I also see them kinda as the Falcons. High hopes, good start, complete fall-off, and then a surprisingly solid finish that gives just enough hope that your heart breaks when it happens all over again.
Dude, you so such a great job telling these sad stories. You really get hooked and feel the pain of the team. It just makes me more glad I like the Savage Speeders.
They finished 6th in Marbula 1 Season 2, and then finish top of their group in qualifying for the 2021 Marble League. Guess that silver medal was a sign of things to come.
Oceanics fan here and I know how frustrated Thunderbolts fans are. They are like our long lost brothers: we share this awful medalless record, we share the total amount of points in all Marble Leagues history 'till now (451), we share our destiny: from hope to collapse, from title contenders to nothing more than sparring partners. But our time, your time will come! Nobody seems to remember how good you were and it will be a surprise to show them how good you still are.
Update: It’s October, and last month, they finished in the top half, in 8th, which marks their first top-half finish since their 6th place in Marbula One Season 2.
For individual marbles, I think Mary deserves a downfall video because back in 2017, she won a gold medal in the first event, the funnel endurance. That made her a strong leader for her team Now, in 2020, Mary has been known to be a horrible performing marble considering she got 18th in the funnels for the 2020 qualifiers and dead last in the individual standings for Marbula One S1, forcing her to not only get replaced by Rima for S2, but also forcing her to resign as captain and to pass the position over to Imar
considering Speedy''s result last race, and Bolt's result on todays race, can you do a video on Rapidly, before it's next race, just wanna check something :V
Yes, at least they won't retire Limers are retiring though, and I feel bad! Rojo rollers may do as well Anyway, I'll be going wild for team Plasma and team Galactic
They may be Thunderchokers but they're MY Thunderchokers. They're my second favorite team, used to be my first for years untill I got fed up and just stopped watching them choke year after year and the fact that the Chargers abandoned San Diego(which is what drew me to the T-bolts in the first place being a Chargers fan.). Oceanics are my #1 now. Hate if you want but I've aleays rooted for them as well.
No, I get it. I completely understand the frustration. However, I'm sticking with the Thunderbolts to the end. First in ML qualification is a good start!
I'm a Cubs and Thunderbolts fan. Life is hard. My only hope is that the Thunderbolts can eventually become great, just like the Cubs did. Let's just hope it doesn't take 100 years.
He's not lieing I used to be a Thunderbolt fan but they let me down i really got mad even tho it just marble world it seem like marble racing is real to me
I was originally going to do that, but I decided to wait it out. If they win the season they’ll get their championship video. But, if they fail, they’ll probably get a “How did the CCE blow this big lead” video
Now fast forward to 2023 and they are DEAD LAST overall! I expected better from this team... But something has to change soon or they'll continue to be mired in mediocrity, hardly ever contending for any event... I'm sure a re-SURGE-nt comeback will be happening soon...
Fellow Thunderbolts fans unite in the comment section 😭

Now in 2021, they're showing how to stay relevant with barely any medals. They've turned impressively consistent
2022 misses out on ML
Also 2022: nearly RELEGATED
but them,the SNOWBALLS,and the JUNGLE JUMPERS DID THE TRIO OF SAFETY
2021 Was their second prime. Now in 2023, last place, no top 8 finishes in the first 6 EVENTS 😢
And on top of that their poor performance in Marbula one season 3 and 4
Being a Thunderbolts fan is so fitting. Watching their success is like seeing a bolt of lightning; it's super exciting, and then it's gone in a flash.
Alternate Title: What the Hell happened to the Thunderbolts?
If urinating tree made a video about the thunderbolts, it’d be this title lol
lol
Limers: Juiced Out
@@maelrange6728Balls of Chaos: Anarchy’s aftermath
Literally the Sand Diego/ Los Angeles Chargers of Marble Racing. Start strong, can't finish, Pain ensues
As an American Football fan, I 100% agree with this comparison.
@@MarbleSportsFilms Fitting given the colors and name as well. Shame I fell for the trap again but, at least I have the Green Ducks as my 2nd favorite
@@schurgy16 quack!

The browns of marble racing but worse
I wanna see a video on the comeback the Thunderbolts have shown in the 2021 ML, been the most consistent team the ML has ever seen
can't believe my eyes and attention was glued to a marble video. good stuff
Dude, you so such a great job telling these sad stories. You really get hooked and feel the pain of the team. It just makes me more glad I like the Savage Speeders.
Thank you!
They finished 6th in Marbula 1 Season 2, and then finish top of their group in qualifying for the 2021 Marble League. Guess that silver medal was a sign of things to come.
They also finished 5th in the Marble League Winter Special.
Something truly depressing about JMR
I know Right!
"the worst streak"
Mary's streak in Marbula: 16th, 14th, 16th, 16th
*AND CUE THE SAD MUSIC*
Me, thunderbolt fan, laugh-crying in my bedroom. Oh, how I have known pain
I just love the lore that the original Thunderbolts speak through sign language.
i came here from your comment on the latest marbula one race, i was expecting quality content..
and you delivered! subbed
Thank you! So glad to have you on board🙂
Same😂
thunderbolts must’ve seen this video with their great start in the ML this year 😳
Theyve been the best overall team by a mile
My downfall videos must be good luck charms or something. So which struggling team wants one?😂
Edit: now they get pole?!? Geez
Probably hornets:(
hazers pls, i mean.. they're not really struggling in general, but the marbula one season 2 performances so far are pretty concerning
After This Marbula one season Maybe a crazy cat eyes docu?
limers
If possible: Oceanics? I’m fan myself of #GORANGERS and would love to laugh at our rivals!
Who's here after the Thunderbolts got 3rd in the ML23 qualifying group? Glad they're back!
Me
Spoiler
2022:they don't qualify for the Marble League 2022
The downfall of a team is always sad, but it happens.
1 bronze medal and none other in 2021. The medalless streak returned until 2021 E13
WELL THIS DIDNT AGE TOO WELL
More of these videos please
Thunderbolt were so close to winning the 2016 league. I guess that ends up hurting them really hard in the mental side since then
I am a thunderbolts fan and I am really disappointed in there performance in ML 2020. I feel like they can do better tho
this is our year, man
Strike Thunder Strike ! Our Thunder Strike soon prob through the years we gonna be winning
"Now usually the JMR retire teams if they're irrelevant."
*Why are the Pinkies and the Limers still in the League then?*
Say that about the Pinkies again
I suggest that you need to continue of this series.

this video would age terribly if it werent for the last 2 events
im a team momo fan at heart but go bolts!! you can do it
Came here after they got 3rd in Sleet Street in Marbula One.
And now they finish dead last in the first event of Winter ML 2020😭
@Hirsch Vagish Then choking again.
This guy definitely watches sb nation
What about the Marble League 2021 Winter Special?
Event 1 - 16th (Standings 16th)
Event 2 - 2nd (Standings 6th)
Event 3 - 1st (Standings 2nd)
Event 4 - 10th (Standings 2nd)
Event 5 - 11th (Standings 5th)
This was months ago
Which team/individual marble do you think deserves a downfall video next? Comment!
Oh, there's a lot. Mellow Yellow, Raspberry Racers, Hazers, Limers, Snowballs, etc.
For individual marbles, I think Mary deserves a downfall video because back in 2017, she won a gold medal in the first event, the funnel endurance. That made her a strong leader for her team Now, in 2020, Mary has been known to be a horrible performing marble considering she got 18th in the funnels for the 2020 qualifiers and dead last in the individual standings for Marbula One S1, forcing her to not only get replaced by Rima for S2, but also forcing her to resign as captain and to pass the position over to Imar
LIMERS! My poor Limers failed to qualify 3 years in a row for ML now :( Don't roast them please, but they deserve to be talked about.
@@prodbydripz9676 haha I try and kept things professional but I’ll probably throw in a little joke every once in a while🙃
Turtle Sliders. They just kinda stand alone from the rest of the pack, forgotten.
The Thunderbolts would have WON the Marble League 2016 if it hadn't been for the terrible scoring system.
Actually, they would have been 2nd by 3 points, 144 to 147 behind the Speeders. Still would gain a spot, as Mellow Yellow would have 142.
Your content and videos are good
This was a real *shock*
If u watch Marble Premiere racing it's a team call the Thunderbirds they was my fav to but they let me down bad
considering Speedy''s result last race, and Bolt's result on todays race, can you do a video on Rapidly, before it's next race, just wanna check something :V
Coming back to this video to celebrate TBs barely surviving the first round of MS100 🥳
Yes, at least they won't retire
Limers are retiring though, and I feel bad! Rojo rollers may do as well
Anyway, I'll be going wild for team Plasma and team Galactic
5:23 And right out of the blue. Get it, cause that’s their colour?
4th PLACE M1 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
This is starting to age...
Thunderbolts. The first victims of the third place curse.
The thunderbolts from first to worst was sad 😥
**Laughs in Oceanics**
Witch roster is better? The 2016 one?
or the 2020 one?
Reply with ur opinion.
Now with a second place in the Marbula1 will they redeem themselves? #ROLLINGTHUNDER
Sometimes this team makes me wish I was a Savage Speeders fan. Btw how r u doing nowadays?
I think they’ve came back a bit
When is the downfall of the minty maniacs video?
5 races in marbula one and thunderbolts have 1 point, '1'.
They may be Thunderchokers but they're MY Thunderchokers. They're my second favorite team, used to be my first for years untill I got fed up and just stopped watching them choke year after year and the fact that the Chargers abandoned San Diego(which is what drew me to the T-bolts in the first place being a Chargers fan.).

No, I get it. I completely understand the frustration. However, I'm sticking with the Thunderbolts to the end. First in ML qualification is a good start!
Oceanics in water events. when was the first time that oceanics got a top 8 finish in a water event
Bold/random prediction: thunderbolts will win a marbula one race this year
So close...
@@RichardJohansson still eight races left
@@RichardJohansson And again...
The Chicago Cubs of marble sports...I bleed for ya Bolts!
I'm a Cubs and Thunderbolts fan. Life is hard. My only hope is that the Thunderbolts can eventually become great, just like the Cubs did. Let's just hope it doesn't take 100 years.
2023: Dead last almost every event in 2023.
As a thunderbolts fan I get sade, BUT he did not say about the marbula 1 season 2!! We came 3rd!!!
Why not make make a hazers down fall because they got relegated 😅
They’re basically the Browns of the Marble Racing (only football 🏈 fans will understand)
can we point out for 12 events they got no medals and they were 6th by event 13 WITH NO MEDALS
Funny what happened after this came out...
They actually did decent in 2021 but they failed to qualify in 2022
He's not lieing I used to be a Thunderbolt fan but they let me down i really got mad even tho it just marble world it seem like marble racing is real to me
create a video of four podiums in a row for crazy cats eye
I was originally going to do that, but I decided to wait it out. If they win the season they’ll get their championship video. But, if they fail, they’ll probably get a “How did the CCE blow this big lead” video
Ok
who's here after the 2021 qualifiers?
Me
Next do Captain penguin in marble racing premier
How well would you say this video has aged?
It’s comparable to how well milk ages
@Hirsch Vagish they’re definitely not terrible anymore, just thought it was funny that they started to become good immediately after he made the video
I think the Speeders are heading for path B
Rapidly got 16th in qualiers now and only got it because yellowup had a dnf 😫
tell me about it
@@godwin21318 Then Rapidly failed to qualify for a race.
Was a reason given outside of lore for the retirement?
Based on what I’ve read, lore was basically the only reason.
tbo just starts good but finishes bad
*coughs* speed is key *coughs*
Bro i though they started in 2015 this was a horrible franchise but they was good in there first year ever
I am a fan of the thunderbolts
Oceanics and Mellow Yellow are good teams for this videos
It's almost as if these things are rigged or something
The thunderbolts is now a mediocre team neither good nor bad
Damn, this really didn’t age well huj
can someone tel me why I'm crying over f**king marbles
Show this video the the pinkies 😌 they wont even blow an eye.
This is the most aged video in sports history
Cut to 2022 after the wishful thinking at the end...
Now fast forward to 2023 and they are DEAD LAST overall! I expected better from this team... But something has to change soon or they'll continue to be mired in mediocrity, hardly ever contending for any event... I'm sure a re-SURGE-nt comeback will be happening soon...
