Great review, and I'm so glad that Marvel has had such success with Thunderbolts! I do sometimes wonder if folks have been too hard on the MCU's post-Endgame content, particularly Secret Invasion and The Marvels in 2023.
I think they have - Marvel overreacted to complaints about the complexity of their metanarrative(s) and made things less connected until now. The writers' strike didn't help at all, either - listening to interviews with Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier, it's clear that the strike slowed things down a lot. And it's also clear that the strike really screwed The Marvels as well, which is a shame.
