The “Yes. We are aware” THU[N]DERBOLTS* teaser trailer.

I don’t know why it’s ‘Thunderbolts*.’ I do know that the people who made this movie are under no illusions about just how far the MCU has fallen. This looks like… well, it pretty much is what you have left after your original Avenger draws died (Iron Man), retired (Cap), died (Black Widow), is absolutely through with this [expletive deleted] (Hawkeye), been relegated to comic relief (Thor), or is being played by Mark Ruffalo.
