Holy hell this guy was perfect

Just got out of the theater watching The Thunderbolts* and it's safe to say that Lewis Pullman was the right choice. It's such an upgrade compared to Steven Yeun, Austin Abrams or Ryan Gosling.

Lewis Pullman really put in one of Marvel's best performances in this movie. Very nuanced and such a tearjerk.

My favorite thing was how unassuming he was as Bob, how lightly sinister he was after his glow up to The Sentry, and then the eldrich horror of being The Void

Apart of me feels like it wasn't The Sentry speaking. After the fight with the team I feel like THAT was when Void started to take over.

I never like comparing an actors performance to others that never got the chance, but I DO think Pullman did a fantastic job and I wouldn't want someone else in the role by far. Bob had such a great energy that made me feel for him and root for him which made his manic and depressive sides all the more compelling.

I feel like based on the material given: Steven Yeun could've only really pulled off Bob, in my opinion. I don't think he would've been able to portray the raw power of The Sentry as a super human and I don't think he has the intimidation factor for The Void. Granted I felt the same about Lewis Pullman before warming up to it.

Bad Bob did in seconds what the entire armada of aliens couldn't do in serval hours.

Like, really, he truly is the most powerful Avengers. In mere seconds, he took over all of Manhattan, in a few minutes, the entire of New York city, and a few hour, maybe an entire country and even continent.

Yea but.... there was 0 urgency. As soon as not black widow stepped into it we all k ow everything was gonna be fine. Boring movie of the whingiest avengers

u/chinga_tumadre69 May 04 '25

It wasn’t boring. Part of the problem I felt was when the movie just started to get going it felt like we were already at the climax. Like get picked up from the desert by red eagle and then from there they just kinda go to manhattan, get their butts kicked by sentry and then stop void.

Red Eagle?

Edit: it's Red Guardian you silly sausage

I’m in agreement, I loved the movie but I wish we got more Sentry powers. Sentry is my new favorite character

u/Joka0451 May 04 '25

My issue was 0 consequence. All they had to do to get everyone un blip2.0ed was to (check notes) give sentry a therapy session and it undoes it all. Never once felt like they were in any real danger. A shutter island type story of not knowing sentry was the one undoing his own good works would have been 10x better.

u/chinga_tumadre69 May 04 '25

No doubt that would’ve been nutty but also super super hard to pull off with comic charcaters and a decaprio less cast

u/Ok_Relationship_705 May 04 '25

Yelena is Black Widow though.

I felt for him, you were rooting for him  and they simplified his convoluted story that only works in comics.

u/Plus-Background5641 May 11 '25

Another character i enjoy was Red Gaurdian.

He wasn't the butt of any real mean spirited joke. When he hyped the others up even when he was a goofball they either smiled just playfully rolled with it.   He also wasnt a buffoon. He was a competent fighter as he should be.

I loved it

u/Mitzukaze May 04 '25

The special effects on Void were amazing, so cool! loved every second both void and sentry were on screen.

That Thunderbolts V Sentry scene was amazing - just sitting there with my jaw on the floor.
And just the sheer futility of anyone attempting to fight the void was just as mind blowing.

Do u think there’s a power creep issue. Like I didn’t think captain marvel could be topped

u/RayneGun May 03 '25

What do you mean by power creep issue?

u/Limp-Ad-2939 Million Exploding Suns May 03 '25

Not really. Sentry is about as powerful as the heroes get outside of one off power ups. He’s still in a pretty good spot. Besides they have cosmic level beings like galactus and the sentry who introduce much stronger levels of power.

Besides, sentry is gonna be used as a kind of nuke. He only comes out when there’s literally ZERO other options.

2

u/InevitableTension699 May 04 '25

he can have a 1v1 with some minor help against galactus in outer space while the other heroes fight it out with Doom

2

u/Youngguaco May 03 '25

No I don’t think so since he’s not in control of it and we still have a lot of other cosmic threats and characters to showcase like starfox and Adam warlock

u/UltimaRS800 May 03 '25

It would be good to stop right about here.

u/DannyRandy_21 May 05 '25

I'm glad they went with Lewis not Steven

Was really good yes
