vr_trakowskiSpoilers within!
Until about a third of the way in, I thought this was going to be a very sad film. But then things picked up, even if it could be subtitled "The Daddy Issues Version".
I laughed and laughed, though. Seeing it with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cincoflex made it ten times the fun since we could whoop and snicker to each other in real-time. It's a hoot and a great story, and it won my heart the moment Tony started playing around with the virtual display. I want one.
It was wonderful to see Tony making all the emotional acknowledgments that he so steadfastly was refusing to make in the first film, and I seriously hope Pepper isn't resigning, because frankly she'll make a better CEO than Tony ever was. I loved Happy having a bigger role and I am firmly in the Happy/Natasha shipping camp. It's just OBVIOUS.
And, inured to disappointment in so many fandoms, I was firmly not expecting the kiss. Askcincoflex what noise I made when it happened. That was a gift I didn't think we'd get until at least the third film, if then.
The best part, though, was waiting for the theater to open with my best buddy, and cheerfully dissecting the film afterwards over crepes. What is fandom, after all, but like minds and shared squeeing? I've said it before, but it bears repeating; I meet the best people through fandom.
