Anti Hero Group Therapy Session – A Review of Thunderbolts pt.3

The Thunderbolt saga comes to a close… or does it? In the third and final installment of their review, Kareem, Ken, and Pat are joined by guest Mayday to dissect Marvel’s most emotionally unstable movie, and, true to form, they take more detours than a multiverse GPS.

Show Notes

This episode of Tangential Giants dives into the MCU’s parenting crisis (seriously, who’s raising these kids?), the surprising power of therapy over explosions, and the narrative spaghetti that is Captain Marvel’s storyline. If you came for a clean review, sorry, the guys are too busy comparing trauma arcs and debating whether punching someone in the soul counts as character development.

What’s inside this cinematic rollercoaster:

  • Thunderbolt’s final act: redemption or just vibes?
  • MCU parenting: accountability optional
  • Mental health vs. physical mayhem: who wins?
  • Captain Marvel’s plot: held together by duct tape and hope
  • Mayday’s spicy takes and fan theories that might actually make sense

EP.119 – Don't Trust Billionaires – A Review of James Gunn's Superman pt.3 Tangential Giants Podcast

The Tangential Giants return for their third strike at reviewing the three-quarter mark of James Gunn’s Superman, and somehow, the chaos only gets more refined with age. Kareem, Ken, Pat, and guest Tim settle in to talk about the movie, but as always, tangents emerge like uninvited cousins who still somehow run the show.This time, the crew dives into how the fictional citizens of Metropolis and the very real citizens of the United States share a troubling weakness for any rich guy with a shiny suit and a PR team. From there, they spiral into a celebration of Guy Gardner’s comedic menace as Green Lantern, because apparently the universe needed a man who is equal parts hero and walking HR violation.Naturally, the group also questions the logistics of a pocket universe prison. Is it science, magic, or just James Gunn saying, " Trust me and hoping no one asks follow-up questions? The Giants ask them anyway. And that is only scratching the surface of the detours they take while trying to talk about Superman’s journey.If you enjoy passionate nonsense, comic book philosophy, and four grown adults trying to make sense of a movie that refuses to stay on the rails, this episode is your comfort food. Settle in and enjoy another round of heroic chaos.#tangentialgiants #superman #jamesgunn #dcu #dcuniverse #supermanmovie #dccomics #comicbookmovies #nerdpodcast #superherotalk #moviebreakdown #GuyGardner #greenlantern #metropolis #PocketUniverse #popculturepodcast #dcfans #supermananalysis #moviediscussions
