the first time i cried in thunderbolts was when they all worked together to save that woman from the chunk of a building
superhero movies are about people who have the ability to help people and choose to do so
that isn’t all there is but i think the mcu has gotten so focused in the weeds of the multiverse and inner group politics and whatever that they forgot that the reason we watch superhero movies is because we want to watch good guys fight bad guys, but more importantly, we want to watch them help people because that’s why they fight the bad guys in the first place
What got me about this scene is that these are people who have been written off, told that they're bad and evil and not capable of heroism.
.... and yet the *moment* the people around them were in trouble they went to help them. They needed no prompting. They didn't need to be forced or persuaded to help. They just did it. Even though there was nothing in it for them, they didn't get any recogition.
That's the purest form of heroism, isn't it?
