What The Critical Drinker Got Wrong About Thunderbolts

Everyone’s been sending me The Critical Drinker’s Thunderbolts review like it’s some sacred film school lesson, but here’s the problem: Will Jordan is guilty of the exact same “crimes” he’s critiquing.

Old Will is an expert when it comes to spotting plot devices in Thunderbolts, but somehow doesn’t notice that the same so-called “lazy writing” tropes show up all throughout his own novels.

But this video isn’t just about The Critical Drinker’s review — it’s about the growing trend of pretending plot devices are plot holes… but only when Marvel does it.

In this video, we break down the double standards, the YouTube echo chamber, and why hating Thunderbolts has become more about clout than critique. Get ready, because I’m bringing receipts.

If you're tired of the same talking points and want a fresh take, you're in the right place. Even if we don't agree on everything, I promise you, you'll get honest takes here. No pretense. No performances.
