How do you rate Thunderbolts*?

Well, there's an obnoxious question (with white supremacist undertones!) that lives down to its writer's avatar. :ack:
it was an obvious joke, and what in the fuck does it have to do with white supremacy? Endgame ENDED the story, and I stopped watching, because it was a satisfying ending. WTF is wrong with you?

I also stopped watching the arrowverse after Crisis for the same reason.

Endgame ended that part of the story. The MCU is a continuing Universe.

Did you stop watching Star Trek after Star Trek 6 too?
 
It could have ended there. But there was no way they would stop with all that money yet to be made...
Have comics stopped being made?

I reduced my watching quite a bit. Endgame is a great, um, ending, and it really didn't prompt me to go further. After it, I didn't go watch the Marvel productions. They were not must see in any way.

There's a different feel to the universe post Endgame. What I've watched is enjoyable but it never feels like it's building towards anything. It's just standalone stories.
 
What's that? Actual Thunderbolts* content? And a new HISHE video? Crazzzzy!

The video does point out a pretty big problem with the New Avengers: They are all a bunch of killers. Why would the public suddenly accept them, even after they seemingly just saved the day.

...although...what does the public even know about what that team did to reverse the effects of the Void? One moment, they're nullified and presumingly dealing with their respective shame rooms, the next moment, they're back to wherever they were the moment before, none the wiser.

I say all of that as someone who is still a massive fan of the film, but the logic in the climax doesn't really work. But this isn't the first time a superhero film has worked on similarly flimsy logic for apparent public knowledge and perspective. Tangentially, one of the things I loved the most about Agents of SHIELD was how it actually addressed public perception of our heroes in action (at least in the first half of the series before things went sideways for the characters).

*I guess I should rename the thread The New Avengers at this point. But, honestly...I prefer Thunderbolts*.

I hate the 24th century, so I wish I had. I never finished DS9 and I didn't even get through one season of Voyager. TNG is garbage after season 3. Lol.

There are lots of TV shows I stop watching when it comes to a satisfactory stopping place, because I know that going forward will probably be a waste. If everything gets wrapped up properly there is usually no where to go but down from there.
 
Most of the MCU's stories centered on non-white characters have come after Endgame, and those who glorify the rapist sociopath-in-chief don't get the benefit of the doubt re: racism. But, go on crying; it's hilarious. :rommie:

You are ridiculous. Go back to the neutral zone and leave your garbage politics there.
 
So, back to the discussion of Thunderbolts*...
Overall I found the movie quite entertaining. I was just a bit miffed that they
brought back Taskmaster after four years just to get beertrucked in short order. :rolleyes:

Generations turned me off to the franchise until Star Trek continues brought me back into the fold, so there is another reason I should have stopped at Star Trek 6.
