There Is No Getting Back On This Ride - Aftermath

It's not cinema, it's user retention

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.

    Only siths deal in absolutes.

    You, and everyone who’s ever liked a Marvel movie, should go and watch this one because it’s definitely on the good side of MCU movies. It’s very refreshing in several ways.

    I understand that the MCU has been bad to mediocre after Endgame. There are some things here and there that were good. But when it comes to movies… (I don’t count Spider-man nor Deadpool because those are fun meta movies that play a different game) yep, all movies have been cheap cashgrabs… Until we got Thunderbolts.

    Do not kill the possibility for you to enjoy a new MCU movie just because.

      I have a soft spot for martial arts films but, imo, Thunderbolts is the best MCU film since Shang-Chi (2021) and maybe since Endgame (2019).

      (Also excluding Spider-Man and Deadpool)
