Take note, feminazis...this is how you do a GIRL POWER scene without it coming off hamfisted and over the top. You don't have to tear down a man in a scene just to make the woman look good.

It'd be like if they filled Black Panther full of shit about white men. Thank god they didn't do that. |
One thing I LOVED was the Stan Lee cameo and Danvers' reaction to him.
Absolutely nailed it. |

Meh. She may have her priorities a little off kilter but now people are making tons of videos ridiculing her and it's becoming a bit silly. I find it childish tbh.

i enjoyed this quite a lot.

I hope Larson grows more into the role, though. |
I thought it was fine and entertaining enough. Did like the various test pilot references of Edwards Air force Base. Looking at The Right Stuff at Blockbuster and the bar called Panchos but probably missed some others.

I finally watched it. It was a lot better than I thought that it was going to be

Rented this last night and thought it was a jumbled piece of crap
Probably not a popular opinion, but that’s exactly what I thought of it |

Have it for 2 nights, so might give it another shot later and see if I like it any better the second time around |
Have tried to watch it three times, fell asleep every time. I just can't relate to the character. Where is the fall from grace and redemption? Like SuperMan, no real weakness and is just perfect. Shazam was more entertaining...

I didn't like how they made the Skrulls the sympathetic character(s) in this movie. That lot is as big of bad guys as Marvel has to offer.
It wasn't awful, but it's not in the top 10 of MCU movies. |

It’s subpar among comic book movies IMO |

I'm not sure anybody has hailed it as a triumph of excellence, but if they did it's probably them overreacting after the vitriolic backlash the movie got from the misogynists and incels online long before anyone could possibly have seen it.
As far as top 10 mcu, that's a damn high bar to set after 20 years. They've put out a lot of really good movies featuring a lot of characters most of us are way more connected to than captain marvel, movies that only seem better in retrospect thanks to nostalgia. And I think a few of us are prone to react negatively to Captain Marvel exactly because of the social push behind it. I mean, I can't speak for everyone, but I don't particularly like being told how to think or what I'm going to like. And on top of that, leading up to the movie, Brie Larson was pretty unlikable in interviews. So I was kind of predisposed to not like it, if I'm being honest. And then there's the way we talk about Brie Larson in a physical sense. Her tits aren't big enough and her ass is flat seemed to be the top opinions, and somebody else should get the job because she's not hot enough. Which was almost word for word what was said about a certain Wonder Woman actress a few years ago. So maybe we're not exactly a collection of guys who were ever going to give this movie high marks. |
If you haven’t looked up Brie Larsons leaked nudes, do it. She’s hot as hell man. I think I posted them in this thread.
Her tits are amazing. |

I had issues with it, but mostly just from a comic-source standpoint. The original Mar-Vell character(Original Captain Marvel) was really important to Carol Danvers' character backstory, and they changed that very dramatically and it turned out pretty shitty. They morphed a lot of the Ms. Marvel story line into the Captain Marvel story, and again from knowing the comics, it felt like a pretty cheap and lazy way to go about it. I really really hated the way they made the Skrulls into some poor sob story immigrant storyline, because that shits all over many different comic runs. I'm just hoping maybe they tie in some awesome Secret Invasion type of storyline twist to explain it all, otherwise this just doesn't quite sit right with the overall story arc. Also, I thought Brie Larson's acting was a bit flat. Not terrible, just unemotional and odd.

I don't like modern Captain Marvel. I don't like what they've done to Danvers over the years, and the movie was as flat and boring as I expected. They've stripped all humanity from the character by trying to make her iconic. Iconic just happens. You can't MAKE it happen. Most of the time relateable flaws are what create that iconic status in context of the times in which they rise to fame. Trying to make someone too perfect.... meh. It comes off like the self insert of a narcissistic writer. Yes about the Skrulls and Kree. Everything about that annoyed TF outta me. You know why. |

She's a completely different character than the one I grew up with, but hey... the movie was a big financial success, so hopefully they FINALLY found an audience for her. |

Instead, they are now in process of changing the movies to match the modern comic nonsense. |

That said, I love period movies and fell asleep in the middle of Wonder Woman. I watched Black Panther and found it to be good but not this universe altering miracle of a film. There's no question that the woke crowd has pets and they'll pump a movie up because they badly WANT it to be good. And even when a movie is genuinely good on its merits (again, BP was a good movie), they'll overhype it to the point of overselling. Those critics will give a movie like Captain Marvel a much wider berth than they'd have given to, say, Ant Man. |
Green thumb, DJLN
Some of these movies have been hyped beyond all reason |

What does it say about our culture when our "culture wars" are about reeruned comic book movies?
