Thunderbolts Feels Like Group Therapy in the MCU
Thunderbolts brings Marvel’s beloved anti-heroes together with a focus on grief, redemption, and trauma. The theater filled with cheers, but something didn’t land.

The post-credits scene caused a stir, but the final standout moment came from the credits themselves — friends’ names on screen. #Thunderbolts #MCU2025 #MarvelReview #ReelPete #ThunderboltsReaction
