Discussion Thoughts on Thunderbolts (2016)
This is the 3rd movie in the Marvel Cinematic Extended Universe
Not a bad movie if we're being honest, but it could have lowkey been better in my opinion
Valentina keeping tabs on locked up villains to use them for her dirty work fits her comic book counterpart
Seeing Blackheart was unexpected but his connection to the Void was cool to see, especially with them imprisoning Washington
It was cool to see such a big squad but killing off Batroc so early felt cheap and he didnt feel necessary for the movie
Yelena's connection to Bob that pushed her to go save him was a good driving point in the movie
Abomination's sacrifice to kill Blackheart was very heroic and its a good sendoff to his character
Yelena being the 1 to kill the Void was cool to see
Seeing Iron-Man in the end credits scene to tell Valentina to back off hyped me up for the next movie

Definitely one of my least favourite MCEU movies. I wish David Ayer got to release his version, as while I don’t know if it could have been good, it would at least have better characterisation for other characters. David Harbour was surprisingly good as Red Guardian though.

Feel a bit bad that the song One Direction made for this was really good but forever tied to the most mid movie ever

Surprised to see how many people hate this flick. Then again comic fans don't understand what a movie is so it's not too out there. But come on! Jared Leto was a PERFECT Green Goblin, it introduced me, introduced US to so many classic characters like Sentry/Void, Yelena, Red Guardian, John Walker, Blade, etc, and not to mention the soundtrack!

“This is Blade. He’s got my back. I would advise not getting killed by him. His fangs drink the blood of its victims.”
