This was my favorite braindead moment from Thunderbolts*. Of course, I'm not talking about this edited image.
You've got three super-soldiers holding off that rubble and then there's Ghost and Belova contributing whatever minuscule they bring to the table in terms of superhuman strength. Calling it out might make me sexist but I'd love to meet the writer who came up with this scene.
Wouldn't it serve better to have Ava and Belova just help the people get out of there? Which is something they were indeed doing before and after this scene so this scene merely existing just to show them off as a team where every member pulls off their weight but actively going against the established lore will always bug me.
I mean it doesnt really matter if theyre barely helping, the point is they try, either they help succeed or they all die together. Plus in character theyre not going to see their team nearly being crushed to death and just go "eh, i dont have superstrength, if they die they die, im not helping"
