Marvel Officially Retitles Thunderbolts as The New Avengers
Marvel Officially Retitles Thunderbolts as The New Avengers - IGN
Nothing says this film is doing well like changing the title after months of advertisement campaigns.
Bit annoyed at this because I've yet to see it.
Also I feel like it would've been better to keep it as thunderbolts* that way the rename happens during the film as you watch it instead.
Wait, I thought the movie was doing well? I haven’t seen it yet, but reading the article it seems like this is more of a PR stunt and marketing gimmick to align with what happens in the movie. Apparently it’s revealed they are the new Avengers, so spoilers for everyone (including me) who hasn’t seen it yet I guess.
Yeah, with the asterisk in the title and the discussion about it, I would think that this was the marketing plan from the start. The movie’s performance may have affected when exactly they decided to pull the trigger on the rebrand though.
Rumor has it that Marvel was worried it would bomb, and naming it "New Avengers" would put them in an awkward position moving forward. Thunderbolts was the backup-insurance-title basically.
Now that the movie seems to be doing well, it's getting its proper title.
The group rename is an in-movie plot point...
Fortunately I'm not invested in the MCU as much as I once was. Probably worth chucking the spoiler in some spoiler tags though?
Actually maybe not? At this point I don't know..
Yeah I thought it is doing well. Reviews have been pretty good and word of mouth seems to be decent as well. This is 100% a spoiler for those who haven’t watched it. I did think it’s quite soon from its release to them revealing it publicly like this though
I saw it. It was decidedly mediocre. Roughly equivalent to the last one.
FUCK!
Thunderbolts*
*name temporary
Like the Washington Football Team or Utah Hockey Club, we’re just waiting for the focus group data to refine the name
So if I wanted to watch this now. Am I searching for "New Avengers" or "The Thunderbolts"?
it wasnt a good movie. It wasnt rip roaring fun, it was dumb and tedious, and a waste of 12 dollars.
Noted I will watch it for free when I'm extremely bored
Patsy’s 70s were even crazier than she can remember.
For anyone confused: this isn’t coming out of nowhere, ::: spoiler minor movie spoiler
it’s just the marketers trying to squeeze attention out of a spoiler at the end of the movie. They want to have their cake and eat it too by teasing the asterisk in the title as a mystery, then milking the reveal after a few days now that they assume anyone who cares about having that sort of thing spoiled has already seen it. :::
It’s still a strange marketing choice for a fairly successful movie a few days after release.
This seems desperate.
So... Nothing's changed since Endgame?
Odd. I think an asterisk in a movie title is pretty eye-catching.
Cptn America is suddenly white again and they only mention Steve Rodgers as the previous cptn America.
and 3 of the "new avengers" are russians?
And they all say they have done terrible things and hate themselves, but that whats important is helping people. And at one point Valentina says "when you have been around as long as me you understand theres only bad people and worse people, call me when you want to join the real world"
Sounds like the zionists who titled the last wretched avengers movie 'a new world order' and tried to use 15 minutes of that movie to be a backstory of a new israeli superhero 'sadaf' are still at work at marvel. (until a aflurry of last minute edits that left that movie a wierd hacked together clusterf****)I hope the entire Marvel company goes under along with tesla for parroting far right and zionist ideology.
Is that love sausage on the left?
no matter the title i need like 10 fuckin years off fore I'll watch more capeshit. nothing against ppl that like it but enough. fuggen routine assed shit
Hey, don't worry. Apparently, low-effort videogame movies are about to take over for the next 15-20 years, thanks to CHICKEN JOCKEY.
