Grumpy anon is grumpy

[(Anonymous)]

I was reading an Avengers fanfic that was actually pretty cute, it was Clint/Coulson, which I don't read that often, but the plot description was adorable, so I started reading.

Everything was good until the inevitable Coulson Lives! reveal.

In the fic, Coulson Lives because Loki's spear did ~magic~ to Coulson, and he's magicked, and in bed.

Clint and the others find out, of course, and when Fury explains that he was waiting for Thor to get back, as Thor was the only person who knew about that kind of magic, and they had the best people working o it, Clint butted in with "no you don't, or else you'd have Stark and Banner working on it too!"

and I just

what

Neither Tony nor Bruce deals with magic. There is no paper (in the MCU) on Loki's magic that Fury can shove at Tony and say "read this, we've got a situation". Neither Tony nor Bruce worked on the tesseract.

Are you picking up what I'm putting down?

And yet the author wanted as to believe that Clint was totally in the right, and Fury should have contacted Bruce and Tony immediatly even though neither of them "do" magic, instead of the logical thing (IMO); waiting for their only known Asgardian to return, and hope that he has some info/can get some info instead of letting Loki-Whammied!Coulson around the Avengers whilst still Loki!Whammied.

"I don't like how someone else chooses to play around with the characters in my fandom."

That's why I posted this anon and on fandomsecrets rather then on the fic itself. :P

Ha, I've read that story. Definitely not one of the greatest stories out there, but I think the "Tony and Bruce are the smartest in all things ever!" bit is a result of people being only in the movie fandoms.

Not that this is a bad thing. The characters just seem to have more limitations in the longer running canon than in the movie canon.

I suppose. IDK, it just ruined my suspension of disbelief, and took me right out of the story.

I mean, at least in The Avengers, Tony admits to reading the material before becoming an expert. If they had handwaved that- that there was material (...somehow) for Tony to read, I would have been okay with it. Ah well.

Oh man, I get this. Those little things in fic that make you go "no." Like, I have trouble reading fics featuring Dave Strider from Homestuck discussing or referencing his home. He's from Houston and I'm from that area, so I'm overly critical of everything. I was reading a fic yesterday where it mentions that Dave is uncomfortable in places with lots of Starbucks and I was like "NO! HOUSTON IS NOTORIOUS FOR HAVING A LOT OF STARBUCKS." Lewis Black has a famous rant about Starbucks being across the street from each other in Houston.

Yep. It wasn't a big thing, just a little thing. I'm grumpy, not angry.

...And that sounds like a completely legitimate thing to get upset about. I mean, you could handwave it as being an ~alternate ~universe ~Houston, by why should you have to?
