These are just cartoons with CGI instead of hand drawn animation cels, so it doesn’t look as obvious that they’re selling cartoons to perpetual children.

I guess since they’re filming in London, there will be a tariff on it?

Tickets will cost about 30 per person?

The Thunderbolts team was originally a group of villains (none of which are in the movie lineup) who decided to rebrand themselves from the title “Masters of Evil”.

“Masters of Evil” is more on target with Disney at this point, since they own Marvel (and Star Wars and the Muppets, etc ) now.

Casting freaking Elaine from Seinfeld is the bottom of the litter box.

Trying to replace The Avengers with The New Avengers is a REALLY bad idea.

Replace Iron Man, Captain America, The Hulk...?

Really bad idea.

Hmmm. I've never read comic books.

But with the first set of MCU movieAvengers, I at least recognized many of the characters (who hasn't heard of Captain America, Hulk, or Iron Man?) and some of the actors.

But for this new set, I don't think I've ever heard of a single character, and the only actor (aside from Sebastian Stan, who's reprising his role from the earlier cast of Avengers) whose name I recognize is Florence Pugh, and even then I can't place her, just say I've heard the name.

It just seems like an uninspired, cynical, low-effort money grab to capitalize on the Avengers name, but well I guess that's Disney for you these days. Why make something original that stands on its own merits when you can recycle an existing IP by hollowing it out and wearing it like a skin suit?

Don’t care what they do with the “Suicide Squad” redux, just don’t mess around with “Daredevil”, dammit! I like my vigilantes just as they are.

The asterisk in the title of Thunderbolts had long been a matter of speculation

Really? By who?

Not a bungle at all. Just playing with the story. That’s part of the movie is these guys becoming maybe kinda the New Avengers, except also maybe not. They get the building anyway.

An extensive therapy session in cosplay.

What else would you expect from Disney?
