I say it is about time we get some dark Marvel films like Thunderbolts*. Whereas I used to be by no means a fan of a dark and gritty therapy given to say, Superman, over at the Warners’ DCEU, I am far more versatile in relation to Marvel Studios and their characters. As a result of Marvel Comics has prided itself on representing “the world outdoors your window,” and I do not find out about you, however that view is wanting fairly grim nowadays. Look, I am a longtime fan of Bucky Barnes. I have not spent all this time and emotion over the years studying and watching his tales as a result of he skips via a grassy subject singing songs. I am right here to endure (emotionally).
With this in thoughts, Kevin Feige mentioned in an interview with Marvel Entertainment that Thunderbolts*’ deal with matters like psychological sickness and bodily harm arises from a want to maneuver the way forward for the MCU ahead. “That is our thirty-sixth film, and we attempt to evolve, and we attempt to develop, we attempt to preserve doing various things, and we additionally, as I at all times say, look to the comics,” Feige mentioned. When requested what he hopes fans will get from Jake Schreier’s movie, Feige mentioned that he was wanting ahead to them “seeing one thing a bit of extra deep, a bit of extra significant which may contact them in a method they have not felt earlier than.”
On condition that director Jake Schreier’s lately shared to Collider that the movie’s character design for The Void was impressed by shadows left behind by victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I might say that Feige’s evaluation of Thunderbolts* is warranted. I do not even suppose I have the phrases for the way that may make me really feel once I see The Void onscreen. If Thunderbolts manages to hit its characters’ emotional beats with depth and dignity, then Schreier and Marvel Studios’s huge inventive swing will repay immensely.
