Warning: SPOILERS for Thunderbolts*.From top to bottom,Thunderbolts*(now possibly known as New Avengers) feels like the closest thing Marvel Studios has made to an independent film. Thanks to Thunderbolts* surprisingly intimate, character-focused story, standout art design, and minimal number of overwhelmingly CG-heavy battles, it can be easy to forget you’re watching the 36th film in the ever-growing Marvel Cinematic Universe. And this is a good thing–as Phase 5 of the MCU threatens diminishing returns for the industry-defining studio, Thunderbolts* provides a much-appreciated jolt of life.
