The Trailers Thread III

[classicdrogn]

going back a page, by 'almost completely different cast' are you referring to the comics or was there a previously announced lineup for the movie that they've replaced?

The comics, yes. I caught a glimpse of Citizen V/Baron Zemo in maroon, grey, and navu instead of red, white, and blue, but no MACJ-1 aka Beetle, no Songbird (Moonstone maybe? Or Screaming Mimi and Moonstone was another female team member), no Atlas (Giant Man), no speedster guy (Meanstreak? He left ethe team really earrly anyway though) no Jolt the electric rookie hero, and Winter Soldier Bucky replaces Hawkeye as the seasoned hero mentor too.

Thunderbolts was just starting its run about the same time I was falling out of comics so still being able to remember more than the visual designs tells how much I liked the concept and characters; really this all-new all-drab bunch lose a point for stealing the name and not even using the premise (a bunch of B-list villains form a "new hero team" to fill in while the Avengers are missing/dead/off-planet or something as a long con to get access to security information and resources, actual rookie joins and forces them to live the mask rather than just keeping it up in public, most of them discover they actually like being good guys and getting positive press so they flip for real.) They're going to need to make up that ground to have a chance in my books.

Also, "Bob, with the power of one million exploding suns," sounds like they've ripped off both Bob From HYDRA and The Sentinel, and ramming Sentinel's crazy into Bob is just a dick move.
