i got my rock moves

[kaydeefalls]

As promised, an Avengers Ladies vid. This is basically a total polar opposite to my Tony + Steve + Thor vid in every way. I would very much like for this one to count for cottoncandy_bingo as well, but none of my prompts really fit (except "stars", in the rockstar sense, but already filled that with the other vid). Wild card, maybe?

And not gonna lie, looking at the unused footage I clipped, I could've made the entire vid about just Natasha and/or Pepper alone. But what fun would that be? With apologies to Betty Ross, who I hear is a hell of a dame, but I just haven't ever seen any of the Hulk movies.

LYRICS:
I guess I just lost my husband
I don't know where he went
So I'm gonna drink my money
I'm not gonna pay his rent
I got a brand new attitude and
I'm gonna wear it tonight
I wanna get in trouble
I wanna start a fight
na na na na na na na I wanna start a fight
na na na na na na na I wanna start a fight

So, so what
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we’re done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright
I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So, so what
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight

(Uh check my flow, aw)
The waiter just took my table
And gave it to Jessica Simps (shit!)
I guess I'll go sit with drum boy
At least he'll know how to hit
What if this song's on the radio
then somebody's gonna die
I'm gonna get in trouble
My ex will start a fight
na na na na na na na he's gonna start a fight
na na na na na na na we're all gonna get in a fight

So, so what
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we’re done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright
I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So, so what
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight

You weren't there
You never were
You want it all
But that's not fair
I gave you life
I gave my all
You weren't there
You let me fall

So, so what
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we’re done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright
I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So, so what
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight

No, no, no, no
I don't want you tonight
You weren't there
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright
And you're a tool
And your a tool
So, so what
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight

>:( Would it be possible for you to upload the vid elsewhere? My internet is inconsistent and thus I try not to watch streaming. And I'm so excited by the idea of this vid!

[kaydeefalls]

Damn. For some reason it still works for me. Thanks for bringing that to my attention -- I've now uploaded it to RapidShare here. And I'll try reuploading it to MF with a different file name...

[actiaslunaris]

Those ladies rock and you captured that well! I love the bridge section as it shows how they so often stand on the sidelines and then when it goes back to 'So what?' it really sells your concept.

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you! I'm so glad it worked for you.

[niyalune]

HELL YES, this is awesome. Perfect song, with so many clever lyric matches! They've got rock moves indeeed.

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you! They do indeed. :D

[jetpack_monkey]

This is awesome! Thank you!

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you!

[secondsilk]

Awesome!
They are all brilliant. This is brilliant.
I think especially Darcy.

[kaydeefalls]

Always especially Darcy. :D Thank you!

[sundancekid]

Oh, VERY fun! This is great!

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you!

[everbright]

OH COOL! 51st re-blogged this over on tumblr, and it's really great! I love movieverse Hill because she gets such shit characterization in the comics, and DARCY is always awesome.

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[cadenzamuse]

AWESOME. Badass ladies are amazing. (Although, wow, seeing all of them together makes you realize how goddamn white Marvel casts their ladies.)

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you! And, yeah, that was definitely a thing I noticed while clipping. :/

[musesfool]

ZOMG SO AWESOME!

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you! :D

[samjohnsson]

...I love you.

[kaydeefalls]

Hee, thanks! :D

[boomqueen]

OMG this is everything I ever wanted in an all-Avengers-ladies-all-the-time vid. SO GREAT. Thank you!

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed. :D

[rosaw]

Awesome vid! I love it.

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you so much!

[laurashapiro]

This is very welcome indeed. :D Thank you for making it!

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you so much!

[bedlamsbard]

This is delightful! Fuck yeah ladies, seriously.

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you! :D

[catwalksalone]

I really enjoyed this, thank you! As my husband said (who also loved it), it's great to see how women have affected the Marvel Universe and to imagine how much worse things would have been without them.

ALL the rock moves. \o/

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you! And, yeah, the Marvelverse in particular tends to use its ladies well. (Well, more or less.)

[tassosss]

Love this!

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you! :D

[such_heights]

FUCK YES. Oh gosh this makes me so happy. LOOK HOW GREAT THEY ALL ARE. Wonderfully done, I love all the parallels and the flow of movement here. <33333

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed. :D

[starpaint]

So much love!

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you!

[beege]

FunFunFun. Great syncing of scenes to lyrics and props for including Hill - who was really well utilised in the Avengers movie.

The only problem is that every time someone talks about how awesome the women of the marvel films are I start thinking 'But where's the Wasp?'

And on a related note - why didn't Natasha get her own movie? Because seriously, that could have been so fucking awesome. Do it right and you could have had a marvel themed take on the Bourne Identity with a cold war political drama backdrop. Talk about missed opportunities.

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed. And SERIOUSLY, Natasha needs her own damn movie, her backstory is like ten times as interesting as any of the male Avengers'.

[gwynevere1]

What an awesome celebration of Marvel's women! Pink usually isn't my cup of tea, but this vid is so well done that it makes me like the song. I laughed at points, which wasn't something I expected from a vid like this, like when you sync up Darcy after she tasers Thor to look like she's saying the lyrics "So what".

My favorite thing, though, is that you don't just show women being action!girl physically strong but also that they can be strong by being competent in other ways.

P.S. I tried posting this comment at Livejournal, but it kept failing. Sorry if this ends up being a double or triple post.

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad it worked for you. And, yeah, these ladies kick ass not only in actual, physical asskicking, but in so many other ways as well.

[sister_wolf]

OMGYES. YES. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.

Sorry for the lack of concrete commentary, but all I can think is FUCK YEAH, LADIES. :D :D :D

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you! :D

[karenhealey]

THAT FINAL SHOT so excellent. An excellent cherry on an excellent sundae of awesome ladies!

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you so much!

[theoret.livejournal.com]

OMG BRILLIANT

This women are all so fantastic, and this vid is probably the most enjoyable way of being reminded of that. :DDDD

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

[celeste9]

I love this vid! Thank you so much for making it.

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you! :D

[giglet]

Oh brilliant! Thanks so much!

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you!
