In my heart of hearts I know that every single thunderbolt's relationship with John Walker is 'Yeah, he's a bitchass... unfortunately he happens to be our bitchass so we kinda have to ride for him, prepare to die i guess' π€·ββοΈ
when alexei saved that little girl because he couldn't save his anymore.
no but i am genuinely impressed that they made me root for john walker without retconning anything about his personality or his actions. he's a pro-military patriot dipshit deadbeat dad who thinks every action he takes is the correct one without fail because he has mentally classified himself as The Good Guy and everybody else as The Bad Guy. but they put him in this ragtag antihero team of controversial suicidals and he just Fits. like yeah he fits in there. with the other murderers and mercenaries and losers, who only know how to kill, and despise everything about themselves. and that, more than anything else about the movie, is truthful to the nature of the thunderbolts as a team. their point is that they kind of suck ass, most of them disagree wildly on politics and philosophy, all of them have killed innocents, and they're not above the pettiest, most assholeish behavior ever put to either screen or paper. that's the core of the thunderbolts, and that's what they nailed. without actually including any of the comic book thunderbolts.
(crawls on all fours with blood drenched on me) I have to do arts and crafts
I think the best way to describe thunderbolts is Avengers (2012) but itβs actually found family and not just coworkers
it's gonna take terminator to happen for these people to learn their lesson
im still losing it over the "how did high schoolers write 600 word essays before chatgpt" post. 600 words. that is nothing. that is so few words what do you mean you can't write 600 words. 600 words. this post right here is 45 words.
this is exactly what i was thinking during the entirety of thunderbolts!!!
I wanna see Steven Grant and Bob interact π
i watched thunderbolts yesterday night and i am not the same person i was before i sat down in that theater. the mental health representation, the anti heroes banding together, the start of their redemption arcs, yelena's monologue, john walker being (surprisingly and unfortunately) funny, bob's entire character in general, james buchanan barnes (obviously), THE HUG??? someone needs to sedate me before i do something insane like trying to shift into this universe to be friends with everyone as if it's still 2020.
