Oh what's the issue? You claim the number is bogus with no proof but based on a 'connection'. What's to debate?

:mjlol: How all the Disney Franchise films all have positive reviews( even the trash films) and 5 Staff Members including President and VP worked for Disney is no proof .

Oh someone doesn't know what qualifies as proof and not every review of a Disney movie is positive. What are you talking about?

I'm only going for the post credit scenes. I dont care about what happens to this movie beyond the avengers connection.

Ya'll gotta stop with this rational, because it makes no sense to go spend money on 2 scenes that'll be uploaded on YouTube within a few days. Just admit you want to see Captain Marvel and are only pretending to not care about her.

These white dudes on YouTube are hilarious...for people who have the most privilege in the world they are sensitive as hell :mjlol: Literally 95% of movies that come out have a white male lead.


"I gave Black Panther a 8/10...and I was called a klansman" :laff:

Straight fukking cry-babies.

Just review the damn movie and quit crying.

Then you have these weird ass feminist who pounce on anybody who is critical about it...They all need to be banned from the internet.

I'm finna wait awhile to see this in theaters. I don't trust any of these people, mothafukkas might try some shyt. :francis:

Captain Meow-vel and the effemination of the human male
or How to stop worrying about physics and become a Flat-Asser
​
Somewhere in this film the Kree use a device to specify the alien cat Goose as a high level threat, then turn the device to Nick Fury, detecting him as a human male, and designating his threat level to be none. Kree warrior Yon-Rogg yells at Carol Danvers to prove that she's stronger than him with her own strength. As she looks down on him, she declares that she has nothing to prove to him. Small flashback scenes of cocky males telling Carol that women can't do what men do, most of which appear to be extended scenes that got cut or scenes that got forced into a finished screenplay, round up all of the film's content that could possibly be used to state that this is film promotes a "feminist agenda". It is safe to say for all the marketing tricks Marvel employed, the film itself is not nearly as blow-hardy in shytting on toxic masculinity than any other chick flick of the past five years, and in fact still a very traditional Marvel film above anything else.

And following that formula this film becomes another solid but not spectacular addition to the MCU. The story is properly thought-out and moves at a brisk pace while keeping most of the cheap Marvel laughs at bay until the plot focus changes past the halfway mark. The action set pieces aren't particularly stand-out safe for Captain Marvel's big bold blow-out in space, but that scene alone is enough to make you a fan of the character (or remind you why you used to be a fan before they over-pushed the shyt out her in the comics). At least here she is not as overpushed as the cat/Flerken is, which provides a good chuckle here and then but is mostly used as a device for female audiences to "aww..." over.

Either way, you'll be shocked to hear that Brie Larson's ass is not the flattest thing in the film, because there's also her performance, which isn't all bad, but at certain times does manage to be flatter than a MAGA-supporter thinks the earth is. When in her element, she exudes a cocky confidence that works really well playing off the people around her. But in the more expository parts, or when she's on the side of other people talking, she dryly emotes nothing, giving her all the air of an actress who needs constant direction to remember that even when you have nothing to play with, you are still supposed to be playing a role. It is almost embarassing in a scene opposite of Lashana Lynch, who in a one-minute scene of her recalling their shared past, evokes more genuine emotion than Larson can muster in the entire film, and frankly makes her stand as an actress who is destined to make a name for herself. It doesn't mean Larson is bad (for truly bad, look no further than whatever the hell they paid Annette Benning to do), but she is definitely not the golden goose that this role needed to push the character to the top tier that Marvel so desperately wants it to be. Perhaps under different directors (looking at you, Russo's) she can get there, but right now she must thank the heavens that Scarlett Johansson didn't bother to show up for work too for the mid-credits scene so she didn't get outplayed by another bit part actress.

Also, last but not least, I will never understand that for all of Marvel's intention on an expanded universe, they love killing off villains. From Strucker in Age Of Ultron to Crossbones in Civil War, they just refuse to let some bad guys roam free for future use. This film does no different, giving us one of the very few (and even then barely) noteworthy comic book foes Carol has in Minerva, only to use her as a two-bit goon who gets taken out at the end, making you wonder who the hell they plan to use for any sequels since that practically leaves nobody else. Then again, Marvel has been working around their villain problem for years now, so I'm sure it won't stop them now. As it stands, for a film boasted so big to be Marvel's first female led film, it leaves remarkably little lasting impression, proving that for all of the overblown backlash and online complaints, Marvel will always just do what Marvel does.
