he can have one just to watch videos and check different random things that the fandom posts>> I don't think he cares enough about fans to create a finsta. He could use his account and look at the posts, but there is so much hate, it's not healthy, and it would miss the point of him leaving IG because of the hate. We don't even know if it was him who accessed the account or if it was a friend.
Finsta oe not, my point is he has always been on social media.
Why would a friend have access to his account and watch edits & follow someone?
Many actors or singers have secret accounts that no one knows / lol well their fans usually do, eventually. E.g. we know Chace's private acc bc of tags and maaaany common follows/followers, same for some other celebs like Timothee Chalamet or Lily James. All other finstas in their friends group besides Chace's aren't Sebastian's, and aren't even followed by/don't follow many people you'd think he would follow. With this fandom's detective/stalking persistence and determination, it would have been easy to spot the acc by now, imo.
Makes sense, but what I mean is that he can have one just to watch videos and check different random things that the fandom posts, not for close friends etc.
Let me tell y'all, Sebastian wouldn't let his hair grow and keep it that long for years now if he had no screen time at all or if his role wasn't important.>> Is it going to be good or another shit MCU movie?
To be honest, it depends on many factors & the direction MCU wants to go with.
I think they have amazing actors but way too many characters in Thunderbolts*.
For me quality > quantity & this is what I liked about Bucky's story till now (and Yelena's)
It has potential to be a good film if they keep it on the more realistic side of Marvel (like Black Widow & TFATWS) & if the writing won't be the same as it was in the last phase: predictable, boring & lacking of real emotion.
(This is what was missing in Loki S2. S1 had those raw emotions and it amazing.)
Florence leading (Yelena as the team leader) is a great decision because she is an incredible actress, Yelena is interesting, and she + Sebastian bring the fans to the cinema.
Kevin never said Bucky is the official leader & it wouldn't make sense for him to be since he is pardoned.
He is the de facto leader & if he is getting his own subplot, things will be so much more interesting.
Also, I really think Yelena & Bucky should have scenes together & I like that they (writers/producers) want to give us the characters' backstory (childhood) so we can actually understand them.
I don't think the main villain is the right choice since most of these people are super soldiers, I believe that Red Guardian will die & that Marvel will probably change things post filming.
You never know with them, anyway, & even if you think you got the direction, they film multiple versions.
So yes, it can either be a really good film, with a great message and an interesting direction since the leads are some of the most appreciated actors in Hollywood or a bad, bad version of Suicide Squad (with no real focus or storyline since there are too many things happening at once & too many characters)
But I have hope they realized, too, that quantity < quality.
I wanted to update you because I haven't written in a while even though I really wanted to [but working has been eating my time and energy for the last 2 months (I changed my workplace & I had to slowly take over tasks)].
But I have another part for director!Bucky and actress!r + many other stories planned/in mind + some works in progress & a really great request I did not forget about (royalty princess!girl & mafia!Bucky).
So if you have any writing requests, I am really open :)
I saw so many comments about how Bucky will be in the film for max 1 minute (a lot of crying and complaining too)
Let me tell y'all, Sebastian wouldn't let his hair grow and keep it that long for years now if he had no screen time at all or if his role wasn't important. He would just use a wig (like he did before).
And even if he doesn't have a lot of screen time, his role is crucial for sure. He is the "de facto" leader + he is still next to Yelena (the main character in the team for sure) in the poster.
Just because he is not a part of the team -at first at least- it doesn't mean he is not important.
So stop believing everything... as if Marvel is gonna tell people what happens in the film (and they film till July & then reshootings for sure).
I know many Bucky fans are mad, but I never expected him to have a lot of screen time in Thunderbolts* to begin with. Especially with such a huge team (and they need to be*come* likeable and relatable to the audience).
Thunderbolts* is NOT a solo movie, it's a team movie (Suicide Squad style).
He should've gotten a Winter Soldier film ages ago (getting some of memories back in Romania so we see many flashbacks), but in Thunderbolts*, he doesn't need to have 2h of screen time to be a key character.
And this is what I care about the most... Quality > quantity
In his MCU journey, we always found him in different stages (and this is what made it fun and exciting for Sebastian too) & I love the fact we get to put two and two together and try to understand hints rather than straight up being told everything about his life.
He is one of the most interesting characters & he carried the Cap triology (and Marvel knows it). He got less than 15 minutes of screen time & 13 lines in CATWS (a movie with his name in the title) & still stole the show... he always steals the show, he's "the underdog".
He's super popular & so is Sebastian. They don't bother to use him more because they know people (come to the cinema to) watch anything if he is in it.
They saw that with "Dumb Money".
So they might even give us Bucky in small doses intentionally.
Sebastian got more projects left, which = a safe paycheck he can use for other projects.
(This is why I disagree when people say he should leave Marvel as if:
1. He doesn't have a strict contract with more projects left & he wouldn't need to pay;
2. He doesn't need the money - to pay his employees, to produce & play in other films)
3. He doesn't find it comforting to play Bucky every 3 years...
He loves Bucky (and he is similar to Bucky) & he always gets to explore different sides of the character when he returns, which is amazing for an actor.
Also, Kevin said Bucky is the de facto leader, after all. And that doesn't mean his role isn't important (CATWS & CACW are good examples), quite the opposite.
(I think he might have a subplot & save the team at the end)
We all got ??? when we thought he's in the team because he is already pardoned. He proved he is "stable" in TFATWS.
It makes sense to me if he has his own thing.
The fact the team has to "earn the trust" aka go into a suicide mission bc they are seen as disposable is sick.
(Bucky is seen like this, too)
There is no good or bad side & Bucky sees right through this. He always did.
I'm glad Yelena is finally a lead, though & I wonder how she'll use the opportunity to take revenge on Valentina.
Also, I think she'll lose her dad (sacrifice maybe), and that will be an amazing scene.
I really hope Bucky & Yelena have at least one scene (maybe he is sent to lead them in the middle of the film or he just shows up to save the team at the end). They are similar, yet different, so a great, great duo.
Florence and Sebastian are 🙌🏻 (incredible actors... they portray the characters with so much passion. They know them so well) and I can sense a lottt of chemistry.
My point is: things always change, you never know with MCU & so let's wait and hope it's a good film⚡️
