I was thinking about John Walker. He could be an interesting character, kind of an angry Captain America, but there wasn't enough in the movie to show why he was this way. I they need a small movie or TV show to go through his life after the Winter Soldier show, but would anyone watch that?

But what does the asterisk mean?

Just got home from a Thunderbolts* screening to find this in my inbox. As much as I enjoy JLD, I spent a large part of the film wondering why so little effort was spent by its characters trying to separate de Fontaine's head from the rest of her body. Or shove her out of that open window frame dozens of stories above the pavement. "Collateral damage", as Yelena says at some point in the movie.

I guess that's why I'll never be a super hero. But otherwise, I enjoyed it. Yelena's grief and trauma felt real, and "Bob" wasn't annoying (although when he's briefly "The Sentry" I got strong Homelander from The Boys vibes), and David Harbour can do no wrong. And as always, stay until the very end of the credits.
