I did not make this quiz, but someone sent this in the group chat and I thought it might be fun to share!

more thunderbolts* tweets + some thunderbolts* gc texts !!

[incorrectssr]

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

I loved Thunderbolts*, that moment when you have to defeat god with a knife and a gun

haven’t uttered these words in years but steve rogers n bucky barnes, whether you like it or not, were written romantically. “til the end of the line” literally means til death do us part (a marriage vow)

Howard: Hm, this plan seems unnecessarily complicated.

Jarvis: You once said that about oranges.

Howard: They don’t make sense! Apples you eat their clothes; oranges you have to undress!

My sweet sibling in Peggy… you were given hands so that they might rectify the sins of screenwriters on the paper they so besmirched.

AGENT CARTER 2.05 “The Atomic Job”

[incorrectssr]

Something interesting about Vernon interrogating Dottie- toward the end, he says: “you actually believe you’ve got a friend in Peggy Carter, a woman who would see you hanged if she could arrange it. It’s pathetic; I almost feel sorry for you.”

And Dottie very obviously does not like that, much more than anything else he tried to dig at her with. She’s clearly angry, and it confused me for a minute. She’s not an idiot, and Peggy isn’t exactly subtle about her feelings toward Dottie, so it didn’t make sense for that to get under Dottie’s skin as much as it did. Of course she has to know Peggy doesn’t like her.

But then it hit me; I don’t think she’s angry that Vernon says Peggy would kill her, I think she’s angry because he said that this fact doesn’t make them friends. And again; why? She can’t actually believe they’re friends.

But that’s just it, I think she does. Because the audience is watching from the perspective of a normal, well-enough-adjusted, not-raised-in-the-red-room person. Whatever homoerotic relationship those to have is clearly not reciprocated friendship.

But to Dottie, the relationship she has with Peggy is friendship—because it is the only type of friendship she’s ever known.

A temporary alliance, all the while the knowing that one could kill the other in a moments notice and sleep perfectly fine at night. That’s Dottie’s friendship—even if she’s seen what “normal” friendship looks like, either on missions or through media, it doesn’t change the fact that this is what she knows to be true.

She’s angry because in her head, Peggy is her friend, but she also knows that Peggy doesn’t see it the same way she does; and I think that’s why the comment hits home more than anything else

I took a chance with you, Agent Carter, and now America’s golden boy and a lot of other good men are dead. ‘Cause you had a crush.

Cant believe that Coulson pulled May out of a desk job by telling her he only wanted her to drive the bus, and then a year later she’s a mum of three, where two of her children almost exclusively talk about things she can’t understand and her third child literally has earthquake powers

AC10: Favourite Character

(I think my icon kind of makes it clear who is my favourite lol)

When I first watched AC back in 2015, I was definitely just there for Peggy. I barely remembered the names of other characters and just spent all eight episodes worshipping the grounds Peggy walked on.

But then when I fell back into this fandom in 2020, I found a new blorbo.

Jack is such an enjoyable character. Enjoyable the way spicy or sour food is. He seems like someone so easy to read, you take one look and you can see the jackass that he is, but at the same time he is not transparent. He is aware of the rot of the world, but he is reluctant to change it, but he also wants to do good. He wants to be good, but he is also an ass, and he doesn't know how to keep friends around. He grew up with one set of morals and values, only to realise much later that it's a messed up set of values. He wants to walk away from those people, but he also knows he only gained his position and prestige because of these people. He wants so much for everyone to think he has got everything under control, but he is so so messy, and he hates that he is so so messy.

I certainly won't say he reminds me of myself, because he's not like me, but he reminds me of people I grew up knowing. People with parents in fancy jobs and fancy positions who taught them one way of living life and let them inherit a social network. Only for them to grow up and want different things in life. It's a complex web of emotions all heightened by a character whose middle name might well be repression the way we so rarely get to see how he truly feels.

And one of the best parts of the show is watching for when the mask slips. With that, I will end with one of my favourite shots of Jack, from 2x03, which I like to call the 'kid realising just how out of his depth he really is' shot when Vernon introduces him to Chadwick at the Arena Club, and he realises what Peggy says about their corruption is right.
