In this powerful episode of Locked Off Logic, we dive deep into Marvel's Thunderbolts* — a film that may surprise audiences with its raw take on trauma, depression, and redemption.
This isn’t your typical MCU rollercoaster. Behind the explosions and sarcasm, we find broken heroes — survivors of war, betrayal, loss, and moral compromise — trying to find their footing in a world that keeps moving on without them.
Tyler and Sam unpack each major character’s emotional arc and reflect on how Thunderbolts* gives space to real conversations about mental health, moral injury, survivor’s guilt, and how healing isn’t always heroic — sometimes it’s just surviving the day.
Whether you’re a Marvel fan or someone looking for stories that go beneath the surface, this episode is for you.
