I read some Thunderbolts comics that had Red Hulk, Punisher, Elektra, Deadpool, and Venom and it was so fucking cool. But I guess that's not really what the Thunderbolts are all about since that's a bunch of anti heroes, not a bunch of villains pretending/trying to be heroes.

This is actually one of my least favorite runs, but I dropped it before it supposedly got good. Charles Soule is an extremely fun writer though and I recommend his other works. But this seems like what they're trying to base this Thunderbolts idea off of.

But yeah, this was a bad era for Thunderbolts that got away from what they were meant to be. But Jeff Parker's run was probably what started to send them really away from the concept (and was actively butchering Moonstone).

I highly recommend Thunderbolts by Kurt Busiek though! That gives you a better idea of what the original, and generally agreed upon as the best, concept. I think it's branded on most things as "Thunderbolts Classic" if that makes it easier to find.
