What do you think of Red Guardian?

Heyyyyy this exact same post was made a few hours ago. OP is a robot.

I friggin love this guy

I like him a great deal, but he hasn't really had any development as a character. I expect that will come in the future. Thunderbolts wouldn't really have worked without him as he's a much needed comic relief character.

He's red

he's entertaining enough, but the way he treated his daughters was way too easily forgiven. i don't blame yelena for moving on, she wanted family and he's all she's really got so she takes what she can, but he's not a good person

Solid comic relief

I honestly can't see him more than a comic relief, just that.

He feels forced. But he has a few good lines


Love the voice

Toooooooo derivative. Funny character but just another Captain America knockoff with a slight twist.

>I think his character comes off as incompetent and weak

I believe this to be the point of his character. Once again, pointing out that the serum doesn't automatically make you a better human, it just expands on who you **are**.

I think his "heart of a golden retriever" personality is a good dynamic to the dark and broody Winter Soldier or US Agent.

YALENA!!!!!!!!!! DONT GO IN THERE!!!!!

He’s a great guy who cares about doing his best for the people and the glory

Reminds me a lot of the actor who plays him

He is charming.
He is good father to his daughers
He comes when they are in danger
He is super soldier has a dream to do arm wrestling with captain america
basically he is good father , good solider and good saviour. he is out of trend even though he quickly learn and make himself updated.
Overall i love his charecter. Even in what if zombies.. he just nailed his charecter.
only thing i hate is here and there he make fun in serious times. other than its ok.

He trafficked girls.

He's funny in a comic relief sort of way, but he willingly participated in a child trafficking ring. He is not a good person.


*What If* indicates that he used to be a genuine hero though, if a bit of a glory hound.

He looks like his name would be hopper

I think Alexei is a great character, but an annoying as hell person. I'm glad I don't actually have to encounter him in my life, but he's funny on screen. As Red Guardian, he's Russia's answer to the dancing monkey that Captain America briefly was. And he excels in that role, but like most US-created Russian propaganda of the time he's obviously weaker and just all around worse than the American version. Alexei is not bright enough to understand that his role is to be a dancing monkey. But he's dumb enough to not question his superiors, and that seems like a trait that may have been picked deliberately.

Alexei is an interesting character. He's like... the embodiment of blue balls. Dude was created as the hard counter to a guy who had presumably died decades earlier, so his purpose was never fulfilled. He was given missions where, instead of being Red Guardian, he was a dad and lived in Iowa or whatever. Then he went to prison for years, just to get rid of him and what he represents

So him being cringy now, it makes sense. The Red Room abandoned him, the Soviets are gone, SHIELD is gone, the only things in the whole world which meant anything to him are the girls he raised as his daughters, and the identity he was never really allowed to have. He's a middle-aged weapon who was never used

I think it's clear he's filled with self-loathing. Insecurity. But he's trying to find a place in the world where he *does* matter. And I think that's admirable

I think it's a repost from yesterday

GLORY TO THE THUNDERBOLTS

Good comedy side-kick, and a foil for the emotional development of Yelena and Natasha.
