From:

>> Very nice parade of Ways Things Have Changed So Far.<<

Yay! There are more opportunities for that as the series progresses, and Memorial Day has a ton of it.

>> Let's see, first we have Bruce annoyed (later turns out he's on edge and nervous/upset, not just annoyed), but no Hulk. Then Bruce freaks out, and still no Hulk!<<

Hulk has learned a lot about how, in this team, he can usually just sit back and let other folks handle the hassles. He isn't perfect at distinguishing threats yet, but he's getting a lot better.

>> Bucky understands what's going on and acts accordingly, while staying calm. Then Natasha offers to spend time with Bruce. Very efficient way of recapping lots of character development; none of that could have happened at the beginning of the series.<<

:D That's good to hear.

>> I feel like some of the writing here is kind of clunky, but eh. <<

Sorry about that.

>> Also, really liked the nuance in the Memorial Day discussion-- Dum Dum would have liked the fireworks, but Steve really doesn't.<<

Different people have different feelings. Steve is quiet in some ways, especially after the ice. Dum Dum always liked to blow shit up.

>> It's one of those things that you could do the tumblr SJ thing with and appoint One Correct Opinion Held By All Real Members Of The Affected Group, which is generally an oversimplification. <<

>_< It bugs me when people do that.

>>I like how you let Steve make his case, and persuasively, without pretending it's The One True Way All Soldiers Feel About This Issue No Exceptions Ever.<<

There is more on this at the parade later, with regard to balloons.
