Wow, I immediately recognized each of them separately as being from Playtest years ago, but completely forgot when they showed up together in Thunderbolts. Thanks for the reminder!
ImmaDoMahThing2025-10-27 15:27
B-15 from Loki is also in this episode!
DocDerry2025-10-27 15:41
People really want Wyatt to find his Goldie.
PunkT3ch2025-10-27 18:55
I will happily volunteer.
Niel152025-10-27 15:46
The ending of that episode was so sad. Made me want to hug my mom.
ThisIsMySFWAccount992025-10-28 08:30
Many such cases with Black Mirror
distilledwill2025-10-28 11:21
Kinda why I don't watch it any more - such a bummer. Almost every episode is so relentlessly cruel.
Also, my partner saw Brooker at the Edinburgh festival one time and she said he had small hands but that is neither here nor there.
vballboy552025-10-27 15:55
I have never seen a single comment or post about people "shipping" them
NinjaSpaceFrog2025-10-27 16:50
I mean, they have 225 fics on AO3 and a fairly active ship tag on Tumblr, so there’s absolutely quite a few people shipping them.
Not as big as Bob/Yelena or Bob/Walker, but still quite some support.
vballboy552025-10-27 16:52
I have no idea what you are talking about. I'm getting too old for this shit lol
NinjaSpaceFrog2025-10-27 17:00
AO3 is a website for fanfiction. People have so far written 225 fan stories in which John and Ava are a couple.
Tumblr is a ~~goddamn mess~~ social media site that caters to fandom stuff, basically. John and Ava’s ship tag (#GhostWalker) is fairly active on there with people posting headcanons, gif sets, fanart, etc.
And I don't necessarily think you’re too old as much as this is just a side of fandom that isn't for you. In that sense, you don't really have to understand much.
nage_2025-10-27 20:24
tumblr still exists??
NinjaSpaceFrog2025-10-27 20:41
Yes. It tries to run itself into the ground with every update, but it keeps existing. You’d’ve thought the porn ban would do it in, but somehow it didn't.
igby12025-10-27 18:17
Yeah I don’t live in that fan fiction world either so all the “shipping” talk seems silly to me.
vinternet2025-10-28 04:19
It's not an age thing, people have been doing this for decades, it's just a "what ways do you engage in pop culture" thing. Archive of Our Own (AO3) and "shipping" tumblr posts have been a thing for a long time, but they don't come up on this subreddit often.
Buhos_En_Pantelones2025-10-27 19:45
It's the same thing with "I don't understand why (insert thing here) gets so much hate."
I've literally never seen anyone say that.
ConflictResolutioner2025-10-27 22:17
I must not be up on current slang. What does "ship" mean?
vballboy552025-10-27 22:22
Claiming they should be a couple
Federal-Captain11182025-10-28 00:12
Think relationSHIP
Any-Transition952025-10-28 00:14
That's not "current slang" lol. It's as old as X-Files fandoms in the 90s. It's just short for "relationship".
ConflictResolutioner2025-10-28 06:47
Oh.
canadiancarlin2025-10-27 17:25
Great episode. Brutal, but great.
Monster-Hunter-952025-10-27 17:26
Just finished it, three words: holy fucking shit
Izarial2025-10-27 21:36
That sums up that whole show if you ask me
jaythebearded2025-10-27 17:46
This has been my favorite episode of BM since it came out, it felt neat recognizing him when he got cast as Walker
Monster-Hunter-952025-10-27 18:25
His acting when he was losing his memories was so good man, it physically hurts me to watch that part
Ok_Barracuda7822025-10-27 17:52
Two struggling with live sarcastic trained fighters who are also hot? Oooo, GhostWalker just gooood. Gimme more....hum-hum-hum, yaaaam...
igby12025-10-27 18:19
He’ll always be a character I never wanted in the MCU that’s made even worse by being played by a nepo baby.
Federal-Captain11182025-10-28 00:13
You can go complain about nepo babies when they don't deserve their job.
Wyatt Russell is a fantastic actor in his own right.
-NinjaTurtleHermit-2025-10-27 18:23
Black best friend
Black wife
Black side piece
For all his many, many, many faults, never let it be said that John Walker isn't down with the swirl.
(The MCU sure seems to have a thing for the mythical "non-racist fascist". 😆)
NotAStatistic22025-10-28 00:17
I don't think you know what fascist means if we're labeling John Walker one. He's not done a single thing any other Avenger hasn't. If anything he's among the most innocent considering his actions didn't directly lead to alien invasions or an entire country being obliterated by an insane AI.
-NinjaTurtleHermit-2025-10-28 00:28
An apologist, eh?
Innocent? No. At best, he's quasi-fascist. Walker definitely counts.
RedXerzk2025-10-28 02:53
He’s a PTSD survivor who had a violent breakdown over being treated like a glorified mascot/gun by the US government and the death of his best friend at the hands of a terrorist. I think you’re confusing the MCU version for the comic version.
RihoSucks2025-10-27 18:36
This just reminds me how much ive forgotten black mirror. I had to look up the plot and this was an episode I really liked too! But fuck if I remembered either of them being in it!
stigma_wizard2025-10-27 20:10
Holy shit I forgot she played that girl from that episode. I legit thought this was from a deleted Thunderbolts scene or something
simpletonclass2025-10-27 20:29
Hopefully they don’t dumb him down too much. That last line in thunderbolts about space was just MCU comedy trash.
CrimsonBeherit2025-10-27 21:03
Such an amazing episode. Black mirror used to be amazing, except when they went all Miley cirus and Sam Wilson's having in game sex with his friend just because sexy playable characters
Skreamie2025-10-28 00:02
This episode broke me. Had to take a half hour before I watched the next it shook me that much
Dad_of_One_Punch_Man2025-10-28 01:18
And one of my fav Black Mirror Episode too........
Meizas2025-10-28 03:22
They had great chemistry in this episode
jommakanmamak2025-10-28 08:41
There's also another person in the MCU who's in this episode
Monster-Hunter-952025-10-28 09:39
Yess! B-15
luvu3330002025-10-28 19:00
