'Thunderbolts*' Ending Changes 'Avengers' Canon - But Not The Way You Think
Briefly

In the conclusion of Thunderbolts*, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine rebrands the team as 'The New Avengers' after they inadvertently save the city. Initially intending to control them fully through the Sentry, Valentina adapts her strategy when things don't go as planned. However, Yelena's assertive statement, 'We own you,' indicates that the newly formed Avengers are not relinquishing their autonomy. This ending alters established comic book lore and raises questions about the future dynamics within the Marvel universe as they redefine what being an Avenger means.
Valentina uses her authority to give credit to the team for saving the city, dubbing them 'The New Avengers'. This was not her initial plan, showing clever adaptability.
Yelena whispers to Valentina, 'We own you,' suggesting the team may be under CIA sponsorship but retains control over their actions and narrative.
