Thunderbolts Breaks MCU’s Bad Trend: A Game-Changer You Didn’t See Coming!

BBG News

Initially perceived as an insignificant addition with little impact on the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Thunderbolts has surprisingly transformed into one of the most captivating and enjoyable movies within the Multiverse Saga. This remarkable shift is largely attributed to its intricate story details. At first glance, it appeared as if the movie would merely serve as a distraction from the main narrative; however, upon its release, this prediction was proven incorrect.

Indeed, the film turned out to be remarkably similar to “Guardians of the Galaxy,” introducing a fresh and unconventional group of heroes that brought laughter and enjoyment throughout. Additionally, it achieved elements that seemed conspicuously absent from the entirety of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Saga. Watching and rewatching “Thunderbolts” has only increased my anticipation for what lies ahead in the MCU.

The MCU Has Often Left Addressing The Events Of Its Movies For Several Years

The MCU’s Easter Eggs Sometimes Take Years To Pay Off

Since the early days of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), there have been subtle elements woven into each film that were not explored or explained for several years. For instance, in the first Iron Man movie, the Ten Rings organization was only revisited much later in Iron Man 3, but even then, it turned out to be a disguise; the real story behind this group wasn’t delved into until the release of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Similarly, characters like The Leader were introduced in The Incredible Hulk, but their return wasn’t seen until more than a decade later in Captain America: Brave New World.

In the MCU, it’s become common practice to establish stories that might not bear fruit until over a decade has passed. This is particularly true in the Multiverse Saga, where things often feel disconnected and vague, leaving us with more questions than answers. However, the approach taken in Thunderbolts was distinctly different, offering a level of engagement and excitement that was truly captivating.

Thunderbolts* Immediately Addressing The Aftermath Of Captain America: Brave New World (& Setting Up The Fantastic Four: First Steps) Avoids This Issue In A Big Way

Thunderbolts* Connects To Multiple MCU Projects In Meaningful Ways

In Thunderbolts*, there are numerous connections and allusions to the happenings of Captain America: Brave New World, a film released during the same year. Notably, Bucky is now serving as a congressman, an event previously mentioned in Brave New World. Moreover, it’s suggested that the President has transformed into the Red Hulk and is currently imprisoned, a detail also hinted at in Thunderbolts*. Additionally, Bucky discusses his attempts to reach out to Sam Wilson, following the establishment of his own Avengers team, which seems to be in conflict with The New Avengers.

First Steps” and “Avengers: Doomsday,” which are scheduled to release shortly after this movie and around 14 months later, respectively.

I’m So Glad Thunderbolts* Is Such An Interconnected MCU Movie

Thunderbolts* Raised The Bar In The Multiverse Saga

Initially, as the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) was being constructed, certain clues or references, known as Easter Eggs, were subtly planted in the movies to foreshadow larger tales yet to unfold, like the Thunderbolts saga*. Yet, beyond these Easter Eggs, scenes that linked the films together were also incorporated. For instance, Stark made a surprise appearance at the end of The Incredible Hulk, and Nick Fury encountered Captain America towards the end of Captain America: The First Avenger. Collectively, these interconnected scenes contributed to a more unified and interwoven universe that was progressing towards grander narratives.

*Note: Thunderbolts is a fictional superhero team appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. It’s not confirmed whether this specific storyline will be included in the MCU.

Due to the immense expansion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe following the events of “Avengers: Endgame,” the Multiverse Saga has faced challenges in weaving together all these intricate storylines. However, with “Thunderbolts” connecting seamlessly with other films releasing around it, it seems like a crucial piece of a larger narrative puzzle. This integration, in turn, makes “Thunderbolts” more satisfying and enjoyable compared to many other stories within the Multiverse Saga.
