I can't help but compare this team to The Suicide Squad's lineup.

That team had Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Rick Flag, Ratcatcher, King Shark, Polka Dot Man, and Harley. A diverse group that's a mix of fan favorites and obscure characters, all with their own unique abilities. The closest thing to overlap is Bloodsport, Peacemaker, and Rick since they all use firearms but they all use it in different ways and very stand out from each other.

Meanwhile, this team has 3 Captain Americas, Black Widow 2.0, Someone Whose Entire Shtick is Copying Other People's Powers, and Ghost. This team isn't just full of overlap, it repeats stuff already done by other teams and is mostly just full of white people who use different forms of hand to hand combat and only one nonwhite person (coming from a white person myself)

I think they were also gonna have Red Hulk too but the actor for Ross died so they shelved that.

The multiple Cap stuff works from the continued angle of a bunch of people and countries wanting to have their own Super Soldiers they can control but it's still boring from a team diversity stand point.

I mean I agree he died, but like every mcu video or discussion on the movie will go, bring him back again. So marvel could just say screw it.

True about Namor, but by that logic, even though I believe Deadpool has been sort of them previously, Deadpool should also canonically be to string for that time given his ability to not die. I guess they could bring back the collars from the second film but then he would have no powers and be kinda pointless.

Songbird absolutely should have been introduced here. I don’t see why they wouldn’t want at least one new character here.
Nah Deadpool's still able to get tossed about by street level heroes and recoil from gunshots and the like, he isn't casually wrestling with The Thing or shrugging off bullets like Namor does. Plus they can play into him being an unreliable wild card

Maybe she hasn't been cast yet because the film is meant to introduce new characters but I'd at least say she's coming if that's the case.

Man I uh. Don't know how to feel about a Jewish actor portraying a character called The Leader in a movie that shares the name of an antisemitic conspiracy theory
I didn't know there was an antisemitic conspiracy theory by that name. Either way they also have a Jewish actress in a heroic role so I doubt this was intentional

kinda nice how Thunderbolts has been aiming to use more heroes in the team over the years…like the current one

First they brought the Tim Roth's Abomination back, it is great to see Tim Blake Nelson finally making a long awaited return where he finally becomes the Leader.

Man, its also great to see Ghost make a comeback since her last appearance on Ant-Man & the Wasp, but other than that great to see Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova being the leader of the Thunderbolts. Still hope to see her character further interact with Kate Bishop in the future.
I wonder how Leader and Ghost will be implemented for their returns. Mostly wanting to know how he got out of the raft after all these years.
I think the only actual super soldier on that team is Bucky. Red Guardian and US Agent are just Cap wannabes by design.

Still, disappointing.
a full super soldier, mostly a super soldier, Russian Cap, a mentally and physically ****ed up Taskmaster who better get redemption from Black Widow, a woman who got cured of quantum pain, a regular Black Widow who forgave bow man, and a Valentina Allegra Fontaine
Who says there isn’t an end tease fir him in she hulk?
true, but so far it feels like the final post credit will end up being used to segway into Echo, assuming Daredevil is also in that project
Nah Killmonger explicitly died and Namor's generally on much stronger teams like some X-Men iterations or being forced into Dr Strange's defenders.
They should introduce Songbird and bring in Deadpool
Deadpool should focus on recreating the X-Force instead

I'm done ranting about the Thunderbolts, I said everything I had to say on the subject

Anyway I'm actually somewhat interested in Captain America 4, it's gonna have an Israeli superheroine and The Leader

I don't think it leads to echo, but instead it will probably set up Skar and world war hulk at the very least. Unless that’s in an actual episode and not post credit.

Holy crap! Disney's upcoming film Wish is gonna be the first 2-D animated film since The Princess and the Frog!

This actually can't be happening. Holy ****! Traditional 2-D animated films could be coming back to films like them, DreamWorks and such!

perhaps it can do both if they have a mid and post credit scene, cause having some sort of detail on what Hulk is doing would be nice (unless everything happens offscreen)

The concept is cool.

It’s the origins of the wishing star that shows up in pretty much every Disney movie.

Does this mean the worlds are connected 🤔

I decided to start getting back into Death Battle especially knowing at the end of the day it isn't really an end-to-it-all debate and thus shouldn't take too seriously.

That said this is currently one of my most wanted matches.



King K. Rool (Donkey Kong) vs. Blackbeard (One Piece)

Battle of the overweight but very strong pirate leaders.

Some of my most wanted Death Battles I want to see.

Atrocitus vs. Asura (More likely they'll probably bring Broly back to fight him)
King Ghidorah vs. Ridley
King K. Rool vs. Blackbeard

Thinking about it, if Marvel wanted to make a suicide squad team, they should go all out.

Put him on the thunderbolts:

Every team needs an animal member and this would be great. Have everyone question and how and why the hell a monkey is here, and then for Bucky this is just a normal Tuesday.
