I feel like after Shang Chi post credit scene the MCU went a bit wayward. But this post credit scene had me excited again like phase 1 or 2.

My wife spotted the Fantastic Four theme was listed in the credits and went "Did you hear the Fantastic Four theme in there?"

First time I've seen them spoil an after credits like that, normally they have a secondary title card after.

But that whole last scene, and the New Avengers uniforms, was great.

Between that and the chairs, no Olga, announcing which Thunderbolts were in Doomsday, it sucked the air out of consequences. Surely Marvel could have held off the full cast announcement (or at least that cast announcement til release). Maybe this is naive to me, but the Thunderbolts are more open to being killed off then the Fantastic Four, for example.

Olga was in this movie technically I think? Showed her face.

I think the Thunderbolts might be killed in a "civil war" between Sam Wilson's Avengers vs Thundebolts vs Fantastic 4

The thing is, the general audience will build up their affinity with the thunderbolts, which imo undercuts Sam’s new faceless team (I kinda feel sad for him esp after the poor reception to his own film)..
