Tune In

I'm going to see Endgame this afternoon. Allegedly. I have never been less enthusiastic about seeing a movie. This is entertainment-as-chore. Thanks for the memories, Marvel, but no thanks for the anxious dread and resignation you've spent the last few mainline* movies cultivating.

*Because Black Panther and Captain Marvel were both things of great joy and don't deserve to get lumped in with the rest of this mess.

This retrospective on the Opportunity rover is a really beautiful look at Mars. In totally unrelated news, I need a boat to navigate this lake of tears that has suddenly manifest around me.

The new track from A Tribe Called Red, "NDN Kars," absolutely rocks. I'm listening to it on loop--perfect music to write to. That drumming!

I have seen Endgame:

Huh.

Well, I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to. That is damning with faint praise, but there really was a lot I liked. And, like, only two things that completely pissed me off. And a bunch of stuff I thought was sort of foolish, but not deal-breakingly so. So yay?

On the other hand, I really feel like what I want out of my fandom experience now is to roll straight back to post-WS and play there. I have that fic that's been waiting to be revised for three or four years now. This seems like as good a way as any to stick my head in the sand.

Also also, we will always have Avengers Tower and Thursday movie nights. They will live on forever in our hearts and hard drives.

And that's all I have to say about that, at least until I read all the reaction posts I've been avoiding until now.
