Thunderbolts*

• the voided logo • yelena standing on the building before jumping at the word ‘void’ -later paralleled as she faces the void • the bird’s eye shot of yelena fighting the guards with the shadow indicating her worsening depression • Bucky trying and failing to fit in as a Congressman  • the entire fight scene in the vault, but especially the bit with the knife • Julia Louis Dreyfus as Valentina (I’ve never wanted to punch someone so bad she was PERFECT)  • yelena’s eyeliner • walker saying “I’m fine” after his moment in the void • yelena immediately wanting to help Bob, even if she says the wrong thing. (She’s such a sister) • actually just all of the cinematography tbh • Bob not liking be carried out the vault - whether it’s because he’s weak or because he doesn’t like being touched, he later is literally saved by being held • “…no.” • Lewis Pullman’s abs I see you  • The berries moment because Walker’s still a leader and dad he just lost his way • alexei and yelenas relationship supplying the humour • Walker is the one that remembers the Thunderbolts even if they were literally arguing at the time • and then protecting them all in the limo • buckys entrance woohoo • “does this look mothering” Valentina when I catch you • actually Lewis Pullman as Bob in general • and all of them as their respective characters they were so perfect • bucky’s voice softens once he realises he’s talking to Mel btw • the little nervous finger twitch Lewis does as Bob OMG • the dick euphemisms talking about walker’s long gun • family dynamic where Bucky is the mum • Bob so obviously being so uncertain as sentry (he’s not convinced but only fights them when walker once again calls him Bobby aka the man’s his father called him) • the entire penthouse fight scene and THE MUSIC • STILL Bob doesn’t want to kill them if they’re not a threat to him - inner battle of bob v sentry v void • walker defending alexei to yelena because he also messed up as a dad. (As established in the link they’re very similar)  • “daddy I’m so alone” PACK IT UPPPPP • the entire design of void is HAUNTING •the scene where each individual shines at protecting someone being done by panning rather than just cutting to random places/events • yelena and alexei paralleling nat and steve • alexei when he thinks he’s lost ANOTHER daughter right when they were making up - that he failed another daughter  • the entirety of the void • Bob wearing the same clothes he was as a kid • “I have good days” • him not being able to physically look at yelena • did I mention Lewis as Bob just in general because it’s everything • I originally thought the curtain was a reference to hanging urself but it actually might be to the scene between Nat and yelena in black widow  • hydra being behind Bucky as he enters • walker crying the one to punch bobs dad • “I was on meth!” • from “don’t hurt her” (bobs mum) to “don’t hurt them” (bobs friends)  • voids head tilt thingy is hot idc • Bob beating up void representing self destructive behaviours in the least, maybe even suicide • and it’s Bucky that knows it’s not right because he’s the most healed • “you’re not alone” • walker gets to Bob second btw • and the way Bob CLINGS to his arm goodbye • Bucky and alexei didn’t know Bob before but still went and helped him and that’s why they’re the mum and the dad of the group • walker doesn’t call him Bobby anymore, and tells him he did good -facing his fear was enough • valentinas reaction to Bob indeed actually still being alive is so funny • the contrast between the first shot of yelena and the last wow • Bob stays in the room just to stay grounded/with them even if he’s not doing anything • “I did the dishes though” is so funny but as a depressed person I’m so proud  • not only did marvel make a film about mental health, and not only was it a good one that didn’t kill or immediately ‘fix’ Bob & co, but they released it on mental health awareness day
