love the idea/headcanon/concept that bucky is sam’s emergency contact and vice versa. cause on one hand bucky can be like “yes my emergency contact is captain america. he flies. he’s actually a really good guy.” and then sam has to be like “my emergency contact killed hundreds of people and tried to kill me but he’s better now”
something that makes me scream is that steve didn’t know bucky had gotten his orders and was leaving the next day. he’d gone to the film, saved bucky a spot (if you notice there’s an empty spot next to him in the theater), and gotten in a fight. bucky knew to find him in the alleyway behind the theater, bc he was supposed to meet him there. steve is taken aback when he sees bucky’s uniform. when he hears he’s been assigned to the 107th (the same infantry steve’s father died serving for). this isn’t jealousy -- this is fear. bc bucky is really leaving for the warfront, and steve is stuck in nyc. all bucky wanted for his last night was steve by his side, but the only thing steve wanted was to find a way to go with him.

When Bob said something like “the highs are so high but when it’s low……” I had tears in my eyes. One sentence, that I myself have said so many times but hearing it caught me so off-guard.
If anyone finds the movie’s ending stupid, all I can say is this: sometimes you just need enough people to care. You just need someone to force their presence in your life. You need to hear, over and over again, that you are enough - not because you’re not listening the first time someone says it, but because your own voices are much louder and much more recurrent. It’s someone bringing you back to a consciousness that helps you realise you’re not as worthless as you actually feel… as useless. And sometimes, having that helps so much that it will get me through the day without a black silence echoing all around me. And that’s what Thunderbolts does. That’s why it actually matters beyond being in the MCU and being a movie.

I think the best way to describe thunderbolts is Avengers (2012) but it’s actually found family and not just coworkers
My only complaint about Thunderbolts* is that Bucky should have had more screen time
bodies should have crash logs. why the fuck did that just happen.
the russos have committed so many sins but i might just forgive them if they have bucky in this wig for doomsday
