disclaimer: i'm trying to write down all my reviews after a long time. my memory of things might be shoddy.
THIS IS WHY I CAN'T GIVE UP ON MARVEL OHMYGOD. i am so so so so so glad i got to watch this in theatres. for free. it was such a good experience (i understood what they were saying for once... unlike sinners...). the opening sequence with yelena falling off that building and the hallway fight scene with the elongated shadows UGH. SO GOOD. this is one of marvels's best projects. like after No Way Home and Wakanda Forever, this takes the crown for best post-endgame movie. i love when passion shines through on projects and it really did here. this is the first time since loki s2 that an mcu project has had sm heart.
i only have like, one or two qualms for this movie—one being the new avengers thing which i do not understand, and the second being that taskmaster was killed in 2 mins despite being marketed as being part of the thunderbolts. but i can kinda forgive that coz THIS MOVIE!!!! it gives the same feeling as the first avengers movie, which must've been intentional coz of the parellels it draws in the climatic fight in new york (why tf does every calamity happen in new york. rent should be DOWN by now).
YELENA AND BOB'S CHEMISTRY YESYESYESYESYES. IT WAS SO FHDJJSJD. ATE ATE ATE. idc if they have a romantic arc or not, i'm satisfied with their adorable friendship. also bob was so ripped for no reason lol.
i love how there was such a big power gap between the thunderbolts and sentry coz that scene in the tower where they fight against him? woah for once i felt actual dread and the thought of "how on earth are y'all going to defeat him". but ig the power of friendship and self-love defeats even ur worst demons. i did cry when yelena cried. that was sad.
in conclusion, i'm a lover of this movie. i will not accept any criticisms. goodbye.
