Thunderbolts Director on Shame Rooms, Credits Scene and Depression
variety.com
"Thunderbolts*" director Jake Schreier talks about the post-credits scene, what Bucky and the Red Guardian's shame rooms would've been, and making a summer blockbuster about depression.

When did you shoot the end credit scene?

That was shot maybe four weeks ago, and I did not direct that. That’s the Russos on the set of “Avengers: Doomsday”. I got to be there, which was very fun, to watch your buddies go on to this grander scale.

    The post credits did have a jarringly different tone than the rest of the film, so I guess this is why. I haven’t really liked anything since Endgame, but I thought this was pretty great. Nothing groundbreaking, but well directed, and Pugh and Harbour really elevate the material. I nearly skipped it after that Captain America slop, but I’m glad I didn’t.

    What was this movie even about?! Lol, we left after the umpteenth pointless fight scene.

      And it’s still better than anything Hack Snyder ever made.

      Weird, but predictable.

          300 is good, but that’s because the source material is a series of splash pages with one-dimensional characters and no subtext. He’s a visually stunning director, and 300 played to that strength, but he’s an awful storyteller.

          I disagree.

          The only movie he directed that’s good is the one he had nothing to do with the script:

          Dawn of the Dead, written by Gunn. Not a great movie, but better than anything Snyder had to do after.

            Haven’t seen it, will definitely do!

            Interestingly, 300 has higher popcornmeter but dawn of the dead has higher tomatometer score on rotten tomatoes

              I don’t consider the Tomato score for anything. No offense. I’m an old man, and there are on handful of people whose opinion I value, and respect. And none of them vote on Rotten Tomatoes.

              The Dawn movie I mentioned is decent. It’s not great, but not terrible.

              But check it out, it’s not a waste of time.
