I have been there for Marvel all along the way, saw all of them in the cinema (except Dr Strange, cos I'm so totally over BC) and got more and more excited as they travelled towards Endgame which absolutely blew me away. I cannot get over how much they tied together and how many stories they packed in and what a worthy ending it was.

To my surprise, Cap was my favourite. I didn't know the character, wasn't interested in a rah-rah America character, but was totally delighted in his first movie. And I've loved Phil Coulson since he was in The West Wing (I swear it's the same character).

But to my great disappointment, there was very little fic pairing them, and very little of that was good. Though intriguingly, there's quite a bit of very good fic pairing each of them with Hawkeye. (It's funny how certain pairings just happen to get quality writers, even if there isn't much in the canon.)

I'm afraid I can't give much direction for genfic. Genfic is rarely my thing.

You didn't miss much in Doctor Strange, IMO. It was all right, but certainly not one of the better Marvel movies. I normally love Tilda Swinton, and I found her more grating than BC in that movie ( ... )

Yeah, I ended up seeing Dr Strange on DVD. That was the point where I officially decided I have reached my lifetime limit on movies where an over-privileged white guy gets away with treatng everyone around him like shit because he's super-smart, and when he is faced with the consequences of his own assholeness, we're supposed to be touched by his self-pity (instead of pitying all the people he's treated like shit) and cheer for him to become super-extra over-privileged ( ... )
