Question, can DC even use captain marvel's name in the movie?!?

I don't think they can. For years, the deal was they couldn't use his name in marketing, but were free to use it in comics and cartoons. I can't remember if the change was made because they legally can't use it at all now or they just got tired of using a name they couldn't advertise.

I don't think so, hence the running joke over creating superhero names.

 

[Brandeezy]

They can call him Captain Marvel, they just can't use the name on print as it's trademarked by Marvel.

Which makes the whole name thing in the movie make so much more sense

The way they stuck to character traits was great attention to detail.

Another thing I loved is how the movie so effortlessly set up its sequels without being gratuitous. The teases and lore was woven right into the movie. So many other superhero movies from both Marvel and DC struggle with this, often stopping the movie to tell us "Hey. This thing is coming next" or hiding it in some easter egg. Here, if you know the character, they gave you enough to be excited about without sacrificing any story.

In particular,

Spoiler

We got Black Adam's backstory explained and a short look at the realms of magic. The post-credit scene assured us Sivana would return teamed up with Mister Mind.
