Nerds at the Cool Table

We assemble to break down Marvel’s latest entry, Thunderbolts, diving into its themes, character arcs, and the emotional weight carried by its ensemble cast. We explore how the film tackles mental health, the shifting dynamics within this new team of anti-heroes, and the implications of its explosive post-credit scene. The conversation touches on concerns around spoilers, the potential formation of a new Avengers lineup, and what Thunderbolts signals for the future of the MCU—especially with teases involving Sentry's capabilities, this new collection of heroes, and the highly anticipated Fantastic Four. We also discuss where Marvel currently stands and how this film might reset the tone heading into the next phase.
