I love that when Kevin is interviewed he is 100% confident in dangling carrots just out of reach and answering questions where you get information but not enough. Dude has a PHD in media communication lol. He seems to genuinely enjoy teasing fans which makes you know he is in himself a fan of what he is doing. You get him with the right interviewer he even seems to still have fun doing it.

[@nailinthefashion]

It’s why once he had more control I sighed a deep sigh of relief. He’s so devoted to the craft of storytelling, even if it’s bad, you’re gonna get told a story at least. I’ve been indifferent at worst ever since phase 3. Secret Invasion + Covid was such a disaster and I still kinda liked the concept, it just wasn’t as good as it could or should be. Prob my least liked project other than Thor 1

[@cosmictruthtortoise]

I believe Feige has said that the asterisk is six bullets, representing the in-fighting within the group.

[@drasvader1]

You are correct

[@djdjvega101]

Yeah but fiege just said in that interview that there’s a deeper meaning that will be coming out. I think the bullet thing is just another way of looking at it

[@nailinthefashion]

@@djdjvega101that would be such next level nuance from Marvel. If it ends up being relevant, I’m not only going to bust, but also, be more of a fan than ever

[@robodrew]

Personally I think the * is there serving the same purpose as it did for the movie "61*" and the record that the film was about. In that case the asterisk represented the powers that be (and the public at large) not wanting to give Maris the recognition that he deserved. I think that in this case it's the same thing, the asterisk representing the powers that be and the public not trusting the Thunderbolts in the same way as they would trust the Avengers because of the colored history of all of the members of the team.

[@JamesEvans2023]

Yeah, I personally think that sports just happens to use asterisks in certain situations and that's the biggest examples that happened in history.

[@ssofft]

I honestly think the asterisk is just their idea of smart marketing, just so we talk about it

[@therongjr]

2:08 - I'm probably late to the game here, but "4" comes next after "3". You might say it's a Fantastic number.

[@Saimeren]

I think it's more of a wink than anything else. "Yeah, they're totally YOUR team Thaddeus "Thunderbot" Ross.. Totally.. Yep.. They're not my team at all. Definitely yours. *Wink wink*" So they're the "Thunderbolts", but also not really at all. They're Val's team.

[@lightdarksoul2097]

I mean Ross is president he shouldn't really be bothering himself with the work of a "lowly" team of these people

[@Gilthwixt1]

That's what I've been thinking this whole time. They're either Ross' team on paper OR they're a contingency to kill Ross if he ever goes full dictator.

[@ninomitchell2039]

8:36 I was thinking the asterisk could be the writers playing with how the lineups of superhero teams change fairly regularly in some regard. Val could consider the members of the team to be expendable, and the asterisk could be meant to direct whoever is reading the dossier to the members currently in question. Almost a suicide squad type situation.

[@HeelDries]

I just got this feeling that this movie will surprise a lot of people be really good.

[@williamcousert]

There is at least one limerick where asterisk = "ass to risk". Considering the theme of the Thunderbolts, I could see them using this.

[@DTonkins420]

maybe they are redoing the thunderbolts a little from the comics, and instead of Ross bringing them together as the leader, val is bringing them together to defeat Ross. so the name thunderbolts is the team created to fight thunderbolt ross.

[@nonastans]

That cast intro was great 😂

[@kiskenci]

What if they call them Thunderbolts so Ross thinks they are his team, but they just work for Fisk/Val. Maybe they are just there to stop Ross if so he changes into Red Hulk. It's a stretch but, who knows.

[@livingstonekot757]

"Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes, Sebastian Stan, from my dreams" killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Maybe the Asterisk has something to do with a hidden possessive punctuation like an Apostrophe or something of that nature.

[@djlongway666]

Thought this channel confirmed the asterisk was actually six gunshots for each of the members so not actually an asterisk?

[@bajansamurai]

More likely just on a mission blending in with the group of congress men

[@_P4nth3r_]

i can really see the movie doing something similar to falcon and winter soldier in the sense that it is indeed a test for them being the dark avengers and the movies actual title is “thunderbolts*” and by the end they prove themselves and the credits at the end say something like the dark avengers

[@JScotty4Reel]

My take on the asterisk is that it’s not going anywhere. It’s part of the title and signifies the team will go down as nothing more than a footnote in history due to government redaction and whatnot

[@psychoapplesauceeater8562]

Nice

[@doleph1]

Grammatically, you may have the flipped around. An asterisk at the end of a word, phrase, or sentence refers to a footnote in addition to what it's attached to. The footnote would come afterwards, likely at the bottom of a page and in fine print where whatever that footnote is would be referenced with an asterisk in front of it.

[@juvenileygo]

The asterisk: thunderbolts vs skrullvengers

[@nailinthefashion]

I think at the end of the film it’ll get swapped into the Dark Avengers or whatever. There’s something about it being a placeholder, like, “yes this is the Thunderbolts but that’s just this team of them” kinda like the Expendables or Suicide Squad vibes where no one in universe expects or wants them around permanently

[@deejeh9494]

​@doleph1 , you both said the same thing. No correction is needed. I'm not sure where you're getting confused, but you shouldn't be.

[@marcushailey8498]

This is going to be awesome!!!

[@tenkennosoujiro2210]

My theory is that "THUNDERBOLTS*" is the title and the asterisk is a meta-reference to the team initially calling themselves the THUNDERBOLTS in-universe, but then the team name changes in-universe for one reason or another (e.g. the Redeemers).

[@supersentaii5590]

So * as in subject to change. Makes sense now. Probably gonna change to Dark Avengers

Good video, but that over the shoulder "Rings of Power" box insert is SO distracting.

But yeah, I guess y'all gotta make your money, and the position was a mandate by Amazon, I just wish it was placed better or more subtle.

[@bensenzo]

Imagine living such a sad existence that you're triggered by a small poster at the corner of the screen of a 10 minute video. That is not even there all the time😅😅 And are you people bots? Because you literally wrote the same thing as someone else here😅

[@Swali_B]

@bensenzo not triggered. I just said it was distracting. That's my experience. Expressing the things that work or don't work for viewing enjoyment can help production to tweak if the issue is prevalent. Feedback is a good thing. If you did not experience the distraction as I did, that's good for you, truly. Just allow others to give their constructive feedback.

[@bensenzo]

@@Swali_B it's small, at the corner of the screen. How is it distracting? You can easily ignore it🤦🏾‍♂️

[@Swali_B]

@bensenzo Like I said, it's distracting for me. It's cool if it doesn't affect your viewing enjoyment. I would think that you would be in the majority. I'm sure there are things that you don't particularly like, that aren't an issue for me at all. That's just part of the human condition. We don't necessarily have to understand the why or how someone else views things differently. Some things just are as they are, merely because we are different individuals. I'm only speaking for myself. If no one else feels the same, that's alright with me. In fact, it might be for the best from the channels' perspective - as they should seek to play to the majority.

@@Swali_B did the romulus one distract you as well?

[@benitals333]

I think that the asterix is more to signify that not everyone calls them the thunderbolts... Like, perhaps President Ross calls them the thunderbolts because he thinks they work for him, but actually they call themselves something different and really work for Val... And it will be something daft, like 'The Valvengers' or something...

[@cutulus1]

There is the Team Thunderbolts and the person Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross. So I believe that this is a reference to both the team and General Ross being multiple Thunderbolts.

[@douglaswallace8585]

The * is going to be for at the beginning of this they will be know as the thunderbolts and at the end they will be called something else maybe an off shoot of the avengers like the B team it could be they are called something then become the thunderbolts but I think that’s less likely

[@williammiller3277]

Titles are not copyrightable. Could get protections for the name in various ways for various reasons but no need to register the title of a movie with the copyright office in general. Plus, when a work is eligible for it, copyrights are automatic.

[@TrekTreats]

Much like Tony Stark mentioned 'Endgame' and it was used for Avengers 4, we likely have been told exactly what the * will translate to by one of the characters, likely Val

[@hive2209]

I think it’s 1000x more simple and people are overthinking. It’s likely the asterisk is actually “bullet holes”, and the moment this team “assembles” ^ Someone is going to die in this movie ^ A reason to become Avengers ^
