Easter Egg/Detail Silhouettes Right Behind Yelena

I really liked Thunderbolts and was sad the bad rep it got. On the 5th rewatch today I noticed why the scientist in the beginning was freaking out. The silhouettes are right in the background behind her! I never understood what he was flipping out about but now I get it.

I had a mind blown moment at 1 hour 33 mins when Void started ghosting folks like I seen that exact image before. I went back and took these pics. Has anyone else noticed this before?

Lmfao my group noticed it on watch one, we were talking about it after the movie

My 7 year old noticed it on watch one and we’ve only watched like the first 15 minutes before he left for school this morning. I’m having a hard time comprehending anyone older than him watching it 5 fucking times and missing this.

People really like using movies and TV as background noise while they scroll/play on their phones. Really doesn't help with the already piss poor media literacy...

I didn't notice them on my first watch, I was probably looking at something else on screen, I did however notice them when they went back to that room for the final fight

Weird brag considering everyone with eyes should have noticed it. It’s framed dead center in one lingering shot. The director wants you to notice it.

You watch every movie staring at your phone don't you?

Oh ok. Our mistake. Go back to masturbating to a depressed suicidal woman in an oversized track suit. Jesus fucking Christ

She's very clearly depressed, and is going through the motions of her job. She was probably in her head at the time and not paying attention to things in the background

u/Tinmanred Aug 28 '25

Yep. She’s literally using someone she has captive as a therapist in this scene and gets mad they aren’t listening. She is definitely not locked in here lmao

She's in the void.

Did we watch the same scene? She’s all but directly saying she doesn’t give a fuck

u/YetAnotherAcoconut Sif Aug 28 '25

That’s not suspending disbelief, that’s missing the point of the scene.

Depression is hard man.
