Looks decent and better than a lot of the more recent MCU. But I can't stand Florence Pugh's accent, should have let her speak in her native British or an American accent, her sister is the same Russian super-assassin and has an American accent.

Bob is Sentry

Yeah i'm pretty pumped to say the least. For Bob more so than the movie itself.

Bob's true super-power is all about him being shoehorned into stories that would do much better without him.

watched this this morning


looks decent so hopefully some amazing feats

I'm almost mad it's not "Bob, Agent of Hydra".

That was his biggest problem because there were so many storylines he could have just easily taken care of himself. Instead you had writers trying to write him out of the story so it could proceed and many times it was just by silly means.

Keep dreaming.

He is an agoraphobic schizophrenic that can't even wipe himself properly.

They need to come up a good reason why Sentry even needs these weaklings.

More than likely he's "Bob" for most of the movie and has no idea he's Sentry. He'll either transform sporadically or in the final act and after the T-Bolts try to fight him qnd get mopped up, he ends up leaving to figure out who he truly is. There's no way they can make it make sense that any of them can even tickle his nose.

This trailer is 3.6 roentgen.

He is insane and scared of his own shadow - he can't plan, he can't focus, he can't do anything without others instructing him on what to do.

I completely forgot that Bob was in this until the trailer. Really hope they don't make him the big bad and the Thunderbolts somehow beat him in the end. I know he was in the group under Norman Osborn's Iron Patriot run up until the Siege crossover, maybe he'll actually last and not be an MCU one-off villian?

MCU's been moving in a positive direction since the constant flops. I don't think they'd be dumb enough to throw away the potential money that Sentry could bring in by having him be a one-off.

More than likely, Val Fontaine has found a way to control him and is using him as an enforcer(we see multiple Sentry logo designs and spreadsheets that show potential hairstyles and hair cclors which makes it seem like they're field testing their new sponsored hero. We also see his actual belt buckle and what appears to see transformed Sentry walking down the steps where they meet up in the penthouse), and wants to see if the T-Bolts can function as a team with Sentry at the center. That's why they get set up to meet and escape the room and go out of their way to keep protecting Bob, even though he's already bulletproof in his human form.

It'll probably lead to a Dark Avengers type thing. So he'll be the bad guy, but under the thumb of the real bad guy and either end the movie off fully under her control, or breaking free and flying off to get his head on straight while the MCU builds up and finds a place for him to return to.

When your as powerful as he is, you dont really need to.

Lol, another example of silly writing so the story can go on.

Not really. It's just Sentry being Sentry.

Getting wtfpwned on a regular basis is his whole thing.

https://i.ibb.co/YPz6zbM/ih128.png

Post all the silly stuff you want to (don't forget Hammond Torch, She-Hulk, Namor, and the Sears Building too), while everybody knows his potential when he's not messing around (Genis, Collector, Terrax, Molecule Man).

That "silly stuff" is the vast majority of Bob's appearances.

He got more of those in the recent years, too.

That's the price one pays for being shoehorned into continuity and being shoved down the fans' throats.

https://i.ibb.co/fq0ddss/RCO010-1469462753.jpg

Stilt will support DCU Superman against MCU Sentry.

Help us all

Superman is a ****ing pussy, he's even worse.

So it's settled, Sentry is a scrub who's gonna scrub

That's the price one pays for being shoehorned into continuity and being shoved down the fans' throats. Pretty much. He's such "Original character donut steal" douchebag and his first series that introduced him was so insufferable in how much it shilled him and his importance that writers who weren't unhealthily in love with the character decided to make him a punk. Which is awesome.

Bob is Sentry

The accent is a subtle, subconscious issue that shows the difference between the two. Though both were Black Widows, Natasha's greatest strength was as a spy and infiltrator who can fit in wherever she goes. Yelena is not as skilled in that way she's really just a hardcore assassin who comes into town to kill someone, does the job, and leaves. We see the hallway fight in the trailer, and we see the difference between the two as Yelena finishes them off with shots to the head, while Natasha would do hers non-lethaly.

Bob is going to save them from the bomb. I wish they would show that.

^^^Whatever happened to GOOD trailers? The ones that give away EVERYTHING!

Damn, the enemy soldiers got that Storm Trooper aim. But at least they actually seem to be doing Bucky justice again for a change.

I'm excited for this one. (obvious I know)

I watched the trailer for this and it looks mediocre at best.

Although did they actually do some real car stunts? I'm so tired of Marvel green screen and CGI.

this looks fairly good so hoping lots pf good feats

New trailer has a clip of Sentry floating down with something glowing on his chest. I'm pumped for this.

Going for Pugh staying for Sentry

Looks as though Sentry and the Void are the villians. Him just flattening people on the street is crazy. Can't wait for this movie.

p3-T7XmXGIA&t=145s

Bad jokes and everything is grey.

This look awful.

Sentry will probably be a villain, then it turns out he's just misunderstood and becomes a hero.

I'm fine with that. Might get some Dark Avengers out of it.

it's gonna be all this buildup just to find out that sentry and void are actually the same guy and bob is just a hardcore nutjob with split personalities. in the end sentry will "kill" void, then we'll get a post credit scene indicating that void survived.

they should have waited to reveal sentry in a bigger way. not in the ****ing thunderbolts lol.

I'm just surprised that they are visiting some of his exotic powers. I thought they would just make him super strong like Superman.

Lmao of course Sentry/Void's story will be obvious for us. That's not really the focus of this movie though. But it is nice they're bringing him into the MCU with this.

I really hope he doesn't have Heat Vision. I hate it when they copy Superman's powers to that extent.

He does in comics, but rarely uses it.

Plenty of exotic powers to choose from in this case, without resorting to "just another clone of that dumb farmboy" routine.

I mean I guess Silver Surfer can technically use his powers to emit heat vision.

But yes my issue would be if it's seen as one of his primary abilities. Like a go to ability.

Just saw The Sentry scene fighting the Thunderbolts. Yeah i'm pumped.

Seen it. Pretty good, my only gripe is the trailers pretty much gave the whole film away.

But there was some depth to it that trailer's can't give you. Great chemistry between the characters. Sentry was pretty dope but you know, his powers are just Superman's with a couple of extras. But his story obviously completely different to Kal's

Saw this today.. I liked it. The humor hot... it got serious when needed. Guy would've liked how Bob was done. It's clearly Florence Pugh's film. Can't wait to see more of Bob.

What a fun movie!

No complaints here. Loved the post credits scene.

3.6 roentgen.

Not great, not terrible.

^^^LOL

That said, his overall powerset has always been ambiguously tied to some form of subconscious/esoteric matter manipulation, and allows him to do virtually anything he wants(we caught a glimpse of that with Void)... But yeah, Bob is a legit walking plot-device in comics, so I can only assume the MCU will continue using him in that kind of capacity(ie. when he finally enters the fray, you know shit is about to go down.) Should be fun to see.

It makes sense. They had to get the FF into the main MCU continuity somehow since First Steps takes place in an alternate timeline as well as
5 decades in the past. They probably leave Earth in the process of being devoured to find help. Or its destroyed and theyre the sole survivors.

But given that we know RDJ/God Doom is on the horizon, I'd be absolutely shocked if he weren't teased/revealed in First Steps, and potentially the reason why the F4 fled their universe... Perhaps Reed already knew about the sacred timeline and just went there reflexively, or maybe his sensors were able to lock onto Bob's massive energy signature, so the F4 went there to recruit the strongest heroes or w/e(of which Bob undoubtedly IS.) /shrug

Anyway, the movie itself was better than I thought it would be, but still far from great. I am curious to see how this phase of the MCU continues from here, though.

Really good imo. Thunderbolts and FF4 will be a return to form for the MCU.

Pugh and Pullman were great

I think he does know about the sacred timeline. Or at least suspects. There's that scene where they show a wormhole on his blackboard, which I'm assuming will play a role in how they escape into the mainlineverse. And Doom could be revealed to be the reason Galactus is drawn to Earth in the first place. Reed places the blame on himself for the accident that turned them into the FF, but it's Doom doing some technomagic in Latveria, playing with forces he doesn't understand or something. Or just to spite Reed because Doom is an S-Tier hater.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. One of the best MCU flicks of the past few years, and it's nice to see people have to be creative to win a fight. You can't punch every problem. Also, Sentry looked great and the all black effect of Void was chefs kiss.

I was actually a bit skeptical when I first saw the actor they cast as Bob, but he was actually perfect for the role... And now that Sentry has been introduced, the MCU now has access to one of the most broken dues ex machinas imaginable(enough to potentially outstrip even the Wanda-haxx, depending on what direction they opt to go with Bob)... Which is wild to think about, lol. Bob is like the ultimate K9: get him focused, point him at a problem(no matter how big), and just say "go".

And as OP as he is, his weakness is always valid. Whenever you point Sentry at a problem, you risk The Void making an appearance so they can't use him willy nilly, which means he stays viable and doesn't become an instant fix for every problem going forward.

Exactly. And that's what I appreciate about Bob.

You might only need a bullet, but end up with a nuke.

Liked it, but a upper mid tier MCU film imo. Phase 5 did overall improve over the mostly shitshow of Phase 4.

They should have spent more time with Sentry instead of his dark half, that sequence went on way too long imo.

Red Guardian's humor got old to me pretty quick.

I enjoyed this film a lot. Definitely one of the best films of the new phase, and although not as good as the first GOTG, I think it's on par with the second one, which is still a high bar. Yelena was a good protagonist, but I think David Harbour definitely stole the show as the most likeable character. Sentry was an absolutely beast, and Void was a horror film-level nightmare. Walker was good, but his character seemed more two dimensional than the others, and Ghost was relatively fun as well, but she could have used more characterization compared to the others. Valentina was your standard corrupt political villain, but she did seem more clever than the usual ones, and Dreyfus brought her classic comedic chops to the role. Bucky was great as usual, and I liked how his scene in the desert seemed like a nod to the Terminator. Can't wait to see more of this team and their collaboration with other MCU heroes. I think Bob and Hulk will get along well considering that they are both mentally damaged loners with unstoppable alter ego that they have to suppress. Speaking of Hulk, this is the second MCU film in a row that features a villain that is a sympathetic mentally unstable person who has a WMD-level Mr. Hyde-esque dark side. This film definitely gets a 8/10, and I think that between this, FF, and BNW (which I personally liked), it seems like the MCU is on track to have a good year.

One question I did have was how did Red Guardian and Bucky find the group in the desert? Red Guardian came out of nowhere with his limo and Bucky did essentially the same with his motorcycle. The group had just gotten out of a car crash and were in the middle of a car chase respectively, so IDK how they got tracked down so easily. Also, I was somewhat disappointed with Taskmaster's quick death. Her involvement in the film felt like false advertising as she is heavily featured in the marketing despite not even making it past the first act of the film, and wasn't really necessary, not to mention they could have definitely given her a more dignified death, preferably a sacrifice, and the characters essentially laugh off her death and forget about it right after it happens. A sad waste of a potentially interesting character imo

That would be pretty dark. Im guessing they save their world but thrown into another one in the process. Kinda like how Captain America the First Avenger ended.

It's called New Avengers now. Rename the thread pls.

Well s*** they actually did that.

*New Avengers.

For a company that usually can't hold water in a bucket, it's impressive they managed to keep the reason for "Thunderbolts*" secret until the movie was out.

*Yup.

Pfft, I knew that way back in like 2022.

So is this good? Should I go see it in the theater?

How does it compare to say, the Black Widow movie or the Captain America movies?

Its good.

Go see it.

Better than Black Widow and Brave New World.

I just re-watched Captain America: the First Avenger. I enjoyed it a lot more now than I did initially in the theater. How does it compare to that?

Fair enough.

Yeah, I have a friend who said this is from the writer of a show called BEEF on Netflix and for that reason he has higher hopes for it.

Plus it's getting some decent reviews, so I might bite.

Fair enough. It's basically between this and Sinners. I'm trying to decide which one to go to.

^ Yes, that is the great dilemma!

I actually saw this today. Haha, and I hope to see Sinners also. So hopefully best of both worlds.

I enjoyed this, but I wasn't expecting it to be so heavy in theme. So I wouldn't exactly call it a "fun" movie. So it's kind of odd that Marvel is using this as a way of reinvigorating their "Avengers" spark. I give them credit for sort of spoofing themselves by calling them "The New Avengers."

^^^Yeah, it -was- a little heavy but man compared to Sinners *Thunderbolts is freaking Happy Gilmore!

Well, yeah. I mean, I'm expecting some heavy elements with Sinners given the name and that's it's a horror movie.

^^^Agreed!

Still, isn't that whats cool about comics? That there can be heavy stuff mixed in w. all the action and absurdity?

That's true, I guess. I guess I just wasn't expecting it. And it's cool, though, because not many movies deal with such themes, at least not in the big budget action genre. "Smile" was about mental illness/depression, too, I'd say, but it's a horror movie.

And yeah, that girl in Smile was already dealing w. some isdues that would come back to bite her in the ass before the horror adpect ever kicked in.
