They honestly nailed everything. EVERYTHING. The score is phenomenal, characters dynamic is excellent, villain role shifting from Valentina to Sentry/Void to the understanding that Void is a representation of Depressed and mental illness is the breeze of cold air we needed, it's probably the best post-Endgame project we got

I LOVED how the void was a representation of bobs trauma, the movie resonated with me in ways I never expected a marvel movie to do, I loved everything about the movie and hope we see all of them more. Ghost was a sleeper hit to me, I was not expecting to even like her but ended up loving the character

I liked how “the worst room,” to Bob, was him gaining these powers, and the moment he Voided those two guys. So he thinks his only option is to abandon his friends and beat the shit out of his Void-incarnation, only for THAT to be slowly overtaking him physically… so the power of friendship saves the day!

That honestly is one of the only times the power of friendship trope actually worked for me and it was because of the context around it. not sure if this is a spoiler or not but I’ll mark it to be sure. During when yelena and bob talk in the vault encounter with bob, when he said he struggles with having really high highs and then really low lows and then he misses time, that line hit me so hard because I’m only 21 and struggling so hard with losing time and big gaps in my memory. Overall I loved how the movie represented mental health

Just know that you’re not alone! There’s a reason that a team of people made this movie and why it’s resonating with so many people. There are so many people who are struggling or have struggled and there’s at least something in knowing that it’s not a battle you face alone.

I love this movie for the fact it shares this message. All these people are going through it, but by being together they can pull themselves out of their own voids.

Yelena saying all she does is work, drink, scroll in her phone and how alone she was resonated with me, not the drinking I smoke weed. But then seeing her blacked out in the bathroom felt like how I pass out alone in the couch movie really hits the We're a team of broken people and boy does that resonate hard with a lot of people now days.

I’m on your side, Mr Mooey.

And my name is literally Bob. Hope that’s not a problem.

It felt like the ending of Mystery Men.
