Saturday Night Live went fairly light-hearted with their Avengers skit,
I generally enjoyed that SNL sketch, but the way they treated Natasha pissed me off because they just played into the "she's just eye candy" misread that Robot Chicken makes fun of.
Tom's voice sounds really weird in that Robot Chicken segment. Why didn't he just use his normal voice? He has a great narrator voice! Maybe he didn't want to be too recognizable in that sketch?
His relationship with Jessica Chastain being outed was also an interesting take in gender studies.
WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS?! So much pretty... Anyway, that is really interesting how he's presented as the lesser-known one. I guess that since they're both rising stars, one has to be declared more established than the other...because of reasons. Actually, most celeb couples are treated somewhat unequally as though one is piggybacking on the other's fame (even when that's not the case), except in a few cases (Brangelina, Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes, Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig). Maybe they said "War Horse star" because Spielberg is more reputable than a giant Marvel movie. Or something. Even though "Jessica Chastain Dating God of Mischief" would be an awesome headline.
What is the Jeremy Renner rumor? I'm intrigued and slightly terrified.
