'Thunderbolts' explores themes of superhero fatigue through its protagonist Yelena Belova, who questions her role as an assassin against the backdrop of an endless Marvel franchise. Despite its effort to incorporate humor and self-referential wit, the film struggles with tedious exposition and a diluted narrative. Its tone fluctuates between engaging comedy and wearisome sarcasm, capturing a bittersweet reflection on the cinematic universe's prolonged run. Released after 'Black Widow', 'Thunderbolts' aims to revive interest but ultimately struggles with the weight of its own mythos, leaving audiences questioning the franchise's sustainability.
Marvel's 'Thunderbolts' treads familiar ground, presenting superhero fatigue through Yelena's existential musings, yet manages to inject moments of wit amid its self-reflection.
In a world wearing thin with superhero stories, 'Thunderbolts' exhibits both its charm and flaws with humor intertwined with meta-commentary about the franchise's overwhelming output.
