If emo nihilism was a superpower (wait…what?)

Pugh and Harbour bring the heart, Russell the snark. 

One of the best baton es in MCU

Marvel REALLY need to sort out their cinematography though. Even watching this on the biggest IMAX possible, anything that’s not daylight just looks muddy and underlit 🌚
