Yay! Since I'm lucky enough to live in Europe right now, I ordered CW from amazon.uk and took delivery on Tuesday (in fact the package was there when I arrived from the airport). It was also "on" on the plane, so Kidlet and I watched it on her screen, sharing my set of noise-cancelling earphones. Being a Marvel nerd is apparently genetic...

Meta? Well. I will tell you my very darkest suspicion. The fact that Tony mentioned Clint's family in the Raft prison -- where all interaction is recorded -- BEFORE he knocked out the audio, will have repercussions in Infinity War. Not good ones, I fear. :-(
We may see Hawkeye turn Ronin yet ...

On the positive side, I LOVELOVELOVE the relationship between Clint and Wanda. Some people characterize it as "Hawkdad". but I rather see it as him having taken Pietro's place (as far as that is possible) as her bro. From him protecting her, to her telling him he's pulling his punches. Like, she's the MCU's Kate.

STOP IT! Don't put more head!cannon/fannon in my head! Especially Wanda as the MCU Kate. Or... anything! :P

she's the MCU's Kate. You got my brain turning over with this one, because at first I was thinking, no, that doesn't work. Because comics!Clint isn't Kate's brother, he's her mentor, and then she kind of looks after him in return when he's being a human disaster. BUT. MCU!Clint could be seen as Wanda's mentor and in a way she's seen more shit go down than him in her life, or more weird shit at least, so she could in return be his guide to that... And with things like telling him he's pulling his punches. I think in a way she could be more blunt - if that's the right word - with him than Natasha. She's more openly honest, I think.

I did like that between AOU and Civil War we had Clint giving Wanda the pep talk in AOU and again/coming to get her in Civil War, but that we also have Natasha mentoring Wanda in Civil War too... Mind you, I have thoughts on how everyone either wants to mentor or parent Wanda in Civil War, heh.

"You hurt Vision's feelings." / "Are you going to send me to my room?"

Mind you, if bad things happen to Clint's family - and that does, unfortunately, seem like an obvious civilain/motivational target (and I'll be over here hoping they establish the characters more before they do something like that to them) - then maybe Clint could still meet an MCU version of Kate later. I think there's space for Young Avengers in the future since Cassie Lang exists. And they could 'reboot' Loki as kid Loki. And if one of Clint's kid's survives any possible incident they could be in the group. Although they're apparently doing Runaways as a tv thing, so Young Avengers might be too much on top, or years and years away, or never a thing. But IN MY HEAD... ;)

Well, I think the Wanda = Kate approach works because of that "you have stuff to teach me and I respect you, but I am SO TOTALLY aware when you screw up and have no compunction about pointing it out" aspect. And yes, they both have a fair bit of trauma in their background, and re-made themselves from the ground up. So, all in all a relationship I really need to explore at some point! :-)

But first, Clint and Pepper and Rocket Raccoon, post CW. Coming to a website near you very, very soon... \O/

I'd like to see more of that, and will definitely look forward to seeing it coming from you :D

Ooo, and more Guardians-Avengers crossover. Don't mind me, i'll just be over here waiting for fic *chin hands*

I ordered CW from amazon.uk and took delivery on Tuesday -- I just wish I had thought of that, but nope, I'm gonna have to wait until my german preorder arrives IN A MONTH. :C

A MONTH? Argh :(

(Obviously Civil War lied to me, because it made the German postal service look really, really efficient ;) )

No no, not the postal service's fault, it's not out here until early October.

...I'm used to there being a gap between UK and USA release dates one way or the other, but such a huge gap between European countries seemed weird :/ Oh hell. ROLL ON OCTOBER.

Yeah it happens sometimes, and I am always terribly, terribly displeased. :/

Cancel the preorder, and get it from .uk in 2 days ... Just a suggestion!

Yeah, see, I can't do that, because my mom borrows my MCU DVDs from me and she needs the option for German audio. XD

I posted a Civil War rec list over on my LJ earlier this week if anyone wants fics. I'd love some more fic recs and some art recs! Haven't seen much Civil War fanart yet (but then I don't venture onto tumblr and I think that's where a lot of the art lives?)
