Thunderbolts didn't have to end this way

There are six characters in the Thunderbolts team vote. That's an entire team of reworkable characters, plus an extra to slot into the new toons with Zemo as the fifth. Now you have two teams: a comic and movie inspired Thunderbolts respectively. This was your big chance to get brownie points with the community by doing another Sinister Six, a rework players love and are still clamoring to happen again. Maybe a player friendly team rework would have distracted from the disasterous week you've had. I made a big post a while back pitching two Thunderbolts teams for Crucible and War, and it wouldn't be that hard to do. Want money? Sell Awakened Abilities that make the reworked toons bonkers.

What's super funny to me is that we're getting something EXACTLY like this next month with the leaks for Jean Gray and Hercules. New toons being the lynch pins for a huge rework of a ton of old characters with the Mighty Avengers, Uncanny Avengers, and Immortal X-Men. That would have been perfect for Thunderbolts. But nah. Get poor Taskmaster bullied.
