Because I work in a nerd-adjacent field, I've been asked a lot over the last few weeks whether I was going to go and see Thunderbolts, and every time I'm asked I give the same answer: lol absolutely not.

I get the marvel fatigue for sure. but damn, getting to the last EP of Loki season 2 and not finishing it is a real disservice to yourself

Loki the show was a real disservice to Loki the character. I'm always surprised when anyone has good things to say about it.

All of the shows except wandavision seemed to range from bad to utter contempt for the characters and/or the audience. After their string of bad shows and movies I was really hoping to see something epic and exciting. It wasn't that, but it also wasn't marketed as that. The shows managed to take an epic saga and make it feel small in my opinion. This feels like it tries to take something more personal and make it big.

You're leaving us hanging there...

Did you get your hopes fulfilled?

Oh lol. I thought it was clear but now that I reread it it's not. I'll edit in that it's not what I was looking for. I think it is exactly what it was billed as but I would not have seen it by myself. It felt more down to earth and that's not what I go to superhero media for. I want big moves like watching the unraveling of a superhero mind controlling an entire town or the decimation of the home of gods.

People will probably disagree, but I think this would've been great as a show and falcon and winter soldier would have been better as a movie. I am not a fan of Bucky in general though so I think I might just misunderstand what people want out of the character.
