SPOILER ALERT
WE AREEEEEEE SOOO BACK!!!
After a long time, we’re finally back—and so are the heroes. The New Avengers are here, and
they’re ready to take on the world.
Thunderbolts did not disappoint. While the characters may think they’re all disappointments, to
us, they are anything but. This film brings a fresh start in storytelling. The narrative felt new to
me, especially coming from a Marvel movie. I didn’t expect this level of emotional depth—it
genuinely surprised me.
This movie shows that even heroes have bad days. They experience sadness, loneliness, and
trauma—just like us. Yes, they may have powers and abilities beyond human capability, but
emotionally, they are just as vulnerable. Thunderbolts, in my opinion, is the most emotionally
vulnerable film in the MCU, especially in how it handles mental health—with care and
authenticity.
It reminds us that feeling alone isn’t forever. Sadness, darkness, and despair have an end,
especially when the right people come into your life—people you may never have expected to
help you. There is still hope and light even in the middle of chaos.
One powerful example is Bob, who is consumed by his darkness and trauma. Yet others didn’t
give up on him. Even small gestures—like noticing he dyed his hair—showed care and
connection. That moment stood out to me as something deeply beautiful. Sometimes it’s the
smallest things that mean the most.
The Thunderbolts understand and never judge each other, even though they’re all broken in
different ways. The cast—especially Florence Pugh and Lewis Pullman—perfectly captured
the emotion of the story. They were incredibly well-suited for their roles and had amazing
chemistry. It genuinely felt like a small, dysfunctional family bound by trauma and heart.
This movie has everything: intense action (both physical and emotional), meaningful drama, and
just the right amount of humor to remind us that even in darkness, there can be light. 10/10.
Thunderbolts brings back the old feeling of Marvel, even though the team is new and things will
never be the same again. Still, they are THE AVENGERS… with a Z. And don’t forget to stay
for the post-credit scene—totally worth it.
