Thunderbolts*

"The past doesn't go away. So you can either live with it forever or do something about it." I literally teared up when the Marvel intro started; it reminded me of all the past Marvel movies I've watched and all the joy they brought me, especially Spider-Man: No Way Home. From the beginning it was perfect: Yelena's character and her inner dialogue and thoughts.Post-Natasha—we got to see how the loneliness affected her and I loved it. Bob's character was so right to me. I usually think more new additions in Marvel is 50/50 but this was just so right. The dynamic between him and Yelena is so heartwarming and the way they understood each other even without speaking. Yelena's dad, aka Alexi, was so funny and just added so much to the group. He finally was there for his daughter and what broke me the most is when he said he didn't think she would want him. They both were struggling in silence, and them finally being together again was so satisfying and made me feel fulfilled. The parallels between Thunderbolts and Everything Everywhere All at Once were EXQUISITE! The way they filmed it and perfectly captured the same essence and idea of the void... Love is too little of a word to describe how I felt at the end. MARVEL IS BACK! STRONGER THAN EVER.
