I don’t wanna get my hopes up. The MCU will never have the same pop culture influence it had pre-infinity war

thunderbolts cannot be THAT good bro

It’s pretty good. Not great, but it’s mostly dumb superhero fun. Kinda feels like a phase 2 movie in that sense

unfortunately it has to reference a lot of trash shows like F+tWS too

well yea

it's sad that the actor in that got death threats for playing a character too

just bc IN THE SHOW, falcon didn't take the shield at first and so they gave it to john walker bc of his race (cause that's how captain america's successor was chosen)
and people got mad at the actor for playing him

seriously though the next captain america should've been bucky, he was steve's friend for a long time, they went into the military together and both gave their lives for the same cause
giving it to falcon was a definite DEI move bc it would never have happened irl

yeah but bucky already has the metal arm so i feel like the shield would be redundant

that would be more op though

falcon already has a flying suit too so the shield is extremely redundant
matter of fact, it makes no sense bc throwing the shield in the air looks a lot more ridiculous when you're flying near planes and the shield finds its way back to you

we barely tolerated that with og captain america (what i mean is that the shield doesn't obey physical laws at all, but it's cool so we love it)
but flying in the air with a boomerang shield just looks stupid on so many levels
especially when we've seen that his falcon wings can deflect bullets too

It's not the best, but it's the best in a while

I'm never calling it "The new avengers"

i'm trying to get to see it
i hope it's good

but yeah they kinda alienated the fanbase and it's not ever going to be as relevant as before
especially since the child audience grew up and now they're watching stuff like The Boys and Invincible instead now

i wish i was on social media when it was relevant though
bc i was such a big fan fr
