The film will be written and directed by McCarthy’s husband, Ben Falcone
So it's gonna be terrible. It'll fit right in with most Netflix originals.

I was so hyped till they got to that part :(

Her husband keeps dragging her down. She’d have a better career if she stopped working with him.

Meh.

“The film will be written and directed by McCarthy’s husband” and there goes any chance of this being decent. I get working with your husband gets you both a check but shit... do better. I say as she was just nominated for an Oscar lol.

Oh gods, not her husband.

I was excited to see two plus size women over 40 in a superhero film but then I saw it’s being made by Ben Falcons.

It would be nice if they didn't have to make it about the size though. I could be wrong but the word "thunder" makes me think it'll be a bunch of fat jokes rather than just a cool superhero movie with amazing actresses.

Yeah, the name makes me real leery. Like, sure, it COULD be cool and body-positive but somehow I suspect it's going to wade through a whole lot of unnecessary bullshit to get there.
