    Dumb article just trying to throw random nothing to talk about. This reveal literally happens in the end credits, and it’s guaranteed that it will be said maybe once in the next movie and then never again. No one who follows the comics will have any time to be confused about shit. Even the post credit scene makes fun of it already.

      Yeah, I’m on team “They’re no Avengers”. I love the fact that it was immediately ridiculed in-world.

      Jesus. Is anyone actually supposed to take John “Formally Captain America” Walker seriously as an Avenger? Spider-Man had to hustle for that kind of cred, and he was a well-liked homegrown hero with actual powers. Are we all supposed to start calling these folks that just because he, Congressman Winter Soldier, and an group of unfamiliar but suspiciously darkly-attired supers were labeled as such after they happened to appear during a cataclysm that coincided with a desperate press conference by a disgraced CIA director?

      No fucking way. Those are not The New Avengers. Those are “the new Avengers” or the Notvengers or the B-vengers or Bucky’s kids or anything other than a straight faced “New Avengers”. I expect them to likely stick with Thunderbolts, honestly. It would clearly be better than one of the sarcastic derisive nicknames.
