THUNDERBOLTS*
Thunderbolts* released in cinemas, will the MCU succeed in electrifying audiences?
My husband, my son and I went into the theatre hoping to see a Marvel movie that could interrupt the drift of recent years.
Thunderbolts* name inspired by an anecdote told in a scene.
But the asterisk?
The asterisk brings the film full circle, as if it were a palindrome.
Originally in fact the title of the film was *The New Avengers.
But *The New Avengers become Thunderbolts* by their very nature, they are not actually classic superheroes.
Not Super Not Heroes
Yelena Belova = Black Widow
James Buchanan Barnes = Bucky – Winter Soldier
Alexei Shostakov = Red Guardian
John Walker = U.S. Agent
Antonia Dreykov = Taskmaster
Ava Starr = Ghost
and then Bob i.e. Robert Reynolds = Sentry
Bob encompasses strength and fragility, simplicity and complication, naughtiness and goodness, with a nerdy air about him.
The actor who embodies Bob is Lewis Pullman.
Yes: Pullman son of Bill, memorable performer of various loser roles.
Do you remember any of the films Bill Pullman starred in?
The resemblance made me smile.
But Bob embodies the dark abyss of the burden of life that deflects the movie into something extremely difficult to portray.
I particularly liked Florence Pugh for the way she mixed depression and irony.
On the other hand, David Harbour is pumped, as well as businesslike 🙂
So is Thunderbolts* electrifying?
My husband is not entirely convinced, for my son it’s a yes, and what do you think?
