Basuke managed to solidify shipping preferences through reading fic, or is that just me? >.>)

Heh, should I add the Avengers movie to my to-watch list? It seems like fandom has been ALL OVER it for a while.

Honestly? If you haven't been inclined to watch it so far, I say don't put it on a list of "must watch". It's enjoyable, but hardly very deep. Eye candy, a fun couple of hours, and the fandom is active (which is rather nice from a writing-to-get-readers perspective, although, as per usual, the fandom is not active in any area that I particularly feel driven to read).

Also, I love the characters in their own right, but the movie is very very geared to the white male audience, and it took two viewings before I fell in love with Maria Hill. And Maria is pretty much my sole 'in' to the fandom.

If you happen to have the time and nothing better to do, then yes, I'd say watch it just to get it out of the way. But it's about as cheerfully shallow as a rainpuddle that one can have great fun splashing in, with no deeper meaning beyond what you want to put into it.

Good to know, thanks! I'll keep it in mind for one of those days where I just need brainless entertainment, I think. :)
