Are post credit scenes entirely related to Fantastic 4 or Avengers: Doomsday too?
Thunderbolts
Will someone that saw it shoot me a pm about what the asterisk in the title meant? I’ll dance at your wedding 🕺

I remember really enjoying Jake Schreier's first two films, Robot & Frank and Paper Towns, and also throughly enjoyed his miniseries Beef.
Based on that alone, I was really looking forward to his big-budget debut, but I have to admit it was much better than I anticipated. It really is the best movie he's directed so far, and among the best films in the genre.
The performances (including those of several Oscar-nominated actors) are all stupendous, but it's true that Florence Hugh really shines especially brightly here.
Try to avoid the spoilers, if you can, and stay put until the very very very end of the end credits because this one has one of the best post-credit scenes of any MCU film.
It will definitely leave you eager to catch up with the next few installments.

>95% positive audience rating, too!!
Why do we focus on the inflated Rotten Tomatoes score which is loaded with shady practices and designed to deceive? We know this stuff isn't accurate yet I see this score thrown at us over and over. Is it because it's designed to make movies look like they had better scores than they got?
But it's nice to see reviews about how the writing isn't a disaster and how everything isn't filmed on a green screen. Only took the MCU about eight movies to realize we don't want rewritten cheap-looking crap.

It seems Marvel has once again completely thrown out the original concept of the comic book and instead made a pretty blatant copy of a different company's concept that was already made into a couple of mostly-failed movies.
The original concept - during a poorly conceived company crossover (designed only to sell more comics rather than to produce great art & stories) the major superheroes of the Marvel universe disappeared creating a vacuum in super-heroic crimefighting. So a group of super villains called the Masters of Evil used an ingenious plan to fill that vacuum by becoming the world's new saviors called The Thunderbolts. Little did the public know that these new "heroes" (now with all new costumes and heroic code names) were actually all old villains. Being trusted by the public & regarded as heroes would ultimately make world domination much quicker & easier.
Great, devious plot that made for some interesting stories, attempted redemptions, and revelations as the public and even new (non-villain) members of the team came closer and closer to discovering the villains' ruse.
But based on the characters chosen for the movie (not a single one of which appeared in the first few years of the original Thunderbolts comic book), it looks like Marvel has dumped the premise entirely and instead is doing another film version of DC's poorly-received Suicide Squad movies.
