We delve into the myriad iterations of Thunderbolt teams, considering their diverse compositions and story arcs, while also expressing our aspirations for their representation in live-action adaptations.

Let’s talk updates!

1. THUNDERBOLTS (Comics Edition):

Before the MCU’s version drops, the OG Thunderbolts were villains pretending to be heroes—led by Baron Zemo with members like Songbird, Moonstone, Atlas, and Mach-X. Twists, betrayals, and redemption arcs? This team had it all.

Who do you want to see join the live-action squad?

2. PEACEMAKER SEASON 2 TRAILER:

Chris Smith is BACK! The trailer is pure chaos—more wild action, Vigilante being unhinged (as usual), and hints at deeper DCU connections. Is that a nod to Amanda Waller’s bigger plans? We’re locked in!

3. ANDOR SEASON 2 — LATEST EPISODES:

Espionage. Tension. Rebellion rising. Cassian’s journey is darker and more dangerous than ever. The slow burn is cooking up a storm—and yes, that twist in the last episode? We’re still recovering.

Which one are YOU most hyped for: Thunderbolts, Peacemaker, or Andor? Drop your thoughts below! Pull up!! Thursday 5/8/25 8 pm est.
