Okay, real talk—Marvel’s cooking up new squads faster than TikTok trends come and go. And now with Thunderbolts kinda forming the “New Avengers,” fans are like… “Wait, who are these people again?” 🫠
So let’s do what Gen Z does best—rank, roast, and rant about what’s hot and what’s just not. Are the new faces serving iconic energy or just giving budget knockoffs of our OG legends?
🧠 Meet the “New” Avengers (a.k.a. Marvel’s Soft Reboot)
Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh)
She’s giving chaotic good, big sister vibes, and major sass. Kinda the moment, not gonna lie. But can she lead like Nat? Hmm… not yet, queen.Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan)
Still brooding. Still fine. Has trauma for breakfast. Been around forever but feels emotionally unavailable. Like your fave emotionally damaged ex, but make it Marvel.Red Guardian (David Harbour)
Kinda like Russian Cap but if he drank Monster instead of serum. Comic relief? For sure. Combat-ready? Debatable.John Walker (Wyatt Russell)
Dollar-store Cap vibes. Tried to be THAT guy. Failed the vibe check. Redemption arc pending.Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen)
Ghosts through walls. Also ghosts the storyline. Cool powers, but personality? Still buffering…Sentry (Lewis Pullman)
Okay now HE is scary powerful. Like, lowkey a literal god-tier hero… but also possibly a walking mental breakdown. Imagine Superman with intrusive thoughts. Yeah.
👑 The OG Avengers: Legends Who Walked So Others Could Run
Iron Man (Tony Stark)
Literally built the MCU. Charisma? Maxed out. Sacrificed himself like a boss. He didn’t just carry the Avengers—he was the Avengers the Great Robert Downey Jr.Captain America (Steve Rogers)
Soft boy with abs of steel. Led with honor, stayed loyal, and made you believe in justice. No one’s holding that shield like Cap, and it shows.Thor Odinson
God of Thunder and God of Glow-Ups. From golden locks to dad bod to Stormbreaker beast-mode—he’s still iconic no matter the phase.Hulk (Bruce Banner)
Dual personality but make it intellectual. Hulk smash, but with PhD. OG muscle + brains combo that hit different.Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff)
Deadly, graceful, and full of emotional depth. She was that silent storm who held the team together. We still ain’t over Endgame.Hawkeye (Clint Barton)
The most “normal” Avenger but had the most heart. Sharp aim and dad jokes. We stan a relatable king.
💥 Power Level Check: Who’s OP and Who’s Just Trying?
Sentry: He’s built like a cheat code. Super strength, speed, flight—you name it. But he’s lowkey scary because when he breaks, it’s not cute.
Yelena: Mad skills, killer instincts, and major vibe. She’s got that dog in her, but not quite at OG Black Widow levels… yet.
Bucky: He’s got that super soldier serum, the Wakandan tech, and a LOT of baggage. Still, we kinda love the trauma-to-hero arc.
Red Guardian: Strong but low-stamina. Kinda like your gym bro who skips leg day.
John Walker: Strong, angry, but a bit of a loose cannon. Not sure he’s passing the hero vibe check.
Ghost: Stealth queen, but inconsistent. She’s cool for stealth ops but lacks team energy.
The OGs? Literally overpowered and overqualified. Iron Man’s tech, Thor’s lightning, Hulk’s rage, Widow’s agility, and Cap’s leadership made them that squad.
💫 Vibe Check: Chemistry & Team Dynamics
Let’s not lie—the OGs had their drama, but they also had chemistry for days.
Tony and Steve’s beef was the drama. But when they teamed up, it was like fireworks.
Thor and Hulk? Bickering bros with smash energy.
Nat and Clint? Platonic soulmates, period.
The new squad? Kinda like a group project where no one talks in the WhatsApp group. They’re not synced. They’re giving “just met on Discord” energy. No shade. Just facts.
😩 Emotional Arcs: Who’s Making Us Feel Something?
OGs: Literal tearjerkers. Tony’s sacrifice? Steve’s dance with Peggy? Natasha’s death? They didn’t just save the world—they broke our hearts and made it cinematic.
Newbies: Still cooking. Yelena’s grief over Nat was a moment though. Bucky’s therapy scenes? Top-tier. But the rest? Need more screen time and better arcs. Sorry not sorry.
👀 Scoreboard: Who’s Giving Main Character Energy?
| Character | Vibe | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Yelena | Slay | Insta follow 💅 |
| Bucky | Moody king | Would cry with him 😢 |
| Red Guardian | Goofy dad | Meme-worthy 🤡 |
| John Walker | Problematic | Red flag 🚩 |
| Ghost | Mysterious | Still pending 🕵️ |
| Sentry | Unstable OP | Kinda terrifying 😳 |
🔮 Can They Ever Match the OGs Avengers!?
Maybe. If Marvel gives them proper stories, solid direction, and a shared mission—maybe. Right now though? It’s like comparing Taylor Swift’s debut album to Midnights—one’s nostalgic perfection, the other’s still growing on us.
They got potential, but they ain’t legends yet.
🏁 Final Take: OGs Stay Unmatched
Let’s not pretend—the OG Avengers are still living rent-free in our heads. They weren’t just heroes. They were moments. Iconic. Timeless. Unforgettable.
The new squad? Kinda vibing, kinda struggling. We’re rooting for them, but until they give us a “Mr. Stark, I don’t feel so good” level moment… it’s OG supremacy for us. 💯
What do you think? Is the new generation gonna rise or flop? Let’s argue in the comments. 😤👇
