Watched Thunderbolts*

And it was...alright. I know I was more enthusiastic about it being its named after the Marvel comics title whose group was a favorite of mine and the movie includes characters like USAgent who is also a cult favorite of mine being such an anti-hero with the coolest Captain America variant costume, along with Sentry who was a surprising addition, but after watching it I felt a bit indifferent for the most part.
I guess I'm finally getting burnout from all these comic superhero movies, and Marvel seems to just copy and paste the "comedic schtick" since the Avengers movie eons ago, which is running a tad dry with every entry. Not to mention it tries pretty hard to be a The Suicide Squad equivalent here, as if anyone who ever watched it hasn't noticed.
However it did had its moments, and Sentry as the main villain was interesting. Liked the weasely Congress person acting it up as well all the way playing for her own profit. As politicians often do in the real world.
But most of the film just flew by me sincerely. Kinda wished they would had sticked with the comic a whole lot more and have THE actual Thunderbolts here, but I can imagine it would not had worked. I mean, Zemo is dead in that "universe" for starters.
Do I wish for a sequel or spinoff from here? No, not really. I bet however Disney is already prodding Marvel to do so however. That mouse is greedy.
I'm still not watching "Brave New World" though. Even with Red Hulk briefly appearing on it wouldn't get my interest
