The first reactions to Marvel’s Thunderbolts* are praising a specific aspect that could fix a problem the MCU has had for the last several years.

In the lead up to the premiere, Marvel promised a different kind of superhero movie with “Thunderbolts.” Back in March, a trailer ran in theaters boasting the film’s lineup of cast and crew who have worked on A24 films. Even before the trailer debuted, director Schreier touted the film as distinct from Marvel’s usual fare.
