Despite the recent wave of superhero fatigue that has been whittling audience’s attention spans, Marvel’s “Thunderbolts*” offers a refreshing, thought-provoking take on the stalling genre. Marvel films have been criticized for their lack of depth in recent years, but “Thunderbolts*” aims to set Marvel on a new path.

During the summer of his sophomore year, Kabir Mehra ’26 decided to reach out to some of his friends to “jam out” some of the songs he had been workshopping on his guitar. By week three of summer term, the group had fleshed out a repertoire of songs and formed a band: Day Drooler. This band is more “just a group of friends,” Mehra said. Christian Smith ’27 and Nathan McAllister ’25, who play lead guitar and saxophone respectively, had done gigs with Mehra the spring before Day Drooler’s formation. Grant Foley ’25, who plays the drums, and Ian Glick ’26, who plays bass, both became friends with Mehra through the Dartmouth music scene.
