this is exactly what i was thinking during the entirety of thunderbolts!!!
I wanna see Steven Grant and Bob interact 🙏
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.
Do you know how fucked up your team has to be for Bucky Barnes to be the most stable member
catws just wasn't enough... sigh
still waiting for the day we get a Bucky Barnes specifically led movie. seb's been in the MCU since phase one and still hasn't had a solo movie. he deserves it.
the russos have committed so many sins but i might just forgive them if they have bucky in this wig for doomsday
The thing about gen z tiktok slang is that while the worst most aggravating examples have done active damage to society. The good ones are absolute hall of fame linguistic all-timers I find myself struggling to live without
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.
I think the best way to describe thunderbolts is Avengers (2012) but it’s actually found family and not just coworkers
I think the biggest appeal of enemies-to-lovers is that it forces the leads to learn to like each other before they feel attraction to one another. Which is possibly the most demisexual approach I could take to reading romance
