Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Cinemental, we dive deep into Marvel’s Thunderbolts and explore the mental health themes that lie beneath the action-packed surface. We break down why Marvel gets it right—starting with real people and building them into heroes—while DC often falls short by reversing that formula.

🔥 Topics We Cover:

Why Marvel focuses on mental health and human depth

Who is the best Batman of all time? (You might be surprised!)

A critique of DC vs. Marvel in terms of emotional realism and character building

A deep dive into the psychological profiles of Thunderbolts characters

🧠 Pop Culture Check-In:
We also discuss the viral Kristi Noem interview—could this be the tipping point toward fascism in the U.S.? We explore how media, politics, and public psychology intersect in today’s America.

👀 If you're into film analysis, mental health in media, superhero psychology, and bold takes on pop culture and politics, this episode is for you.
