6 Thoughts on Captain America: Brave New World (Review)
Our year of new Marvel content has begun, with Captain America: Brave New World kicking off an entire 2025 of new movies and shows. I’m super excited! I remain a diehard Marvel fan, and there’s very little that’s going to knock me from my perch. Judge me if you will, but I really enjoyed this fourth Captain America film.
Movie Rating: 6/10 – Pretty Good
Falcon and the Winter Soldier is probably my second favorite of the Marvel Studios TV shows. I thought it was an awesome show, with great themes, characters and more. Exploring African American history through the lens of Captain America was a great idea, and I think that show pulled it off nicely. So I was very much looking forward to Sam Wilson getting his own Cap movie. And while I know a lot of people are sour on this movie for some reason, I had a blast.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the movie. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/15/25
Readers, you would not believe the month I’m having. Jeez louise. I’m only one man! But at least we’ve got good comics still coming out, like Absolute Batman and the new One World Under Doom.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Green Lantern Corps #1 for a nice return to form for the GL stories I enjoy. Give me all the space cops!
Meanwhile, I’ve got to buy a new car. And I did not save up for having to buy a new car, even though I knew I needed to. So I’m buying this thing based on what savings I do have at the moment, so it’s not great! Which means I’ve got to make Dragon Age: Veilguard and Stardew Valley last a bit longer in terms of entertainment. Avowed and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II are going to have to wait!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #5, Green Lantern Corps #1, One World Under Doom #1 and X-Men #11.

In this content drought that is winter, I’m open to enjoying and posting most anything. Like this trailer for a new A24 movie called Friendship, starring Paul Rudd and Tim Robinson. Looks like it’ll be funny!
Looks like they’re turning a wacky buddy comedy into a tense thriller. I like that approach. Though now that I think about it, why not just make a wacky buddy comedy that stays a wacky buddy comedy, but it’s filmed like a tense thriller? Movies should be more experimental like that. Or maybe this one is just gonna be a weird, fun one. I could go for one of those.
Friendship comes to theaters in May!

Thunderbolts* Still Looks Fun as Hell!
I didn’t watch the Super Bowl because I never watch the Super Bowl. It’s just not my thing. But you best believe I watched the new Thunderbolts* trailer the moment I saw it show up online. And it still looks fun as all heck!
The trailer is a little choppy for my tastes, but the song is a fun choice and the humor/head butting still looks super entertaining. I have a lot of high hope for this film. I think Thunderbolts* is going to tap into the same charm as the first Avengers film, wherein we take familiar (or semi-familiar) characters and have them team up and butt heads and banter, then learn to work as a team. That’s exactly what I want to see, and that’s exactly what it looks like we’ll get, so yeah, I have high hopes.
Thunderbolts* comes to theaters on May 2!
And this weekend is Captain America: Brave New World! So that’s fun too.
