We can laugh about it all we want, but the Marvel fandom circa Avengers was peak fandom before it all went to shit. The sheer scale of fandom that emerged from that single movie was ridiculous, and we’ll never be able to top that ever again. The amount of crack that we all just embraced with fervor was extremely impressive. We ate up those Avengers Tower AUs like they were the most delicious holiday meal, and shipped the most nonsensical things just because we could. Just. Because. We. Could. The biggest Discourse™

was whether or not Loki’s eyes were fucking blue. My dash was full of Captain America and Thor Ass and Titties. Truly a Golden Era of fandom that I look upon fondly while simultaneously cringing.
