#listen i read that post about trope subversion and men as care-takers and i Feel about it a whole fucking lot #because!! you can see all the slots in this movie #that would have otherwise been filled with emotional unavailability indifference aggressive posturing and patronizing #and instead they’re filled with care and gentleness and reassurance #food and safety and rest and comforting after nightmares #and explaining difficult things with patience and compassion #and hugs and laughter and gentle grounding touches #and ‘i need to know he’s ok’ and ‘i’m here’ and ‘it’s ok nile’ #and it’s the men!! who do this!! in an action movie!! #and they’re no less men for doing any of this (x)

Someone said in a review that they were positively surprised that there wasn’t any of the traditional ‘let’s all be mean and haze the new kid’ stuff that they have in usual team movies, but that she was immediately accepted and like. I hadn’t even considered that, I can’t imagine what this movie would be like if that was the case. All of these male team members, male characters in an action movie, treat her with kindness and respect from the beginning. Even before they meet her, they care about her well being. They understand what she’s going through in some way and they empathise, because they’re good people who have lived for so long they’re past all macho posturing and do genuinely care. That really is so rare and so beautiful to see. I can’t fucking imagine Nile showing up at the safehouse for all of them to be mean to her. I mean i can imagine a movie that would have done that but it would have been awful lol. and not made any sense for a story, the core message of which is to care about people and help them.
