I hope they say something like: ¨we are kinda like a suicide team?¨ and then someone replies...¨team? mmm doesnt sound quite right...¨and then they look at the camera and blink
Definitely worth a watch. Lots of emotion and heart that's been missing.
Red Russian is comedy relief without wrecking serious issues of mental health that get addressed quite well.

After the pathetic Captain America: Brave New World this thing feels like a masterpiece. It's actually not, and it has a ton of problems (shoehorned-in characters, some very hokey elements, a wonky narrative structure, and a visual presentation that is the usual MCU dusty grey) but it is charming, and Florence Pugh is excellent, and I love her chemistry with David Harbour, and it just kinda makes you feel nice so you forgive a lot of stuff. 3/5

Hard to hit a movie about depression for having a drab color palette, especially when it's fully saturated when they get out of the void.

Did not realize the whole of the non-James Gunn directed MCU was about depression

I liked it a lot.
as others said it really does tackle some deep issues whether it is lack of purpose, feeling alone or not sure if you are crazy or not. it didnt seem like any characters where shoehorned in as they were all working for val and they were all loose ends to her oxford company.
julia was pretty defiant in her role and with really only associating her with Elaine i was pleasantly surprised with how well she commanded the role. there were a lot of unanswered questions about how things were done (how did bucky transport the four to the garage if he destroyed all the vehicles except his motorcycle?) but other than odd ball things like that i noticed it feels like maybe the MCU is back after quantum mania (honestly while a average movie at best it was really the only lackluster MCU movie since EG

I also liked the New Avengers name and the trolling it invoked

I really wish Marvel would tighten up their trailer game.
