Justice for Taskmaster – A Review of Thunderbolts pt.2

Welcome back to Part 2 of our Thunderbolts movie review! Kareem, Ken, and Pat are joined by special guest Mayday to dive even deeper into the MCU’s latest team-up. But as you know, nothing with this crew stays on topic for long.

Today, we double down on tangents you didn’t know you needed: pitching dream cast replacements (because, yes, we have strong opinions on who should and shouldn’t be in this movie).

We’ll be running the MCU’s new Super-Soldier Staffing Office, flipping the Thunderbolts from freelance mercenaries into A-List government troopers. Picture each team member filing into HR for clearance, who’s green-lit for full Avenger status, who’s reassigned to Wakandan R&D, and who lands a cubicle in Department H’s covert task force?

Show Notes

This week, the conversation goes completely off the rails as they get into:

Why the MCU seems obsessed with constantly reminding us that the Avengers are gone. We get it, you miss them too!
The tragic, wasted potential of Taskmaster. Could this movie have been saved if they hadn’t, you know, done that?
A heated debate about the Eternals and why they feel so… insignificant. Are they even real?
Plus, a whole lot of other tangents you never knew you needed.

Tune in to hear their unfiltered thoughts, wild theories, and a healthy dose of exasperation with the current state of the cinematic universe.

EP.123 – Post Decpte-Con Catch Up – A Review of Comic-Con News 2026 – Tangential Giants Podcast

Kareem finally reconnects with Ken and Pat after missing their Comic‑Con panel, and the guys waste no time recapping how their talk on the downfall of billionaires in comics somehow turned into a crowd‑pleaser. Pat insists they were profound. Ken insists they were unhinged. Both are probably right.From there, the conversation swerves into the tall grass. The trio tries to figure out why Transformers actually transform, whether “Decepticons” is a name that should have been retired decades ago, and how to stitch G.I. Joe, Transformers, and the Fast and the Furious into one cinematic universe without breaking the laws of physics or taste.It is exactly the kind of episode where a simple Comic‑Con debrief becomes a dissertation on toy‑based geopolitics, automotive theology, and franchise chaos theory.Settle in.
