Problematic Found Family

a dysfunctional found family with dark pasts and no brain cells who saved the day with the power of friendship can be so personal

You'd be completely right.

and if I said the Thunderbolts are more of a family than the Avengers were

Do you know how fucked up your team has to be for Bucky Barnes to be the most stable member

And this is why I love this movie so much. I didn't expect it to hit so hard and have such needed and important messages.

No but to be serious guys i didnt expect that movie to be that kind of good. I expected great fights. I expected complicated morals. I did not expect that movie to say i know everything seems hopeless but you dont get a choice, you have to try. I did not expect that movie to say when we are up against an impossible, unjust threat the only way through is freely given kindness and forgiveness. I did not expext that movie to say the real way villans win is by preying on those we’ve already decided are hopeless. I did not expect that movie to say we all have to believe we can get better. Please believe me we can all get better. Oh my god.

Marvel said "you want found family? We'll give you found family!" and made Thunderbolts*

I want to see every interaction that they have during fourteen months of what I hope are relatively low stakes missions as they heal trauma together.

Also Bucky is somehow the most well-adjusted and is the babysitter, which just goes to show you how dysfunctional they are and I love it to death.

Thunderbolts* (and Bob)

Thunderbolts* (and Bob) first live.

i want 50 avengers tower fanfics of the thunderbolts on my desk by morning do you hear me

THUNDERBOLTS* SPOILERS BABY!

Bucky getting his arm ripped off again and being thrown across the room, only for Ava to quickly snatch up the arm, as Walker is already pulling Bucky upright, so that Alexei can toss him over his shoulders like a rag-doll, while Yelena runs for the elevator.

— Thunderbolts*

i love how they all came together for Bucky 😭

I keep thinking about the fact that Bucky first met Bob as Sentry!Bob and then got ... taken apart by him and then saw him as The Void but, later in the void-world, still decided that what he'd heard about him from Yelena and the others and what he had come to know about Bob was enough for him to become protective and save Bob from the void because thats exactly who Bucky is at his core!

He will protect the ~tiny guy and he will be the grumpy old uncle and I love that we finally get to see him as such again!
