Because I work in a nerd-adjacent field, I’ve been asked a lot over the last few weeks whether I was going to go and see Thunderbolts, and every time I’m asked I give the same answer: lol absolutely not.

    This opinion is over the top… I find myself to be a casual fan. I don’t really watch the trailers, or lookup theories. I barely read the comics as a kid either, like stated in this article, but i did know enough of most characters because I was a kid and grew up being exposed to them one way or another. I still enjoy them to a degree. There is way more hit or miss these days, but I don’t find myself overwhelmed by it all either. Maybe I’ll look one or 2 things up after the movie if I forgot or ask one of my friends who are way more into comics and pretty much know what’s probably coming.

    This one part in the article tells me they spent way to much time thinking about it. “Every hour of the last three years that I would have been stuffing Marvel slop into my brain I’ve instead been doing quite literally anything else, from playing with my kids to helping run a website to watching, gasp, other types of movies.” Like who is not playing with their kids or getting work done because of a hobby? Sounds way more like a bad obsession and probably best that they stepped away. It’s still solid entertainment if you choose not to take it so seriously.
