Marvel’s The Avengers was a huge, huge hit. I know people who have never picked up a comic book in their lives who are rabidly obsessed with it. Tumblr is rife with 16 year old girls losing their minds over Tom Hiddleston (Loki). My Twitter stream is constantly full of tweets and retweets… and this is all a couple of weeks after the movie came out. A whole slew of my coworkers are going to see it AGAIN tonight – for some of them, that’s like the fourth or fifth time. I understand the obsession – it’s an awesome movie, one that you don’t even have to be a comic fan to understand and enjoy. There was very little about it I did not like; it was the first time in a long time that I genuinely enjoyed a movie the entire way through.

With this internet wide fixation upon this fantastic movie, weird fanart has exploded all over the “blogosphere”. Considering I spend the majority of my day linking the particularly giggle worthy ones to people I know, I figure I would share a few choice morsels of odd fandom. They mostly revolve around odd Loki/Thor brother love; apparently people are obsessed with “wincest” on a whole new level since they’re “not actually related”. Another trend to watch out for: A fixation with Hawkeye’s buttocks.
