Marvel's Thunderbolts
Discussion
It actually looks interesting and might be a good opportunity to really start breaking away from the sort of crud that they have been churning out in the MCU in the last few years. Just get back to the roots of good comic book action with a bit of grittiness, bit of humour mixed in.
Unfortunately, probably so many people have become disenchanted with the franchise and won't be going to watch it that it won't get a fair chance though.

Hopefully this will be a decent film. The opening of the trailer did make me think why the Avengers couldn't help with the new bad though. Obviously Iron-Man is dead, but the Hulk is still about isn't he? And they now got She-Hulk. Although everyone has 'forgotten' Spider-Man is Peter Parker, he is still a known super hero is he not? Nick Fury is on a spaceship somewhere isn't he, but he's not just going to abandon Earth and he must of given someone the phone number to Captain Marvel [I really can't remember where she is]. Where is Thor? I'm sure he'll help...although he is a Father now. God knows where Dr Strange is...he went off with Charlize Theron somewhere. Deadpool and Wolverine can get involved now! Who have I missed...just WhatsApp Captain Marvel, she can fly back pretty fast!

There's a scene in the film where Florence Pugh jumps off the Merdeka 118 in Malaysia, the second tallest building in the world. As the stunt got nearer to filming, she found out they wanted to have a stunt double do it, because of little things like safety and insurance 
. So she Karen emailed Kevin Feige over and over until they let her do the jump and not the stunt double. I knew she was pretty fearless with stuff, cutting her hair off for We Live In Time, getting her boobs out for... a lot of films. Tom Cruising off a building was a new one though.

Out on Disney+ now. Saw it last night, decent enough and have always like Black Widow’s sister far more than Black Widow herself. Interesting final end credit scene, but like with all Marvel films - and it’s been touched on above - when there’s planet threatening peril, where are the rest of them? Hulk is referenced, as in the new Captain America and his team, plus there’s loads of others still out there somewhere. Anyway, good effort.
So just watched this this evening.
What’s the Sam Avengers team thing? I watched that Cap America BNW thing last month or so. It was rubbish but it didn’t talk about any Avengers team he has put together. I thought he was also mates with Bucky, best mates since Steve left. So, er, why wouldn’t he ask Bucky to hang with him?
Figured one of you obsessed comic gimps probably knows. I just watch the films and don’t pay attention to the rest of the crap/backstory/canon/b

Well he definitely had his mate with him who is the new Falcon, and I’m sure there was at least one other in there too. But it does seem odd having two rival Avenger teams.What’s the Sam Avengers team thing? I watched that Cap America BNW thing last month or so.

When you watched BNW, did you miss the bit where the President asked Wilson to put the avengers together? What’s the Sam Avengers team thing? I watched that Cap America BNW thing last month or so. It was rubbish but it didn’t talk about any Avengers team he has put together.
