Sam Rockwell as Tony Stark: cursed

My brain, combining the knowledge that Rockwell can play an appealing romantic lead with my love of frostiron:

Sam Rockwell!Tony Stark/Hiddleston!Loki: very cursed but appealing, like fairy food

Me, after I remember that comic!Justin Hammer was British, I once had the idea of a Hiddleston!Hammer fancast, and I've read Tony Stark/Justin Hammer fic that I actually enjoyed:

Sam Rockwell!Tony Stark/Hiddleston!Justin Hammer: extremely cursed, dangerously pretty

Me remembering the Aldis Hodge as Tony Stark fancast post:

Aldis Hodge!Tony Stark/Hiddleston!Justin Hammer: still cursed but like… irresistibly pretty

And the logical but somehow formerly unreached conclusion:

I’m reeling bc I never did read it but literally every nerd friend I had in Spain growing up did, it never occurred to me that it wasn’t an international thing lol

if you ever want to elaborate I'll be happy bc tbh the casting put me off so hard I can only see British guy fieri and doctor who cosplay and I'm a bitter old man who craves for joyfulness

The flippant answer to that is that they get what the fandom wants, which they showed by taking a book that’s, like, at most 20% about Crowley and Aziraphale, and putting them front-and-fucking-centre in the trailer (and possible the series?). Accompanied by Freddie Mercury’s You’re my best friend in the background. I mean, that alone feels like the trailer sprouted forth straight from the collective fandom hive mind. They’re giving the fans of the book exactly what they want, in that respect.

But I actually was talking about the bits they added, that aren’t in the book. They seem to have fleshed out a lot of Crowley and Aziraphale’s background, which I really approve of. It’s a sign that they think their relationship is important and they want to spend time developing it, which is nice. That, and the bits that are in the book are lovingly shown as well (the plants! nuns! queen!), which, again, shows love for the source material. 

I’m personally still a bit squinty about Aziraphale, though. For me, it was kinda the only false note in an otherwise great trailer - he was a bit too fussy, too goody-goody. I really hope they do get the thing where it’s actually Aziraphale who’s the bastard and Crowley who’s the Anxious Mess - but it’s only like a few seconds of footage so a lot can happen there.

fuck. I'm so sorry D:

thanks my dude.
