It's a decent self contained story with a popular cast. Did anyone expect any other performance on D+?
CaptHayfever2025-11-08 22:32
The doom-&-gloomers did.
The_Abjectator2025-11-08 22:54

Of course doom would think something like that
RollingHillsRamsay2025-11-08 20:13
D+ hasn't had anything else interesting to watch for months. I have logged into D+ exactly twice this year, one to watch CA: Brave New World, and again to watch F4
For the whole flipping year...
F4 was better than I had expected. That being said, I don't think I will ever go back and watch it again unless someone else puts it on.
Shignity2025-11-08 20:33
Yea if I didn't have small children that like watching Bluey and Spider-Man, I wouldn't have much use for a recurring D+ sub.
Wtygrrr2025-11-08 20:36
I find your lack of Daredevil disturbing.
RollingHillsRamsay2025-11-08 20:45
Hey so I was actually just talking about movies!
That's fine, I've just never had any interest in that character. Wasn't much of a draw to me as a kid. Just a very one note, vanilla "superhero"
Saw the Affleck movie as a kid and thought he was alright.
I couldn't even tell you Daredevil's real name.
Not my cup of tea.
LostGolems2025-11-08 20:58
You should give the netflix show a chance. Its on disney now. Way way way way better than affleck.

You know nothing about Daredevil lol.
RollingHillsRamsay2025-11-11 19:59
Correct.
I don't.
Make me want to watch it! If you were going to sell it to me, how would you hype it up? If I wasn't interested before, these kinds of replies are just sealing this characters fate for me.
I like everything else marvel for the most part.
Skanvar2025-11-11 22:36
He’s a blind catholic lawyer who fights crime dressed as the devil. He’s constantly at odds with himself. He’s arguably the best written main stream comic character of all time and the Netflix/Disney show is imo the best thing marvel has put out but it’s not for children at all.
BatmanForever232025-11-08 23:29
>Just a very one note, vanilla "superhero"
Just admit you don't have the first clue what you're talking about...
RollingHillsRamsay2025-11-11 19:55
I thought that part was obvious when I said I don't even know his real name? Lol?
Like I said I haven't watched any of the TV series and I'm just going off the impression from the Affleck movie.
At no point did I say I knew what I was talking about.
Try to sell it to me! Why should I be interested? Give me a reason to want to watch it.
BatmanForever232025-11-11 20:56
Charlie Cox’s Daredevil series is arguably the best superhero show ever written. Watch it or not idc, but you should grant yourself an open mind at the minimum or it’s just sad.
Wtygrrr2025-11-09 21:03
The Affleck movie was a terrible movie. 5.3 on IMDB. Netflix Daredevil is 8.6 on IMDB. Born again is 8.1.
GrimMrGoodbar2025-11-08 21:49
That show sucked nobody watched
FPG_Matthew2025-11-08 21:57
I mean it’s getting at least 3 seasons, so enough people watched
GrimMrGoodbar2025-11-08 22:01
True
jonsconspiracy2025-11-08 21:41
We cancelled because of the Jimmy Kimmel stuff and never signed back up. I don't really miss it.
Jeczke2025-11-08 22:25
Eyes of Wakanda was pretty dope too
Correct-Chemistry6182025-11-08 22:32
I watched it again tonight with my best friend and had the same opinion after the cinema: it's very cute and well made and I like the characters, but it's not a memorable film that I would watch again (I was already a little bored tonight, to be honest).
singleDADSlife2025-11-08 22:33
I got Disney+ again this year for the specific purpose of getting to watch Thunderbolts and FF again. I'll probably watch them both a few times, then just cancel my subscription. The only other thing I watched in that time was Alien: Earth.
CaptHayfever2025-11-08 22:43
That's wild. I've been watching a bunch of shows & movies on there.
Lovelyesque12025-11-08 22:43
I feel old as hell saying this, but people are so spoiled now.
We used to get ONE superhero movie every few years and it was hit and miss whether it would be any good. Once the MCU started picking up we got about one a year and it was still often hit or miss.
This year alone we got CA 3, Thunderbolts, and Fantastic Four. The latter two were excellent, and even if you personally disagree, widely well-received. As were Daredevil Born Again, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and Ironheart. Not sure how Zombies and Eyes of Wakanda went, but they’re there. What do you want, a new movie every 3 months? Or do you just think every single Marvel release should cater to you specifically? I feel like if you liked even ONE thing this year, you’re luckier than movie audiences have historically been up until about 10 years ago.
N8CCRG2025-11-08 23:15
In addition to what others have said, D+ comes with Hulu (at least in the US) which had Alien: Earth, which I recommend.
Comfortable_Breads2025-11-08 20:15
Deserved!!
Fawqueue2025-11-08 20:20
Millions of people are about to be incredibly whelmed after seeing this. I know I was.
justduett2025-11-08 20:27
What else are people rushing to D+ to watch this week? It’s literally the biggest/newest release in a somewhat ghost town
Pristine-Passage-1002025-11-08 20:33
Their recently added section is advertising a making of special, as well as a Tyra Banks movie from 2000. That’s how sparse it is.
justduett2025-11-08 20:39
Wow. Thats tough!
I’ve been using D+, the app, a lot lately with Hulu and ESPN integrating more into it, but thinking more about it now, none of my viewing has been D+ stuff at all
Pristine-Passage-1002025-11-08 21:06
Mine is mixed, so my two examples might be Hulu for all I know.

There's that Kim Kardashian legal drama.... so yeah, not much else lmao
X_chinese2025-11-08 20:32
Disney should just stop with Disney+. Stop releasing their new movies to streaming after a few months. Now there is nothing interesting to watch on Disney+ except the new movies and nobody watch their movies in the theatres because they wait for the release on streaming.
YourInMySwamp2025-11-08 20:54
They have the entire Hulu library, there is plenty to watch on there in addition to the Disney titles.
matty_nice2025-11-08 21:33
Don't you have to pay extra for Hulu?
YourInMySwamp2025-11-08 21:48
$2
Wtygrrr2025-11-08 20:35
Obviously the newest major release is going to always be the #1 trending film. How is this meaningful?
Ragnarok_6192025-11-08 20:42
Somehow has to justify the movie is a a hit and blame audiences for not Watching it in theaters.
Doompatron30002025-11-08 21:24
Say it more louder so that Disney realizes this and stops dropping new movies a couple months later after it’s in theaters.,
Schmenza2025-11-08 21:41
You'd rather wait longer?
Doompatron30002025-11-08 21:52
I’d rather people actually go see the movie in theaters. Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four’s lack of success isn’t because the movie was bad, it was because people know it’ll come out a couple months later on Disney+. Guaranteed this hive mind thinking is going to also hurt the next Avatar movie as well and will be the first movie not to make over a billion dollars. Even Infinity War and Endgame wouldn’t be financially successful movies if they were released today. There’s a reason why new movies didn’t just appear on cable for years after release.
Spider-man20982025-11-08 22:14
I’m the minority and I’ve said this before, but Thunderbolts basically killed my enthusiasm for this franchise. FF gave it a brief resuscitation, but we’ll see how the various days of Brand New and Dooms hold up. I’m not optimistic.
I think having mental health issues and depression be the ‘main villain’ was interesting, but these movies never want to engage with deeper material at anything beyond a superficial level. A five minute conversation of platitudes, ending with a hug, is just not a satisfying conclusion to the themes this movie tried to grapple with. TB* wasn’t horrible by any stretch, it was just another mid-Marvel movie in a stretch of mid-Marvel movies. And I have no idea why I cared enough to type this out, but here we are.
Ragnarok_6192025-11-08 22:19
You are not alone, buddy. Marvel did better projects about mental health than Thunderbolts in the past, and honestly, the amount of praise it was getting was making me insane as if I was having some trouble understanding the movie. Nope, turns out it was recency bias, and the disappointing numbers it did in theaters AND streaming proved the general consensus too.
Spider-man20982025-11-08 22:24
Yeah, like maybe it’s unfair to compare because James Gunn is his own league, but the stuff they did with Rocket is a lot subtler and more impactful than anything in Thunderbolts*. Even Steve Rogers saying sadly “I had a date” gives you so much more to work with. I’m not joking when I say these movies helped shape me as a person and for the better, I think, but there’s just not the same juice as there used to be.
Ragnarok_6192025-11-08 22:27
Rocket and Rogers are some really good examples. I might also include Tony (Iron Man 3 specifically), Wanda (till Wandavision), Spidey (very subtle but effective) and Moon Knight here. Tons of examples of people handling mental health really well, but people acted like Thunderbolts did it better.
Spider-man20982025-11-08 23:16
Oh, totally, Tony is an incredible example of like, pathological levels of guilt and trauma sending him careening along wildly divergent paths across the movies. Guilt over weapons causes him to become Iron man, trauma over New York causes him to create Ultron, guilt over Ultron (and Sokovia) causes him to fight Cap. There’s more examples, but we see him literally hit rock bottom at the beginning of Endgame, before he’s ultimately healed by love of his child. It’s a wild ride.
I think Wandavision may have been where the cracks started to show, for me, anyway. It starts off strong, and really psychologically complex this eerie, psychedelic meditation on one woman’s grief and loss… that kinda ends with a red and purple cgi shitstorm and our first wtf platitude: “they’ll never know what you sacrificed.”
Damn, but I do love talking about this shit. We should start a podcast.
Doompatron30002025-11-08 22:25
I’m not sure if you exactly understood what Thunderbolts was trying to say.
First of all, they didn’t “beat” the villain, they subdued it. Mental illness is a lifelong battle, and with help from family/friends you can potentially overcome it. But that’s just one day, and not guaranteed that the next day to be completely gone.
“Oh no, talking and hugs!” Well, what were you expecting? A super pill to feed the void so that he explodes and is never heard of again? Again, it’s a movie about mental illness, which is something you can’t just punch and run from.
____mynameis____2025-11-08 20:37
Most, if not all MCU/Star Wars releases reach No 1 in D+ cuz they don't other high profile streaming projects.
ObiBenKenobi772025-11-08 20:37
Not suprising though.
ProductArizona2025-11-08 20:43

BravoLeader30002025-11-08 20:45
I rewatched it a couple days ago and enjoyed it far more on rewatch than I did when I saw it in theaters. While I'd have liked some more action and use of powers, I loved Johnny and Shalla-Bal's interactions.
EveryAccount77292025-11-08 20:46
DOES IT "seem like it's a hit"?
was quantumania the "top trending" when it 1st came out on Disney Plus? yes or no.
JRPG_Enjoyer2025-11-08 20:48
Rewatched it the other night. The intro montage was cool, makes you wonder why Gunn’s Superman didn’t do something similar showing him saving lives and fighting fun villains like toy man or livewire. Instead we got 3 paragraphs.
AsteroidMike2025-11-08 20:54

Theangelawhite692025-11-08 22:17

It seems like all Marvel movies are always a hit on D+
People still has a lot of interest into Marvel even when they say that "The MCU died with endgame", is just that the interest isn't enough to go to cinemas, lol
matty_nice2025-11-08 21:33
D+ doesn't really have a lot of new movies, it doesn't really have a lot of new content. So anytime it does get something new, I'm sure it does well for the platform. F4FS isn't really competing with anything else new on D+.
N8CCRG2025-11-08 23:14
> is just that the interest isn't enough to go to cinemas
Yup. Post-pandemic theater attendance [has plateaued at around 60%](https://www.the-numbers.com/market/) of what it was pre-pandemic.
But revenues for streaming are very clearly significant. For example, Disney spent [$650 million dollars for Andor](https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/andor-creator-disney-budget-streaming-dead-1236416780/) which won't make a single penny in theaters.
All of the old box office math that places like /r/boxoffice treat as natural law don't really make any sense anymore, and Hollywood isn't releasing the data it has for us to know the new math.
Christopher_Home2025-11-09 00:01
In my opinion, the streaming services really hurt the box office results. Why go to a theater if you can watch it at home 3 months later? Kind of funny they play up those streaming numbers when those numbers are probably taking away from the important number, box office results.
Horvat532025-11-09 00:00
People are ok waiting or don’t want to spend the money, when they can wait a few months and see it at home.
Appropriate-Storm8012025-11-08 21:24
I didn;t watch it in theatres and honestly I'm glad I saved my money. Not to say it was bad, it's a perfectly fine movie but nothing really special enough to spend money on IMAX. Definitely not the craziest use of $200m and honestly, I wish I also waited to see superman at home but I fell for the hype (also another perfectly fine blockbuster that wasn't an edge-of-your-seat spectacle that warranted the imax treatment)
SVALTACT2025-11-08 21:25
Not to be a downer, but this would only be a story if it wasn't # 1 on D+.

spidervenom6192025-11-08 22:22
Almost as if we are living in different times from 10 years ago and should really thinking about changing how we viewed movies and don't based everything if's it did great in a dying system in the movie theaters or something.
wolf_of_mainst992025-11-08 22:27
I felt very underwhelmed by the scientific aspects of the movie. One of the smartest people in the world takes his pregnant wife into outer space, which is very stupid and reckless but hey if he didn't Galactus wouldn't have known about the baby and there wouldn't have been any plot. Also the invisible woman doesn't realize she can see the baby in here womb until the third trimester. Galactus was in the solar system but took a long time to get to earth, like he could have been there in minutes. Galactus can change sizes so at the end he could have just increased sizes and stepped on the device Reed built. Galactus has been all around the universe even transporting him to somewhere else in the universe he still most likely knows where he is.
Brees5042025-11-08 22:53
It’s the first new movie in a while on D+. It would be a complete disaster if it didn’t open big. This is meaningless at the end of the day.
oonahyeahokay2025-11-08 23:00
Im a massive fan of all comic/sci fi/fantasy movies. MCU, DCU and every alternate world in between.
Maybe I was too stoned when I watched this movie, but I’m sorry, it was TERRIBLE. It felt like a montage that never arrived at the point they were intending?
Anyway I’m glad people liked it, because the more people watch these movies the more the studios keep churning them out. And I’m here for that.
Endgam2025-11-08 23:04
*Gee, ya don't suppose it's the movie theater experience that people are sick off and not necessarily Marvel films, do ya?*
Even our *Great Satan* Martin "Real Cinema" Scorsese makes films for streaming services and not theaters nowadays. (And trashes Marvel films while promoting said straight to streaming films. *Hint hint.*)
merlin482025-11-08 23:11
I watched it the first night it was available on D+, but that had a LOT to do with my wife being out of town and us cancelling D+ next week.
FWIW, it was a fine movie. Started off really strong but the third act didn't really stick the landing.
thevokplusminus2025-11-08 23:16
