Marvel’s Thunderbolts: Mental Health and the Death Spiral

 Re-watching Marvel‘s Thunderbolts movie for the first time. What a great movie. When they originally announced this cast, I wasn’t really interested. But they proved me wrong and knocked it out out of the park. 


The only thing missing is a major one, and it’s the most important thing of all. And that’s Jesus. The movie did a beautiful job addressing mental health issues. But without God’s love, brought to its fullness in the work of Christ and brought to application by the Holy Spirit, wrestling with mental health issues is a pointless spiral, winding around and around until one’s life is over. It serves no purpose, and does nothing fruitful in the end.
