But with Thunderbolts*, Marvel proved that credits aren’t something you sit through to get to the teaser; they can be an extension of the story itself. End titles, the illustrated sequences showing the stars before the main end credits, are usually full of striking images and symbolism, but Thunderbolts* took them one step farther. In Thunderbolts*, the end credits serve as a sort of epilogue, showing the press reaction to The New Avengers and revealing the new title of the movie. “The audience didn't quite know how to respond after they announced that they're the New Avengers now,” Koff reveals. John Walker’s bent shield becomes a Don Quixote-esque steed in the Thunderbolts* end credits.
