The Russos Have Committed So Many Sins But I Might Just Forgive Them If They Have Bucky In This Wig For

operation culturing your friends is a go!!!!

hello everyone. i was able to force my friends into watching the ENTIRE lotr trilogy in one sitting, extended edition of course. we ended the night (early morning) with tears in their eyes, the ao3 tab on standby, and someone signing up for tumblr to join the fanbase, and don't forget me yapping about the appendices until i fell asleep. i am Very satisfied

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' 🤷‍♀️

Bob giving up control of his life to the physical embodiment of his depression and then beating himself up over it and the void just becoming more powerful as a result is such a perfect metaphor. like yeah, that's exactly how it is, you can't beat depression with self-loathing, you need support and purpose and the people you love and loves you. they pulled it off beautifully

the day thunderbolts get released for streaming and all you psychological terrorists (tik tok editors) get your hands on it….

consider me sat. sobbing. but sat.

i know rhaenyra targaryen posted this

um sorry for moaning when you stabbed me. it's been a really long time since anyone touched me like that

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.

@mo-mode you. 👏 are. 👏 a. 👏 GENIUS. 👏 NO WONDER WE WERE ALL GETTING THOSE OG WATTPAD/TUMBLR VIBES UGH I LOVE IT~

The scene of them all saving people from the void was so Avengers 2012 coded and it gave me goosebumps I can’t stop thinking about it

Something I love about John is that he’s a true brother in arms who is meant to hold a shield.

He jumps in to defend his team - physically like when he jumps in front of Bucky when Sentry sends the bullets back at him, and verbally when he tells Yelena to lay off Alexei

He doesn’t leave people behind - elevator idiocy aside because that was dumb of him and of all of them. They should’ve gotten higher above the doorway for starters!

He makes sure others go ahead of him, and this is most evident in the Void maze, where the only exception is THE Red Guardian who makes sure John goes ahead of him

I love that military side of him, that defends his team mates and doesn’t leave them behind
