The OG Thunderbolts comic written by Kurt Busiek and drawn by Mark Bagley was one of the best comics that Marvel produced in the 90s. The later versions were OK but never were as good as the original to me and the twist of all the characters being Avengers villains in disguise was shocking in the comics but would be far less so considering the MCU has really not spent any time building up villains like that.
Atlas my nicca and then hawkeye led squad too :banderas:

I think that 90's team would work in a TV series because they could start with them being Heroes and end with the reveal near the end of the season. The only other team I could maybe see on TV would be the Cage led team in jail and then they could have him do the epic beat down of Purple man and the escape from the raft. If Marvel did it right they could probably do both as a Season 1 & Season 2 type deal.

If Marvel is really thinking ahead they could maybe do some sort of Dark avengers based around Osborn being in charge of Shield. However idk if they are that down with tying a Spiderman character to their Netflix shows.

this is fine as i like the thunderbolts. and most of these character were actually members of the thunderbolts at one point or another.
Seems like they are using abomination as a stand in for red hulk which is understandable since red hulks actor died. Tim roth a better actor anyway.

Tatania the only other one who never was part of the roster. Probably added her for more female representation. Although that seems unnecessary since Ghost and Taskmaster are both female in the MCU. Half the team being women antiheroes... definitely gonna have some birds of prey type scenes in this movie. might be trash like that movie then
