The 42cast Episode 240: BOBbing for Heroes*
Manage episode 489140771 series 2406325

Thunderbolts* was one of the risky ventures that Marvel puts out from time-to-time. Featuring a cast of supporting characters from previous films and series, the story catapults several characters to prominence while doing a fair amount of Marvel world-building and character development. In this episode we go over Thunderbolts*. We talk about the plot of the film and how well it works as a bridge between phases Five and Six. We discuss the characters and how they’re utilized within the story. We also give our opinions on whether this story feels like it has “homework”. We’ll also get into that asterix and whether we think that Marvel dropped the ball on the marketing.
This week’s five-minute controversy asks if it’s a good idea for Marvel to separate the storytelling between their TV and movie lines.
This week Anji, James, and Stephen join the cast.
