Cassie and Carly look surprisingly happy for a movie that’s essentially about depression.

I love watching people watch the final fight against the Void, and the progression of feelings that that fight inevitably brings out. You start excited that Bob is fighting back, he’s going to defeat his inner demons, then the slow realization that this isn’t the answer, that Bob is just beating himself up, then the embrace and omg that look on Bob’s face when he realizes he’s not alone. What a stellar performance by Pullman.

Red Guardian being a fan boy over Bucky is hilarious

The line, “Daddy, I’m so alone” is so perfectly delivered. It hit me like a ton of bricks. And my showing, at a drive-in, had an audible, collective gasp when that little girl disappeared into the void.

The final confrontation for Bob vs Void is probably the best cinematic representation of depression and what it feels like. Everything from wallowing in a room made of your worst memories, Void literally making the room bigger to separate Bob from his support network, to Bob punching Void into the floor being a maladaptive coping mechanism of pushing down your negative feelings. This movie made everyone who has ever had depressive episodes feel seen.

I know that Val is not a good person in the least but maaaaaannnnn... "Righteousness without power is just an opinion" is such a bar.

I love that they took the former communist Soviet Super soldier the Red Guardian and turned him into the biggest capitalist of the group. He moved to the US, started his own limo business, and then he was the one trying to get all the sponsors and merchandising that he could for the New Avengers. Sorry, Avengerz.

Someone else said it best when summarizing this movie: It's a love note to mental health.

The things that the Void says..."You don't matter to anyone" and "We will always be alone"...they are so terrifyingly accurate to what the mind of a depressed person says....it's chilling.
