    Dumb article just trying to throw random nothing to talk about. This reveal literally happens in the end credits, and it’s guaranteed that it will be said maybe once in the next movie and then never again. No one who follows the comics will have any time to be confused about shit. Even the post credit scene makes fun of it already.

      Yeah, I’m on team “They’re no Avengers”. I love the fact that it was immediately ridiculed in-world.

      Jesus. Is anyone actually supposed to take John “Formally Captain America” Walker seriously as an Avenger? Spider-Man had to hustle for that kind of cred, and he was a well-liked homegrown hero with actual powers. Are we all supposed to start calling these folks that just because he, Congressman Winter Soldier, and an group of unfamiliar but suspiciously darkly-attired supers were labeled as such after they happened to appear during a cataclysm that coincided with a desperate press conference by a disgraced CIA director?

      No fucking way. Those are not The New Avengers. Those are “the new Avengers” or the Notvengers or the B-vengers or Bucky’s kids or anything other than a straight faced “New Avengers”. I expect them to likely stick with Thunderbolts, honestly. It would clearly be better than one of the sarcastic derisive nicknames.

    FYI Spoilers for “Thunderbolts*” in the subtitle/opening question of this article. The article has a spoiler warning, but AFTER they’ve already spoiled it.

    I will be interested to see what the word of mouth is for this marvel entry. The marketing has been abysmal. The blue gray camera filter used in every scene I’ve seen so far isn’t doing it any favors either.

      It was a refreshing change of pace. One of the better movies of the last 2 phases. I was afraid it would lean way too heavy into the ragtag antihero style movie like we’ve seen before, but it had a good balance.

        Haven’t seen it yet, but figured I’d already seen the suicide squad (the one that wasn’t shit, not the first one).

        Can’t really stand any of the characters, but it’s been a long time since marvel was watchable anyway.

    They should take the “Ultimates” option from the comics.

    Re-boot everything with different actors.

    We’ve had about 73 James Bonds and 19 Spider-Mens, we can handle a new Captain America
