I'm trying to write Sif and Maria Hill and stuff and idk if it's going to work, because I'm writing it, but goddamn are they growing on my feels.

I've also gone all linguist on the movie. right now it's only the data-gathering phase, but it has to do with simple forms of character interaction.

ahh yes! I knew I could count on you for intriguing feedback here :D especially the bit about Tony's response to forced interactions. NICE. thank you for reading my blather.

1. Loki and Tony are marinated in sass.

2. re: TLN vs "mewling quim" contrast - yes mte! one Loki-Nat thing that necessitated a side note was "Drakov's daughter". a cursory googling suggests most viewers assumed right away Loki was calling her that, but I immediately parsed it as one of her offenses (i.e., an incident involving whoeverthefuck Drakov's daughter is), as Hiddles delivered it with the same amount of dramatic pause as "São Paulo" and "the hospital fire". a three-item list just flows better (and pleases the OCD gnomes in my head).

3. Tony says Pepper once and then Miss Potts after Coulson shows up. (but then, strictly for his own amusement at Coulson's expense, makes the oh-you-naughty-vixen face in reaction to whatever Pepper is whispering.)

Pepper does not use Tony's name at all in Avengers - and, up to where I left off, it seems nobody has. a ( ... )
