people are mad that black widow got scared when confronting the hulk

oh man shut up

it’s the fucking hulk

everyone is afraid of the hulk fucking everyone

did you see how freaked out those military guys in the incredible hulk got?

even she admits…

^THIS!^ Heck, even Bruce was scared of The Hulk! :)

Seriously?! How would you react to the human embodiment of pure RAGE?!

Honestly, I would act like Black Widow did. Just. Freaked. Out. When she was scared of him changing, and reacting to him getting angry in the lab, it made her characterization look all the more human. That’s it. It didn’t make her look “weak”, at all.

Ugh. I knew when I saw it that people would complain. Let’s stick all of them in a room with the Incredible goddamn Hulk, and see how well they hold up.

Widow is a spy. Her strengths are trickery and deception. Hulk beats up gods. Natasha kicks outrageous amounts of ass, but the Hulk is the Strongest There Is, period. He is so far above her weight class it’s not even funny, and she knows it.

A breakdown in the face of that, is not just understandable, it’s practically mandatory.

Defrosting the 'Fridge: Hulk comics? -

Dear people of tumblr,

Like so many of you out there I loved The Avengers and loved Bruce Banner/Hulk in it particularly. However, I’ve never really been interested in Hulk before but now I’d really like to read some awesome Hulk comics. I didn’t like the way…

I strongly recommend Greg Pak’s run.

The Avengers was FRAKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy FRAKING SHIT!!! I’ve never had a FANGASM LIKE THAT IN A LONG FRAKING TIME!!!!! Just. FRAKING. INCREDIBLE!!!! Oh. My. God.

I know, right? I just got back from the theater. It was glorious.

Everyone likes Rita Repulsa or Nicki Minaj, but my favorite Power Rangers villain was always Divatox.

Viva la diva!

I love three: Rita, Divatox, & Andromeda. :3
All of the Mighty Morphin-to-In Space baddies. Oh, the nostalgia…

I scream, you scream

I just found out today that Yarnell’s ice cream is back on the shelves after a long absence. If you don’t live in Arkansas you probably will not care about that.

But

It’s just so good.

I’ve been re-reading Jen Van Meter’s JSA Classified arc, “Honor Among Thieves.” I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed this take on the Injustice Society.
The IS are different from the Secret Six. While I adore the dysfunctional dynamic that Gail Simone brought to her band of misfits, there’s something really refreshing about a supervillain team that isn’t  awash in treachery and discord.
