Thunderbolts

Is this ragtag team of misfits the salvation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or just more CGI noise in a bloated franchise? David digs deep into the unexpected spiritual and philosophical undercurrents of this comic book blockbuster—and why Thunderbolts might just be the one of the most Catholic Marvel film yet (even if it doesn't know it).

🎥 Topics include:

  1. Why Thunderbolts is Marvel's best film since Avengers: Endgame

  2. The surprising parallels between Yelena's emptiness and the Catholic understanding of the human person

  3. Nihilism, redemption, and the prodigal daughter in a postmodern MCU

  4. The true battle: not in Wakanda or New York, but in the soul

  5. How the film quietly hints at the hunger for forgiveness, meaning, and mercy

📌 Key takeaway: Thunderbolts may not mention God, but its themes of emptiness, redemption, and being "beloved" make it a stealth spiritual drama. Sometimes, even superheroes point us home.
