Florence Pugh is so terrific in Thunderbolts* that she carries an entire Marvel movie on her shoulders. She manages this throughout the otherwise largely cumbersome Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) proceedings all while making you laugh at her dark dry wit and delight in her tough, no-nonsense fighting skills. You believe in her nearly suicidal depression and even tear up a bit at her most poignant moment in the film.

How about eternal life and superhuman killing power?
