Captain Marvel (Official Thread) March 8th 2019: 7th Marvel Film To Cross 1B$

[AnonymityX1000]

Just got back a couple hours ago. I give it a 7/10. I liked the story a lot but some of the execution could have been better. It blended the sci-fi and Earth elements well. Brie Larson was better than she was coming off in the ads but still there is a lot of room for improvement. Sam Jack was good but I was actually expecting more. And Talos/Ben Mendelsson was the MVP. I hope they bring him back in a future MCU movie.

Said this movie aint for white men

She said that about A Wrinkle In Time a year ago, cacs just decided to bring it back up and "boycott" because it's her first lead role since those comments.

oh so comic accuracy dont matter now, bet

keep that same energy when other companies make changes to their comic book films

Movies have been adjusting/changing things that were based on other mediums (comic books, reg. books, games, etc.) since the get go. They're adaptions and that's part of the point, that they're not supposed to be 1:1 translations. Also, considering that the era that a lot of these books were made, which either isn't considering much other demographics out there (both from the consumers of said content and real world demographics in general) and/or are just antiquated ways of thinking and living since those times, it's only right that things that aren't that integral at least, would have drastic changes to take care of accommodations of the world of today.

You can make a point with race change of a character, for someone like Black Panther, would be a sin, since where his place of origin and entire mythos is too based and inclusive on his race for it to be changed. For someone where the race is more insensitive or stereotypically insulting, then the change makes more sense (like changing the Ancient One from some tibetian monk in Dr. Strange). In cases when race wasn't really integral or anything to begin with (such as Nick Fury being black in the MCU or Mary Jane being mixed), then it's really irrelevant if it was changed. When it involves someone in a case where those are not only not major factors, but is also even for something far more LITERALLY alien based, gender change in the case here doesn't really fukking matter.

Looks like she criticized her press days after seeing they were "overwhelmingly white male"

Brie Larson doesn't want ‘Captain Marvel’ press tour 'to be overwhelmingly white male’: report

The :mindblowing: thing is that even tho they made this abundantly clear early on in the movie and it was one of the central plot points, people still complained about her monotone acting.

In MOS, Clark Kent grew up on earth and he was monotone for the entire movie for no good reason. Contrast that to Christopher Reeves superman.

People have selective memories.

That is a BS cop out. When they were training and Carol was told "control her emotions" that DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN TO BECOME ROBOTIC. Stop trying to cop pleas for the wooden acting that was in this film. They made Captain Marvel a one-dimensional bland character. Especially if she supposedly human and therefore, eventually human emotions would come through, especially when learning the truth of who she is. The fact remains she was BLAND. And even in MoS Superman emoted some kind of rage or emotion in many scenes.... so, don't use that comparison.

Good movie. Some of y'all nikkaz hate women to hard. shyt not that deep to me. I really enjoyed it. Not the best marvel movie but shyt was far from wack

Go get some p*ssy nikkaz

This movie gave me exactly what I wanted. It was an appetizer for the main course next month. It's a mid-tier Marvel movie at best but I really enjoyed it. I'd watch it again. That mid credits scene got me hype for Endgame. There was some desperation there.

She showed emotion in the appropriate parts of the film tho, just in moderation. In comparison to the Kree, she was more emotional and rebellious. She was snarky and cheeky with Fury. She did show to catch some feels when she discovered more of her background. Some of ya'll taking the wooden/monotone angle too far. Convenient amensia like a muhfukka.

I can’t believe cats is still trynna use that as shots

When it comes to comic book accuracy, I think as long as some of the same elements stay the same it’s never a problem....

Like as long a Kal El is still a kid from Krypton who was discovered by the Kent’s, grew up as Clark from Smallville and so on.... all is well. We don’t care that Perry White is now black and Jimmy Olsen is non existent or dead.

If Superman came from Jupiter and arrived to earth as a man escaping a intergalactic war with aliens from Saturn, somehow lost his memories, was discovered by Lois, said his name was Clark and got a job as a janitor at the DB and so on.

shyt like this will make people go up in an uproar on some “that’s not my Superman” shyt which is fair. If you not gonna make a Superman movie don’t call it Superman.

This in no way was a shot at SM or DC, but using that as an example for the worlds morst recognized CB hero

Also, she wasn’t robotic she was “alien”

Similar to how Spock is usually casted..... he’s wooden

Cool cool cool.

 

[fact]

The minor side character is actually pretty important in the comic. They were clearly going for shock and that was stupid.

Yeah, and fukking Silver Surfer and Adam Warlock were ESSENTIAL to the Infinity Gauntlet comic series, and Marvel did just fine w/o them. After this weekend, I’m just convinced people came in with their minds made up, and this is all rooted in bad faith, 100%. The only way a lot of these folks were gonna like CM is if it was a male lead.
