Still working my way through “The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.” It’s awesome, but I can’t help but feel like it’s a darned good thing Loki wants a convoluted victory. Because it would be not at all hard to take down this team.

First, there’s Jan — her big thing is, “Your powers are *so* cool! Why are you committing crimes when you could be doing way more fun things? Hey, have you considered joining the Avengers?”

And of course, Hank — “Can we talk about this? I think you’re a good person — in fact, you could totally join our team, wouldn’t that be great?”

Tony — “I like people who like me!”

Thor — “I like *all* Midgardians!”

Captain “everyone deserves a second chance” America really rounds out the team. The other three (current) members (as of ep 14, that would be Hulk, T’Challa, and Hawkeye) are all “reformed” villains — people they fought at one point, but find easier to just call “allies who sometimes help us and sometimes aren’t answering their phones.”

Really, all a determined villain would have to do is pretend to be having doubts about villain-hood. Bam, invitation to the Avengers mansion and instant access to the team!

PS: I get that it’s an animated cartoon, and it’s not like we’d recognize Clint if he wasn’t in uniform. But I’m having trouble getting over the fact that he *never* changes out of his Hawkeye gear, even when he was hiding and on the run!

squeezed in an advent activity under the wire…

This one is maybe only nominally advent-y, but probably has as much relevance as, say, drinking a peppermint mocha (day 4). It’s on the list, though!

#19: Christmas icons.

I really wanted a Christmas giraffe, but settled for this adorable fuzzball instead.

I also wanted a Christmas sheep (IDEK, I was on an animals theme?). But I wound up with this Kashmir mountain goat, which is arguably cooler.

…And then, realizing that neither of those actually had any Christmas connection, I found this! (My thanks to whoever uploaded this; I found it wandering around google images in search of a good home.)

Happy advent!
