I didn’t get the chance to see Thunderbolts* when it hit theaters as part of the 2025 movie schedule, and now I feel like I owe Marvel an apology for some of the things I said about The Fantastic Four: First Steps. You see, for some time now, I’ve had a gripe about the MCU being “too big,” and what I really wanted was a more human-sized story. I wrote a couple of months ago that First Steps got close, but still wasn’t exactly what I was looking for. It turns out, the whole time I was stewing about this, Thunderbolts* was out there, waiting for me.
