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 didn't know you were a comic geek...
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.
