This thread is for non-lies like questions, et cetera.

I don't know about you, but I want to hear some lies about what happened in Budapest. :D

Oh, man. Budapest.

It wasn't enough that the whole bath scene was just an endless sea of overweight tourists trying to squish into the ONE pool that wasn't freezing cold or boiling hot, turning their day off into a bit of a washout.

Oh, no. The central market was full of strings of hot peppers and garlic, made to look like one of those ridiculous flower things they toss over your head when you make the mistake of setting foot in Hawaii. They fuck with your sight lines and are worth shit when you're looking for cover. And those stacks of foie gras tins? Also useless, although they did explode nicely when one of those Seb Gorka types took a dive behind one of them. A thousand bumps on the head delivered by little green-and-white tins with pictures of Hungarian poultry on them should have caused the goon some reflection on his life choices.

But then one of those jerks shot into the paprika display, turning the contents of all those little baggies into a cloud of red-hot nerve gas, and it was time to fight dirty. A handful of shots to bring down a few 20-kilo hams on the heads of Orban's stormtroopers, and peace reigned in the aisles. The ham would have made for a nice lunch except for the hair grease, and so Clint just pulled down a salami from one of the stalls, tossed his remaining forinths in the direction of the stunned vendor, and followed Nat out the door into the brisk winter air.

So when she now says, "this is just like Budapest all over again," Clint really, really doesn't see it. He shoots out another alien eyeball and thanks his lucky stars that they're in Manhattan.

That was terrible! (Obviously, I lie!) :D

I really loved that part in Iron Man 2 where Tony and Natasha hooked up at his birthday party.

Who of us doesn't still know the iconic dialogue by heart where Natasha tells Fury that having Tony as her sugar daddy is way better than getting shot at all the time and that they're retiring to Bali?

And when Pepper took on the Iron Man mantle, with that line about just having to "let out the suit a bit in the front after giving it a thorough rinse-through"? Instant classic.

I think Pepper as Iron Woman was my favourite Avenger.
