Everyone acting like Sam fans are just humorless bitter meanies is killing me tbh ๐ญ
Ummm sorry, but I think weโve been pretty chill for a good ten years now lol. I mean, they didnโt even let the man be a social worker from Harlem for goodness sakes!! Erased his comic history with Steve and significant chunks of their friendship, largely forgot about his family and friends, sidelined and forgot about Sam himself too. For years! Gave him a show instead of a movie, and hired a guy who clearly hates him to write it. Then years of zero cameos, not even a shoutout or two. Finally gave him a movie, that was really good by the way, but then when they do manage to finally acknowledge him in another project itโs just to insult him. And, whole time that all this is happening, theyโre glazing the hell out of a whole slew of other characters who objectively deserve the hype less than Sam.
Actually, yeah, weโve been gracious af.

#Happy December 10th to those who celebrate ๐ย
Yelena saying: " the government said we are the Avengers" shows me that she is and she'll always be in Valentina's hands.
I saw Thunderbolts on Labor's Day (May 1st) which is a holiday in my home country so it was a free day for me. I should had stayed at home, I should had went to the beach, hell I should had went to do hiking. But no my stupid ass decided to go and watch that movie. So I wasted my free day for nothing; and now I'm at work tired, frustrated and mad ๐๐
This all of this ๐๐พ๐๐พโ๐พ
Spoilers below.
Not really blown away by any of this fight choreography, or the filming of it.
Antonia says literally one line before she's killed. Imagine dragging the actress out for the premiere for this. Extras have more lines
What was it that the senator called Val's plan? Sounded like 'Guardians of Vengence propaganda'. Google translate of the subtitle said Guardians of Revenge. But can't quite hear it clearly.
Bucky wasn't as creepy as I thought he would be with Mel. But still kinda creepy. Where's the tactfulness?
Also... he does sound rather stupid
Hmm, at least Ghost calls Walker out when he says "Actually I was the official captain america"
Ghost says "Before you publically murdered an innocent man on the streets" (he says 'define innocent' ๐ก)
Walker is completely insufferable
Bob says: "I thought you said you were Captain America"
Walker: "why are you laughing"
Bob: "because you're an asshole" I like Bob.
Okay, Bucky does seem a bit creepy with Mel
When they're climbing up the shaft it would've been so easy to add the line "Would be easier if one of us had wings... you know who has wings? REAL Captain America"
Wow, Walker is a really shitty dad and husband. Divorce that man, Olivia
I hate Red Guardian
"Ahh second coming of Captain America! I too was state sponsored super soldier" ๐๐ก
Oh, Olivia did leave him. And took the kid. Good for her
Getting bored honestly
Sebastian seems bored too. His line readings are not giving
Is Sentry's suit CGI? This looks weird
Wow....this fight looks terrible!
Particularly the part where John attacks, then Bucky. Their movements are so slow and stilted, then has this CGI glaze look to it when they're thrown around. Bucky does not seem like a good fighter here
Wow knocking Bucky out with his own arm is just... mean. Plus carrying him out isn't very dignified
Yelena: "No, you know you're a piece of trash, Walker. So does your family." I like Yelena.
Okay, the first appearance of the Void was quite good. See? I can be nice.
The applause was a bit much though ๐
We really don't get to know what was in Bucky's room...or Ava's... or well I don't care about Alexei
THAT is why Bucky punches the chicken suit guy?!
I'm not really feeling this 'defeat the mind rooms with the power of friendship' thing
I'm pretty sure Void says "Robert the hero", but the subtitles said "Robert De Niro" ๐คฃ๐
This whole group hug moment might actually have meant something if we saw what the other's personal demons that they just overcame were
When did Valentina get all the press there? I saw her have the spark of the idea, but the whole city was enveloped in the void? Stupid
And the announcement is still ridiculous. I can't believe Bucky just stood there and said nothing. Should've taken a mic and done a Kanye "I'm gonna let you finish, but Sam Wilson ie Captain America, has the greatest Avengers team of ALL TIME"
And even if he didn't, in what world would Bucky not say "No, we're not the Avengers. Valentina is a crook and here's the evidence. She's trying to save her own ass. Arrest her."
Yelena saying "We own you now" How does that help? She's not going to cooperate. You can't ever trust her. She'll always have her own motives and will be trying to get rid of them.
Final thoughts
That's it? There really wasn't that much action and the fight scenes that were there were very...inert. They lacked visual interest, interesting choreography, seemed glazed in CGI despite all the promo saying how gritty and real this film was supposed to be
Overall it just seems like a very pointless movie. With pointless characters.
Yelena and Ava would maybe be nice additions to Sam's team. John and Alexei can gtfo
Bucky's sleeping on the couch until further notice.
If they were going to have Bucky damage, if not outright, destroy his best friendship with Sam over these misfits, then the film really needed to SHOW why Bucky felt invested in helping them redeem their past crimes. Currently he feels like he has no motivation or real connection to them. I literally just finished watching and I can't remember if he even exchanged dialogue with Yelena or Ava outside of group responses.
Anyway. That's it.
P.S. I stand by a prior post of mine, where I said this could've been a Captain America movie. Sam could've helped Bob just fine.
