Marvel's The Thunderbolts Is a Total Disaster – What Went Wrong?

Marvel's The Thunderbolts is finally here... and it's somehow even worse than we imagined. In this episode, we rip into The Thunderbolts — a movie so painfully dumb, so shamelessly pandering, and so lazily written it makes Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania look like The Godfather. The writing is bad. The direction is worse. And the performances — even from talented actors like Florence Pugh — are buried under layers of cringe-worthy Marvel nonsense. This is peak Disney formula at its most hollow. If you're exhausted by the MCU, Thunderbolts is the final nail in the coffin. We dive into everything wrong with this disaster: – Florence Pugh wasted again – Generic Disney-mandated character arcs – Cringe dialogue that insults your intelligence – MCU fatigue reaching critical levels – A plot that might've been written by AI... bad AI If you're looking for a Thunderbolts review, Thunderbolts breakdown, and Thunderbolts reaction that isn't afraid to say what you're thinking — this is it. Disney, Marvel, the MCU — we're done pretending this stuff is good.

Marvel's Kang Dynasty Script LEAKED?! Was SCRAPPING The Right Choice?

The MCU is once again in the spotlight as major Avengers: The Kang Dynasty leaks have surfaced online—and we're diving into everything we've learned. On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the original plan for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, its evolution into Avengers: Doomsday, and what it all means for Marvel Phase 5, Secret Wars, and the future of the Multiverse Saga. Marvel Studios seems to have scrapped Kang as the main villain in favor of Doctor Doom—and for good reason. After Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania flopped and Jonathan Majors' legal issues became a major concern, insiders say the studio lost faith in the Council of Kangs storyline. Now, with Stephen McFeely rewriting both Avengers 5 and Secret Wars, and the Russo Brothers returning to direct, the entire direction has shifted. We're breaking down the leaked Kang Dynasty script that includes wild reveals like a Moon Knight team-up, Miles Morales' MCU debut, a Deadpool 3 crossover, and even a Spider-Man: No Way Home reunion. Plus, what role was Doctor Doom supposed to play before becoming the central threat in Avengers: Doomsday? And how does this affect the lead-in to Avengers: Secret Wars? Other stories covered: Captain America: Brave New World nears $200M at the domestic box office. A Working Man dominates Snow White in a surprise upset. Warner Bros. shakeups and early talks of new leadership. First reactions for The Minecraft Movie are in—and they're surprisingly mixed but intriguing. AND — in a massive shift — Warner Bros. has completed the worldwide sale of Coyote vs. Acme to Ketchup Entertainment. Yes, the previously shelved, fan-beloved Looney Tunes film is back! The Wile E. Coyote movie—starring Will Forte, John Cena, and Lana Condor, directed by Dave Green and written by Samy Burch—was shelved for tax reasons despite strong test screenings. But now it's getting a theatrical release in 2026, with Ketchup shelling out close to $50 million for the rights. Produced by James Gunn, this film has become symbolic of Hollywood's internal battles between artistry and cost-cutting. Marvel. DC. Box office drama. Studio shakeups. Leaks. Come for the nerd news—stay for the chaos.

Captain America: Brave New World is tracking to have a lower box office take than Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. But on the up side, it's tracking a little better than The Marvels. So I guess that's a positive? Captain America 4 is anticipated to underperform at the box office due to low audience interest, poor promotion, and a shift in viewer preference, raising concerns about the future of the Marvel franchise. 00:00 Captain America 4 is expected to perform poorly at the box office, potentially underwhelming compared to previous Marvel films. 01:26 Captain America 4 is struggling at the box office, with pre-sales lagging behind Ant-Man 3 and only slightly ahead of The Marvels. 03:52 Captain America 4's box office looks grim, with low anticipation for Sam Wilson's debut and Marvel's future hinging on the poorly promoted Fantastic Four film. 06:07 Captain America 4 is projected to open between 81 and 107 million, indicating potential underperformance compared to earlier franchise films. 07:39 Captain America 4 is projected to underperform at the box office, better than The Marvels but worse than Ant-Man 3, due to the writer's strike. 09:10 Many viewers favor Steve Rogers over Sam Wilson as Captain America, and Marvel's popularity is declining among younger audiences. 10:34 Captain America 4 is expected to struggle at the box office amid low audience interest and high stakes for future Marvel films like Fantastic Four. 12:50 The discussion highlights how financial motivations may have influenced creative decisions in the film industry, leading to potential missteps.

Movie Synopsis: When a group of friends recklessly violates the sacred rule of Tarot readings, they unknowingly unleash an unspeakable evil trapped within the cursed cards. One by one, they come face to face with fate and end up in a race against death. __________________________________________________ Felix is such a badass and cool individual! This guy played the two creepiest Tarot characters in the movie. It's no wonder why this talented stuntman was chosen; performing stunts in notable movies such as: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023), The Batman (2022), Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019), Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019), and Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) – just to name a few. We discussed how he was chosen for these particular roles, and it seems that the casting director has chosen the right person for the jobs. I cannot imagine what rehearsing on set must have been like, pretty tough, I imagine. However, I am thoroughly impressed with his story about that Jackie Chan plays an integral part of if his career, and no one on this planet can argue that Jackie Chan is awesome. Role models should always be mentioned in someone's stories! Hands down, I loved the movie! Stunt performers are under-appreciated, and they definitely deserve more respect than the world gives them. In my opinion, stunt performers are the backbone of the movie. So I am hoping that Felix wins an award for this role, he most definitely deserves one!

This is: AI #74: GPT-4o Mini Me and Llama 3, published by Zvi on July 26, 2024 on LessWrong. We got two big model releases this week. GPT-4o Mini is covered here. Llama 3.1-405B (and 70B and 8B) is mostly covered in yesterday's post, this has some follow up. Table of Contents 1. Introduction. 2. Table of Contents. 3. Language Models Offer Mundane Utility. All your coding are belong to us. 4. Language Models Don't Offer Mundane Utility. Math is hard. Can be expensive. 5. GPT-4o Mini Me. You complete me at lower than usual cost. 6.

Older Joe Rogan. 21. The Lighter Side. It's on. Language Models Offer Mundane Utility Coding is seriously much faster now, and this is the slowest it will ever be. Roon: pov: you are ten months from working for claude sonnet the new technical founder. Garry Tan: Underrated trend. It's happening. Sully: 50% of our code base was written entirely by LLMs expect this to be ~80% by next year With sonnet we're shipping so fast, it feels like we tripled headcount overnight Not using Claude 3.5 to code? Expect to be crushed by teams who do (us). Not only coding, either. Jimmy (QTing Tan): It can also do hardware related things quite well too, and legal, and logistics (planning) and compliance even. I've been able to put off hiring for months. When I run out of sonnet usage I patch in gpt-4o, it's obviously and notably worse which I why I rarely use it as a primary anymore. Claude 3.5 Sonnet becomes the first AI to crush the Lem Test to 'write an impossible poem.' Laugh all you want, this is actually great. Kache: dude hahahahahah i used so many tokens today on just formatting json logs near: the just stop oil people are gonna come and spray paint you now Compared to how much carbon a human coder would have used? Huge improvement. Language Models Don't Offer Mundane Utility IMO problems are still mostly too hard. The linked one, which GPT-4, GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet failed on, seems unusually easy? Although a math Olympiad solver does, predictably given the contests we've seen. [EDIT: I didn't read this properly, but a reader points out this is the floor symbol, which means what I thought was an obvious proof doesn't actually answer the question, although it happens to get the right answer.

Grok offers to tell you 'more about this account.' I haven't seen the button yet, probably it is still experimental. Our price cheap. Llama 3.1-405B was a steal in terms of compute costs.

Today we're exploring the quantum realm in our review of Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania (2023). With a brand new world filled with a load of new characters, this film had a lot happening, yet was pretty boring. And everything being 90 percent CGI didn't help it's case. In this episode,  we have a good time determining who the real star of the movie is and reimagining who should have been the main villain. Plus we discuss Kang the Conqueror and his future in the MCU given recent events.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was the bite-sized hero's attempt to elevate the stakes of his solo outings. With Kang—the MCU's big bad in waiting—as the film's central villain, it was meant to serve as a narrative intro for the next Avengers team up. Alas, that appears like it is not to be. Even before Jonathan Majors, the actor portraying Kang, ran afoul with the law, Quantumania's poor reviews and lagging box office flashed warning bells for Marvel.  Yes, it did earn $476.1 million at the box office, but that was down from the original's $518.9 million and its precursor's $623.1 million. Worse, Quantumania's 46% on Rotten Tomatoes is one of the worst scores the MCU has ever received. That critical drubbing is mostly deserved. Quantumania is an overlong and muddled CGI stew of half-baked ideas. It's never thrilling, rarely funny, and squanders its opportunity to make audiences dread what Kang will do to the newest Avengers. Instead, the dude couldn't even topple their tiniest hero. So much for that Dynasty of his. Now, sit back, take a bite out of a Space Lettuce Double IPA from Monday Night Brewing, and lookout for the little guy!

Jonathan Majors has been acting professionally for about seven years now. He's done theater, TV, and starred in movies. In that short amount of time, he's become one of the most captivating performers in Hollywood. On screen, Jonathan is charismatic and charming when the role calls for it, and he can turn to vulnerable and broken almost instantly. He's the kind of actor that just takes the story to the next level. When I talked with Jonathan Majors in 2021, he was up for an Emmy for his work on HBO's Lovecraft Country. He's gone on to some massive films like Ant-man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and most recently, Creed III. Jonathan joined us on Bullseye to talk about Lovecraft Country, and reflected on being the child in a family of veterans. Plus, he dived into acting theory and craft – and he gets into it, really into it.
