Why Are Fans Overlooking Thunderbolts’ Familiar MCU Flaws?

The widespread praise for the movie indicates a change in perspectives towards the interwoven storyline spanning 54 films and series since “Iron Man” was released in 2008, collectively known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

However, with “Eternals,” “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” and “The Marvels” underperforming and not recouping their production costs, the MCU can be seen as a casualty of its own success in terms of fan sentiment. This is because unlike other long-running cinematic epics such as “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” or various DC Comics adaptations, the MCU didn’t seem to fade away following the climactic conclusion of “Avengers: Endgame.” Nevertheless, even with concerns, fans express cautious optimism towards “Thunderbolts” despite it incorporating elements that have been criticized in recent Marvel productions.
