As of this posting, the Thunderbolts* have barely made $381 million globally. Jump in the thread and tell me that is a success, please; then, also admit that Captain America: Brave New World is also a hit, since it made $415 million. Since the MCU retitled the film New Avengers, this is now the lowest-grossing Avengers film ever. It’s also the first Avengers film to ever flop. Even though Thunderbolts is a critical hit with film critics and filmgoers, it is undeniable that the film is a flop. So, here is my Thunderbolts review – it is not a good film. People who say otherwise are huffing nostalgia and miss the Golden Era of the MCU.
Saying this film is the best MCU film since Endgame or Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is not saying much. Take away those specific comparisons, and Thunderbolts is not a good film on its own merits. It is a prime example of why the MCU machine is broken and a bad sign for the MCU’s future.
