Thunderbolts' Suicide Mission Could Explain Sentry In The MCU

In Marvel Comics , Sentry is both a grinder and a villain , because he has an evil side known as The Void , which can sometimes take over . The Void is a major threat , and has even effortlessly ripped a deity in half in the past . If the Thunderbolts were go away to be sent up against a terror that would likely pour down them , it is very possible the initial plan forThunderboltswas to pit the squad against this villainous side of Sentry .

No member of the Thunderbolts in the MCU seems like they could bear up to Sentry . This intend it would make sense that the originalThunderboltsstory would be key out as institutionalize the team on a charge that would in all likelihood terminate in their dying . Having the Thunderbolts be sent after Sentry when he is still a hero , then having him thumb to The Void and kill team members would have been a very impactful means to show the difference between his two side .

Sentry Killing The Thunderbolts Would Make Him A Bigger MCU Threat

While the Thunderbolts are far from the Avengers in term of power , that does n’t mean they are totally helpless . Bucky , John Walker , and Red Guardian are all super soldier , Yelena and Taskmaster are both highly skilled fighters , and Ghost has unique power that can make her a major menace . Seeing a squad of established heroes and former villain get taken down by Sentry alone would show audience just how big of a threat he really is .

Only Thanos has ever vote out multiple heroeson a team before in the MCU . If Sentry made his introduction by killing an intact team , he would set up himself up as one of the braggart scourge yet . This would also be a fresh contrast from some of Marvel ’s late decisions when it comes to introducing big baddie in the MCU .

Thunderbolts' Original Plan Is Braver Than Marvel Has Been In Years

Marvel ’s attack to introduce Kang as a major scoundrel to the MCU go bad even beforeJonathan Majors was fired . Kang felt somewhat toothless , especially because versions of him got killed off by both Sylvie and Ant - Manand the Wasp slightly easily . forward ofAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumania , there were rumors that Kang would kill Scott Lang , but it seems like Marvel decide to recreate it safe instead . acquaint Sentry and allowing him to obliterate off major fictional character would have been a vast risk , but one that would have felt sheer and exciting .

Marvel rarely kills major characters , sokilling both Bucky and Yelena in a single motion picture would have been unprecedented for an MCU entranceway that was n’t also a major event likeAvengers : Infinity War . It would also have been the only other time Marvel take into account one of their movies to end with the full defeat of its primary wedge besidesInfinity War . A bold move like this from Marvel could have get going a long way to reivigorating interest in the MCU . Hopefully , even after the script change , Thunderboltscan still deliver a story that is just as exciting .
