Was practicing some traditional today. I actually like traditional far, far better than digital (for a number of reasons but I won't get into that. No on wants to listen to that rant ha).

Marvel's Atlas, from the Thunderbolt comics. He's my second favorite of all time in the marvel universe. He was sketched, transfered, lined, and then inked.

Look I’m not saying the MCU version of the Thunderbolts will be bad

What I am saying is that it will never be able to live up to the absolutely iconic first run where a load of villains decided to pretend to be heroes to take over the world only to find they actually liked being heroes

The MCU could never do anything like that

Stan Lee, ahead of the curve. In 1965, he pretty much thought of The Thunderbolts in this throwaway line in Avengers #22 (I still haven't read past the 60s and 70s, but I looked up the thunderbolts for this):

In fact, this was downright prophetic. Because Power Man here ends up being one of the original thunderbolts (I looked it up). Stan Lee, prophet extraordinaire!

*sigh*

After Marvel announced the the lineup for the Thunderbolts movie a week ago, I needed some time to compose my thoughts. Short version: I don't like it.

I'm already seeing the usual discourse about whether the movie is "too woke" (???) and whether putting Bucky Barnes in the team screws up various ships and headcanons. Meanwhile the people who played themselves into thinking Justin Hammer was guaranteed to be in this film (???) are crying in their drinks. I just want to be clear that my problem with the movie isn't related to any of that nonsense.

I started reading the Thunderbolts comic book the day it came out 25 years ago. I loved it. That sort of thing doesn't happen to me very often, so when I do go so hard for something, it's a big deal to me. So I never liked it when Marvel Comics would rework Thunderbolts to be a generic team book, featuring whatever characters happen to be cool or convenient to the story they want to tell. The general trend is that the original cast have been overshadowed by more popular characters passing through, until now they never seem to get to do anything anymore. It got harder and harder for me to enjoy my favorite comic, until I couldn't anymore.

By 2013 it was impossible to predict what a Thunderbolts movie would be about because the general message of the source material was "do whatever you want, it doesn't matter." I can't say I expected to get what I wanted. I hoped I might. But I didn't really expect it, after years of the comics dicking me around. And now that the movie is about to be the main thing people associate with the brand, I doubt I'll ever get what I want from Marvel, in any form.

I'm not going to be able to enjoy this movie. (Which is a shame, because I probably would enjoy it if they named it literally anything else.) That said, my choices are to whine about it for the rest of my life or get past it. So I'm going to move on.

But here's the deal: I'm not the only one in OG Thunderbolts fandom who feels this way. I know it might seem like a dead fandom, but since I've always been here I always see the rest of you, even if you're just passing through. Maybe you read the old comics. Maybe you got into MCU Zemo and you were hoping he could do what he did in the comics. Maybe you're a Moonstone fan from when Dark Reign was a thing, or you just think Songbird looks neat. Or maybe you just like some of the later characters that weren't big names (like Radioactive Man or Boomerang or Centurius or Satana), who haven't been up to much lately. The point is, you're not the only one, and I want to hear from you.

Because I may be moving on, but I'm not going anywhere.
