@MarvelSharky Yeah, I mean, that's an appeal to majority, which isn't an argument. There's plenty of content that the masses enjoy that I think are objectively awful, even if Thunderbolts doesn't fall into that specific camp.
I just thought of the plot was so clearly a misfit for the characters. A storyline involving a character as powerful as the Sentry would be more fitting for a hero like Doctor Strange, or Thor. Placing these fairly ordinary heroes in this context doesn't make a lot of sense, not because they're not a match for him (since that almost always ends up being the case anyway), but because they're not even in the same ballpark. A film involving a conflict with a crime organization, or even a retread into familiar territory with something like a super soldier threat, would have been a much better fit. The characters would have been utilized more efficiently in that scenario, and would have also provided plenty of great action scenes. I just don't understand why the writers took the route they did.
@IronWidowMaikuB Claiming that Thunderbolts is no different than the Winter Soldier is simply insane. You've got to do some sort of comparison analysis, because I would love to hear how they have even close to the same level of depth.
As for the therapy being for Yelena as well, that's all well and good, but my main issue is with the plot, and the relevance that moment had to the plot was to prevent Sentry from doing whatever he was doing, thereby releasing his alter ego? In essence, the only two things the Thunderbolts did that had a significant impact on the plot were to free Bob from his containment chamber, and then to hug him out of his... whatever he was doing. I just still think it's such a waste of what the characters could have done.
