rip 2012-2014 tumblr, you would have LOVED thunderbolts*

ai generating my suicide note cause I couldn't think of anything

no because it’s really really important to me that in a world where we’re so used to the heroes punching and shooting their way to victory, thunderbolts* went out of its way to show us that the void is still very much a part of bob, and bob is their friend, so they’re going to accept every facet of who he is and give him a soft place to land, even if that means they’ll have to be the ones to pull him back from the darkness every single time. because that’s what friends family will do for each other, no questions asked.

Something about Ava grouchily coming back for the others in the vault saying it’s just bc she needs them for the next stage to Ava sticking around and getting the truck to get the others out when by that point she fully could’ve just saved her own skin to Ava being the first to jump in and help Walker with the slab of concrete to Ava being the first to follow Yelena into the void bc she believes in Yelena and knows she’d have a reason and they’re a team

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.
