I don't rlly care about mcu anymore, the last time i watched an mcu film was march 2022 when no way home came to disney +, thunberbolts is very interesting to me because of supposed mental health themes I've heard about, but i have missed so many projects, do i need to do homework projects to watch thunderbolts.

I mean, you won't know who anybody is, but that in itself is a fun journey to go on, and you'll love each and every character by the end

Funny enough most of the characters are before that era with the black widow movie. You might be less familiar with some characters and story beats but they give you enough bits of their past to move ahead with the overall plot. I say you are fine to proceed.

Only key ones are probably Hawkeye and falcon and the winter soldier that could help add some understanding for some characters and where they are at now. Not a must but a nice to know.

Watch it and enjoy it. It's standalone enough that you can just watch it. It's a good one!

If you’ve watched Black Widow, then yeah you’re fine. Yelena’s spiral does kick off in Hawkeye and I always think people should watch episode 5-6 because of that, but it’s not necessary. Every other person sort of explains themselves in the movie.

If you saw the No Way Home, you understand the "status" of the MCU in terms of what's going on with the Avengers and the other superheroes.

You might not recognize all the characters that already been introduced in various shows/movies, but the movie does a good job at being stand-alone. If you don't know the backstory, fine, the movie sets up their relationships well enough you'd have no issues going along with the journey.

I'll also add the movie also really begins a 'new' plot line as well, so it's not like it's picking up from a previous cliff-hanger or dramatic event you'd need to know. The story basically begins in the opening scene of the movie.

You don’t need to know anything to enjoy Thunderbolts.
Optional recap:
Stark tower is now owned by a very dodgy government official who has been building up her own personal kill squad from anti-heroes that she collected from various films. One is Yelena who was Natasha (Black Widow) Romanoff’s sister - or well, sort of. They both were part of a Russian spy cell in America where Alexei (Red Guardian) was their fake Dad and they were his fake kids for the purposes of passing off as an American Family. Aaaaand you are up to date now… enjoy…
