I've heard the same things about the Marvels. It was fun and breezy, and Ilhan Omar was a delight! And I've heard similar things about Thunderbolts too, come to think about it.

Early reactions are almost always positive.

>The film is completely self-contained
Even though the ending is them leaving and entering 616 at the end of Thunderbolts? Nice try, nigger.
Fuck your capeshit.

Thunderbolt did fine with audiences though. It's decent as far as 2020's marvel goes

>>212861589
That's not the ending.

Stop trying to defend schlock, shillstein

Disney is going all-out shilling this garbage
They're terrified that it will bomb but that's what happens when you race-swap and gender-bend beloved characters

>>212861611
It did fine with the audiences that actually watched it. Non-NPCs didn't even go to the theaters, because at this point they knew better.

>>212861685
Then what the fuck is it lmao? They have to be in 616 by Doomsday, and Thunderbolts ends on them seeing the Fantastic Fourskin ship.

So are we supposed to root for this or Superman? The latter seems to be more /tv/-coded.

>>212861716
That's why they're counter shilling superman with pajeet shill 24/7 too

Pedro IS Sneed

>>212861755
They defeat Galactus and save the world. In the post-credits scene, Doctor Doom kidnaps the baby, leading into them going to Earth-616 in Doomsday.

The movie is self-contained.

>>212861814
/tv/ mod team is run by a marketing professional and this board is infested with shills. Disney is up to its old tricks

>>212861511 (OP)
I'd never thought they could assemble even more off-putting cast than Borderlands, well here we go.

>>212861611
No company in the history of the world has ever been fine with consistently making less money than they used to. Thats when you should start firing motherfuckers

wow so unexpected

>>212861611
Why is it getting anally violated by superman then?

>>212861854
That's not self contained if you end on the story continuing in another one. That's like saying Kill Bill Vol. 1 is its own movie.

Saw it, loved it. Better jokes than Superman.

from the ones who have special "access", right?

>>212861937
It's only an after credit stinger. They've been used to tease future storylines like this since the original Iron Man....
The movie is absolutely self contained. Not that that really matters when it sounds like complete ass.

>>212861937
The 2nd Spider-Man movie ended with his identity being revealed to the world in the mid credits scene after the whole movie was a filler trip to Europe. These movies don’t give a fuck about standing on their own

>>212861814
neither, they're both low quality capeshit

There are also 2 post credits teasers, one is dooms castle the second is an injured mole man with his face scarred from galactus vowing revenge

My dude, it's already been leaked what the stingers actually are.

>>212862402
No chance.
It'll probably end somewhere between 600 and 650.

>>212862297
I didn’t see it cuz I don’t like Superman. Im not seeing FF either cuz I don’t like them. Marvel’s strategy of

From the ads on, it's clear they followed this guy's prescription to the letter. Love him or hate him (Star Wars "is a movie about space wizards for children") he gave a plan, and they followed it.

Stop with the Doom-centric. Mention their origins in passing and get on with it, they are established famous people already, who went on big sci-fi adventures (not comic book! More Guardians than Avengers or Superman) and are a family that loves each other.

They literally formed the trailers about these ideas.

I hope Patrick got a 7 figure check out of it.

I am a bitter, bitter ocean of bitterness about the last movie with [fill in name of MCU character/franchise here] and so I want this to underperform just so Marvel can go into Avengers: Doomsday with an entire cast whose last film underperformed + Downey not [sort of] playing the character people want to see him play.

I don't usually accuse people of being Marvel shills but there's a particular type of commenter on Twitter and elsewhere who simply tries to pretend that Doomsday has a great cast when almost everyone announced is unpopular or damaged goods. I would enjoy seeing them try to spin it if nobody is coming off a popular movie.

>>212861561
The fact that Thunderbolts got almost universal praise blows my fucking mind. I am unironically a fan of the comics so was actually looking forward to the movie despite the changes to the line-up and story in general but nothing fucking happened and then the movie ended. They even managed to fuck Sentry up.

>>212861511 (OP)
>So,

>>212863354
They had the exact setup that led to the original Thunderbolts comic, too. Cataclysmic event shakes the world to its core, many of the great heroes are gone, everyone is looking for something to believe in, perfect time for a new hero team.

Yes, they probably couldn't have pulled off the exact "villains pretend to be heroes" plot and they probably told themselves that the premise they came up with was close enough. But it wasn't, it wasn't even a premise. The interesting thing about Thunderbolts is watching criminals try to be heroes, and this wasn't anything.

>>212861561
>and Ilhan Omar was a delight!

keks

>>212862375
It underperformed. Not bad enough to consider it a flop, not good enough to consider it a hit so both sides have plenty of ammo to flame each other. Internationally it bombed. Domestically he did similar numbers to Man of Steel without adjusting for inflation. Man of Steel was released over 10 years ago but inflation doesn't exist so it's not a big deal. And even if inflation does exist it's irrelevant. And even if inflation is relevant Superman 25 is still a box office hit. And even if it isn't a hit Gunn isn't going anywhere so seethe and cope Snyderchud. See you in a year after Superwhore and Clayface bomb.

Oh hi /tv/. I heard you had something to say.

So true sister!

>>212863622
also Man of Steel was a piece of shit that actually lost DC money by poisoning the brand, so positive WOM is worth more than upfront returns.

>>212861511 (OP)
Welp, I’m convinced!! I’m definitely never going watch it!!

>>212863622
>omestically he did similar numbers to Man of Steel without adjusting for inflation
Domestically it's obliterating man of steel, MoS dropped like a ton of bricks after the first weekend this thing is the highest grossing movie on any weekday in 2025. Keep coping mousetranny
