Thunderbolts*: Directed by Jake Schreier. With Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lewis Pullman. After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap, an unconventional team of antiheroes must go on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts.

Watching this at home means that I can re-view some of my favorite scenes over and over again, and boy howdy does this movie have a lot of them. There’s a ton of backstory for every character in the “Thunderbolts” team, with two tv shows and 3-4 movies as required viewing if you want to know how everyone ended up where they start in this movie. There wasn’t even a “previously on. . .” style recap, so good luck!

Turns out you really don’t need to know very much though, as the character setup and development is among the very best that the MCU has ever had to offer.
