Thunderbolts Has Arrived, and Marvel Fans Are Loving Every Second, see their reactions
A surprise twist in Marvel’s cinematic journey, Thunderbolts, launched in theatres on May 1, is winning over fans with its ragtag line-up of antiheroes. From timelines to fan threads, the buzz is loud, proud, and overwhelmingly positive.
About Thunderbolts
With a tone reminiscent of DC’s edgier team films, Thunderbolts boldly rewrites the Marvel formula. Gone are the classic caped crusaders in their place stands a team of flawed, reluctant antiheroes like Yelena Belova and Bucky Barnes, forced to rise to the occasion.
Dragged into the fray by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, the team has no say in the matter. Compelled to act, they’re forced to reckon with their own dark histories while trying to stop a looming disaster.
The internet Buzzing With Praise
With critics citing superhero fatigue, Thunderbolts offers a surprising return to form that’s resonating with long-time fans. A user on X praised a standout moment, saying,
“The void rescue scene in Thunderbolts is everything a superhero movie should be. It hits hard because the story earns it by investing in the characters first.”
One fan gushed, “#Thunderbolts was amazing! It’s easily the most relatable film in the MCU, had me tearing up with how it tackled loneliness.” The praise continued with another fan stating, “#Thunderbolts is the revitalization the MCU needed. Not once did it feel like green screen work—it felt real, and that’s huge.”
It’s actually pretty crazy how the Thunderbolts feel more like a family than the fucking Avengers ever did pic.twitter.com/eWemPynczI

Didn’t know I was gonna say this about a Marvel movie ever, but! THUNDERBOLTS FEEL GOOD TRIGGER WARNING! If you have a mental illness, you will feel seen on a level you haven’t felt since WandaVision. It will make you cry in a sad way, immediately followed by in a cathartic way.

The movie’s emotional depth, especially in its portrayal of mental health, has struck a chord with many. One fan wrote, “The mental health depiction is heartbreakingly real, especially for a character like Yelena who’s been through so much.”
Fans of Ghost also had a moment to celebrate, with one commenting, “I couldn’t stop smiling seeing Ghost in #Thunderbolts again, she absolutely shines! It’s time for everyone to see how cool she truly is!”

Marvel’s bet on a darker, grittier group dynamic seems to be paying off. With a seamless blend of action, emotion, and character exploration, Thunderbolts is reminding fans what drew them to the MCU in the first place, even with its flawed, baggage-laden heroes.
