Something that’s fascinating to me is that there are things we don’t know about Bob, mostly regarding the timeline of his life prior to him waking up in the vault and the exact timeline of Project Sentry

Things we know/can infer:

Avengers Tower was sold to a third party (one we now know to be OXE group) in 2016, as Happy was moving the last of its contents out of the building during the end of Spider-Man Homecoming, which in turn was shortly after the events of CACW.

Here’s where things get murky and speculative:

Lewis Pullman was born in 1993, so let’s say for the sake of argument that Bob was also born the same year. We don’t know if his job as a fried chicken promoter (where he had his meth episode) was a high school or college job, though my gut feeling is that it was a job he had after graduating high school (if indeed he even finished high school).

The Snap occurred in 2018, and everyone who was blipped as a result was brought forward five years to 2023 (though as we see with Yelena, they perceived it happening instantaneously). This is also the same time the OG avengers team fractured—ignoring those who were added to the team in subsequent phases, Tony and Natasha were dead, Clint was more or less retired, Banner and the Hulk had merged, and Thor had left Earth. This is undoubtedly the point where Valentina realized she had to create a protector for the earth so that someone like Thanos wouldn’t be an issue again—“there’s a bad guy and a worse guy”, after all.

By this logic and under these assumptions, Bob would’ve been 25 when the snap occurred and either still 25 when he was brought back or about 30 during the events of Endgame (depending on whether or not he blipped). Thunderbolts takes place in 2027, meaning there’s a four-year duration in which Valentina could’ve started Project Sentry, Bob could’ve joined, and was presumed dead/defective and thrown out with the rest of the project. I’m personally under the impression that Bob’s powers activating and killing the two people on the walls of the lab didn’t take all that long, meaning he could’ve been in that box for as long as three years (though I doubt it was that long)

Mysterious 🤔

I wonder what the dynamic between Yelena and Sentry!Bob would be like…

Bob is cute and all, but now it’s time to talk about Sentry & Yelena I’ve all been waiting for

You’re not the only one who noticed this.

I mean, given how much Sentry was holding back when the rest of our ragtag group of misfits confronted him (honestly he could have done far far worse, but he didn’t, he was using like 0.1% of his full power but it was still enough to be terrifying), he seemed to hold back more for Yelena.

Which leads me to my next point… Bob, as Sentry, does say that neither Bucky, Walker, Ava, Yelena, nor Alexei pose a threat to him, and thus he has no intention to kill them despite an order to. This means he, on the higher end of his high days, still remembers who they are (with the exception of Alexei and Bucky). It is unfortunate, I think, that Bob as his usual self has no recollection of this. But it’s also a good thing that none of them hold this against him.

For a young man who had discovered earlier that he is in fact bulletproof, it should have come to no surprise that not even Yelena’s Widow Bites could shock him. I’d wager he didn’t even feel that, perhaps it was a faint tickle to him at best. Did Bob as Sentry show more restraint when dealing with Yelena because he remembered that she meant him no harm? 🤔

ok, but why aren't we talking about how sentry was clearly gentler with yelena than with the others?

when she jumped on him and for a moment he was considering how to handle her and then when he flew up to get her off his back but then caught her before she hit the floor and tossed her away with obvious restraint???

THUNDERBOLTS* SPOILERS BABY!

Bucky getting his arm ripped off again and being thrown across the room, only for Ava to quickly snatch up the arm, as Walker is already pulling Bucky upright, so that Alexei can toss him over his shoulders like a rag-doll, while Yelena runs for the elevator.

— Thunderbolts*

i love how they all came together for Bucky 😭

Going from “bob is looking at their memories and is going to use them against each character later” to “omg bob saw those memories and realised he’s not alone at all and there are other people in the world who he could actually relate to” was wild coz I didn’t expect it until I was already crying.

No but to be serious guys i didnt expect that movie to be that kind of good. I expected great fights. I expected complicated morals. I did not expect that movie to say i know everything seems hopeless but you dont get a choice, you have to try. I did not expect that movie to say when we are up against an impossible, unjust threat the only way through is freely given kindness and forgiveness. I did not expext that movie to say the real way villans win is by preying on those we’ve already decided are hopeless. I did not expect that movie to say we all have to believe we can get better. Please believe me we can all get better. Oh my god.
