Nothing says this film is doing well like changing the title after months of advertisement campaigns.

Bit annoyed at this because I've yet to see it.

Also I feel like it would've been better to keep it as thunderbolts* that way the rename happens during the film as you watch it instead.

Cptn America is suddenly white again and they only mention Steve Rodgers as the previous cptn America.

and 3 of the "new avengers" are russians?

And they all say they have done terrible things and hate themselves, but that whats important is helping people. And at one point Valentina says "when you have been around as long as me you understand theres only bad people and worse people, call me when you want to join the real world"

Sounds like the zionists who titled the last wretched avengers movie 'a new world order' and tried to use 15 minutes of that movie to be a backstory of a new israeli superhero 'sadaf' are still at work at marvel. (until a aflurry of last minute edits that left that movie a wierd hacked together clusterf****)I hope the entire Marvel company goes under along with tesla for parroting far right and zionist ideology.

So if I wanted to watch this now. Am I searching for "New Avengers" or "The Thunderbolts"?

it wasnt a good movie. It wasnt rip roaring fun, it was dumb and tedious, and a waste of 12 dollars.

Hey, don't worry. Apparently, low-effort videogame movies are about to take over for the next 15-20 years, thanks to CHICKEN JOCKEY.

Odd. I think an asterisk in a movie title is pretty eye-catching.

Thunderbolts*

*name temporary

Like the Washington Football Team or Utah Hockey Club, we’re just waiting for the focus group data to refine the name

Patsy’s 70s were even crazier than she can remember.

For anyone confused: this isn’t coming out of nowhere,

minor movie spoiler

it’s just the marketers trying to squeeze attention out of a spoiler at the end of the movie. They want to have their cake and eat it too by teasing the asterisk in the title as a mystery, then milking the reveal after a few days now that they assume anyone who cares about having that sort of thing spoiled has already seen it.

It’s still a strange marketing choice for a fairly successful movie a few days after release.
