- Alexandria, better known as Alex or Alexa, is a strange Christian-fangirl-YA-writer medley tucked away in an undisclosed location in Virginia. She loves creating worlds out of keystrokes, discovering adorable ships (platonic or romantic), and becoming besties with clever characters who wow her with love and brilliance. When only half spellbound by her many worlds of words, she can be found working amongst the stacks in her local library.

-skips Age of Ultron part- No spoilers for me! Haha.
ReplyDeleteOh, Anakin. What a beautiful mess you are. I have such a major hatred for traitors (i.e., people who keep secrets from those they call their friends only to turn around and stab them in the back and try to kill them, then pretty much throw your favorite character out of a plane... but who's being specific?), but somehow I still love Anakin. Maybe I'm a twisted soul, but it's true. Yes, he turned to the Dark Side, betrayed his friends, and broke his wife's heart. Yes, he murdered a bunch of innocent little Padawans. Yes, he would have killed Obi-Wan had he not been hacked to pieces. And yes, all that was very wrong and very NOT COOL. But... he's still amazing. Now excuse me while I go find an empty corner of my house and cry for a few hours.
Also, I'm not gonna lie, that scene where Padme tells him she's pregnant has always just melted me. They're SOO perfect.
YES. I often can't stand traitors either, but there's just something about Anakin that made him so lovely and endearing, in spite of all the horrible things he did later. *sniffles* From across the internet, I will join you in weeping.
DeleteYES. SO MUCH YES. ALL THEIR SCENES IN REVENGE OF THE SITH /BROKE/ ME. They are beyond perfect. There is not even a word for their couple-y wonderfulness! <3
I really enjoyed reading about the characters you chose! The characters are definitely one of my favorite parts of the story as well. I knew most of them, and I think that Fedora sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I nominated you for the Liebster Award! Here is the link if you want to check it out:

No pressure to do it if you don't have time; it's just for fun. :)

Yay, I'm so happy you liked them! While they might not be my absolute favorites, I do adore the babies! And thanks, I'm glad you like her!! :D
DeleteThank you! I will totally check that out! :)
Ahhh, I loved Pietro. I wish there would be more of him in the future movies, but alas... hey, Marvel, maybe you could do a reboot of his character, and just his character someday? Haha. Also, regarding characters... it really depends on how fleshed-out they are. They are times that a character is meant to be likeable and I hate them but I love them at the same time because of the depth and complexity they bring to a story. Sometimes a character is meant to be likeable but they do something or have a quirk that completely turns me off. It's really hard to say O.O
ReplyDeleteFaye at The Social Potato
YES. PIETRO WAS BAE. And that would be totally cool!
Delete*nods* I agree. It's difficult to pinpoint exactly what will make me adore a character because, although I said strength and love, those qualities do come in various forms, and sometimes I end up seeing them in a character that I expected to hate. So, yeah. It is rather difficult to say.
Shaylinn! I lover her so much. She really is incredibly strong, and probably my favorite in the series.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree!! I also loved Zane, but he was the only one who could compete, and Shaylinn was definitely my favorite girl. She was just awesome.
DeleteI have to agree with you on Pietro and Anakin, because they're super fun characters and good in the right places and evil in the wrong ones and that makes them great! I didn't really like Shaylinn a ton, but she was better than Jemma (*shakes head in disgust*). To be honest, the only female character I could really enjoy was Luella Flynn, so, I'm afraid we'll just have to agree to disagree. :)
ReplyDeleteYES. "Good in the right places and evil in the wrong ones." That is exactly why they are fascinating, wonderful characters. Or a huge part of it anyway.
DeleteYeah, I wasn't a huge fan of Jemma either, but I didn't love Luella. IDK, she kinda reminded me of Caesar from The Hunger Games (though significantly less evil), so I never got past a mild tolerance for her character.
But like you said, we can agree to disagree ;)
THAT SOKOVIAN ACCENT. Sorry. I told myself I wasn't going to surf blogs for too long or comment for now but I had to say that. (I <3 Pietro)
ReplyDeleteHehe, don't apologize! I'm always glad to get comments!
DeleteAnd YES!!! THAT ACCENT IS LITERALLY THE BEST! :D <3 <3
LOL, I love him too!!!!!!!!
