Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts marks a confident step into murkier waters, and honestly, that's where the modern MCU tends to shine best. The film brings together a ragtag lineup of antiheroes Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster, and John Walker under the reluctant guidance of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. What follows is a surprisingly introspective, if uneven, character driven story that offers more emotional depth than many recent MCU entries.
