Lol! Sorry, yes, Afra. Damia calls him A'fa when she's little and it stuck in my head. I... did not even realize I wrote it that way, actually? Oh, fingers.
I love that whole series!! Actually, The Rowan is my least favorite - probably because it's the most heavily scifi of the series. I don't dislike scifi at all, but I prefer more character driven (and yeah, let's be real, also romance) stories. Maybe I will re-read them. Hm.
Okay, so, here's the thing. I hate sanctimonious self-righteous characters. Which honestly means I should hate Stark but I don't because he's an asshole about himself and he's not hypocritical about it. Also he's a snarky bastard. Captain America is about the best of people and I can't do that. Ever. I don't believe people are innately good. Also, I suspect a lot of my dislike is comic-Captain America related because Evans does a great job at humanizing him. I want to like him? I just really can't. I dislike Superman too which gets me in hot water with my family. Give me broken assholes all the way. Perfect super-human, always see the bright side people just annoy me.
That said, Winter Soldier is probably my favorite of all the Marvel movies. It's the most complete, tightest of all of them and the performances are banging.
