found family dynamics i adore:

• the entire gang shares 1 (one) braincell which they takes turns passing around

• unwilling teammates gradually grow on each other
  

• Area Man Forcibly Adopted by Several Children

• bonded over shared trauma

• none of us have actual families or homes to go back to anymore, but at least we have each other

• “every single one of these guys has tried to kill me at least once, but we’re cool now and i’d trust them with my life”

• redemption arc comes with bonus new family and friends (bonus feature is non-negotiable and eventual acceptance inevitable)
  

• i WAS going to leave the group and go my own way as soon as this job was over - and i would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for my meddling heart!
  

• villains with Feelings™

• Officer I Swear I’ve Never Met Any Of These People In My Life (But If Anything Were To Happen To Them I Would Kill Everyone Here And Then Myself)
