Carol spends nearly 75% of the film letting people control her. She obeys Jude Law's character without question. She pleads with the Supreme Intelligence to let her prove herself and agrees with that they gave her power and she blindly accepts that they can take it away if she doesn't do well. She even believes that the Skulls messed with her head and implanted memories. This movie isn't about her fighting an external enemy, it's about her discovering her own agency and that her power is hers not someone else's. I don't understand the argument that there was no character development or that she was over-powered when it takes her the entire movie to realize how powerful she truly is. It just feels like a complaint from someone who is uncomfortable with seeing a woman having that kind of power and owning it. You probably were really digging it when Jude Law's character was throwing her around and punching her in the face, huh?
This sounds like every response these cac feminists had to anyone who didn't like the movie, and yet ya'll said the haters on here were parroting white men's talking points.:pachaha:

Really have no desire to watch this but can I get a neutral opinion in regard to needing to watch this before Avengers?
it explains the pager, may explain more, I have to see endgame

there is movement with the tesseract but you will only confuse yourself, and you really don't need to know why nick fury lost his eye.

I liked it, but I understand that brie larson is supposed to be some boring selfish hipster chick, every marvel superhero isn't supposed to do stand up, there is some stuff you can interpret as male bashing but it aint as bad as people think, I look at it more of people in general are always trying to dominate you

can't wait to see it again

What are you talking about? Can you dispute that Carol was obeying orders without question for 75% of the movie? If you can't, just admit that. Has nothing to do with feminism. Facts are facts. She was not using her full power for most of the film and she was letting people tell her what to do and think. If you have evidence to the contrary, present it.

I don't understand why people think men are uncomfortable seeing a woman with super powers?:mindblown:

I've never seen it in "real life".People bite on the propaganda too damn tough:francis:


That shyt is overblown like a muthafukka

Maybe because several posters have said that Carol was overpowered, and don't say the same thing about Thor, Dr Strange, or Superman. Why all of a sudden is having too much power a problem in a comic book movie?

The bolded part is where you fukked up. No one complained about Scarlett Witch realizing her true power, and no one complained about WW being super powerful. The problem is them really going overboard with CM to justify her being the future leader of the MCU. The real question is why are ya'll so pissed at people not liking this movie/character? Ya'll are either not black or some serious nikka nerds, because ya'll are doing too much when it comes to this white woman.:mjlol:

Double edged sword when you go down this route. So the fukk does that make you dedicating all this time to argue with "cacs and nikka nerds" over some shyt you don't even like?

I keep telling nikkas to stay away from using absolutes and labels but they never listen. :OhDamn2:

How come when someone debates people on a message board they're "all up in their feelings' or "pissed off"? Why can't it just be a debate? Did I call you names? Did I cuss you out? Where are you getting the "pissed off" part? We're debating about a controversial movie that has people divided and I'm on one side of the debate, you're on the other.

I'm also a woman. Yes, I'm a black woman, but I'm a woman too. I can be both. I don't have to choose between being a cac or white woman sympathizer. I could just be happy as fukk to see a woman superhero because, whiteness aside, we don't get see that a lot. I don't have to choose between my race and my gender when something strikes a chord with me. This movie struck a chord with me, perhaps because of my gender. And that's OK. You don't have to understand or like it.

I don't think it's because she's a woman.It's the jarring way in which Marvel's going about introducing her into the universe.

People, not just men, are concerned about her becoming another "Mary Sue".That potential element's boring, lazy, and comes

off forced.I blame shytty writers & politics.Not women.A dope character is a dope character.Captain Marvel as a staff, movie

company, and a crew gave us some bunk/watered down shyt in this flick.You can see the skeleton for a good movie there.They

just didn't flesh it out right.Movie felt minimum effort/bubble gum IMO.But that's just me.When it comes to solo flicks, Marvel normally

does better with the sequels:hubie:

Pretty much this. The whole film was pretty much telegraphed the whole way and nothing really stuck out, Marvel really didn't want to take any chances with this one and it shows.
If this was a Thor/Superman I would still feel the same way so shyts a moot point.

It doesn't matter really since CM looks like it's going to make a cool billion anyway:yeshrug:

Also, I dunno if its a response to the (white) fan boy hate, but the whole blonde white gurl= minority too! caping is annoying.
